A New Species

A new species of Spionidae, Scolelepis (Scolelepis) daphoinos sp. nov., is described and illustrated from northern China seas. The species was frequently encountered and highly abundant on sand beaches, but rarely found in subtidal areas. It was formerly misidentified as S. (S.) squamata (Müller, 1806) in China but differed from the latter species in several details in morphology, including the presence of obvious reddish pigmentation patches and the absence of unidentate hooded hooks. Another two Scolelepis species, S. (S.) lingulata Imajima, 1992 and S. (S.) variegata Imajima, 1992, are reported for the first time from Chinese waters. Two species of Scolelepis, S. (S.) globosa Wu & Chen, 1964 and S. (S.) lefebvrei (Gravier, 1905), were reported previously; therefore, five species in this genus are known from China in total. A key to all Scolelepis species from Chinese waters is provided.

AbstractEpipelic cyanobacteria were studied in bottom sediments from ponds and lakes in the United Kingdom and the Czech Republic, covering a trophic gradient from deep, oligotrophic, glacial lakes to shallow, eutrophic, urban manmade ponds. Although many planktic species were observed, the most frequently occurring cyanobacteria were the motile filamentous genera Oscillatoria, Phormidium, Pseudanabaena and Komvophoron. These genera represent autochtonous epipelic assemblages, occurring in upper surface layers of the sediments throughout the year and exhibiting seasonal variation in their abundancy. The occurrence of individual Komvophoron species was influenced by sediment quality, particularly the proportions of fine mud and organic detritus. A new species Komvophoron hindakii sp. nov. is described. Morphological features, autecology and occurrence of all the Komvophoron-like morphospecies found are discussed.

Four species of Thinolestris Grootaert & Meuffels are known so far, including T. nigra sp. nov., which is described here from Singapore, Malaysia and Brunei. New morphological data on the genus are given. At the moment, Thinolestris is only known from Andaman Sea, Strait of Singapore, South China Sea, Celebes Sea, Bismarck Sea and the Coral Sea. It is not yet known from North Australia nor from the Gulf of Thailand, or farther north. Thinolestris adults are active on beaches with small pebbles mixed with sandy patches. It is not found on rocks, pure sandy beaches nor mangroves.

Ancinus jarocho n. sp. described from mesolittoral zone of sandy beaches in Veracruz State, Mexico, is the eighth species of the genus and the second record for the Gulf of Mexico coast. The new species is characterized by an antennular flagellum of 11–16 articles, single aesthetasc in 9 distal flagellar articles, uropodal endopod styliform, lightly arched and shortest than pleotelson, male pleopod 5 exopod with the distomesial margin serrated, with minutes spines. Ancinus jarocho n. sp. is morphologically similar to A. granulatus, which has a truncate pleotelson apex, densely granulated body surface and eyes on elevated swellings.

Five species of pycnogonid from shallow-water sampling of the hyperbenthos on some sandy beaches in Ecuador in 2001 and 2002 are discussed. Three of the species, Tanystylum isthmiacum Stock, 1955, Anoropallene palpida (Hilton, 1939) and Anoplodactylus californicus Hall, 1912, have been recorded previously from Ecuador waters; one species, Ammothella symbia Child, 1979, is newly recorded for Ecuador; one species of Anoplodactylus is described herein as new. The currently known pycnogonid fauna of Ecuador is listed.

The talitrid amphipod Platorchestia Bousfield, 1982 is common in sandy beaches, estuarine marshes, shores of lakes and rivers. They are detritivores, and being prey for birds and other animals, they play an important role in the food chain. In the present study, we identified a new Platorchestia from Guan-du, Taiwan, based on morphological (light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy) and molecular approach (sequence divergence in the mitochondria DNA, COI) and described herein. Platorchestia paludosus sp. nov. from the Guan-du was morphologically different from all reported Platorchestia species, but it was very close to P. japonica (Tattersall, 1922). The distribution pattern of setae in the lateral margin of the telson and sharpness of ramus tip of uropod 3, however, exhibit diagnostic differences between the two species. From sequence divergence in COI, Platorchestia paludosus differed from P. japonica 13.3% in average, values that are comparable to inter-specific differences in other amphipod taxa.

Collections of filamentous higher marine fungi gathered along sandy beaches and the mangal of Queensland yielded 43 species, of which 28 are new records for Australia. Six additional species have been recorded earlier but did not occur in this survey. The annotated list contains 43 ascomycetes, one basidiomycete and five anamorphic ('imperfect') fungi. Among the hosts and substrates are Avicennia marina, Avicennia sp., Osbornia octodonta, Pandanus sp., Rhizophora stylosa and Rhizophora sp. Massarina Iacertensis Kohlm. & Volkm.-Kohlm. sp. nov. is a new species on wood of R. stylosa from Lizard Island.
