A New Species

Eight species of Philocheras (Crustacea: Caridea: Crangonidae) are reported from the Northwest Shelf of Western Australia. One species is new to science Philocheras anthonyi sp. nov. Five species are reported for the first time from Australian waters, P. angustirostris (De Man, 1918), P. incisus (Kemp, 1916), P. japonicus (Doflein, 1902), P. modestus (De Man, 1918) and P. plebs (Kemp, 1916). A range extension within Australia is reported for Philocheras lowisi (Kemp, 1916) and P. planoculminus Bruce, 1994. These records expand the number of Philocheras species previously recorded from Australian waters from ten to 16. A revised key and illustrated guide to the species from Australia is provided.

A New Species

The present study focuses on shrimps belonging to the genus Lysmata Risso, 1816, collected from Madagascar during the Atimo Vatae expedition carried out in 2010. Lysmata malagasy sp. nov. is a new species belonging to the clade named “long accessory ramous” or “cosmopolitan” in previous phylogenetic studies. The new species can be distinguished from the only two other representatives of this group in the Indo-west Pacific, L. ternatensis De Man, 1902, and L. trisetacea (Heller, 1861), by the accessory ramus of the lateral antennular flagellum consisting of four elongated articles. Lysmata lipkei Okuno & Fiedler, 2010 is reported here from Madagascar with a remarkable extension of its known range after its original description from Japan. This species has also been reported from Singapore and, as alien species, from Brazil. Lastly, L. kuekenthali De Man, 1902 known from numerous localities in the Indo-West Pacific biogeographic area, is reported for the first time from Madagascar. Results of the present morphological and molecular analyses suggest that L. hochi Baeza & Anker, 2008 from the Caribbean Sea is a synonym of the Indo-West Pacific L. kuekenthali, and thus the latter species is alien in the western Atlantic.

The genus Planchonia Blume is reviewed for Australia with two species recognised. Planchonia rupestris R.L. Barrett is described as a new species apparently endemic to the sandstone plateaux of the Kimberley region of Western Australia. Lectotypes are designated for Cumbia australis Britten, Planchonia crenata Miers and Planchonia arborea var. australis Benth., each of which are synonyms of Planchonia careya (F.Muell.) Kunth. Illustrations, distribution maps and a key to the Australian species are presented.

A New Species

The crustacean order Thermosbaenacea is reported for the first time from the Southern Hemisphere, from almost fresh water in a cave habitat in tropical Western Australia. Halosbaena tulki, sp. nov. belongs to a genus previously known only from saline waters in the West Indies, Columbia and Canary Is. The discovery is consistent with a very ancient origin of the order and distribution of the genus by plate movements following the breakup of Pangaea.

A New Species

A new species of the genus Cypselosoma Hendel is described, in both the adult and immature stages. This constitutes the first record of the family Cypselosomatidae in Australia. Notes on the family, generic, and specific characters are given with keys to aid identification. The ecology of the new species is discussed and some adaptions necessary to survival in its environment are pointed out. The known distribution of the cypselosomatid genera Cypselosoma and Formicosepsis is given, and the latter recorded from New Guinea for the first time. The relationships of the families Micropezidae and Neriidae are discussed in the light of knowledge gained from the more primitive Cypselosomatidae. It is concluded that the superfamily Micropezoidea should include the following families : Pseudopomyzidae, Cypselosomatidae, Neriidae, Micropezidae, and Megamerinidae. Protoborborus Malloch and Heluscolia Harrison are mentioned as new synonyms of Pseudopomyza Strobl. The genus Heloclusia Malloch is transferred from the Heleomyzidae to the Pseudopomyzidae.

AbstractThe members of Euoplothrips are probably all kleptoparasites on various gall-inducing thrips. A new species of the genus, E. platypodae, is described from Gynaikothrips leaf galls on Ficus platypoda in Western Australia. Three different species from Tonga, Samoa and the Solomon Islands are each known from leaf galls on Ficus. In contrast, the eastern Australian species E. bagnalli is recorded from the leaf galls of other thrips on Smilax australis and Alyxia spicata. E. armatus Moulton from Papua New Guinea is included as a further synonym of E. bagnalli. A key is provided to distinguish these five species. E. malabarica is also included although it is known only from the original description and is probably not congeneric.

The Australian species of Exorista Meigen are revised and the genus redescribed from these species. E. auriceps Macquart is confirmed as a synonym of E.flaviceps Macquart, and E. mungomeryi (Baranov) is synonymized with E. curriei (Curran). E. quadriseta (Baranov) is recorded from Australia for the first time. A new species is described below as E. norrisi, but five other species are left unnamed until further material is available. A key to the 14 species known in Australia is provided. Knowledge of the remaining seven genera of Exoristini in Australia is insufficient for their detailed treatment but pertinent comments on each are given. The presence of Phorinia Robineau-Desvoidy in Australia is confirmed. A partial list of the distinguishing features of the Exoristini is included.

Two new species of hippolytid shrimp are described from the continental margin of Western Australia, Lebbeus clarehannah sp. nov. from one female specimen collected off Bald Island, WA, at depths of 408–431 m and Lebbeus cristagalli sp. nov. from ten specimens collected off north-western Australia at depths of 397–458 m. Both species belong to the group of Lebbeus species possessing epipods on only the first two pairs of pereopods. Within this group, they are similar to L. yaldwyni Kensley, Tranter & Griffin, 1987 from NSW, Australia, and L. compressus Holthuis, 1947 from Japan in possessing a high crest on the carapace. These crested species of Lebbeus are reviewed. They can be distinguished from one another by the shape of the carapace crest, the number of spines on maxilliped 3 and by colour pattern. A key to all crested species and colour photos of the Australian species are provided.

Abstract:The new species Ramboldia blastidiata Kantvilas & Elix, from Tasmania and mainland Australia is described, and the new combination, R. elabens (Fr.) Kantvilas & Elix is proposed. The South American R. petraeoides var. concava (Müll. Arg.) Fryday is considered a synonym of R. petraeoides (Nyl. ex C. Bab. & Mitt.) Kantvilas & Elix s. str., and R. crassithallina Kalb and R. sorediata Kalb, both previously considered endemic to Western Australia, are recorded from Tasmania for the first time. A key to the 11 species of Ramboldia is presented.

Large collections of Australian Syllidae (Polychaeta) from the Australian Museum (Sydney) have been examined and identified, together with material from the Hamburgische Zoologische Museum der Universität (Hamburg, Germany), as well as some specimens from other museums. All known Australian species of the subfamily Syllinae belonging to Inermosyllis San Martín, 2003 (1 species), Megasyllis n. gen. (3 species), Opisthosyllis Langerhans, 1879 (5 species), and Trypanosyllis Claparède, 1864 (2 species), are described and figured. The Scanning Electron Microscope was used to illustrate relevant taxonomic characters and reproduction methods in these genera. Inermosyllis pseudohaploides is described as a new species. Megasyllis is described as a new genus, including M. corruscans (Haswell, 1885) and M. heterosetosa (Hartmann-Schöder, 1991) from Australia, and M. inflata (Marenzeller, 1879) from Japan and Australia; thespecies M. multiannulata (Aguado, San Martín & Nishi, in press) from Japan is also referred to this genus. The genus Inermosyllis is reported for the first time from Australia, as well as the species Opisthosyllis longicirrata Monro, 1939 and Trypanosyllis aeolis Langerhans, 1879.
