Three New Species

Three new species of Polycystididae are described: Brachyrhynchus triplostylis n. gen. n. sp., B. acutus n. sp. and B. oosterlyncki n. sp. They are the first species of Polycystididae to be described with a second, single-walled accessory stylet connected to a small glandular vesicle in the male system. The three species can be distinguished from each other by the detailed morphology and the relative lengths of the three stylets in the male system. The relationships of these species with other representatives of Polycystididae are discussed.

AbstractSiculaphis vittoriensis gen.nov., sp.nov., Myzocallis (Hoplocallis) microsiphon sp.nov., and M. (Agrioaphis) cocciferina sp.nov. are described. The new taxa have a Mediterranean distribution, and Quercus calliprinos Webb is their main host. Accounts are given of their morphology, taxonomic position, and ecology. A key is presented for the four species in the subgenus Hoplocallis.

Three new species are described from the Comoros, an archipelago in the Indian Ocean: Teratothyasides scutulatus Smit & Pesic n. sp., Platymamersopsis comoros Smit & Pesic n. sp. and Atractides comorosensis Smit & Pesic n. sp. One species is reported new for the fauna of the Comoros, i.e. Monatractides ventriosa (K. Viets, 1916).

Four apseudomorph tanaidaceans are recorded from benthos of the shelf off Angola and off northern Namibia (SouthWest Africa). Of these, three are new to science, one each in the genera Hemikalliapseudes, Calozodion andApseudopsis. The genus Hemikalliapseudes now contains four species, all described from West Africa (Angola andMauretania). The new species Hemikalliapseudes sebastiani sp. nov. is separated from other species of this genus byfeatures of several appendages, and the shape of the cephalothorax, pereonites and telson. The genus Calozodion ismainly distributed in the Atlantic and also in the Indian Ocean. Calozodion dominiki sp. nov. is the tenth representativeof the genus and is readily distinguished from all others in that the cheliped propodus of the male has only smallprocesses proximo-ventrally. The new species was widely distributed in the investigation area. Apseudopsis cuanzanussp. nov. is a new member of this species-rich and widely-distributed genus. It differs from the other species of this genusby a combination of several morphological features, including the absence of a dorsodistal spine on the pereopod 1merus, the lack of anterolateral spines on the pereonites, the shape of rostrum and by the absence of plumose setae on pereopod six basis.

Three New Species

Among the numerous littoral Alcyonarians collected by the Royal Indian Marine survey ship Investigator in the Indian Ocean there are five small Siphonogorgids of exceptional interest and apparently new to science. As some time must elapse before the publication of the complete memoir on the Indian Ocean collection, it seems advisable to make a separate report on these new forms. In so doing, I must acknowledge my indebtedness to Professor A. Alcock, F.R.S., and Professor J. Arthur Thomson, M.A., F.R.S.E., University of Aberdeen, for the opportunity of studying these interesting forms, and to the latter also for much kind advice and encouragement.

AbstractThe spiral intestines of a total of 16 round fantail stingraysTaeniurops grabatafrom the Mediterranean Sea off Tunisia were examined for cestodes. A new genus is erected in the Anthocephaliidae (Rhinebothridea) asAlveobothriumgen. n., withAlveobothrium grabatumsp. n. as its type species; the new genus differs from the other genera in the order in that its members possess bothridia with an apical sucker, marginal loculi and multiple staggered rows of facial loculi.Alveobothrium zarzisensesp. n. is also described. The species differ in the number of marginal loculi and in proglotid anatomy. Another anthocephaliid belonging to the genusAnthocephalumis also described fromT. grabata. Anthocephalum jeancadenatisp. n. is most similar toA. alicaeandA. michaeli, but differs in size of terminal proglottid and number of proglottids. All these new species are also found in formalin-preserved cestodes fromT. grabatacollected at Gorée Island (Senegal) between 1946 and 1954 by the French ichthyologist J. Cadenat and conserved in the personal collection of the late L. Euzet. The presence of the same rhinebothriideans species parasitizingT. grabatain both the Mediterranean (Tunisia) and the eastern Atlantic (Senegal) is discussed.

Preliminary Phylogenetic Analysis

New sponge species belonging to the closely related fistular genera Zyzzya, Cornulella, Damiria, and Acheliderma are described from reef habitats off the coasts of Colombia, Bonaire and Curaçao in the southern Caribbean. With very few exceptions these sponges are small to tiny specimens inhabiting crevices and other cryptic habitats; some may be excavating. For comparison both published and unpublished material belonging to these genera from other parts of the world was examined, and this yielded several nomenclatorial changes and a further three new species from the Indian Ocean. The new species are: Zyzzya invemar (Caribbean), Cornulella santamartae (Caribbean), C. tyro (Seychelles), C. amirantensis (Seychelles), Damiria leonorae (Caribbean), D. toxifera (Seychelles) and Acheliderma lisannae (Caribbean). All species belonging to these genera, as well as to the closely related Indo-Pacific genus Paracornulum, are briefly diagnosed. The genera and species of this group are found to be distributed over tropical and subtropical waters of all three oceans. The five genera were so far of controversial systematic allocation, although their close relationship with Cornulum was generally accepted. The recently revived family Iophonidae is demonstrated to be the likely assemblage for them. A brief survey of Iophonidae genera is presented and a preliminary phylogenetic analysis of the fistular genera is attempted. Although several parts of the phylogenetic relationships remain unsolved, it is nevertheless clear that in all genera the closest relatives are not found in adjacent areas, but are often disjunct.
