A New Species

A new species of the genus Sabellaria Lamarck, 1818 (Annelida: Polychaeta: Sabellariidae) is described from the intertidal zone of Jeram, Selangor, Malaysia. Sabellaria jeramae n. sp. is a gregarious species that constructs large reefs several hundreds of meters long and 50–200 m wide. The new species is distinguished from other congeners by the character combination of the presence of a single kind of middle paleae with conspicuous morphology, and outer paleae with long frayed teeth. Morphological features of the species are described and compared to those of all congeneric species. We also compare the reef structure and geographical distribution of the new species to those of the members of the family Sabellariidae around the world, demonstrating the ecological traits of the reefs.

A New Species

The marine intertidal zone constitutes one of the most interesting ecosystems on the earth. Oribatid mites of the family Fortuyniidae inhabit marine intertidal habitats in the tropical and subtropical coasts of the world. This family has not been known from Iran until now. The present work deals with a new oribatid species of this family found at the coast of the Gulf of Oman, southeastern Iran, from algae in the intertidal zone of a rocky shore. Fortuynia iranica sp. nov., is described from littoral environments of Chabahar Beach, Sistan and Baluchistan province based on adult and juvenile (deutonymph) stages. The new species is characterized by the presence of both prodorsal external and internal channels; fourteen smooth, thin and long notogastral setae, with a light-colored porose spot in the insertions, c3 completely absent; sensilli with a very slightly oriented head; glove-like lenticulus; epimeral setation 3-1-3-2 and presence of one pair of aggenital setae. An updated diagnostic key to the adults of known species of Fortuynia van der Hammen, 1960 is given.

The description of a new species of oribatid mites (Oribatida) of the family Zetorchestidae—Zetorchestes krisperi sp. nov.—is proposed based on adult and tritonymph specimens collected from rainforest soil of Bi Dup-Nui Ba National Park (southern Vietnam). We also review the distinguishing characteristics for Zetorchestes species and present an identification key to Zetorchestes species of the world. Diagnostic features of Zetorchestes nymphs are discussed.

Sponges of the Family Pachastrellidae Carter, 1875 are distributed worldwide and found generally in deep water. Up to date, only four species are known for the Brazilian coast (Muricy 2018): Characella aspera Sollas, 1886, C. capitolii Mothes et al. 2007, C. pachastrelloides (Carter, 1876), and Pachastrella monilifera Schmidt, 1868. In this study, a new species of Characella is described from the mesophotic zone off Bacia Potiguar (Rio Grande do Norte State, Northeastern Brazil). The specimen was preserved in 80% ethanol and deposited in the Porifera Collection of the Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (UFPEPOR). Taxonomic comparisons were made with data tabulated for all species of Characella available in the World Porifera Database (van Soest et al. 2018).

A New Species

A new species of the pagurid hermit crab genus Catapagurus A. Milne-Edwards, 1880, C. insolitus, is described and illustrated based on specimens from shallow waters in Okinawa Island, the Ryukyus. It belongs to an informal species group characterized by the possession of blade-shaped ambulatory dactyli, and is morphologically most similar to C. kosugei (Asakura, 2001). However, the new species is unique within the genus in having a multispinose antennal acicle, rarely seen in species of the family Paguridae.
