Two new littoral species of the genus Anurida, viz. A. kyshyensis sp. nov. and A. abashiriensis sp. nov., have been described from the eastern coasts of Chukchi Peninsula (Russia) and Hokkaido Island (Japan), respectively. The former species is most similar to sympatric A. similis Fjellberg, 1985 and A. martynovae Fjellberg, 1985 differing from both of them due to the permanent presence of additional lateral setae on thorax and 3+3 axial setae on Abd.4. A. abashiriensis sp. nov., having unique mandibles and hypertrophic elongate maxillae with long lamellae, is hard to compare with any known species of Anurida and allied genera.

Abstract.—Around Japan, spiny dogfish <em>Squalus acanthias </em>occur off the Pacific coast of Hokkaido Island and northern Honshu and off the western coast of Japan from the East China Sea to the Japan Sea. They have been caught and used historically on both coasts. This species is usually caught as bycatch except in some small-scale local fisheries which directly target it.

Regional variation in size and shape of Sphagnum hummocks of eight lowland mires throughout Hokkaido Island, northern Japan, was examined in relation to climatic factors. The size and shape of hummocks significantly differed among the regions: low and flat hummocks occurred in the northern region and next to the Sea of Japan; moderately raised and conical hummocks occurred in the western part of the Pacific coast; and extremely raised and cylindrical hummocks occurred in the eastern region. Multiple regression analysis revealed that the mean and maximum heights and height/basal area of hummocks were negatively correlated with evapotranspiration rate (E0) in summer, duration of sunshine, and air temperature. Of these, evapotranspiration rate in summer positively correlated with radiation and thermal factors. Mean height of hummocks within a mire was increased with precipitation during the growing season. Because the regional difference of the hummock form was not related to the difference in nutrient conditions, the effects of evapotranspiration and precipitation prevailed over edaphic conditions. Higher E0 in summer was considered to cause water stress for hummock species in the northern region and next to the Sea of Japan, whereas heavy rainfall relieved it in the western region of the Pacific coast. Consequently, lower and flat hummocks were a result of the higher E0 in summer, moderately raised and conical hummocks of the medium E0 and high precipitation, and extremely raised and cylindrical hummocks of a lower E0 due to prolonged foggy days.Key words: evapotranspiration, duration of sunshine, minerotrophy, ombrotrophy, precipitation.
