A New Species

A new species of eurysquilloid stomatopod,Eurysquilla petronioisp. nov., is described from the tropical western Atlantic.Eurysquilla petronioisp. nov. is the fourteenth species of the genus to be recognized worldwide, the fifth species from the western Atlantic and the second from Brazilian waters. It is most closely related toE. maiaguesensisfrom Puerto Rico, but differs chiefly in having an unarmed versus apically spinous rostral plate and 6 or 7 rather than 8–10 teeth on dactylus of raptorial claw. A key to the species of the genus is provided.

Bougainvillia aberrans n.sp. is described from Bermuda in the western North Atlantic Ocean. Specimens were collected at a depth of 150 fathoms (274 m) from the polypropylene buoy line of a crab trap. The hydroid colony of B. aberrans is erect, with a polysiphonic hydrocaulus, a smooth to somewhat wrinkled perisarc, hydranths having a maximum of about 16 tentacles, and medusa buds arising only from hydranth pedicels. Medusae liberated in the laboratory from these hydroids differ from all other known species of the genus in having a long, spindle-shaped manubrium, lacking oral tentacles, having marginal tentacles reduced to mere stubs, and being very short-lived (surviving for a few hours at most). Gonads develop in medusa buds while they are still attached to the hydroids, and gametes are shed either prior to liberation of the medusae or shortly thereafter. The eggs are surrounded by an envelope bearing nematocysts (heterotrichous microbasic euryteles). The cnidome of both hydroid and medusa stages consists of desmonemes and heterotrichous microbasic euryteles. The diagnosis of the genus Bougainvillia is modified to accommodate this new deep-water species.
