A New Species

Eighteen species of Orbiniidae, 15 new to science, are reported from deep-sea habitats in the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea. The collection includes specimens from continental slope and abyssal soft sediments as well as hydrothermal vent and methane seep sites. New collections of Califia calida Hartman, 1957, Naineris uncinata Hartman, 1957, and Phylo nudus (Moore, 1911) allow redescription and new distributional records of these species to be documented. Five species of Leitoscoloplos: L., cliffordi n. sp., L. gordaensis n sp., L. lunulus n. sp., L. sahlingi n. sp., and L. williamsae n. sp. are described together with a new species of Berkeleyia, B. lelievre n. sp., two new species of Scoloplos: S. californiensis n. sp. and S. sparsaciculus n. sp., and a new species of Leodamas, L. bathyalis n. sp. In addition, six new species of Orbiniella are described: O. abyssalis n. sp., O. eugeneruffi n. sp., O. grasslei n. sp., O. longilobata n. sp., O. rugosa n. sp., and O. tumida n. sp.

A New Species

A new species, Michaelcallianassa sinica, from the Beibu Gulf (Tonkin Gulf), northern South China Sea, is described and illustrated. The new species is readily distinguished from M. indica Sakai, 2002, the type species of the genus, by its short uropodal endopod and exopod, and elongated carpus of the minor cheliped.

New Fish Species

A new fish species from the South China Sea, Pegasus nanhaiensis sp. nov., is described herein. The new species is readily distinguished from all other species of the genus Pegasus with the following characteristics: A rounded hump-like tubercle on each of dorsal plates I, II, and III. Noticeable hexagonal patterns on the dorsal carapace with a clear boundary, and two paired caudolateral plates overlapping the junctions between tail rings II and III, and between tail rings IV and V. The integrated evidence from both morphological and genetic studies indicates that P. nanhaiensis represents an independent lineage within the genus Pegasus.
