Psammopauropus macrospinus gen. et sp. n., a remarkable new genus and species of the pauropod family Hansenauropodidae is described from the marine littoral habitat of Hainan Island, South China. It has one pair of dorsal spines on the pygidium differentiated from seta a1, large globular seta st on pygidium, and globular distal setae on the tarsi by which Psammopauropus can be easily distinguished from all other genera of the family. In addition, the adaptive characters of the littoral pauropods are preliminary discussed. This is the first record of the family Hansenauropodidae from China.

The Family

Eriopisidae is a widespread amphipod family, whose members have subcylindrical bodies, often do not have eyes, showing elongate third uropods in which the endopod is reduced and the exopod can become very long. This is the first record of Eriopisidae from Central America. Here, we describe the new genus and species Panamapisa guaymii gen. nov., sp. nov. from Bocas del Toro, Panama. The taxon differs from other members of the family in having a greatly enlarged merus on gnathopod 1, marginal setae on the dactyls of pereopod 5 to 7 and a third uropod nearly as long as the body.

The dedicated collecting of Robert Knezour of Ipswich continues to uncover remarkable finds in the Late Triassic (Norian) Dinmore fossil insect locality of south-east Queensland. The latest discovery is a forewing of the extinct family Archipsyllidae, described herein as Dinmopsylla semota gen. et sp. nov., the first record of the family from the Triassic and from the southern hemisphere.

Low Diversity

A new anostracan genus with two new species in the family Branchipodidae is described from the Murray Darling basin, Australia. This is the first record of the family from Australia. Males of Australobranchipus typically have long and elaborate frontal appendages comparable to those in the branchipodid genera Branchipus and Pumilibranchipus. Females have a compact brood pouch like other branchipodid genera. Two new species in this genus are described (A. parooensis and A. gilgaiphila). Along with recent additions in Branchinella and Parartemia, and confirmation of the presence of Streptocephalus, these new findings change the concept of low diversity among higher anostracan taxa in Australia. Australobranchipus is also remarkable for having the shortest known life cycle of any Australian anostracans. In the type locality, which typically holds water for only two to six weeks in occasional years, and when cultured, it matures within a week and dies within two weeks, allowing these species to avoid competition with other anostracans.

Abyssal Zone

A new genus and species Neobrychiopontius galeronae gen. nov. sp. nov. is described based on female specimens from the Pacific nodule province associated with the abyssal holothurian Oneirophanta cfr. setigera (Ludwig, 1894) (Elasipodida, Deimatidae). The holothurian and copepods were collected at a depth of 4978 m during the cruise “Nodinaut” (Ifremer, 17 May – 28 June 2004) on RV Atalante using a spade corer operated from the submersible Nautile. The new genus has retained a greater number of plesiomorphic characters, when compared to its closest relative the monotypic genus Brychiopontius Humes, 1974 from the abyssal zone of the North Atlantic: proximal 3 segments of antennule articulates (fused in Brychiopontius), well developed mandibular palp and inner lobe of maxilla (both absent in Brychiopontius). On the other hand the new genus has only 2 outer spines on the third exopodal segment of leg 1 (instead of 3 in Brychiopontius). Two plesiomorphic characters hitherto unknown for the order Siphonostomatoida are present in the new genus viz. the inner lobe of the first segment of the maxilla is armed with 2 setae and the first segment of the mandibular palp is armed with 1 seta. Neobrychiopontius galeronae gen. et sp. nov. is the second species of Siphonostomatoida found in association with abyssal holothurians (both belonging to the genus Oneirophanta) and represents the first record of the family Brychiopontiidae in the Pacific Ocean.
