A New Species

A new tanaidacean family Julmarichardiidae is designated to receive the Indo-Pacific genus Julmarichardia Guţu. The new family is characterized by having a prominent rostrum, a strongly developed coxal process of pereopod-1 with plumose setae and sometimes spines, and the presence of mucus glands and packets throughout its body. The latter appear to be involved in the construction of a mucus domicile. Based on distinctive antennal and pereopodal characters, the South China Sea species, J. bajau Bamber & Sheader, is placed in a new monotypic genus. A second Australian species is described from specimens collected on the northwestern continental shelf from depths of 37 to 83 m. The new species can be distinguished from its sympatric congener J. gutui Ritger & Heard by a variety of characters, including the lack of setulose setae on the rostral margin and the posterior margin of pereopod-1 having three or fewer setulate setae. It differs from J. alinati Guţu, by the shape and/or spination of the rostrum, antennule, and antenna. Julmarichardia dollfusi (Guţu) is removed from Julmarichardia and designated as Metapseudidae incertae sedis. A key to the six species comprising the genus Julmarichardia is presented.

A New Species

Abstract Eucalliaxiopsis liui sp. nov. is described from a specimen taken from the South China Sea. The new species differs from other species of Eucalliaxiopsis in the combination of a telson with a transverse posterior margin, without a transverse row of spiniform setae, and a hook on the upper margin of the carpus of the cheliped. Eucalliaxiopsis liui is unique in having a biramous female pleopod 2, its endopod slender, with finger-like appendix interna, and a slender segmented exopod.

A new species of portunid crab from the genus Cycloachelous Ward, 1942 is described from Vietnamese waters. Cycloachelous levigatus sp. nov. is morphologically most similar to C. orbitosinus (Rathbun, 1911), which was originally described from the syntype series collected from Western Pacific area (Cargados Carajos Islands, Amirante Islands, Seychelles) and C. octodentatus (Gordon, 1938) described from one single male from Singapore. There are differences in the sternal segments, third maxilliped, chela, abdomen and male gonopode shapes. The specific status of C. levigatus sp. nov. is also clearly supported by molecular data. Aside from a comparison of this new species with other known congeners, new photographs of syntypes of C. orbitosinus and the holotype of C. octodentatus are also provided.

A New Species

Abstract A new species of the copepod genus Stygiopontius is described based on samples from a cold seep in northeastern South China Sea southwest to Taiwan, which were collected by the ROV Faxian with its mother vessel R/V Kexue in September 2017. The copepods were obtained by washing Shinkaia crosnieri Baba & Williams, 1998 (Decapoda: Munidopsidae) caught at a depth of 1124 m. The new species can be distinguished from its congeners by the combination of the following characteristics: caudal rami about 3.5 times as long as wide; basis of maxilliped with plumose seta, endopodal claw of maxilliped stout, with a row of fine spinules on inner margin; coxa of leg 1 with one inner seta; basis of leg 1 with stout spine exceeding to end of first endopodal segment; second endopodal segment of female leg 4 with pointed process; third exopodal segment of leg 4 with three outer spines. This is the first record of a Stygiopontius species from a cold seep.

Grateloupia tenuisWang et Luan sp. nov. is a new species described from Lingshui, Hainan Province, South China Sea. Based on the external form and internal structure, combined withrbcL gene sequence analysis,Grateloupia tenuisis distinct from otherGrateloupiaspecies as follows: (1) thalli is slippery and cartilaginous in texture; possess fewer branches, relatively slight main axes, and two or three dichotomous branches; (2) cortex is 5-6 layers; medulla is solid when young, but hollow in old branches; reproductive structures are dispersed in main axes of thalli and lower portions of branchlets; exhibitsGrateloupia-type auxiliary cell ampullae; (3) the four studiedG. tenuissequences were positioned in a largeGrateloupiaclade of Halymeniaceae, which included sister group generitypeG. filicinawith 68 bp differences;G. tenuiswas determined to be a sister taxon to theG. catenata,G. ramosissima,G. orientalis, andG. filiformissubclade. The pairwise distances betweenG. tenuisand these species were 39 to 50 bp. The sequences ofG. tenuisdiffered by 81–108 bp from the sequences of other samples inGrateloupia; there are 114–133 bp changes betweenG. tenuisand other genera of Halymeniaceae. In final analysis, we consideredGrateloupia tenuisWang et Luan sp. nov. to be a new species of genusGrateloupia.

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.
