A New Species

A new species of Polyplacophora (Mollusca) has been found in the Salice outcrop, in the Peloritain Mountains (Sicily, Italy), is attributed to the early Pleistocene. Lepidopleurus (Leptochiton) salicensis n.sp. is characterized by its uniformly sculptured tegmentum, with (well) raised, randomly distributed, neatly separated rounded/polygonal granules. The new species is compared with Lepidopleurus (Leptochiton) alveolus (M.Sars MS, Lovén, 1846), from the North Atlantic, and Lepidopleurus (Leptochiton) tavianii Dell’Angelo, Landau & Marquet, 2004, from the Pliocene of Estepona (Málaga, Spain).

The first species ofLamellisabella to be described from the Atlantic Ocean has rows of small teeth on the tentacles. It occurs at about 4000 m depth in the Bay of Biscay, and its range probably extends along the continental rise at least as far south as the Gulf of Guinea.

A New Species

A new species of Ophlitaspongia (Porifera: Microcionidae) from wave-exposed sublittoral rock in the north-east Atlantic is described and compared to the two other species recorded from the genus in the north-east Atlantic. The species known as Ophlitaspongia seriata is considered to be a junior synonym of Halichondria panicea. Consequently, the name O. papilla has been reinstated. The other recorded species O. basifixa, is from deep water. Ophlitaspongia basifixa has characters which differentiate it from Ophlitaspongia sp. nov. The genus Ophlitaspongia has been separated from related genera and reinstated for species in the North Atlantic.

A new species of Geodia is described from the North Pacific, collected in the summer of 2012 in the western Aleutian Islands. Geodia starki sp. nov. differs from all known species of Geodia by the possession of two categories of sterrasters and exceptionally large megascleres. The new species is compared with congeners of the North Pacific Ocean, Bering Sea, Arctic and the North Atlantic Oceans.

A New Species

Collections of bottom-living animals from the continental slope of the northern Bay of Biscay contain a new species of Oligobrachia; this increases the number of species of Oligobrachia known from the North Atlantic to five. Oligobrachiids are quite frequently found incubating embryos and five individuals of the new species carry embryos. Oligobrachia embryos have been studied morphologically already (Ivanov, 1957, 1975; Southward & Southward, 1963; Brattegard, 1966; Ivanov & Gureeva, 1976) and should prove useful material for experimental studies in future. Incubation is also known in the family Siboglinidae, but neither embryos nor larvae have been seen in any other pogonophoran families. The Biscay collections also contain additional specimens of Oligobrachia ivanovi and these have been useful in revising the description of this rather rare species.
