A new species of calanoid copepod, Centropages aegypticus sp. nov. collected from the Egyptian coasts of the northern Red Sea is described. This species is unique in having two pointed conical processes on the dorsal surface of cephalosome in both sexes, female genital compound somite with irregular-surface outline of the right swelling part and transverse dorsolateral row of spinules on the left side, 2-segmented exopod of the female leg 5, asymmetrical medial processes of the female leg 5, of which the left one is longer and medially-curved and the right one with oblique row of thick spinules, and a club-shaped medial seta on the third exopodal segment of the male leg 5. The new species is similar to C. tenuiremis, but is not assigned to the same species group as the latter species or to any other groups.

A New Species

The genus Haliophis presently consists of two species, H. guttatus (Forsskål, 1755), and a new species from Bali, Indonesia. Descriptions, diagnoses, and a key are provided for these taxa. A step cline occurs in H. guttatus, which ranges from 15° S to 30° N in the western Indian Ocean and Red Sea. Populations from 27 to 30°N differ most from those in the southern Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, but less so from those south of the equator. The step occurs between 20 and 27° N, an area from which no specimens were located, and is congruent with the distributions of at least four other taxa of fishes as well as with several populational differences in other species. This indicates that these distributional patterns may form part of a generalized track, rather than being the result of ecophenotypic effects. In the Red Sea – northern Indian Ocean region, the most common distribution of endemic fishes includes both the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. This pattern was not apparent in populations of H. guttatus.

A New Species

Species of the genus Spirobranchus, commonly known as Christmas tree worms, are abundant throughout tropical Indo-Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Information on the species inhabiting the Red Sea in general and the Gulf of Eilat (Gulf of Aqaba) in particular, has so far been very limited. Here we present a multigene phylogenetic analysis, examining both mitochondrial (Cyt-b) and nuclear (ITS2 and 18S) markers, to support the presence of four distinct Spirobranchus species in the Gulf of Eilat: S. corniculatus (including three taxa previously regarded as full species: S. gaymardi, S. cruciger, and S. corniculatus), S. cf. tetraceros, S. gardineri and a new species Spirobranchus aloni, likely endemic to the Red Sea (including two morphotypes with slightly different opercular morphology). The results presented here emphasise that the combination of molecular and in-depth morphological evaluation holds great prospects for a better understanding of species divergence and relationships.

Female Genital

A new species of calanoid copepod, Centropages uedai sp. nov., is described from the neritic waters of the northern Red Sea. This species is characterized by: (1) symmetry of a globular female genital double-somite that is ornamented with an anterior irregular group of spinules as well as transverse and dorsolateral rows of spinules on each side; (2) second exopodal segment of female leg 5 bearing a strong trough medial process serrated along the distal 4/5 of its posterior margin; (3) second exopodal segment of male right leg 5 serrated laterally along distal 1/5 of its medial process; (4) third exopodal segment of male right leg 5 with medial seta bifurcated at its tip and with hyaline ridge on both sides; and (5) second exopodal segment of male right leg 4 asymmetrical with undulating, thicker and longer lateral spine than left leg. The new species does not belong to any known species groups of the genus.

The scorpionfish Scorpaena decemradiata n. sp. is described from off the coast of Israel in the Gulf of Aqaba, northern Red Sea. The new species is similar to S. porcus Linnaeus, 1758, but is characterized by dorsal fin spines XII, soft dorsal fin rays 10 (the last divided at base); pectoral fin rays 16, uppermost branched pectoral fin ray is the second; lacrimal with 2 spines over maxilla that point at nearly right angle from each other, the posterior pointing ventrally and slightly anteriorly; occipital pit well developed; anteriormost mandibular lateral-line pores small, separated; scales ctenoid; 59-62 scale rows in longitudinal series; scales absent on chest and pectoral fin base; and cirri developed over entire head and body, but no cirri on lower jaw. An updated checklist of the species of the genus Scorpaena Linnaeus, 1758 and a key to the species of the eastern Atlantic, Mediterranean Sea and Red Sea are presented.

Widespread reports over the last six years confirm the establishment of lionfish (Pterois miles) populations in the eastern Mediterranean. Accumulated knowledge on lionfish invasions in the western Atlantic Ocean has shown that it is a successful invader and can have negative impacts on native species, indirect ecological repercussions and economic effects on local human societies. Here we analysed genetic sequences of lionfish from Cyprus as well as data from the whole distribution of the species, targeting the mtDNA markers cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (COI) and the control region (CR). Our results reflect a pattern of repeated introductions into the Mediterranean from the northern Red Sea and a secondary spread of this species west to Rhodes and Sicily. Presented results agree with previously published studies highlighting the genetic similarity with individuals from the northern Red Sea. Nevertheless, some individuals from Cyprus, in addition to those coming via the Suez Canal, were genetically similar to fish from the Indian Ocean, indicating genetic homogeneity among populations of P. miles across its current distribution, possibly facilitated by the ornamental fish trade and/or transport through ballast water.

A New Species

Shortly after my arrival in Cairo, Dr. Schweinfurth, of that city, was so kind as to conduct me to a remarkable sea-terrace at the foot of the Mokattam hill, behind the tombs of the Caliphs, and stated, on the authority of Col. Ardagb, R.E., to be at an elevation of about 200 feet above the level of the sea, and which, I believe, was first described by Oscar Fraas. At this place a cliff of hard Eocene limestone, about 30 feet in height, has been perforated by Lithodomi, whose burrows are now filled with a grey calcareous deposit, and valves of a small species of oyster are also attached to the surface of the rock. The burrows resemble those of an ordinary Mediterranean species of Lithodomus, but I did not see the shells. The oyster has been described by Fuchs as a new species, under the name O. pseudo-cucullata; but, according to Dr. Schweinfurth, it does not seem distinguishable, except as a variety, from O. cucullata, Born. (=O. Forskali, Chemn.), of the Red Sea. Since the locality was observed by Fraas, Dr. Schweinfurth has discovered other shells in the crevices of the rock, more especially a Pecten, a Terebratula, and a Balanus, all modern species. The recent character of these shells and their mode of occurrence and state of preservation, oblige us, I think, to assign them to the Pleistocene, or at farthest the later Pliocene period, though I am aware that they have been regarded as Miocene.
