A New Species

Eusyllis Malmgren, 1867 (Annelida, Syllidae) is revised, with 7 species considered as valid (Eusyllis assimilis Marenzeller, 1875; Eusyllis blomstrandi Malmgren, 1867; Eusyllis kupfferi Langerhans, 1879; Eusyllis lamelligera Marion & Bobretzky, 1875; Eusyllis longicirrata Imajima, 1966; Eusyllis maxima (Monro, 1930); and Eusyllis nuchalata Hartmann-Schröder, 1965) plus a newly described species (Eusyllis grandmarie n. sp.) the only species of the genus recorded from a whale carcass, lying at more than 600 m deep in the eastern Pacific Ocean off the California coast. The new species is characterized by elongated compound chaetae, with blades almost unidentate, and a thin, spine-like proximal tooth. It differs from Eusyllis longicirrata Imajima, 1966, from Japan, in having shorter dorsal cirri and blades of compound chaetae. Additionally, Eusyllis nuchalata Hartmann-Schröder, 1965 is re-described. A key to the species of the genus is included.

A New Species

The new Hexactinellid sponge Chaunoplectella megapora sp. nov. reported in this study was collected from the COMRA contract area, the western part of Clarion-Clipperton Fracture Zone (CCFZ) in the eastern Pacific Ocean at a depth of 5258 m. This sponge’s extraordinary multiporous body with the presence of unique codonhexasters, sigmatocomes, toothed discohexasters and hemidiscohexasters, as well as stellate disocohexasters, characterizes it as a new species in the genus Chaunoplectella. This report presents the first record of family Leucopsacidae at this site in the eastern Pacific Ocean.
