We describe a new bathyal species of scaphopod belonging to the genus Striocadulus Emerson based on conchological and radular characters. The specimens were collected at a depth of 404-412 m off Bocas de Ceniza (Colombian Caribbean). Striocadulus magdalenensis new species can be distinguished from its other congeners by differences in its apical section, and both number and extent of longitudinal striae. This is the rst record of this genus in the Atlantic Ocean.

Exploration of the New England and Corner Rise Seamounts produced four new species of chrysogorgiid octocorals with the spiral iridogorgiid growth form. Three species are described as new in the genus Iridogorgia and one is described in the new genus Rhodaniridogorgia. Both genera have representatives in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Iridogorgia magnispiralis sp. nov., is one of the largest octocorals encountered in the deep sea and seems to be widespread in the Atlantic.

As part of the sampling efforts during the DIVA-II expedition several Tanaidacea of the genus Neotanais were captured in the Guinea and the Cape Basin in the tropical and southern East Atlantic Ocean. Two different species were sampled, Neotanais rotermundiae sp. n. from the Guinea and Neotanais guskei sp. n. from the Cape Basin. The distribution of both species is limited to these basins. A full description for both species is presented. Neotanais guskei sp. n. is the largest Neotanais reported for the South Atlantic Ocean.

Regabellator abyssi n. sp., Saetoniscus meteori n. sp. et gen. n., Rapaniscus multisetosus n. sp. and Nannoniscus antennaspinis n. sp. are described from the Atlantic deep sea of the Angola Basin, Namibia. Sixty seven species of Nannoniscidae have been described. Forty two species including the 4 described here are known from the Atlantic Ocean. A checklist of Atlantic Nannoniscidae is provided.

A New Species

Five species of Caprellidea (Amphipoda) occur on a benthic transect between Gay Head, Massachusetts and Bermuda. Three species, Caprella rinki Stephensen, Mayerella limicola Huntsman, and Proaeginina norvegica (Stephensen) are refigured and redescribed. A new species of Thorina and a new genus and species are described from bathyal and abyssal depths. All five species are arctic–boreal in affinities and may be expected to range south only to Cape Hatteras on the continental slope, but much farther south at abyssal depths.

AbstractSeven species of Erythropini from the northeast Atlantic and one from the northwest Atlantic are dealt with. Four are described as new species, and three are new to science but remain unnamed because of mutilated condition. A known species Katerythrops oceanae, is described for the first time for the male pleopods and a revision of the diagnosis of the genus is presented. Five are pelagic species while three were obtained from the stomach contents of demersal fishes. Huit especes d'Erythropini de l'Atlantique sont traitees, dont sept du nord-est et une du nordouest de cet ocean. Quatre sont decrites comme nouvelles et trois sont nouvelle pour la science, mais non nommees en raison de leur condition mutilee. Les pleopodes males d'un espece connue, Katerythrops oceanae, sont decrits pour la premiere fois et la diagnose du genre est revisee. Cinq especes sont pelagiques et trois proviennent de contenus stomacaux de poissons demersaux.

A new myriotrochid holothurian, Myriotrochus (Oligotrochus) meteorensis spec. nov., has been discovered in a deep-sea sample taken during an expedition with FS 'Meteor' (M 36) off north-west Africa, together with specimens of Molpadia musculus Risso, 1826, Hedingia albicans (Théel, 1886) and Protankyra cf. brychia (Verrill, 1885). The new species is similar to M. (O.) vitreus (M. Sars, 1866) and M. (O.) clarki Gage and Billett, 1986; it is thoroughly described and detailed measurements of wheel parameters are presented. This is the first record of a myriotrochid holothurian for the NE Atlantic Ocean south of 40°N.
