A New Species

Three species of the ophidiid genus Neobythites containing ocelli in the dorsal fin are known from the West Atlantic: Neobythites gilli Goode and Bean 1885, N. ocellatus Günther 1887 and N. monocellatus Nielsen 1999. In the year 2000, 18 specimens of Neobythites were caught on the upper continental slope off eastern Brazil. This is the first documented record of a Neobythites specimen off Brazil since the holotype of N. ocellatus was caught in 1873. Seventeen of the specimens are referable to N. ocellatus and one to N. monocellatus. Until now the distribution of N. ocellatus was considered to be from off Atlantic Florida, the Caribbean Sea and then a gap of 4500 km to the type locality off Brazil. However, the holotype and the 17 specimens differ from the more northerly recorded specimens in pattern and number of spots and ocelli on the dorsal fin. The 18 Brazilian specimens have two distinct ocelli, one near the origin of the dorsal fin and one above the midpoint of the fish, and further back occasionally a small, black spot, while the northern specimens occasionally have a small, black spot near the origin of the fin, a distinct ocellus above the midpoint and up to three ocelli further posteriorly. Consequently a new species, N. multiocellatus, is described based on 59 specimens from the Caribbean Sea to off Atlantic Florida. The record of the N. monocellatus specimen extends its distribution about 3000 km southwards. A comparison of the four ocellus-bearing species from the West Atlantic is made.

Incisor Process

A new species of sponge-associated pontoniine shrimp from the Belizean Barrier Reef in the Caribbean Sea is described and illustrated, and its systematic position is discussed. The single specimen available is incomplete, lacking the major second pereiopod. A comb-like arrangement of the cutting edges on the first pereiopod fingers is unique within the genus. A very short carpocerite and a strongly reduced incisor process on the mandible are among other features which are rare in other Periclimenaeus species.

A New Species

Isozoanthus antumbrosus, a new species of zooxanthellate zoanthid, is described. Colonies associate with the arborescent hydroid Dentitheca dendritica in the Caribbean Sea at 1–60 m. The coenenchyme, column, and oral disk are seal brown. The tentacles are golden brown and number 30–38. The coloration of the oral disk and tentacles recalls an annular solar eclipse. Polyps are 4.1–8.9 mm long and 2.2–4.3 mm in diameter. Genetic, morphological, and ecological characters differentiate this species from other hydroid-symbiotic zoanthids. Assignment to the genus Isozoanthus is based on morphology, with the acknowledgment that the currently accepted genera may not reflect evolutionary relationships.

Locus Typicus

Mooreonuphis bidentata, a new species of onuphid polychaete, is newly described from the Mexican Caribbean. It was found in dead coral rocks at depths of 2.2 m and can be distinguished from its congeners by having simple filaments branchiae from chaetigers 19–24, as well as bi- and tridentate pseudocompound falcigers and large median simple tridentate hooded hooks in the first four chaetigers. Including M. bidentata sp. nov., the genus Mooreonuphis includes 19 species, which have been exclusively collected on the American coasts, mainly in tropical and temperate waters. From the Caribbean Sea, six species have been recorded. Of these, M. bidentata sp. nov, M. cirrata, M. dangrigae and M. intermedia are the only species having their locus typicus in this tropical region. A taxonomic key is presented for all the species of Mooreonuphis recorded from both sides of the American seas.
