Relevant Role

Brazilian continental shelf is rich in rhodolith beds and it has a relevant role as a critical ecosystem for conservation. However, we do not know the taxonomy of the rhodolith forming species and because of that we analysed samples from the REVIZEE project in which morpho-anatomical analysis was used to identify Lithophylloideae and Mastophoroideae species. We found Titanoderma pustulatum; Lithophyllum stictaeforme; Lithophyllum corallinae, Hydrolithon breviclavium, Hydrolithon onkodes and Spongites fruticulosus. This is the first detailed description of T. pustulatum from Brazil and S. fruticulosus from the Atlantic Ocean, the first record of H. breviclavium in the Atlantic Ocean and of H. onkodes in Brazilian water. L. corallinae was found 250 m deep—that is a new Coralline algae depth record for Brazilian waters. This study contributes to the understanding of the diversity in Brazilian continental shelf and indicates the importance of future systematic studies. This knowledge is relevant to guide conservation programs and evaluation of impacts.

The Family

Mexicope sushara sp. nov. is recorded from southeastern New Zealand coastal waters, the first record of the genus from the Pacific and the first record of the Acanthaspidiidae from New Zealand. The species is from the continental shelf, taken in association with a bryozoan colony at a depth of 80 metres on the Otago Shelf, southeastern South Island. The distinguishing characters are a rostral spine and prominent and acute pre-ocular lobes; these characters in conjunction with stalked eyes separate the species from all others in the family.

The genus Pisinna Monterosato, 1878 (Anabathridae Ponder, 1988) is reported from the Brazilian coast for the first time. Pisinna bicincta n. sp. is found off Esp rito Santo State (65 67 m depth) on the Brazilian continental shelf. It is diagnosed by its pupiform shell, with subsutural depression, two spiral bands (one white and one orange), dome-shaped paucispiral protoconch sculptured with about 17 spiral rows of minute flat pits, teleoconch with about 22 oblique axial cordlets, and aperture with columellar tooth.

Collections made during the REVIZEE program along the continental shelf, oceanic banks of the Archipelago of Fernando de Noronha and the North Chain Banks of Brazil, revealed a number of tanaidaceans species belonging to the genus Apseudes (Apseudidae). Two new species, Apseudes noronhensis and A. aisoe, are described here as is the first record of the genus Apseudes in Brazilian waters. Several diagnostic characters attributed to Muramurina were found during this study to be inconsistent and Muramurina is here suggested as being a junior synonym of Apseudes.

A New Species

The capitellid genus Leiocapitella is characterized by the possession of anterior 12–16 chaetigers exclusively with capillaries and the following 1–2 transitional chaetigers with notopodial capillaries and neuropodial hooded hooks. A new species was obtained from the continental shelf of the East China Sea, and is identified herein as Leiocapitella fujianensis. The new species differs from the other four described species by the number and location of transitional chaetigers, the dentition of abdominal hooks, and the methyl green stain on thorax. A key to all Leiocapitella species is provided in this paper.
