The Bering Sea

A new pardaliscid amphipod, Nicippe beringensis, is described from the Bering Sea at depths between 520 and 536 m, and N. tumida Bruzelius, 1859 is redescribed based on specimens from Fredrikshald, Norway, near the species’ type locality. Nucleotide sequences of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) from the holotype and a paratype of N. beringensissp. nov. are reported. While N. beringensissp. nov. is similar to N. tumida, it differs from the latter in having an asetose palp article 1 of maxilla 1, a gnathopod 1 coxa with a straight distal edge, and in the posterior margin of the basis of gnathopods 1 and 2, and pereopod 3, being heavily setose in females. A key to species of Nicippe is provided.

A New Species

A new subgenus Sinoelaphrus new subgenus of Elaphrus is described based on a new species from north China, E. angulonotus new species (type locality: Beijing, Haidian, Yangtaishan, 205m). The new species is different from other members of the genus in having a prominent lateral angle on the pronotum and one seta on each angle. Cladistic analysis of the seven genera and subgenera of Elaphrini confirms the phylogenetic status of the new subgenus.

The Bering Sea

The Bering Sea is predominantly a shallow sea, with a massive shelf mostly shallower than 100 m. Pribilof Canyon and Zhemchug Canyon, two of the largest submarine canyons in the world, were explored in August 2007, by the Greenpeace vessel “Esperanza”, with manned submersibles and a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) to depths of 1000 m. Specimens were collected with hydraulic manipulators operated by the pilots of the submersibles or with the ROV. Once on deck the specimens were transferred to ethanol. Pribilof Canyon is 426 km long and 1800 m deep, while Zhemchug Canyon is even larger and reaches depths of more than 2600 m (Normark and Carlson 2003). Here we describe a new species of Aaptos and compare it with representative congeners. The genus Aaptos was erected by Gray (1867) for Aaptos aaptos, described by Schmidt (1864) as Ancorina aaptos. Today, Aaptos is placed in Suberitidae Schmidt, 1870 and contains 21 species (Van Soest et al. 2005). For a more detailed historical review of the family and genus we refer to the publications of Kelly-Borges & Bergquist (1994) and to Van Soest (2002). According to Van Soest (2002), Aaptos is separated from other Suberitidae by its spherical or lobate growth forms, and by the presence of a strictly radial skeleton that contains characteristic strongyloxeas. The type species was described from the Mediterranean Sea (Algeria) and was then reported from many other areas of the world. These subsequent records likely represent additional undescribed species of Aaptos (Van Soest, 2002).

AbstractA large number of Japanese specimens previously identified as Archaeomysis grebnitzkii were examined and compared with specimens from the Bering Sea and Pacific coast of North America. This study demonstrates that the Japanese population of Archaeomysis grebnitzkii sensu Ii (1964) differs consistently from those of the latter locations, particularly in the shape of the telson and the male 3rd pleopod, so as to constitute a new species, described here as A. japonica n. sp. A short note is included at the end of this paper reporting some observations on the biology of the species noted during this study.

Eight species of the subgenus Chlaenioctenus of genus Chlaenius are recognized from Asia, with two new species described from China: Chlaenius (Chlaenioctenus) piligenys Liu and Liang, new species (type locality: Taiwan), and C. (C.) rotundithorax Liu and Kavanaugh, new species (type locality: Yunnan). Two species, C. (C.) freyi Jedlička, 1960 and C. (C.) pectinipes Bates, 1892 are redescribed based on type specimens.

A new species of the maerid amphipod, Elasmopus nkjaf, from Miyako Island, Ryukyu Islands, Japan, is named and described. Additionally, nucleotide sequences of nuclear 28S ribosomal RNA and histone H3 as well as mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I and 16S ribosomal RNA from its holotype and paratype were determined. Elasmopus nkjaf sp. nov. belongs to the rapax-group, and distinguished from the other rapax-group species by long setae on ventral margin of epimeral plate 3, gland cone of peduncular article 2 of antenna 2 not reaching to end of peduncular article 3, propodus of gnathopod 1 facially setose, length of propodus of male gnathopod 2 shorter than 3 times as long as length of carpus, medial face of propodus of male gnathopod 2 shallowly hollowed, posterior margin of epimeral plate 3 without denticles. A key to the species of Elasmopus species occurring Japanese and adjacent waters is provided.
