Xenuraega bythionekta sp. nov., is described from a single specimen taken off southern Japan. It is the second species of Xenuraega Tattersall, 1909, and extends the known range of the genus from North Atlantic to the northern Pacific Ocean. The species is characterized by the posteriorly narrowed pleotelson, and both uropodal rami being elongate and provided with a mass of long plumose setae. Xenuraega bythionekta sp. nov. is known only from the type locality, Kagoshima Prefecture, southern Japan at a depth of 1178–1179 m.

A New Species

A new species, Gastrodia kuroshimensis (Orchidaceae: Epidendroideae: Gastrodieae), from Kuroshima Island, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan, is described and illustrated. The outlined floral morphology indicates a close affinity to G. fontinalis, but it is easily distinguished by several characteristics, such as the cleistogamous floral condition, smaller perianth tube size and the anther cap joined with the column.

A New Species

A new species, Gastrodia flexistyloides (Orchidaceae: Epidendroideae, Gastrodieae) from Takeshima Island, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan, is described and illustrated. In its trilobed column with a strongly incurved central lobe, this species shows a close affinity to G. flexistyla from Taiwan, but it is easily distinguished from G. flexistyla by several characteristics, including taller stature during the flowering period and completely cleistogamous flowers with a smaller and narrower perianth tube.

A New Species

Smilax Linnaeus (1753: 1028) is the only genus of Smilacaceae, comprising ca. 210 species, which are lianas, shrubs, and herbs (Cameron & Fu, 2006; Qi et al. 2013a). The genus shows a near-cosmopolitan distribution (Qi et al. 2013a). In the large genus, Smilax sect. Heterosmilax (Kunth 1850: 270) Judd (1998: 158), formerly treated as an independent genus Heterosmilax Kunth in Smilacaceae, has 12 species and is distributed only in Asian and Malesian regions (Judd 1998, Qi et al. 2013b). All species of the section have slender stem without pricks, cordate leaves, and tendrils in bronze color. Especially, flowers with connate perigone are one of the most important characteristics to distinguish the section from the other sections (Koyama 1984, Qi et al. 2013a).

A New Species

This study reports on two species of the hippolytid shrimp genus Eualus Thallwitz, 1892 from Japan. The first, Eualusctenomerus n. sp., is described on the basis of six specimens from off southern Kyushu. The new species appears closestto E. cteniferus (Barnard, 1950) from South Africa, E. drachi Noël, 1978 from the Mediterranean, E. lebourae Holthuis,1951 from the eastern Atlantic, and E. pectiniformis Hanamura, 2008 from southeastern Australia. The second is referredto E. kikuchii Miyake & Hayashi, 1967, which has been considered to be synonymous with E. bulychevae Kobjakova,1955, described from the South Kuril Islands, Far East Russia. Eualus kikuchii is redescribed as a valid species on thebasis of the holotype and additional specimens from various Japanese localities. Both species occurred in the whale-fall ecosystems located off Cape Nomamisaki, Kyushu, Kagoshima Prefecture.
