A New Species

Three rare and little known species of the genus Neptunea Röding, 1798 from continental slope of the eastern Bering Sea are discussed. The rediscovery of the enigmatic Neptunea insularis (Dall, 1895), a range extension for Neptunea alabaster Alexeyev & Fraussen, 2005, and a new species, unique amongst Neptunea in having five cusps on the lateral teeth, of the radula, opposed to three found in nearly all other Neptunea. The three species are described herein and their distributions defined.

A New Species

A new species of Otukaia from the eastern Bering Sea is described from Alaska and is the first member of the genus to be found in the Northeastern Pacific. This species shares many traits with Otukaia kiheizebisu (Otuka,1939) from Japan, which is the type for the genus, but exhibits numerous distinctive characteristics.

A new species of eelpout, Bothrocara nyx, is described from the eastern Bering Sea slope on the basis of 142 specimens collected during bottom trawl surveys conducted from 2000 through 2004.  This species has a small maximum size, a short snout, a relatively low number of small vomerine and palatine teeth, a high number of gill rakers, and a heavily pigmented mouth and gill chamber.  It is similar to B. pusillum, but differs in the number of gill rakers, and in the morphology of gill rakers and pectoral fins.  It can be distinguished from all other congeners on the basis of morphometric and meristic characters.

A New Species

Riccia is the largest genus of complex thalloid liverworts (Marchantiopsida) with over 250 species currently accepted. Our recent investigation of Chinese liverworts found two interesting Riccia species, R. junghuhniana and Riccia subcrinita sp. nov. Riccia junghuhniana is currently known from Australia and Indonesia, while Riccia subcrinita is known only from China. Riccia subcrinita is similar to R. crinita, but differs in having smaller spores (56–71 µm in diameter), and spore distal surface and proximal surface alveoli without thick borders. The sequences of rbcL, rps4, and trnL-F, detailed descriptions, and illustrations of the Chinese specimens are provided. The range extension of R. junghuhniana suggests that more taxa of Riccia may have a wider distribution. The discovery of R. junghuhniana and the new species also suggests that a more intensive survey of Riccia diversity in China is necessary.

A New Species

A new species of Synelmis (Annelida: Polychaeta: Pilargidae), Synelmis urgorrii sp. nov., is described from the continental slope off north-western Spain. The new species is characterized by having antennae, peristomial cirri and parapodial cirri cirriform, lateral antennae located in the proximal third of the prostomium, notospines starting on chaetigers 7–11, well-developed neuropodial lobe and asymmetrical furcate chaetae, those of anterior chaetigers distinctly spinulated.

A New Species

A new species of jawfish, Opistognathus albicaudatus, is described based on two specimens, 91.4–94.8 mm SL, from the Andaman Islands. The combination of an elongate upper jaw produced as thin flexible lamina, and a unique colour pattern consisting of an abruptly white caudal fin and gill arches with a series of 8–10 small dark spots, each near the base of a gill raker, distinguishes the new species from other congeners. Based on morphological similarity and general color pattern, the new species seems to be most closely related to Opistognathus variabilis.These two species appear to have allopatric distributions. A range extension for O. cyanospilotus is also reported.

Lycodapus leptus n.sp., L. poecilus n.sp., and L. psarostomatus n.sp. are described from the eastern Bering Sea. A new key to all known species of Lycodapus is presented. In addition, L. fierasfer Gilbert, L. parviceps Gilbert, and L. derjugini Andriashev are recognized from the Bering Sea and L. microdon Schmidt is recognized from the Sea of Okhotsk. The northern range limit of Lycodapus dermatinus Gilbert is established from a sea mount off southeastern Alaska. A specimen of Lycodapus that cannot be identified to species represents the most southern record for the genus in Asiatic waters.
