A new genus, Portaratrum n. gen. and two new species, one from the Atlantic Ocean and one from the Pacific Ocean are described. The new genus is characterized by a downwardly directed pleonal spur, cheliped basis fused to the cephalothorax, biramous uropods, pars molaris blunt with several terminal spinules. At present the genus is assigned to the family Colletteidae. Both species were collected from depths exceeding 4000 m.

Three New Species

Spinosphaera is a Terebellinae genus with three species described from the Pacific Ocean, S. pacifica from Japan, S. oculata from California, and the doubtful S. cowarrie from Western Australia. The genus is presently unknown in the Grand Caribbean region. Spinosphaera is characterized by the absence of branchiae, by the great number of notopodia, and the presence of a special type of notochaetae, called ‘Spinosphaera-chaeta’. These chaetae have three different regions: distal denticulate blade, neck separating the former from a middle swollen spinous region, and a proximal smooth or bilimbate region; two sizes are present. The genus is redefined, with redescription of all species currently known. Three new species are described here, two from the Mexican Caribbean coast, S. hutchingsae and S. carrerai, and one from California, S. harrisae. A taxonomic key to identify all species is given. Hutchingsiella gen. nov. is proposed for S. cowarrie; it differs from Spinosphaera in having notochaeta from segment 5 and neurochaetae from segment 6, and for lacking Spinosphaera chaeta.

Two new species of deep sea asellotes of the family Munnopsidae, Rectisura slavai sp. nov. and Storthyngura yuzhmorgeo sp. nov. are described from the manganese nodules area in the Clarion-Clipperton Fracture Zone of the Pacific Ocean. The discovery of these new species allowed re-examination of the taxonomic position of two similar species, Storthyngura ? intermedia (Beddard, 1885) from the Northeastern Basin of the Pacific Ocean and Ilyarachna defecta Menzies & George, 1972 from the Peru-Chile Trench, eastern Pacific Ocean. The species are moved to the genera Rectisura Malyutina, 2003 and Storthyngura Vanhöffen, 1914, respectively. Additional composition and distribution of the species of the genera are presented.

The eel fauna (orders Anguilliformes and Saccopharyngiformes) of Taiwan is increased to 14 families, 79 genera and 232 species. Previous studies (Ho et al., 2015b, c) showed Taiwan had the highest diversity of eels in the world: this is further supported in the present updated work. Elsewhere in this volume, 16 species are newly described and 13 species are newly added to the Taiwanese ichthyofauna, mainly in the families Congridae and Synaphobranchidae. In addition, one new genus and four new species are described from adjacent waters in the Pacific Ocean. A total of 58 new species of the two eel orders are described from Taiwan; 52 of them are valid, and 37 are only found in Taiwan. Four names previously recorded in Taiwan are described as new in present special issue and are removed from the fauna of Taiwan accordingly. This work provides a foundation for the study of eel diversity in Taiwan.

In 2008 two new species belonging to the genus Fryxelliella were described: F. sepulvedana and F. pacifica. They were based on material collected in the Pacific Ocean and were both different from Fryxelliella floridana, the type species of the genus. Examination of holotype and additional material for F. sepulvedana and F. pacifica was carried out. Comparisons confirmed that F. sepulvedana and F. pacifica are both the same species. Only one valid name can be assigned to any taxon and reasons are given to demonstrate that the valid name should be Fryxelliella sepulvedana.
