A New Species

A new species of pearlfish, Echiodon prionodon, is described from three specimens. This species is diagnosed by having a serrated margin on the posterior edge of the fangs, expanded thoracic plates on some abdominal vertebrae and ventral swimbladder tunic ridges. This species was only found in coastal waters around the North Island of New Zealand. The diagnosis of Eurypleuron is revised.

A new species of clingfish, Dellichthystrnskii sp. n. is described on the basis of 27 specimens, 11.9–46.0 mm SL, collected from intertidal and shallow coastal waters of New Zealand. It is distinguished from its only congener, D.morelandi Briggs, 1955 by characters of the cephalic sensory system and oral jaws, snout shape, and colouration in life. A rediagnosis is provided for D.morelandi, which is shown to exhibit sexual dimorphism in snout shape.

A New Species

A new deep-sea stalked barnacle, Ashinkailepas kermadecensis sp. nov. has been recovered from a cold-water seep at depths of 1165 metres in the vicinity of the Kermadec Ridge to the northeast of the North Island, New Zealand. There are now two species of Ashinkailepas—the other, Ashinkailepas seepiophila Yamaguchi, Newman & Hashimoto, 2004, occurs in deep, cold seeps off central Japan. As there are two species within Ashinkailepas, formal diagnoses are provided for both taxa.

Nameriophyes sapidae Xue & Zhang (Acari: Eriophyidae) was found on transplanted nikau palms, Rhopalostylis sapida (H. Wendl. & Drude) in Auckland, New Zealand and described as a new species (Xue & Zhang 2008). Although R. sapida is a native plant species, it was not known if this mite species was indigenous or adventive because it was collected only from transplanted palms in unnatural gardens in Auckland. A survey was undertaken of R. sapida and the Kermadec Island palm, Rhopalostylis baueri (Hook. f.) Wendl. & Drude in the northern part of the North Island and Chatham Island.

A New Species

A new species of the often-cryptic genus Polycheria (Crustacea; Amphipoda) was discovered living in a small specimen of the sponge, Homaxinella erecta (Brøndsted, 1924) (Demospongiae, Suberitida, Suberitidae), in Spirits Bay, on the northern tip of the North Island of New Zealand. Polycheria spongoteras sp. nov. is described using integrative techniques (morphologically, molecularly and ecologically), with discussions on the New Zealand records of the genus and related taxa. The host sponge is redescribed and placed in the Spirits Bay context. [Zooban URL: urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:FB60B77B-6B98-4102-A41F-D980B03204EB]

A New Species

Longicorn beetles of the New Zealand genus Coptomma Newman are associated with a wide range of both native and exotic tree genera and are of some economic importance in forestry and horticulture because they kill leading shoots and degrade sawn timber. In this paper, the genus is revised and its scope is redefined. The genus Navomorpha White is synonymised with Coptomma. Two species, N. textorium and N. philpotti, are synonymised with Coptomma lineatum (Fabricius). A new species, C. marrisi, is described for Coptomma. All known species are redescribed. As a result of this revision, the present number of species in Coptomma has increased to five: C.�variegatum, C. lineatum, C. sulcatum, C. sticticum and C. marrisi. A key to species is given. Terminalia of both sexes are illustrated and described. The phylogeny of species is analysed cladistically and the monophyly of the genus is confirmed. Coptomma is widely distributed on the North Island, South Island, Stewart Island and Three Kings Islands of New Zealand. Known biology is noted for each species. The distribution of each species is mapped and discussed.

A New Species

We describe a new species of the New Zealand diplodactylid gecko genus Naultinus. Molecular phylogenetics and distinctive morphological features support taxonomic separation of the populations on the northern half of Aupori Peninsula in the far north of the North Island as a new species, Naultinus flavirictus sp. nov. The specific epithet refers to the diagnostic yellow colour at the corners of the mouth. We discuss the conservation status of and threats to this novel taxon and to Te Paki, Northland—the unique area of New Zealand where it is found. We further discuss the distribution and possible function of bright mouth colour within Naultinus.

The New Zealand species of the amphipod crustacean genus Mallacoota are revised. Previous records of Mallacoota subcarinata (Haswell, 1879) from New Zealand are based on a new species, Mallacoota chiltoni sp. nov. and M. petriei (Thomson, 1882), which is re-established as valid based on a neotype. Mallocoota chiltoni apparently has a southern distribution in New Zealand, occurring only south of the Subtropical Convergence, whereas M. petriei ranges widely in both the north and south islands. A history of the genus Mallacoota in New Zealand is given.

A new species of ptyctimous mites of the genus Hoplophthiracarus (Oribatida, Phthiracaridae) is described from the litter of Mercury Islands, Middle Island in the North Island of New Zealand. Hoplophthiracarus sidorchukae sp. nov. differs from its congeners by having 16 pairs of rough and stout notogastral setae, finely punctate body surface, prodorsum without median crista and posterior furrows, interlamellar setae less than three times longer than lamellar setae, and setae h of mentum vestigial. A key to all known species of Hoplophthiracarus in New Zealand is provided.

A New Species

A new cancrid crab species Glebocarcinus kashini sp. nov. (Decapoda: Brachyura: Cancridae) is described from Russian coastal waters of the Sea of Japan. The new species can be clearly separated from relative and sibling, Glebocarcinus amphioetus (Rathbun, 1898), by a less prominent and granulated dorsal surface of the carapace and dorsal surface of the cheliped propodus, less prominent sculpture of the carapace front and bluntly triangular anterolateral teeth of the carapace. Comparison of COI gene sequences supports the subdivision of these two species and shows their clear genetic separation from a related species, the American pygmy rock crab, G. oregonensis (Dana, 1852). Along the mainland coast of the Sea of Japan, G. kashini and G. amphioetus possibly overlap only in Posyet Bay and adjacent areas; the new species is distributed to the north from the bay while G. amphioetus is distributed to the south. Previous and new records of G. amphioetus from the area are discussed.
