Two new species of Notodasus Fauchald, 1972 (Annelida: Capitellidae) from the Central Indo-Pacific region

Notodasus Fauchald, 1972 is a small genus of the polychaete family Capitellidae, including 10 described species worldwide. The genus is unusual in the Central Indo-Pacific, and there is no taxonomic record of Notodasus in this region. In this study, two new species of Notodasus are described and illustrated, namely Notodasus celebensis sp. nov. and N. chinensis sp. nov. The former species, collected from the mixed-species seagrass beds in the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, is mainly characterized by the longitudinally striated epithelium on thoracic segments and the completely separated notopodial lobes. The latter species, obtained from coastal waters off southern China, differs from its congeners with the following characters: tessellated epithelium present on anterior thorax as well as on the dorsum of chaetigers 11 and 12, notopodial lobes fused and chaetal fascicles almost touching each other on anterior abdomen, and branchial pores evident from anterior abdomen. Comparisons are made with closely related species in this paper, and a revised key is provided to all described Notodasus species. The descriptions of the two new species represent the first record of Notodasus in this region and expand the geographical distribution of the genus.

Two new species of amphipod genus Stenothoe Dana, 1852 (Crustacea, Amphipoda, Stenothoidae) are described from hydroids collected in fouling communities of floating aquaculture platforms in Nhatrang Bay (Vietnam) representing the first record of the genus from coastal waters of Vietnam. The new species can be clearly separated from congeners by the structure of the mandible, maxilla II, the shape of gnathopod II, the armature of uropod III and the telson. The discussion is presented in the paper.

Small Genus

Brachyzapus Gauld & Dubois, 2006 is a small genus belonging to the Polysphincta genus-group of the subfamily Pimplinae, with nine known species worldwide (Uchida & Momoi, 1958; Yu et al., 2012; Pham et al., 2012). The genus can be recognized by twisted mandibles, a very weakly convex and rather long clypeus with quite well-defined angulation laterally, elongate lower face, sparse pubescence on the eyes, hind coxal cavities separated from the metasoma insertion by a very strong sclerotized bridge, and the lack of a basal lobe on the ovipositor (Gauld & Dubois, 2006).

Rdna Its Sequences

Two new wood-decaying polypores from southern China, Grammothele separabillima and Theleporus rimosus, are described and illustrated using morphological characteristics and rDNA ITS sequences. Grammothele separabillima is characterized by its easily separable basidiocarps, poroid hymenophore with hymenium restricted to the base of the tubes, a dimitic hyphal system, pale brown skeletal hyphae with dextrinoid reaction, presence of dendrohyphidia, and oblong ellipsoid basidiospores. Theleporus rimosus is characterized by its resupinate, cracked basidiocarps, shallow poroid hymenophore with hymenium restricted to the base of the tubes, a di-trimitic hyphal system with dendroid and non-dextrinoid skeletal hyphae, presence of dendrohyphidia and ellipsoid to fusiform basidiospores. The discriminating characters of these two new species and the closely related species are discussed.

The genus Aplidium comprises a large number of species, seldom reported from Brazil. Here we describe some species inthis genus, collected between 1999 and 2012, in coastal waters of the states of Bahia and Espírito Santo, in eastern centralBrazil. Natural and artificial substrates were sampled by scuba diving at 5 to 23 m depths. Four species comprise the 16samples. We propose synonymy of the species A. lobatum Savigny, 1816 and A. quinquesulcatum Millar, 1977, both pre-viously known from Brazil. The other species are A. antillense (first record for the Brazilian coast), and two new species, A. elongatum n. sp. and A. selenium n. sp.

In May–June 2017 an expedition on board RV ‘Investigator’ sampled benthic communities along the lower slope and abyss of eastern Australia from off Tasmania to the Coral Sea. Over 200 sabellariid specimens of the genera Phalacrostemma and Gesaia were collected during the voyage and deposited in the Australian Museum. Here we describe two new species Gesaia csiro n. sp. (4414–4436 m) and Phalacrostemma timoharai n. sp. (1013–1093 m). We did not formally describe another species of Phalacrostemma due to poor condition of the single specimen. Gesaia csiro n. sp. is the first record of the genus from Australian waters (only a planktonic larva attributed to the genus has previously been recorded), and it can be distinguished from other congeners by the smooth surface of inner paleae, distal thecae of outer paleae with long, irregular and expanded distal fringe and circled distal margin. Phalacrostemma timoharai n. sp. differs from congeners by the following combination of characters: presence of the buccal flap, absence of tentacular filament, 18–22 pairs of outer paleae, two pairs of neuropodial cirri on first thoracic segment, and only one pair of lateral lobes on second thoracic segment. Morphological descriptions are accompanied by mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (COI) and ribosomal (16S, 18S and 28S) sequence data. A key to all Australian species of sabellariids is given.
