Annotated Checklist of New Zealand Decapoda (Arthropoda: Crustacea) Tuhinga 22: 171–272 Copyright © Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa (2011) Annotated checklist of New Zealand Decapoda (Arthropoda: Crustacea) John C. Yaldwyn† and W. Richard Webber* † Research Associate, Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa. Deceased October 2005 * Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, PO Box 467, Wellington, New Zealand ([email protected]) (Manuscript completed for publication by second author) ABSTRACT: A checklist of the Recent Decapoda (shrimps, prawns, lobsters, crayfish and crabs) of the New Zealand region is given. It includes 488 named species in 90 families, with 153 (31%) of the species considered endemic. References to New Zealand records and other significant references are given for all species previously recorded from New Zealand. The location of New Zealand material is given for a number of species first recorded in the New Zealand Inventory of Biodiversity but with no further data. Information on geographical distribution, habitat range and, in some cases, depth range and colour are given for each species. KEYWORDS: Decapoda, New Zealand, checklist, annotated checklist, shrimp, prawn, lobster, crab.

  • Diversity of Seagrass-Associated Decapod Crustaceans in a Tropical Reef Lagoon Prior to Large Environmental Changes: a Baseline Study

Received: 7 April 2020; Accepted: 19 May 2020; Published: 23 May 2020 Abstract: The community composition of decapods associated with subtidal tropical seagrass meadows was analyzed in a pristine reef lagoon on the Mexican Caribbean coast in the summer of 1995 and winter of 1998. The macrophyte community was dominated by Thalassia testudinum followed by Syringodium filiforme, with interspersed rhyzophytic macroalgae and large patches of drift algae. In each season, 10 one-min trawls were made with an epibenthic sled (mesh aperture 1 mm) during the day and 10 during the night on each of five sites. In all, 53,211 decapods belonging to 119 species were collected. The most diverse taxa were Brachyura and Caridea, but the most abundant were Caridea and Anomura. Dominance was high, with three species (Latreutes fucorum, Cuapetes americanus, and Thor manningi) accounting for almost 50% of individuals, and 10 species accounting for nearly 90% of individuals. There was great similarity in community composition and ecological indices between seasons, but significantly more individuals and species in night versus day samples.

Progress in our understanding of phylogenetic relationships within the Crustacea is linked to continuing discoveries of new taxa, to advances in theory and to improvements in methodology. Six themes are discussed that serve to illustrate some of the major on-going controversies and unresolved problems in the field as well as to illustrate changes that have taken place since the time of Linnaeus. These themes are: 1. the treatment of parasitic Crustacea, 2. the affinities of the Remipedia, 3. the validity of the Entomostraca, 4. exopodites and epipodites, 5. using larval characters in estimating phylogenetic rela- tionships, and 6. fossils and the crustacean stem-lineage. It is concluded that the development of the stem lineage concept for the Crustacea has been dominated by consideration of taxa known only from larval or immature stages.

Over 10,500 names are treated including 6,793 valid species and subspecies (with 1,907 primary synonyms), 1,271 genera and subgenera (with 393 primary synonyms), 93 families and 38 superfamilies. Nomenclatural and taxonomic problems are reviewed in detail, and many resolved. Detailed notes and references are provided where necessary. The constitution of a large number of families and superfamilies is discussed in detail, with the positions of some taxa rearranged in an attempt to form a stable base for future taxonomic studies. This is the first time the nomenclature of any large group of decapod crustaceans has been examined in such detail.

Coxal Hawaiian area, mainly around Oahu Island, and subexopodal spines (Figure I-I, sp.) are six scyllarid larval species were found (John­ present and the exopods of legs I, 2, and 3 son 1971). Five ofthese species were assigned are provided with 21, 21, and 19 pairs of respectively to Parribacus antarcticus (Lund); swimming setae, respectively; pleopods and Scyllarides squamosus (H. Milne Edwards); uropods are bilobed buds (Figure 1-3). The Arctides regalis Holthuis; Scyllarus timidus eyestalks are 2.4 mm long and the first Holthuis; and Scyllarus modestus Holthuis. antennae are about equal in length to the These five species comprise all of the then slender second antennae (Figure 1-4). Only known adult slipper lobsters of the Hawaiian very rudimentary second maxillae and first area. The sixth larval species, a Scyllarus, maxillipeds are present and the second maxi1­ could not be identified specifically and lipeds bear no exopod buds (Figure 1-5). appears to represent an unknown adult species of that genus inhabiting the area. It is of interest to report here yet another unknown larva ofScyllarus that was probably Scyllarus sp. phyllosoma. Length 30.1 mm, produced in this relatively isolated oceanic final fully gilled stage (Figure 2-6).

[email protected]; https://orcid/org/0000-0002-0028-1397 (Received 13 August 2020; accepted 23 September 2020) Abstract Deep-water squat lobsters collected during five cruises of the Fishery Oceanographic Research Vessel Sagar Sampada off the Andaman and Nicobar Archipelagos (299–812 m deep) and three cruises in the southeastern Arabian Sea (610–957 m deep) are identified. They are referred to each one species of the families Chirostylidae and Sternostylidae in the Superfamily Chirostyloidea, and five species of the family Munidopsidae and three species of the family Muni- didae in the Superfamily Galatheoidea. Of altogether 10 species of 5 genera dealt herein, the Uro- ptychus species of the Chirostylidae is described as new to science, and Agononida aff. indocerta Poore and Andreakis, 2012, of the Munididae, previously reported from Western Australia and Papua New Guinea, is newly recorded from Indian waters.
