My professional work, research and teaching, they have all been my greatest hobbies. The field research at the top, of course. Not to forget: (only) some children and grandchildren.

The new species is similar to C. anonyx, C. cornuta, and C. geyserensis in having a serrate ventral margin of the spur on the posterior margin of the basis of the pereopod 5. However, the new species is distinguished from them by the combination of the following characters: the eyes are incomplete; the ventral margin of the spur on the posterior mar- gin of the basis of the pereopod 5 is multi-dentate; the spur of the basis of the pereopod 5 is long; and the telson almost reaches the posterior end of the uropod 3.

Total of 66 species belonging to 22 families were identified after analyzing the samples collected seasonally from the depths ranging between 1 and 30 m between 2007- 2008. According to the data gathered from the literature, it was determined that one species (Bathyporeia elegans Watkin, 1938) was a new record for the Turkish seas and 37 species for the Marmara Sea. In the Bandırma Gulf, of the ecological variables of the environment temperature was determined to range between 6.6-27°C, salinity between 21.32-36.03 psu, dissolved oxygen between 4.04-11.26 mg l-1and pH between 8.00-8.38. In the Erdek Gulf, temperature ranged between 6.7 and 27°C, salinity between 21.93-35.54‰, dissolved oxygen between 3.67-13.26 mg l-1and pH between 8.06-8.36. In the surface sediment at the sampling stations of the Bandırma Gulf, total organic carbon values were between 0.07-4.42%, total calcium carbonate between 0.88-84.82%, total phosphorus between 609-12740 μg g-1 and mud percentage between 1.38-79.93%.

    J. LAURENS BARNt Keys to the Hawaiian Marine Gammaridea, 0-30 Meters SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY NUMBER 58 SERIAL PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION The emphasis upon publications as a means of diffusing knowledge was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. In his formal plan for the Insti- tution, Joseph Henry articulated a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge not strictly professional." This keynote of basic research has been adhered to over the years in the issuance of thousands of titles in serial publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Annals of Flight Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Z0°l°iy Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes original articles and monographs dealing with the research and collections of its several museums and offices and of professional colleagues at other institutions of learning. These papers report newly acquired facts, synoptic interpretations of data, or original theory in specialized fields. Each publica- tion is distributed by mailing lists to libraries, laboratories, institutes, and interested specialists throughout the world.

Sars, 1907 (Crustacea: Mysidacea) was recorded for the first time in the Netherlands in 1997. In the summer of 1998 extremely high den- sities (>6 ind. 1-1) of this neozoon were recorded in one of the Biesbosch reservoirs (Honderd en Dertig). This high abundance can not be explained by a recent invasion. Either H. anomala reached the Nether- lands via the River Rhine, probably aided by shipping, or through transport with ballast water from the Baltic or Black Sea. The invasion had dramatic effects on the zooplankton composition and abundance: from the end of August onwards hardly any Anomopoda, Ostracoda, Rotifera and invertebrate predators (Leptodora kindti and Bythotrephes longimanus) were present.

Griffiths* Department of Biological Sciences & Marine Research Institute, University of CapeTown, Rondebosch, 7700 South Africa E-mail: [email protected] (with 13 figures) Received 25 June 2013. Accepted 23 August 2013 Three species of marine Amphipoda, Peramphithoe africana, Varohios serratus and Ceradocus isimangaliso, are described as new to science and an additional 13 species are recorded from South Africa for the first time. Twelve of these new records originate from collecting expeditions to Sodwana Bay in northern KwaZulu-Natal, while one is an introduced species newly recorded from Simon’s Town Harbour. In addition, we collate all additions and revisions to the regional amphipod fauna that have taken place since the last major monographs of each group and produce a comprehensive, updated faunal list for the region. A total of 483 amphipod species are currently recognized from continental South Africa and its Exclusive Economic Zone . Of these, 35 are restricted to freshwater habitats, seven are terrestrial forms, and the remainder either marine or estuarine. The fauna includes 117 members of the suborder Corophiidea, 260 of the suborder Gammaridea, 105 of the suborder Hyperiidea and a single described representative of the suborder Ingolfiellidea.

Abstract: Gammaridea and Corophiidea amphipod species from the Beagle Channel and the Straits of Magellan were listed for the first time; their faunas were compared on the basis of bibliographic information and material collected in one locality at Beagle Channel (Isla Becasses). The species Schraderia serraticauda and Heterophoxus trichosus (collected at Isla Becasses) were cited for the first time for the Magellan region; Schraderia is the first generic record for this region. A total of 127 species were reported for the Beagle Channel and the Straits of Magellan. Sixty-two species were shared between both passages (71.3 % similarity). The amphipod species represented 34 families and 83 genera. The similarity at genus level was 86.4 %, whereas 23 of the 34 families were present in both areas. For all species, 86 had bathymetric ranges above 100 m and only 12 species ranged below 200 m depth. In the Beagle Channel, only one species had a depth record greater than 150 m, whereas in the Straits of Magellan, 15 had such a record.

Diversity of New Zealand Deep-sea Amphipoda A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Waikato by MATTHEW ANDREW KNOX 2012 i ABSTRACT Biodiversity and the ecological and evolutionary processes which influence faunal distributions are poorly understood in deep-sea habitats. This thesis assesses diversity of deep-sea amphipod crustaceans at three taxonomic levels (family, species, genetic) on continental margins of New Zealand relative to environmental variables. Sampling was undertaken at 20 stations located on Chatham Rise and Challenger Plateau, two major geomorphic features with contrasting environmental conditions. In Chapter 1, total diversity of the >12,500 amphipods assessed at the family-level revealed high abundance (range: 44 – 2074 individuals 1000 m-2) and taxonomic richness (27 families). Amphipod assemblages at all stations were largely dominated by the same families.
