EDITORIAL Plan of the site showing new development (Phase 1 in red, Phase 2 in blue) I can tell that summer is almost upon us because the rain pouring down on London is getting a little warmer. So it must be time for another issue of your favourite newsletter. My first duty is to thank our colleague Yoshihisa Shiryama, better known as Shira to his many friends, for the enormous effort he put into the Society during his term as Chairperson. I hope we in the London team do half as well as our colleagues in Japan. My next task is to scold the membership for The Darwin Centre under construction the lack of material we have received, with the honourable exception of our South African colleagues, only the Board of Corespondents has sent any material for inclusion. It is not fair to leave everything to them, efficient though they are. If you want to make your colleagues aware of your papers, please, please send the references to the editorial team. And while you are about it how about some news from your laboratory! The Society is in my opinion at something of a crossroads. Its great value has been to facilitate communication between meiofaunologists and also to encourage an appreciation of meiofaunal studies in the greater community. The central atrium The former task is still useful, the latter is critical. There are fewer active marine nematologists now than ten years ago. The question is how can we change to better satisfy these twin roles. In particular, how do we exploit the communication power of information technology and the internet. In the coming year I shall be flying some flags of my own but we want to hear your views. Darwin Centre Phase one (in red) of the new Darwin Centre at The Natural History Museum, London, has been completed and the Zoology Department, including the marine nematode and copepod researchers and curators, has moved in with its 28 million specimens. The building is an exciting new venture for The Museum as for the first time the public will have access to the national collection and scientists. Her Majesty, The Queen will officially open the building later in the year. Members of the Society will use the demonstration features in this building to explain and promote meiofauna studies to John Lambshead the wider public. More information can be obtained from the Museum’s website: http://www.nhm.ac.uk/darwincentre/ index.html WEB NEWS ANNOUNCEMENTS As members may or may not be aware, the E-mail Distribution List IAM website has undergone some major transformations during the past academic year.

[email protected] 1. Brief definition of the group and main diagnosing characters The Harpacticoida is one of the orders of the subclass Copepoda, and includes mainly free-living epibenthic aquatic organisms, although many species have successfully exploited other habitats, including semi-terrestial habitats and have established symbiotic relationships with other metazoans. Harpacticoids have a size range between 0.2 and 2.5 mm and have a podoplean morphology. This morphology is char- acterized by a body formed by several articulated segments, metameres or somites that form two separate regions; the anterior prosome and the posterior urosome. The division between the urosome and prosome may be present as a constriction in the more cylindric shaped harpacticoid families (e.g. Ectinosomatidae) or may be very pronounced in other familes (e.g. Tisbidae). The adults retain the central eye of the larval stages, with the exception of some underground species that lack visual organs. The harpacticoids have shorter first antennae, and relatively wider urosome than the copepods from other orders. The basic body plan of harpacticoids is more adapted to life in the benthic environment than in the pelagic environment i.e. they are more vermiform in shape than other copepods. Harpacticoida is a very diverse group of copepods both in terms of morphological diversity and in the species-richness of some of the families.

    TAXONOMY, BIOLOGY AND PHYLOGENY OF MIRACIIDAE (COPEPODA: HARPACTICOIDA) Rony Huys & Ruth Böttger-Schnack SARSIA Huys, Rony & Ruth Böttger-Schnack 1994 12 30. Taxonomy, biology and phytogeny of Miraciidae (Copepoda: Harpacticoida). - Sarsia 79:207-283. Bergen. ISSN 0036-4827. The holoplanktonic family Miraciidae (Copepoda, Harpacticoida) is revised and a key to the four monotypic genera presented. Amended diagnoses are given for Miracia Dana, Oculosetella Dahl and Macrosetella A. Scott, based on complete redescriptions of their respective type species M. efferata Dana, 1849, O. gracilis (Dana, 1849) and M. gracilis (Dana, 1847). A fourth genus Distioculus gen. nov. is proposed to accommodate Miracia minor T. Scott, 1894. The occurrence of two size-morphs of M. gracilis in the Red Sea is discussed, and reliable distribution records of the problematic O. gracilis are compiled. The first nauplius of M. gracilis is described in detail and changes in the structure of the antennule, P2 endopod and caudal ramus during copepodid development are illustrated. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that Miracia is closest to the miraciid ancestor and placed Oculosetella-Macrosetella at the terminal branch of the cladogram. Various aspects of miraciid biology are reviewed, including reproduction, postembryonic development, verti­ cal and geographical distribution, bioluminescence, photoreception and their association with filamentous Cyanobacteria {Trichodesmium).

NMFS is also charged with the development and implementation of policies for managing national fishing grounds, development and enforcement of domestic fisheries regulations, surveillance of foreign fishing off United States coastal waters, and the development and enforcement of international fishery agreements and policies. NMFS also assists the fishing industry through marketing service and economic analysis programs, and mortgage insurance and vessel construction subsidies. It collects, analyzes, and publishes statistics on various phases of the industry. The NOAA Technical Report NMFS Circular series continues a series that has been in existence since 1941. The Circulars are technical publications of general interest intended to aid conservation and management. Publications that review in considerable detail and at a high technical level certain broad areas of research appear in this series. Technical papers originating in economics studies and from management in- vestigations appear in the Circular series.

A total of 36 samples has been taken at three locations in the San Antonio Bay, Santa Cruz Province, Argentina on the coastal littoral at three tidal levels. This presents a unique and important collection for benthic biodiversity assessment of Patagonian nematodes as this area remains one of the least known regions.

The discovery of hydrothermal vents and progresses made during almost 30 years are outlined. A brief introduction is given on hydrothermal vent meiofauna and parasites. Geographic maps and a table of mid-ocean ridges and back-arc basins with the major known hydrothermal vent fields, their location and depth range and the most prominent vent sites are provided. Higher taxa are presented individually with information on the current taxonomic and biogeographic status, the number of species described, recommendations for fixation, and schematic drawings, which aim to help non-specialists to identify the animals. 86 authors contributed with their expertise to create a comprehensive database on animals living at hydrothermal vents, which contains information on the morphology, biology, and geographic distribution of more than 500 currently described species belonging to one protist and 12 animal phyla.

Parapinnanema hawaiiensis sp. nov. is characterized by a low c’ ratio and especially by a peculiar complex morphology of the median part of the gubernaculum. An updated and modified key to all the valid species of Parapinnanema is proposed. Key words: Chromadorida, Euchromadorinae, Hawaii, taxonomy, marine nematodes Introduction The family Chromadoridae, generally marine and represented by about 410 species (Tchesunov 2014), has been recorded worldwide, and their abundance appears to be positively correlated with an increase in sediment grain size (Heip et al. 1985). Chromadoridae are currently divided into five subfamilies: Chromadorinae, Euchromadorinae, Harpagonchinae, Hypodontolaiminae and Spilipherinae. Euchromadorinae accommodates 12 genera and more than 60 species (Tchesunov 2014).
