Avenida Ademar de Barros, Ondina, 40170-115 Salvador, Bahia, Brasil. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. Iridopelma seladonium (C.L. Koch, 1841) (Theraphosidae, Aviculariinae) is a very rare, colorful and small tarantula found in the Atlantic Rainforest in Bahia and Sergipe. The original description of this species was based on a single female and no illustrations of reproductive organs were presented. After we collected several specimens identified as I. seladonium, we decided to redescribe this species and discovered that the male, previously described as belonging to this species, was misidentified by MELLO LEITÃO (1923). Thus, in this paper the male of I. seladonium is newly described and the reproductive organs of male and female are described and illustrated in detail. Notes on the behavior and natural history of I. seladonium are presented based on the observation of live specimens in the field and in captivity. An immature of I. seladonium was observed constructing a hinged retreat with silk and little pieces of bark, a behavior not previously seen for other Aviculariinae.

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.

  • Notopus Dorsipes (Linnaeus) in Singapore: First Record of the Brachyuran Superfamily Raninoidea (Crustacea: Decapoda) on the Sunda Shelf
    NATURE IN SINGAPORE 2012 5: 19–25 Date of Publication: 27 January 2012 © National University of Singapore NOTOPUS DORSIPES (LINNAEUS) IN SINGAPORE: FIRST RECORD OF THE BRACHYURAN SUPERFAMILY RANINOIDEA (CRUSTACEA: DECAPODA) ON THE SUNDA SHELF Martyn E. Y. Low1* and S. K. Tan2 1Department of Marine and Environmental Sciences, Graduate School of Engineering and Science University of the Ryukyus, 1 Senbaru, Nishihara, Okinawa 903-0213, Japan 2Raffles Museum of Biodiversity Research, National University of Singapore 6 Science Drive 2, Singapore 117546, Republic of Singapore (*Corresponding author: [email protected]) INTRODUCTION Recently, a brachyuran crab identified as Notopus dorsipes (Linnaeus, 1758), was found at Changi (north-east Singapore). This represents the first record of the superfamily Raninoidea de Haan, 1839, in Singapore and on the Sunda Shelf (Figs. 1, 2). The superfamily Raninoidea has a worldwide distribution and its members inhabit marine habitats from the intertidal zone to over 300 m deep (reviewed in Ahyong et al., 2009; see also Dawson & Yaldwyn, 1994). Fifty species of raninoids are currently assigned to 12 genera in six subfamilies (Ng et al., 2008). Notopus dorsipes belongs to a monotypic genus currently assigned to the subfamily Notopodinae Serène & Umali, 1972 (see Ng et al., 2008). Originally described as Cancer dorsipes by Linnaeus (1758), this species has had a confused nomenclatural history (see Holthuis, 1962). In order to stabilise the name Cancer dorsipes Linnaeus, Holthuis (1962: 55) designated a figure in Rumphius (1705: pl. 10: Fig. 3) as the lectotype of Notopus dorsipes (reproduced as Fig. 3). De Haan (1841) established the genus Notopus for Cancer dorsipes Linnaeus, the type species by monotypy.

Wilson1, J. Zhang3,15 and N. J. Bax2,16 Abstract Background: Our knowledge of the benthic fauna at lower bathyal to abyssal (LBA, > 2000 m) depths off Eastern Australia was very limited with only a few samples having been collected from these habitats over the last 150 years. In May–June 2017, the IN2017_V03 expedition of the RV Investigator sampled LBA benthic communities along the lower slope and abyss of Australia’s eastern margin from off mid-Tasmania (42°S) to the Coral Sea (23°S), with particular emphasis on describing and analysing patterns of biodiversity that occur within a newly declared network of offshore marine parks. Methods: The study design was to deploy a 4 m (metal) beam trawl and Brenke sled to collect samples on soft sediment substrata at the target seafloor depths of 2500 and 4000 m at every 1.5 degrees of latitude along the western boundary of the Tasman Sea from 42° to 23°S, traversing seven Australian Marine Parks.

    The Nature of Defense: Coevolutionary Studies, Ecological Interaction, and the Evolution of 'Natural Insecticides,' 1959-1983 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Rachel Natalie Mason Dentinger IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Mark Borrello December 2009 © Rachel Natalie Mason Dentinger 2009 Acknowledgements My first thanks must go to my advisor, Mark Borrello. Mark was hired during my first year of graduate school, and it has been my pleasure and privilege to be his first graduate student. He long granted me a measure of credit and respect that has helped me to develop confidence in myself as a scholar, while, at the same time, providing incisive criticism and invaluable suggestions that improved the quality of my work and helped me to greatly expand its scope. My committee members, Sally Gregory Kohlstedt, Susan Jones, Ken Waters, and George Weiblen all provided valuable insights into my dissertation, which will help me to further develop my own work in the future. Susan has given me useful advice on teaching and grant applications at pivotal points in my graduate career. Sally served as my advisor when I first entered graduate school and has continued as my mentor, reading nearly as much of my work as my own advisor. She never fails to be responsive, thoughtful, and generous with her attention and assistance. My fellow graduate students at Minnesota, both past and present, have been a huge source of encouragement, academic support, and fun. Even after I moved away from Minneapolis, I continued to feel a part of this lively and cohesive group of colleagues.

I am also hugely endebted to Dr Keith Spriggs who became my mentor in the field of RNA and without whom my understanding of the field would have been but a fraction of what it is now. Particular thanks go to Professor John Brookfield, an expert in the field of biological statistics and data retrieval. Likewise with Dr Susan Liddell for her proteomics assistance, a truly remarkable individual on par with Professor Brookfield in being able to simplify even the most complex techniques and analyses. Finally, I would really like to thank Janet Beccaloni for her time and resources at the Natural History Museum, London, permitting me access to the collections therein; ten years on and still a delight. Finally, amongst the greats, Alexander ‘Sasha’ Kondrashov… a true inspiration. I would also like to express my gratitude to those who, although may not have directly contributed, should not be forgotten due to their continued assistance and considerate nature: Dr Chris Wade (five straight hours of help was not uncommon!), Sue Buxton (direct to my bench creepy crawlies), Sheila Keeble (ventures and cleans where others dare not), Alice Young (read/checked my thesis and overcame her arachnophobia!) and all those in the Centre for Biomolecular Sciences.

The status of Podotremata is one of the most controversial issues in brachyuran systematics. The podotreme crabs, best recognised by the possession of gonopores on the coxae of the pereopods, have variously been regarded as mono-, para- or polyphyletic, or even as non-brachyuran. For the first time, the phylogenetic positions of the podotreme crabs were studied by cladistic analysis of small subunit nuclear ribosomal RNA sequences. Eight of 10 podotreme families were represented along with representatives of 17 eubr- achyuran families. Under both maximum parsimony and Bayesian Inference, Podotremata was found to be significantly paraphyletic, comprising three major clades: Dromiacea, Raninoida, and Cyclodorippoida. The most ‘basal’ is Dromiacea, followed by Raninoida and Cylodorippoida. Notably, Cyclodorippoida was identified as the sister group of the Eubrachyura.
