These axis identifications lead to the conclusion that a posterior class Hox gene in the coeloms of the nascent the five ambulacra are not primary body axes, but instead are adult body plan within the larva; the anatomy of certain early outgrowths from the central anterior/posterior axis.

Recent crinoids, to test for evidence of the interaction in the geologic past, in situ and laboratory observations indicate that cidaroid sea urchins and to identify its evolutionary consequences, we conducted aquar- feed on live stalked crinoids, leaving distinct bite marks on their skeletal ium experiments, analyzed samples of Triassic fossil crinoids, and elements.

Keywords: Ophiocoma, neotype, taxonomy, Ophiuroidea, Indo-West Pacific, Western Indian Ocean, KwaZulu-Natal. Abstract-This study raises the number of Ophiocoma species recorded in South Africa from four to eight. All species are briefly discussed in terms of taxonomy, geographic distribution and ecology. In addition, the juvenile of 0. brevipes, found on the underside of adult Ophiocoma brevipes specimens, is described in detail. A neotype is designated for 0. scolopendrina. INTRODUCTION The Indo-Pacific distribution of The circumtropical family Ophiocomidae Ophiocoma has been dealt with by several holds some of the more dominant and authors (e.g. Clark & Rowe 1971; Cherbonnier conspicuous ophiuroid species present on & Guille 1978; Rowe & Gates 1995).

Abstract: Phyllodial pores and the identification of two subspecies of sea urchins in Mexico: Meoma ventri- cosa grandis (Pacific) and Meoma ventricosa ventricosa (Atlantic). The genus Meoma inhabits Mexican waters and is represented by the subspecies Meoma ventricosa grandis in the Pacific and Meoma ventricosa ventricosa in the Atlantic. Both subespecies are morphologically similar. We studied the morphological differences between Meoma ventricosa grandis and Meoma ventricosa ventricosa, specifically in the patterns of phyllodial pore pairs and kind of sediments where they live. The number of pores differs among subspecies until M. ventricosa grandis reaches 110 mm of total lenght. The difference in the number of phyllodial pores can be an adaptation to the size of silt grain. Rev. Biol. Trop. 56 (Suppl. 3): 13-17. Epub 2009 January 05. Key words: sea urchins, Meoma ventricosa grandis, Meoma ventricosa ventricosa, México, phyllodial pores.
