THOMASSIN en Nouvelle-Calédonie, J. GRELET à Moorea (Polynésie) et R. M. KRISTENSEN à Roscoff (Manche) ont permis l'étude de diverses formes littorales de Florarctinae. Des travaux récents (RENAUD-MORNANT, 1982; KRISTENSEN, 1984) sur de nouveaux genres laissaient présager une grande diversité dans cette sous-famille. L'examen approfondi de certaines espèces réputées cosmopolites a déjà révélé des différences morphologiques permettant de séparer des espèces nouvelles (RENAUD-MORNANT, 1987). Les variants étudiés ici illustrent des phénomènes de spéciation vraisemblablement liés à l'allopatrisme et révèlent le potentiel évolutif des Florarctinae.

  • Delavalia Longifurca (Sewell, 1934) (Copepoda: Harpacticoida) from the Southern Iraqi Marshes and Shatt Al-Arab River, Basrah, Iraq
    33 Al-Mayah & Al-Asadi Vol. 2 (1): 34-43, 2018 Delavalia longifurca (Sewell, 1934) (Copepoda: Harpacticoida) from the Southern Iraqi Marshes and Shatt Al-Arab River, Basrah, Iraq Hanaa H. Mohammed Marine Science Center, University of Basrah, Basrah, Iraq *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract: A marine harpacticoid copepod, Delavalia longifurca was found in some parts of the southern Iraqi marshes and the Shatt Al-Arab river during the period 2006-2009. The highest occurrence density was 231 ind./ m3 in Al-Burga marsh during April 2006, whereas a density of 92 ind./ m3 was found in Al-Qurna town (Shatt Al-Arab river) during July 2009. The species was photographed and illustrated and some remarks on their occurrence were given. The specimens of D. longifurca from Basrah were rather distinct from those described earlier from India. Keywords: Delavalia longifurca, Copepoda, Marshes, Shatt Al-Arab river, Basrah, Iraq. Introduction The marshes and Shatt Al-Arab river are large freshwater bodies covering large area in southern Iraq. Several studies on zooplankton were carried out in Shatt Al-Arab river and the southern Iraqi marshes and were focusing on the abundance and distribution of the different groups of zooplankton (Mohammad, 1965; Khalaf & Smirnov, 1976; Al-Saboonchi et al., 1986; Ajeel, 2004; Ajeel et al., 2006; Salman et al., 2014). Environment of Southern Iraq was subjected to some significant changes in salinity and temperature, especially in the last few years which led to substantial variation in species composition and abundance of many organisms. Such changes also caused the intrusion of many marine species into Shatt Al-Arab river and the marshes.

ZooKeys 411: 105–143. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.411.7346 Abstract Definition of monophyletic supraspecific units in the harpacticoid subfamily Stenheliinae Brady, 1880 has been considered problematic and hindered by the lack of molecular or morphology based phylogenies, as well as by incomplete original descriptions of many species. Presence of a modified seta on the fifth leg endopod has been suggested recently as a synapomorphy of eight species comprising the redefined genus Stenhelia Boeck, 1865, although its presence was not known in S. pubescens Chislenko, 1978. We rede- scribe this species in detail here, based on our freshly collected topotypes from the Russian Far East. The other species redescribed in this paper was collected from the southern coast of South Korea and identified as the Chinese S. taiae Mu & Huys, 2002, which represents its second record ever and the first one in Korea.

We thus investigated the phylogeny of Echiniscidae, assessed the monophyly of Echiniscus, and explored the value of cuticular ornamentation as a phylogenetic character within Echiniscus. To do this, DNA was extracted from single individuals for multiple Echiniscus species, and 18S and 28S rRNA gene fragments were sequenced. Each specimen was photographed, and published in an open database prior to DNA extraction, to make morphological evidence available for future inquiries. An updated phylogeny of the class Heterotardigrada is provided, and conflict between the obtained molecular trees and the distribution of dorsal plates among echiniscid genera is highlighted. The monophyly of Echiniscus was corroborated by the data, with the recent genus Diploechiniscus inferred as its sister group, and Testechiniscus as the sister group of this assemblage. Three groups that closely correspond to specific types of cuticular design in Echiniscus have been found with a parsimony network constructed with 18S rRNA data.

  • Contribution to the Knowledge on Distribution of Tardigrada in Turkey
    diversity Article Contribution to the Knowledge on Distribution of Tardigrada in Turkey Duygu Berdi * and Ahmet Altında˘g Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Ankara University, 06100 Ankara, Turkey; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 28 December 2019; Accepted: 4 March 2020; Published: 6 March 2020 Abstract: Tardigrades have been occasionally studied in Turkey since 1973. However, species number and distribution remain poorly known. In this study, distribution of Tardigrades in the province of Karabük, which is located in northern coast (West Black Sea Region) of Turkey, was carried out. Two moss samples were collected from the entrance of the Bulak (Mencilis) Cave. A total of 30 specimens and 14 eggs were extracted. Among the specimens; Echiniscus granulatus (Doyère, 1840) and Diaforobiotus islandicus islandicus (Richters, 1904) are new records for Karabük. Furthermore, this study also provides a current checklist of tardigrade species reported from Turkey, indicating their localities, geographic distribution and taxonomical comments. Keywords: cave; Diaforobiotus islandicus islandicus; Echiniscus granulatus; Karabük; Tardigrades; Turkey 1. Introduction Caves are not only one of the most important forms of karst, but also one of the most unique forms of karst topography in terms of both size and formation characteristics, which are formed by mechanical melting and partly chemical erosion of water [1]. Most of the caves in Turkey were developed within the Cretaceous and Tertiary limestone, metamorphic limestone [2], and up to now ca. 40 000 karst caves have been recorded in Turkey. Although, most of these caves are found in the karstic plateaus zone in the Toros System, important caves, such as Kızılelma, Sofular, Gökgöl and Mencilis, have also formed in the Western Black Sea [3].

Zoological Studies 48(4): 493-507. A new species belonging to the Miraciidae Dana, 1846 (Copepoda: Harpacticoida: Miraciidae), is described from a seagrass bed dominated by Enhalus acoroides at Banpaklok, Phuket I., Thailand. An amended diagnosis of Typhlamphiascus includes: rostrum well-developed, expanded at the base with a small sensillum on each side of the rostrum about 1/5 from the acute tip. The new species, T. higginsi sp. nov., is similar to other species of the genus by having 8 segmented antennules, an almost linear body shape, and the baseoendopod of the 5th legs with fork-tipped setae. Autapomorphies of the new species are provided by the following characters: the inner edge of the basis of male 1st legs with only 3 chitinous lamellae; the dorsal edge of the female 1st abdominal somite ornamented with 1 row of 7 min spinules on each side, the armature of the abdominal somites furnished with rows of triangular spinules along the ventral edge of the 3rd and 4th somites in special patterns above the hyaline frills; the caudal ramus with a conical shape twice as long as broad, and the inner edge with 2 min spinules at the base.

    BULLETIN DU MUSÉUM NATIONAL D'HISTOIRE NATURELLE 2» Série — Tome 42 — № 5, 1970 (1971), pp. 957-969. CAMPAGNE D'ESSAIS DU « JEAN CHARCOT » (3-8 DÉCEMBRE 1968) 8. Méiobenthos. II. Tardigrades Par JEANNE RENAUD-MORNANT INTRODUCTION J'ai donné dans un travail antérieur (RENAUD-MORNANT, 1970) un compte rendu général des récoltes méiobenthiques effectuées lors de la campagne d'essais du « Jean Charcot » au large de Brest. Un inventaire des différents groupes zoologiques récoltés a été dressé. Dix- sept groupes sont représentés et constituent un échantillonnage très varié surtout aux stations comprises entre 100 et 170 m de profondeur. Les assem­ blages méiofaunistiques rencontrés sont très comparables à ceux peuplant le sable à Amphioxus côtier et il est très intéressant de les retrouver à une distance considérable du littoral. Il en est ainsi des Tardigrades marins qui sont considérés comme des habi­ tants de l'intertidal ou du sable à amphioxus infralittoral et qui sont présents dans les prélèvements. Ces récoltes, effectuées en décembre 1968, ont donc montré qu'ils ont une expansion beaucoup plus vaste, s'étendant jusqu'à la pente du plateau continental. Sur huit stations étudiées, trois prélèvements seulement ont livré des Tar­ digrades. Les renseignements concernant les stations de cette campagne ont été donnés par FOREST (1969). Quinze exemplaires, au total, proviennent des stations 1, 2 et 8 et incluent trois genres et quatre espèces dont une sous-espèce nouvelle ; tous appartiennent à la famille qui, d'après RAMAZZOTTI (1962), serait la plus primitive de ce phylum : les Halechiniscidae.
