  • Upogebia Deltaura (Crustacea: Thalassinidea) in Clyde Sea Maerl
    BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE, 58(3): 709-729, 1996 THE GENUS PARAXIOPSIS DE MAN, WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW SPECIES FROM THE WESTERN ATLANTIC (CRUSTACEA: DECAPODA: AXIIDAE) Brian Kensley ABSTRACT The axiid shrimp genus Paraxiopsis De Man is reinstated, and separated from Eutricho- cheles Wood Mason on the basis of five characters. Nine species are assigned to Paraxiopsis, two from the Pacific and seven from the western Atlantic. Five of the latter are previously undescribed: P. foveolata from the eastern Gulf of Mexico; P. gracilimana from South Car­ olina to Tobaga, Belize, and the Gulf of Mexico; P. granulimana from Trinidad and the Florida Shelf; P. hispida from the Yucatan; and P. spinipleura from Belize and the Florida Keys. The type species, P. brocki De Man from the Indo-Pacific is redescribed, as is P. defensus Rathbun from the Caribbean. The species range from the intertidal to 95 m, in a variety of habitats including coral buttresses, coarse rubble, sand and mud. Axiid shrimps are, almost without exception, cryptic in habit. Consequently, little is known of their biology, while the taxa are often poorly represented in museum collections. Excluding the five new species described here, 14 species of axiids have been recorded in the tropical western Atlantic, of which the four species of Eiconaxius Bate, 1888, are all deepwater sponge commensals. Only Coralaxius nodulosus (Meinert, 1877) and Axiopsis serratifrons (A. Milne Ed­ wards, 1873) have been observed alive, and even for these species there is only scant biological information. The material described here has been accumulated over the course of several years, often incidental to collecting efforts for fishes and other crustacean groups, or as part of surveys of the shallow continental shelf.

Abstract Ghost shrimps of Callianassidae and Ctenochelidae are soft-bodied, usually heterochelous decapods representing major bioturbators of muddy and sandy (sub)marine substrates. Ghost shrimps have a robust fossil record spanning from the Early Cretaceous (~ 133 Ma) to the Holocene and their remains are present in most assemblages of Cenozoic decapod crustaceans. Their taxonomic interpretation is in flux, mainly because the generic assignment is hindered by their insufficient preservation and disagreement in the biological classification. Fur- thermore, numerous taxa are incorrectly classified within the catch-all taxonCallianassa . To show the historical patterns in describing fos- sil ghost shrimps and to evaluate taphonomic aspects influencing the attribution of ghost shrimp remains to higher level taxa, a database of all fossil species treated at some time as belonging to the group has been compiled: 250 / 274 species are considered valid ghost shrimp taxa herein.

In addition to the three species so far recorded in the region, we report Spongicola goyi for the first time, and formally describe three new species of Spongicolidae. Following the morphological review and DNA sequencing of type specimens, we propose the synonymy of Spongiocaris yaldwyni with S. neocaledonensis and review a proposed broad Indo-West Pacific distribution range of Spongicoloides novaezelandiae. New records for the latter at nearly 54◦ South on the Macquarie Ridge provide the southernmost record for stenopodidean shrimp known to date.
