Wetherell Secretary The Florida Marine Research Institute (FMRI) is a bureau of the Florida Department of Envi- ronmental Protection (FDEP).The FDEP’s mission is to “protect,conserve, and manage Florida’s environment and natural resources.” The FMRI conducts applied research pertinent to manag- ing marine-fishery resources and marine species of special concern in Florida. Programs at the FMRI focus on resource-management topics such as managing gamefish and shellfish populations, restoring depleted fish stocks and the habitats that support them, pro- tecting coral reefs, preventing and mitigating oil-spill damage, protecting endangered and threatened species, and managing coastal-resource information. The FMRI publishes three series: Memoirs of the Hourglass Cruises, Florida Marine Research Publi- cations, and FMRI Technical Reports. FMRI Technical Reports contain information relevant to imme- diate resource-management needs. Kenneth D. Haddad, Chief of Research Institute Editors Theresa M. Bert, David K. Camp, Paul R.

    The Genus Phlyctenodes Milne Edwards, 1862 (Crustacea: Decapoda: Xanthidae) in the Eocene of Europe

Based on carapace features, this taxon is placed in the subfamily Actaeinae, family Xanthidae MacLeay, 1838. Species attributed to this genus are known from Eocene reef environments in Europe. Preservation of crustacean remains in this kind of environment is very rare, and it could explain scarcity of specimens of this genus. For the fi rst time, pictures of types of this genus described during the XIX century and the fi rst decades of the XX century are presented. A study of recently collected specimens from the Eocene of Veneto (Italy) allows to clarify relationships between Phlyctenodes krenneri Lörenthey, 1898 and P. dalpiazi Fabiani, 1911. Presence of P. tuberculosus Milne Edwards, 1862 among the new material is documented. The other known species of this genus, P. hantkeni Lörenthey, 1898 is placed in Pseudophlyctenodes new genus on the basis of differences in morphological features. Key words: Crustacea, Decapoda, Phlyctenodes, systematic review, Eocene, Italy. RESUMEN Se presenta una revisión sistemática del género de cangrejo Phlyctenodes Milne Edwards, 1862. Con base en las características del caparazón, este taxon es ubicado en la subfamilia Actaeinae, familia Xanthidae MacLeay, 1838.

    Annotated Checklist of Decapod Crustaceans of Atlantic Coastal and Continental Shelf Waters of the United States

    PROCEEDINGS OF THE BIOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF WASHINGTON 116(1):96—157. 2003. Annotated checklist of decapod crustaceans of Atlantic coastal and continental shelf waters of the United States Martha S. Nizinski National Marine Fisheries Service National Systematics Laboratory, Smithsonian Institution, P.O. Box 37012, NHB, MRC-0153, Washington, D.C. 20013-7012, U.S.A., e-mail: [email protected] Abstract.—The decapod crustacean assemblage inhabiting estuarine, neritic and continental shelf waters (to 190 m) of the temperate eastern United States is diverse, with 391 species reported from Maine to Cape Canaveral, Florida. Three recognized biogeographic provinces (Boreal in part, Virginian and Car- olinian) are included in this region. The assemblage contains 122 shrimp spe- cies (28 penaeids, 2 stenopodids, and 92 carideans), 10 thalassinideans, 8 lob- sters, 61 anomurans and 190 brachyurans. Since previous compilation of this fauna, 12 additional species have been described, including four carideans, one callianassid, four anomurans, and three brachyurans. Range extensions into the region have been reported for another five species (Parapenaeus americanus, Scyllarides aequinoctialis, Petrolisthes armatus, Dromia erythropus, Clythro- cerus nitidus). One species, Hemigrapsus sanguineus, has been introduced and become established throughout intertidal environments from southern Maine to northern North Carolina. Six species previously recorded from this region are no longer considered to occur there. Two of these species occur south of the Carolinian biogeographic province, three others are now known to occur only in the Pacific Ocean, and one species previously considered as likely to occur in the region has never actually been recorded there. Scientific nomenclature for all species recorded from the region is updated and referenced.

THOMA1*, DANIÈLE GUINOT2 and DARRYL L.

On the basis of morphology, Xanthoidea is presently regarded to represent three families: Xanthidae, Pseudorhombilidae, and Panopeidae. However, few studies have examined this superfamily using modern phylogenetic methods, despite the ecological and economic importance of this large, poorly understood group. In this study we examine phylogenetic relation- ships within the superfamily Xanthoidea using three mitochondrial markers, 12S rRNA, 16S rRNA, and cytochrome oxidase I (COI), and three nuclear markers, 18S rRNA, enolase (ENO) and histone H3 (H3). Bayesian and maximum-likelihood analyses indicate that the superfamily Xanthoidea is monophyletic; however, the families Xanthidae, Panopeidae, and Pseudorhombilidae, as defined by Ng et al., are not, and their representative memberships must be redefined. To this end, some relevant morphological characters are discussed. © 2013 The Linnean Society of London, Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2014, 170, 86–109. doi: 10.1111/zoj.12093 ADDITIONAL KEYWORDS: COI – enolase – histone H3 – Panopeidae – phylogenetics – Pseudorhombilidae – 16S–12S–18S – Xanthidae.
