Phylogenetic Relationships of the Plagusiidae Dana, 1851
PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS OF THE PLAGUSIIDAE DANA, 1851 (BRACHYURA), WITH DESCRIPTION OF A NEW GENUS AND RECOGNITION OF PERCNIDAE ŠTEVCIˇ C,´ 2005, AS AN INDEPENDENT FAMILY BY CHRISTOPH D.

CUESTA2,4) 1) Biologie I, Universität Regensburg, D-93040 Regensburg, Germany 2) Instituto de Ciencias Marinas de Andalucía, CSIC, Avenida República Saharaui, 2, E-11519 Puerto Real, Cádiz, Spain ABSTRACT A molecular and morphological analysis of representatives of the family Plagusiidae, including all members of Plagusia Latreille, 1804, and the recently established Davusia Guinot, 2007, was carried out. Due to marked differences in adult and larval morphology, as well as mitochondrial and nuclear DNA, two species of Plagusia,viz.,P. chabrus (Linnaeus, 1758), and P. dentipes De Haan, 1835, are considered sister taxa but distinct from other members of the genus. They are transferred to a new genus, Guinusia. A molecular phylogeny suggests that Guinusia is not closer related to Plagusia than to the plagusiid genera Euchirograpsus H. Milne Edwards, 1853, and Miersiograpsus Türkay, 1978. Furthermore, with new evidence from mitochondrial and nuclear DNA as well as a reappraisal of the larval morphology, the genus Percnon Gistel, 1848, is formally removed from the Plagusiidae and recognized as a separate family, Percnidae Števciˇ c,´ 2005. RÉSUMÉ Une analyse moléculaire et morphologique des représentants de la famille des Plagusiidae comprenant tous les membres du genre Plagusia Latreille, 1804, et le genre récemment établi Davusia Guinot, 2007, a été réalisée.

E-mail: [email protected] 2Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum, National University of Singapore, Singapore, Republic of Singapore. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Tritodynamia serratipes sp. nov. is described based on a female specimen dredged on soft mud at a depth of 6.3–6.5 m, near Marina East, only a few kilometers from Singapore’s city centre. The new species differs from all other species of Tritodynamia Ortmann, 1894 by a unique combination of morphological characters, including the posterior margin of the propodus of the second ambulatory leg armed with a row of particularly strong teeth, and the cutting edges of dactylus and pollex each proximally armed with two stout teeth. Tritodynamia serratipes sp. nov. is the second species of the genus described from tropical Asia. Key words: Tritodynamia, new species, South-East Asia, Singapore Introduction Tritodynamia Ortmann, 1894, previously classified as a pinnotherid crab genus, is currently regarded as a member of the family Macrophthalmidae Dana, 1851, in the monogeneric subfamily Tritodynamiinae Števčić, 2005 (see Ng et al. 2008; Naruse & Ng 2010). According to the most recent assessments of Tritodynamia (Yang & Tang 2005; Ng et al. -

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.

E-mail: [email protected] 2 Departamento de Sistemática e Ecologia, Universidade Federal da Paraíba, 58059-900 João Pessoa, PB, Brasil. Recebido: 15/06/2003 Aceito: 09/12/2003 ABSTRACT The crab Ucides cordatus (Linnaeus, 1763) or ‘caranguejo-uçá’, as it is known in Brazil, is one of the most conspicuous and abundant components of the epibenthic macrofauna of Brazilian mangrove ecosystems and the most exploited resource by riparian human populations. It is aimed here to study the population structure of this crustacean in the estuary of the Mamanguape river, State of Paraíba, Northeast Brazil. The research was performed between August 2000 and September 2001. An area of 1600m2 was marked out through the mangrove habitat and the density of U. cordatus was determined by counting inhabited burrows. Three-hundred crabs were captured and biometrical and sexual ratio values were obtained. The mean density of inhabited burrows was 1.7 burrows m-2. Males crabs were larger than females and their sexual ratio was 1.85: 1.00. They mate between January and March. The low dimension of captured specimens and the low values of population density here obtained confirm the observation of crab gatherers that ‘caranguejo-uçá’ is decreasing in that mangrove area. -

Rizalthus, new genus, with just one species, R. anconis, new species, can be distinguished from allied genera by characters of the carapace, epistome, chelipeds, male abdomen and male fi rst gonopod. Visayax, new genus, contains two new species, V. osteodictyon and V. estampadori, and can be distinguished from similar genera using a combination of features of the carapace, epistome, thoracic sternum, male abdomen, pereiopods and male fi rst gonopod. A new species of Hepatoporus Serène, H. pumex, is also described. It is distinguished from congeners by the unique morphology of its front, carapace sculpturing, form of the subhepatic cavity and structure of the male fi rst gonopod.

17 SUPERFAMILY GRAPSOIDEA The crabs belonging to the Grapsoidea include a lot of ubiquitous species collected in the mangrove and/or along the coastline. As a result, most of the species listed here under the ‘Coastal Rock-rubble’ biotope of table 2b could be reasonably listed also with marine species. This is particularly true for the Grapsidae: Grapsus, Pachygrapsus, Pseudograpsus, and Thalassograpsus. FAMILY GECARCINIDAE Cardisoma carnifex (Herbst, 1796).

This species showed a slower growth, with a marked seasonal oscillation, in females as compared to males, suggesting application of the seasonal and nonseasonal von Bertalanffy growth model, respectively. CW‘ and k constant were closely similar for the two sexes (CW‘ male ¼ 90.3 mm; CW‘ female ¼ 88.6 mm; kmale ¼ 0.28; kfemale ¼ 0.26). The age at sexual maturity was estimated to be around 3 years, while the age at legal size (CW ¼ 60 mm) was 3.8 and 4.7 years for males and females, respectively. In the laboratory, juvenile stages did not show differences in growth rates under the same temperature and photoperiod conditions. Ucides cordatus (Linnaeus, 1763) is associated with the been influenced by temperature, salinity, and photoperiod mangrove areas of the Western Atlantic, occuring from (Costlow and Bookhout, 1968; Leffler, 1972; Du Preez and Florida (U.S.A.) to the State of Santa Catarina, Brazil (Melo Mclachlan, 1984). -

Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Departamento de Oceanografia, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Oceanografia. Av. Arquitetura, s/n, Cidade Universitária. 50670-901 Recife, PE, Brazil. Received 21-XI-2007. Corrected 30-VI-2008. Accepted 31-VII-2008. Abstract: A total of 117 species of freshwater decapod crustaceans are known from Brazil. Knowledge regarding the fauna of Decapoda from inland waters in the state of Bahia, northeast Brazil, is incipient. In spite of its wide territory and rich hydrographic net, only 13 species of limnetic decapods have been reported from that state. The objective of this contribution was to survey decapod crustaceans of some hydrographic basins in southeastern Bahia. The material described herein was obtained in samplings conducted between 1997 and 2005. Voucher specimens were deposited in the carcinological collections of the Museu de Zoologia, Universidade Estadual de Santa Cruz, Ilhéus, Brazil, and Departamento de Oceanografia, Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Recife, Brazil. A total of 13 species was collected. The carideans were represented by the atyids Atya scabra (Leach, 1815) and Potimirim potimirim (Müller, 1881) and the palaemonids Macrobrachium acanthurus (Wiegmann, 1836), M. amazonicum (Heller, 1862), M. carcinus (Linnaeus, 1758), M. heterochirus (Wiegmann, 1836), M. jelskii (Miers, 1877), M. olfersi (Wiegmann, 1836), and Palaemon (Palaemon) pandaliformis (Stimpson, 1871). The brachyurans were represented by the portunids Callinectes bocourti A.
