ALLAN HANCOCK FOUNDATION PUBLICATIONS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA OCCASIONAL PAPER NUMBER 11 ISSUED JULY 30, 1951 THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA PRESS Los ANGELES, CALIFORNIA A GENERAL REVISION OF THE PALAEMONIDAE (CRUSTACEA DECAPODA NATANTIA) OF THE AMERICAS. I. THE SUBFAMILIES EURYRHYNCHINAE AND PONTONIINAE By LIPKE B. HOLTHUIS Research Associate Allan Hancock Foundation INTRODUCTION Heretofore our knowledge of the American Palaemonidae was so confused, and the descriptions of and remarks on the several species scattered over such a large number of more or less important papers, that it was very difficult to get a correct idea of the size, the status, and the distribution of the various species. When beginning the study of the Palaemonid material collected by the Allan Hancock Expeditions during the years 1931-1941, it at first was the intention to restrict this study to the West-American forms. This, however, soon proved to be very inconvenient. In the first place, the material, though for the far greater part collected along the Pacific shores of America, contained several items, collected during the 1939 Expedition in the Caribbean Sea, which were too important to remain unpublished, but not important enough to justify separate publication. Secondly, the study of the West-American material (especially of the species of the genus Macrobrachium) proved to be impossible without a thorough knowledge of the East-American species. The study of the latter, however, brought so many new factors to light, that it was thought desirable to give a revision of all the American representatives of the present family. The present paper therefore contains a complete list of all known American Palaemonidae, with keys to all genera and species, giving the full synonymy and the distribution of each species. Furthermore a description and figures of each species, if possible, are given. It is hoped to contribute in this way to a better understanding of one of the most important groups of Caridea. This report is based in the first place on the extensive and well preserved collections made by the Allan Hancock Expeditions during the years 1931-1938, 1940, 1941 along the Pacific American coast from California to Peru, the Galapagos Islands and that of 1939 to the [l] 2 ALLAN HANCOCK FOUNDATION OCCASIONAL PAPERS Caribbean Sea. Also the extensive American material of the United States National Museum at Washington, D.C., was studied, just like the material present in the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie at Leiden, Holland, and the Zoological Museum at Amsterdam, Hol­ land. Furthermore, specimens of this group, among which several types, in the Museum of the Academy of Natural Sciences at Philadelphia, Pa. and the American Museum of Natural History at New York and the Istituto e Museo di Zoologia della Universita. at Turin, Italy were examined. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The present study was made possible by the Allan Hancock Founda­ tion, who gave me the opportunity to study their material in the U. S. National Museum at Washington, D.C. during a year. I should like to express here my deepest gratitude to Dr. Waldo L. Schmitt, head curator of the Zoology Department of the U. S. National Museum, for his kindness and interest shown on every occasion and for the troubles he took in making it possible for me to visit the United States and study the above mentioned material. At the same time I tender my best thanks to Prof. Dr. H. Boschma, director of the Rijksmuseum van Natuur­ lijke Historie, Leiden, Holland, without whose recommendations and help I never should have been able to spend this year in the United States. Furthermore I am much indebted to the directors of the above mentioned Museums for placing their material at my disposal, which certainly has been a great help for the preparation of this report. I also am very grateful to Dr. Fenner A. Chace, curator of Marine Inverte­ brates at the U. S. National Museum, Dr. John C. Armstrong, assistant curator of Invertebrates of the American Museum of Natural History, and Mr. J. Parker of the Museum of the Academy of Natural Sciences at Philadelphia, for their kind assistance during my visits to their Museums. Type material of Palaemonid species was sent on my request by the Carnegie Museum at Pittsburgh, Pa. and the Museum of Zoology of the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, Mich., for which I am much indebted to the directors. I am also indebted to Dr. Teresita Paulucci Maccagno of the Istituto e Museo di Zoologia della Uni­ versita at Turin. Mr. Joel W. Hedgpeth provided me with material and data on the distribution and literature of various forms, for which I wish to tender him my best thanks. NO. 11 HOLTHUIS : PALAEMONIDAE OF AMERICAS, PART I 3 For reasons of convenience the present paper deals only with the subfamilies Euryrhynchinae and Pontoniinae, while the subfamily Pa- laemoninae will be dealt with in a separate paper. A bibliography will be given at the end of the second paper. Family Palaemonidae The family Palaemonidae may be divided into four subfamilies, three of which occur in American waters. The fourth subfamily Typhlo- caridinae is only known from subterranean waters of the Mediterranean region. The three subfamilies, which have representatives in America may be distinguished as follows: 1. Upper antennular flagellum with the two rami free throughout their length. Second pleopods of males without appendix mascu- lina. Appendix interna absent from second pleopod in females. No pleurobranch on third maxilliped. Euryrhynchinae l1. Upper antennular flagellum with the two rami fused in their basal part. Appendix masculina generally present on second pleopod of male. Appendix interna on second pleopod of female 2 2. Pleurobranch absent from third maxilliped. Posterior margin of telson with three pairs of spines (in Anchistioides 1 or 2 pairs only are present there) Pontoniinae 21. Pleurobranch present on third maxilliped. Posterior margin of telson with two pairs of spines and one or more pairs of setae Palaemoninae Subfamily Euryrhynchinae This subfamily has been erected for the genus Euryrhynchus which formerly was placed in the subfamily Palaemoninae. Examination of specimens of Euryrhynchus wrzesniowskii namely showed that it could not be maintained in the latter subfamily. The main differences with the Palaemoninae are the absence of pleurobranchs from the bases of the third maxillipeds, the shape of the antennulae and that of the pleopods and uropods. The Euryrhynchinae are most closely related to the subfamily Typhlocaridinae, with which they have the shape of the rostrum, of the telson, of the eyes and the mouthparts in common, while also the branchial formula of the two subfamilies is the same. The Typhlocaridinae, may be recognized from the Euryrhynchinae, and from the two other subfamilies as well, by the presence of a longi- 4 ALLAN HANCOCK FOUNDATION OCCASIONAL PAPERS tudinal suture on the carapace extending from the antennal region of the anterior margin of the carapace backwards over the whole length of the carapace. The subfamily Euryrhynchinae is distinguished from all other subfamilies of the Palaemonidae by having the two rami of the upper antennular flagellum free throughout their length and by the features of the pleopods mentioned in the key. It contains only one genus: Genus EURYRHYNCHUS Miers, 1877 Definition: The rostrum is short, depressed and toothless. The carapace is smooth, provided with an antennal spine only. The antero­ lateral angle of the carapace is produced. The abdomen is smooth. The dorsal surface of the telson possesses two pairs of spinules. The posterior margin of the telson is broad and rounded, it bears two pairs of spinules and numerous hairs. The eyes are reduced in size, but provided with pigment. The antennulae have the stylocerite short and blunt, the antero­ lateral angle of the basal segment is strongly produced. The upper antennular flagellum has the shorter ramus entirely free from the longer. The mandible bears no palp. All maxillipeds are provided with exopods. The second maxilliped bears a podobranch, the third maxilliped an arthrobranch. All pereiopods are provided with pleurobranchs. The first legs are slender. The second pair is strong and unequal in strength. The last three legs are slender. The dactylus is biunguiculate. The propodus is provided with posterior spinules. The propodus of the fifth leg has transverse rows of hairs in the distal part of the posterior margin. The second pleopods of the male have no appendix masculina, while small appendices internae are present on the second to fifth pleopods. In the female, appendices internae are present only on the third to fifth pleopods. The exopod of the uropod is provided with a row of spinules running inwards from the end of the straight outer margin. The peduncle of the uropod bears a blunt process, which reaches over the bases of the exo- and endopod. Type: Euryrhynchus wrzesniowskii Miers. The genus is only known from fresh water of northern South Amer­ ica. It contains two species: 1. Rostrum not reaching beyond eyes.

  • To Sea Anemones
    BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE. 30(2): 460-466. 1980 CORAL REEF PAPER ACCLIMATION OF TWO SHRIMPS OF THE GENUS PERICLIMENES TO SEA ANEMONES Daniel M. Levine and Orland J. Blanchard, Jr. ABSTRACT Through an acclimation behavior, Peric/imenes rathbunae Schmitt and Periclimenes an- thaphi/us Holthuis and Eibl-Eibesfeldt acquire protection from the tentacles of their respec- tive host sea anemones, Staichactis helianthus (Ellis) and Candy/actis gigantea (Weinland). Laboratory experiments have shown that after a period of isolation from the host these shrimps lose their protection from nematocysts. Unacclimated (=unprotected) shrimps were stung by anemones with and without shrimps living with them, while acclimated (=protected) shrimps were not stung by anemones, with or without shrimps. Many shrimp species belonging to the family Palaemonidae are found in sym- biotic association with other invertebrates, including actinians (Chace, 1958, 1972; Mahnken, 1972; Sargent and Wagenbach, 1975; Herrnkind, Stanton, and Conklin, 1976), scyphozoans (Bruce, 1972a), zoantharians (Bruce, 1973), antipatharians (Davis and Cohen, 1968), anthozoans (Bruce, 1972b), echinoids (Bruce, 1972c; Castro, 1974), and molluscs (Shoup, 1972; Bruce, 1975). In the shrimp genus Periclimenes some species associate with sea anemones while others, in addition to living with sea anemones, are cleaning symbionts of reef fishes (Chace, 1958; Limbaugh, Pederson, and Chace, 1961; Feder, 1966; Mahnken, 1972; Sargent and Wagenbach, 1975). Several of these invertebrate hosts, most notably sea anem- Ones, possess stinging nematocysts that are utilized in prey capture, but their shrimp symbionts are apparently not affected by them (Feder, 1966; Mahnken, 1972; Herrnkind et al. 1976). It is clear that the exoskeleton of the shrimps per se do not protect them from the nematocysts of sea anemones.

  • Notes on Fishes from the Gulf of Nicoya, Costa Rica
    Rev. Biol. .• 19( 1. 2): 59-71, 1971 Trop Notes on fishes from the Gulf of Nicoya, Costa Rica by Donald S. Erdman':;' (Received for publication September 13, 1968) From March 1951 through March 1953, I fished for the market in Puno tarenas and collected more than 500 fish specimens and 70 species for the Field Museum of Natural History. This paper concerns information on life histories, migrations, habits and ecology of marine fishes. Of particular interest are notes on blacktip, hammerhead and bonnethead sharks; sawfish, stingrays and mantas; sea catfishes, floating cIingfish, crevalle jack, corbina, sierra and Pacific bonito. Fifty-five fish species are discussed in phylogenetic order, in accordance with BAILEY al. (1). The reader is referred to BUSSING (4) for fresh· et water fishes and BUSSING (5) for marine fish families with sorne vernacular Spanish names. The Gulf of Nicoya is estuarine, with extensive areas of shallow mud bottom. Tidal currents are strong. The difference between high and low tides is 7 feet for neaps and 11 feet for springs. For the purposes of this paper the inner Gulf waters are northwestward of a hypothetical line drawn southwestward from Puntarenas along the north coast of San Lucas Island, where the Gulf narrows, to the coast of Nicoya. Most of these waters are less than 10 fathoms. Fishes characteristic of the inner Gulf were bonnethead sharks, guitarfish, stingrays, eagle rays, ladyfish, anchovies, marine catfishes, toadfish, snooks, groupers, jacks, grunts, corbina and mullets. The outer Gulf south of P�tarenas is open to the ocean and the water is cIearer.

These as- sociations range from weak epibiosis to obligatory endosymbiosis and from restricted commensalism to semi-parasitism. On coral reefs, such symbiotic shrimps can contribute to the associated biodiversity of reef corals. Among the host taxa, mushroom corals (Cnidaria: Anthozoa: Fungiidae) are known to harbour various groups of symbionts, including shrimps. Some but not all of these associated species are host-specific. Because data on the host specificity of shrimps on mushroom corals are scarce, shrimp spe- cies of the genus Periclimenes were collected from mushroom corals during fieldwork in Lembeh Strait, © RAUCH ET AL., 2019 | doi:10.1163/18759866-20191357 This is an open access article distributed under the terms of the prevailing cc-by license at the time of publication.

    Periclimenes yucatanicus and Periclimenes rathbunae on unusual corallimorph hosts Received: 21 July 2006 / Accepted: 27 October 2006 Published online: 7 February 2007 Ó Springer-Verlag 2007 Symbiosis is a key process that is necessary for the survival of many coral reef organisms, yet little is known about the host range of many invertebrate symbionts. Periclimenes yucatanicus is a symbiotic shrimp that is most often associated with the anemones Stichodactyla helianthus, Bartholomea annulata, Lebrunia danae and Condylactis gigantea (Herrnkind et al. 1976; Limbaugh et al. 1961; Mahnken 1972) and on St Croix, USVI and on Martinique this shrimp was reported to associate with the corallimorph Rhodactis sanctithomae (a synonym of Actinotryx sanctithomae) (Spotte et al. 1991; Williams and Williams 1982). In 2004, we observed this shrimp on Actinotryx sp. at a depth of 6 m at Bocas Del Toro, Panama (Fig. 1a). Periclimenes rathbunae is known to associate with the anemones S. helianthus, B. annulata, L. danae, and Homostichanthus duerdeni (Mercado and Capriles 1982; Spotte et al. 1991). In 2006 in Belize we observed this shrimp associating with the corallimorph, Ricordea florida (Fig. 1b). Even though this association between Periclimenes spp. and a corallimorph is only the third such report since 1982, it is probably an indication of a wider host breadth for these shrimp than is known from the literature. The symbiotic advantage that Periclimenes spp. give their host (or vice-versa) is unknown. Which ecological processes drive host switching and whether these shrimps have locally adapted to different hosts in certain regions remains unstudied. Acknowledgments Thanks to Koty Sharp and Andrew Rhyne for reviewing this note, and to Sammy De Grave and Ha-Rim Cha for their identification of shrimp and corallimorphs, respectively.

  • Host Switch by the Caribbean Anemone Shrimp Periclimenes Rathbunae in Curac¸Ao
    Reef sites Host switch by the Caribbean anemone shrimp Periclimenes rathbunae in Curac¸ao The anemone shrimp Periclimenes rathbunae Schmitt, 1924 (family Palaemonidae), is a common associate of shallow- water anthozoans in the tropical western Atlantic. It has been reported from several sea anemone species, an octocoral, a corallimorpharian, and a scleractinian coral (Brinkmann and Fransen 2016). During a coral reef survey in Curac¸ao (1 April 2014), a previously unknown association was found between an individual of P. rathbunae and a lettuce slug, Elysia crispata Mo¨rch, 1863 (Fig. 1). It occurred on the reef slope (6–8 m deep) of Playa Kalki on the island’s northwestern tip (12°22¢30†N, 69°09¢28†W), where this slug appeared to be abundant (ca. 40 observed individuals per 1-h dive). The shrimp’s blue coloration matched that of its host, but it is usually dark red-brown (see, e.g., Brinkmann and Fransen 2016; Horka´ et al. 2016). Elysia crispata is a polymorphic sacoglossan sea slug (infraclass Opisthobranchia) that eats algae in a wide range of habitats (Krug et al. 2016). In this case, the shrimp was positioned on top of its host between the dorsal frills, as if riding it (Fig. 1a, b). Periclimenes rathbunae is the second shrimp species re- corded as associate of an opisthobranch gastropod and the first one in the Atlantic. The other shrimp, Zenopontonia rex (Kemp, 1922), lives on Indo-Pacific reefs and is famous under its junior synonym, Periclimenes imperator Bruce, 1967. This species lives with echinoderm hosts as a juvenile but changes to nudibranch hosts as it matures (Horka´ et al.

Box 2060 San Pedro de Montes de Oca, Costa Rica [email protected] Resumen.- Durante las épocas seca y lluviosa de 1997 se Abstract.- The trophic dynamics of the plankton from the analizó la dinámica trófica del plancton en el Golfo de Nicoya, Gulf of Nicoya, a tropical estuary in the Pacific coast of Costa costa Pacífica de Costa Rica. En dos profundidades de Rica, was conducted during dry and rainy seasons of 1997. penetración de luz se determinaron la temperatura del agua, Water temperature, oxygen and salinity were measured at two salinidad y oxígeno disuelto. En cada profundidad se different light penetration depths. Inorganic nutrients, total and cuantificaron los nutrientes inorgánicos, biomasa nannophytoplanktonic chlorophyll a were determined at each fitoplanctónica total y nanofitoplanctónica, recolectándose depth and additional samples were taken for phytoplankton muestras para análisis taxonómicos fitoplanctónicos. Se taxonomic work. Oblique zooplankton hauls were done and realizaron arrastres oblicuos para estimar abundancias, abundance, composition and dry weight of zooplankton were composición y peso seco del zooplancton. La estimación determined. Indirect grazing rate estimate was calculated using indirecta de la tasa de herbivoría se realizó utilizando el the pigment budget.
