Cleantioides Longicornis, a New Species of Holognathidae (Crustacea, Isopoda, Valvifera) in the Yangtze Estuary, China http://www.paper.edu.cn Cleantioides longicornis, a new species of Holognathidae (Crustacea, Isopoda, Valvifera) in the Yangtze Estuary, China Wenliang Liu 1,3, Poore Gary C. B. 2, Jianjian Lu 1 1State Key Laboratory of Estuarine and Coastal Research, East China Normal University, Shanghai 200062, China 2Museum Victoria, GPO Box 666, Melbourne, Vic. 3000, Australia 3Institute of Oceanology, CAS, the Marine Biological Science Museum, Qingdao 266071, China Abstract Cleantioides longicornis, a new species, is described on the basis of specimens collected from Yangtze estuary, Shanghai, China. The new species can be distinguished from the closely related species, C. albaniensis Poore & Lew Ton, by the narrower antenna 2; a slightly notched pleotelson; arrangements of spines or pectinate spines on preopods. Key words: Isopoda, Holognathidae, Cleantioides, taxonomy, China Introduction The valviferan isopod family Holognathidae is characterised by a semicylindrical body of even width throughout, parallel-sided pleotelson more or less apically rounded, and a short pereopod 4 bearing numerous robust setae. Plesiomorphic features: four pleonites separated laterally, the greatest number of any valviferan; penes separate from the base; two uropodal rami (in two of the four genera); and a 5-articled five maxillipedal palp with articles 2 and 3 not articulating (Poore & Lew Ton, 1990). Cleantioides Kensley & Kaufman, 1978 is diagnosed by: the absence of the uropodal exopod (one ramus only); and antennae 1 and 2 flagella clavate, a minute article much smaller than peduncle article 3 in antenna 1 – features that distinguish it from Cleantis Dana, 1849 in particular (Poore & Lew Ton, 1990). Twelve species are known, from the eastern and northern Pacific, Caribbean and central eastern Atlantic, and South Africa (Table 1). Table 1.

In this paper we describe and illustrute a new species from the Yangtze River, southern China. The new species was discovered in the course of a survey of the Yangtze River. The relationship between the new species and the closely related species, Cleantioides albaniensis is discussed. The known species of Cleantioides differ scarcely at all in details of mouthparts and pleopods. Poore & Lew Ton (1990) described and illustrated two Australian species in detail. For the new species, these features are figured but not described in many words. Material and methods Specimens were collected by Agassiz trawl and then preserved in 75% alcohol. The drawings were made with the aid of drawing tube mounted on a Zezss Stemi Sv11 compound microscope. The following abbreviations are used throughout the text: TL, total length of body; SR@CWRC, the Specimen Room of Chongxi Wetland Research Center; NMV, Museum of Victoria.

  • Crustacea, Isopoda) Parasites Found in the Eastern Pacific of the United States
    -at AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Charles Garrison Danforth for the Doctor of Philosophy in Zoology (Name) (Degree) 'Major) Date thesis is presented April 12, 1963 ' Title "Bopyridian (Crustacea, __ Isopoda) parasites found in the eastern Pacific, of the United States " Abstract approved Major professor The study of the Epicaridea suborder of the Isopoda on the . west coast of the United States has not been extensive, with the result that there is much to be learned about the distribution, the life histories, and the genera present. In order to attempt an investigation of the Bopyridae in this obscure but interest- ing suborder, it was necessary to review the pertinent litera- ture covering at least the past century, and to determine the status of the eastern Pacific forms in relation to members from the rest of the world. Workers in other nations, notably England, France, India, Italy, Japan, Norway and Russia have written voluminously on the epicarids, and from this the author compiled a listing of the known genera and species comprising the Bopyridae family of the world. Despite similarities in latitude and temperature with bopyrid -rich areas elsewhere, the western United States marine waters seem to support remarkably few parasitic isopeds. It is assumed therefore, that the looped fauna might actually be quite plentiful, and that the apparent paucity is due only to a lack of field work. Collecting was done in Canada, Washington, Oregon, Calif- ornia and Hawaii. In the last locale, a new form (as yet un- named) was obtained. By experimentation carried out in aquaria, it was deter- mined that copepods (particularly Calanus) were the intermediate host of the west coast bopyrid Argeia Dana.

  • Species of Marine Isopoda (Crustacea, Peracarida) from Southern Brazil
    Bo lm Inst. oceanogr., S Paulo, 21:163-179, 1972 SPECIES OF MARINE ISOPODA (CRUSTACEA, PERACARIDA) FROM SOUTHERN BRAZIL Received January 3, 1972 PLfNIO SOARES MOREIRA Insti tuto Oceanográfico da Universidade de são Pau lo SYNOPSIS Some species of marine Isopoda collected in southern Brazil mostly in shallow-water and amongst seaweeds are studied. Five ipecies are discussed and illustrated. A diagnosis is given for each species. Idotea metallica and Synidotea marplatensis are new oc­ currences for the area, and both have had their geographical range extended to off Rio de Janeiro. The presence of Idotea balthica and Erichsonella filiformis in southern Brazil was definitely asserted. Illustrations of both sexes of Rocinela signata and details about its occurrence in the region surveyed were made. INTRODUCT ION The Isopoda fauna from the continental shelf of southern Brazil is still very poorly known. To minimize such lack of data, an intensive systematic survey has been conducted from Latitude 2l0 00'S to off Rio Grande do Sul. The first resu1ts have a1ready been pub1ished or sent to press (Moreira, 1971 a-d; 1972; 1973). The present paper is a report about specimens collected in shallow water, amongst debris of wood and leaves, or among seaweeds, be10nging to the following species: Idotea metallica, Idotea balthica, Synidotea marplatensis, Erichsonella filiformis and Rocinela signata.

The family Chaetiliidae, and genera Symmius and Colanthura are new to South Korea. We provide descriptions of the diagnostic characteristics, illustrations of three species and their partial sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (CO1) for molecular characteristics.
