The present study reports on the squat lobster genus Munida Leach, 1820 (Anomura: Munididae) collected in the Ogasawara Islands during the Project “Studies on the Origin of Bio- diversity in the Sagami Sea Fossa Magna Element and the Izu-Ogasawara (Bonin) Arc” in 2006–2010, carried out by the National Museum and Nature and Science. Six species were iden- tified, including four new species: M. disiunctus sp. nov., M. honshuensis Benedict, 1902, M. koyo sp. nov., M. longinquus sp. nov., M. munin sp. nov., and M pectinata Macpherson and Ma- chordom, 2005. The two previously described species are newly recorded from the area, of them M. pectinata is first recorded from waters outside New Caledonia. Affinities of the four new spe- cies are discussed.

ZooKeys 935: 25–35. https://doi. org/10.3897/zookeys.935.51931 Abstract Hendersonida parvirostris sp. nov. is described from Papua New Guinea. The new species can be distin- guished from the only other species of the genus, H. granulata (Henderson, 1885), by the fewer spines on the dorsal carapace surface, the shape of the rostrum and supraocular spines, the antennal peduncles, and the length of the walking legs. Pairwise genetic distances estimated using the 16S rRNA and COI DNA gene fragments indicated high levels of sequence divergence between the new species and H. granulata. Phylogenetic analyses, however, recovered both species as sister species, supporting monophyly of the genus. Keywords Anomura, mitochondrial genes, morphology, West Pacific Introduction Squat lobsters of the family Munididae Ahyong, Baba, Macpherson & Poore, 2010 are recognised by the trispinose or trilobate front, usually composed of a slender rostrum flanked by supraorbital spines (Ahyong et al.

  • Experimental Studies on the Feeding Ecology of Munida Subrugosa (White, 1847) (Decapoda: Anomura: Galatheidae) from the Magellan Region, Southern Chile
    SCIENTIA MARINA 71(1) March 2007, 187-190, Barcelona (Spain) ISSN: 0214-8358 Experimental studies on the feeding ecology of Munida subrugosa (White, 1847) (Decapoda: Anomura: Galatheidae) from the Magellan region, southern Chile PATRICIA KARAS1,2, MATTHIAS GORNY1 and RUBÉN ALARCÓN-MUÑOZ1 1 Instituto de la Patagonia, Universidad de Magallanes. Av. Bulnes 01890, Punta Arenas, Chile. E-mail: [email protected] 2 Institute for Polar Ecology, University of Kiel, D-24184 Kiel, Germany. SUMMARY: Feeding behaviour and food uptake rates of the anomuran crab Munida subrugosa from the southern Magellan region (Chile) were studied under laboratory conditions. Crabs exhibited a marked preference for meat versus macroalgae, with uptake rates being 14 times higher. Different algal species were ranked according to structure and detrital cover. Observations suggest that scavenging and cannibalism, restricted to injured or moulting individuals, are regularly applied in the natural habitat, whereas active hunting is only performed on suitable prey. The main food resource is suggested to be of microscopic origin, given the time spent on typical food uptake movements for detritus and suspended food. The findings of this study, backed up by results of simultaneously carried out stomach analysis, proved M. subrugosa to be an opportunistic feeder that can make use of different forms of food uptake. Key words: feeding habits, food choice, natural diet, anomuran crabs, Munida subrugosa.

Porter, and Pleuroncodes monodon, Milne Edwards, family Galatheidae. are harvested commercially off Chile. A commercial fishery began by exploiting the first spe­ cies bur. has gradually shifted to harvesting the second. The fishery for Pleuroncodes began in 1966 off San Antonio {L. 33°3S"SJ but has gradually moved southward and now extends to Talcahuano (37°S). There are two possible explanations for this shift in fishing area; (1) increased fishing pressure, and (2) changes in the natural environment. Some support for the second explanation is seen by simultaneous changes observed in other species which may be due to cyclic changes in the environment. Data on the fishery has been collected from 1%b to the present from the area between Coquimbo (30°S) and Talcahuano by the Fisheries Development Institute of Chile (Instituto de Fomento Pesquero, IFOP) by monitoring the fleet at landing ports and from research surveys.
