Sci., Tokyo, (52), pp. 65–94, March 28, 2018 Preliminary Report on the Octocorals (Cnidaria: Anthozoa: Octocorallia) from the Ogasawara Islands Yukimitsu Imahara1* and Hiroshi Namikawa2 1Wakayama Laboratory, Biological Institute on Kuroshio, 300–11 Kire, Wakayama, Wakayama 640–0351, Japan *E-mail: [email protected] 2Showa Memorial Institute, National Museum of Nature and Science, 4–1–1 Amakubo, Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305–0005, Japan Abstract. Approximately 400 octocoral specimens were collected from the Ogasawara Islands by SCUBA diving during 2013–2016 and by dredging surveys by the R/V Koyo of the Tokyo Met- ropolitan Ogasawara Fisheries Center in 2014 as part of the project “Biological Properties of Bio- diversity Hotspots in Japan” at the National Museum of Nature and Science. Here we report on 52 lots of these octocoral specimens that have been identified to 42 species thus far. The specimens include seven species of three genera in two families of Stolonifera, 25 species of ten genera in two families of Alcyoniina, one species of Scleraxonia, and nine species of four genera in three families of Pennatulacea. Among them, three species of Stolonifera: Clavularia cf. durum Hick- son, C. cf. margaritiferae Thomson & Henderson and C. cf. repens Thomson & Henderson, and five species of Alcyoniina: Lobophytum variatum Tixier-Durivault, L. cf. mirabile Tixier- Durivault, Lohowia koosi Alderslade, Sarcophyton cf. boletiforme Tixier-Durivault and Sinularia linnei Ofwegen, are new to Japan. In particular, Lohowia koosi is the first discovery since the orig- inal description from the east coast of Australia. -

Box 10712, Marine Parade 4056, Durban, South Africa. Key words: Mozambique; East African reefs; Octocorallia; Alcyonacea. A list of 46 species of Alcyonacea is presented for the coral reefs of the Segundas Archipelago and north- wards in Mozambique, as well as a zoogeographical record for the Bazaruto Archipelago in southern Mozambique. Among the 12 genera listed, Rhytisma, Lemnalia and Briareum were recorded on Mozambi- can reefs for the first time and the study yielded 27 new zoogeographical records. The survey brings the number of soft coral species listed for Mozambique to a total of 53. A latitudinal pattern in soft coral diversity along the south equatorial East African coast is presented, with 46 species recorded in Tanza- nia, 46 along the northern coast of Mozambique, dropping to 29 in the Bazaruto Archipelago in southern Mozambique and rising again to 38 along the KwaZulu-Natal coast in South Africa. -

Keywords: Ophiocoma, neotype, taxonomy, Ophiuroidea, Indo-West Pacific, Western Indian Ocean, KwaZulu-Natal. Abstract-This study raises the number of Ophiocoma species recorded in South Africa from four to eight. All species are briefly discussed in terms of taxonomy, geographic distribution and ecology. In addition, the juvenile of 0. brevipes, found on the underside of adult Ophiocoma brevipes specimens, is described in detail. A neotype is designated for 0. scolopendrina.

Habitat Distribution and Comparison of Brittle Star (Echinodermata: Ophiuroidea) Arm Regeneration on Moorea, French Polynesia

Autotomy and regeneration are widespread in many groups of invertebrates and vertebrates, such as annelids, crustaceans, amphibians, and reptiles. Regeneration is common in all classes of Echinodermata and prevalent in ophiuroid brittle stars. Moorea, French Polynesia was surveyed for species of brittle stars living on coastal areas of the island in different habitats. Ophiuroid populations were sampled in habitats such as a mangrove marsh, a sandy beach with coral rubble and a jetty with coral rubble and conglomerate coral to determine percentages with regenerating arms. Macrophiothix longipeda (Lamarck 1816) from the mangrove marsh and two populations of Ophiocoma scolopendrina (Lamarck 1816) from the beach and jetty were studied to determine if there were differences in experimental rates of arm regeneration after induced autotomization. Each habitat was colonized by distict ophiuriod assemblages and had different percentages of regenerating individuals; M. longipeda was found to be regenerating multiple arms simultaneously and had the highest rate of regeneration. Regeneration rates differed by species; mostly likely influenced by habitat, ecology and biology of each species. Key words: echinoderm, ophiuroid, brittle star, autotomy, regeneration, intact arms, regenerating arms, Macrophiothrix longipeda, Ophiocoma scolopendrina to normal energetic processes. -
