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.

Crustacea, Copepoda, Harpacticoida): Proposed Emendation of Spelling to ZOSIMEIDAE to Remove Homonymy with ZOSIMINAE Alcock, 1898 (Crustacea, Decapoda, XANTHIDAE)
24 Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature 66(1) March 2009 Case 3467 ZOSIMIDAE Seifried, 2003 (Crustacea, Copepoda, Harpacticoida): proposed emendation of spelling to ZOSIMEIDAE to remove homonymy with ZOSIMINAE Alcock, 1898 (Crustacea, Decapoda, XANTHIDAE) Rony Huys and Paul F. Clark Department of Zoology, Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD, U.K. (e-mail: [email protected] and [email protected]) Abstract. The purpose of this application, under Articles 29 and 55.3.1 of the Code, is to remove homonymy between the family-group names ZOSIMINAE Alcock, 1898 (Crustacea, Decapoda) and ZOSIMIDAE Seifried, 2003 (Crustacea, Copepoda) by changing the spelling of the junior homonym. It is proposed that the entire name Zosime Boeck, 1873 (Copepoda) be used to form ZOSIMEIDAE, leaving the stem of the senior homonym (based on the name Zosimus A.-G. Desmarest, 1823; Decapoda) unchanged. Zosimus A.-G. Desmarest, 1823 and Zosime Boeck, 1873 are respectively the type genera of ZOSIMINAE Alcock, 1898 (Decapoda) and ZOSIMIDAE Seifried, 2003 (Copepoda). Keywords. Nomenclature; taxonomy; Crustacea; Decapoda; Copepoda; Harpacti- coida; XANTHIDAE; ZOSIMEIDAE; ZOSIMIDAE; ZOSIMINAE; Zosime; Zosimus; Zosime typica; cosmopolitan. 1. Leach (1818) introduced the French vernacular names ‘Carpile’, ‘Clodorée’ (sic) and ‘Zosime’ for three genera of decapod crustaceans but did not include a descrip- tion, definition or indication of the taxa they denoted (Leach, 1818, pp. 74–75). Under Article 12 Leach’s names are nomina nuda and must be considered unavailable. 2. A.-G. Desmarest (1823, p. 228) latinised Leach’s (1818) vernacular names in a footnote to his text dealing with the genus Cancer, naming them Carpilius, Clorodius and Zosimus, respectively. -

The Oceanic Crabs of the Genera Planes and Pachygrapsus
PROCEEDINGS OF THE UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM issued IflfNvA-QJsl|} by ^e SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM Vol. 101 Washington: 1951 No. 3272 THE OCEANIC CRABS OF THE GENERA PLANES AND PACHYGRAPSUS By FENNEB A. CHACE, Jr. ON September 17, 1492, at latitude approximately 28° N. and longitude 37° W., Columbus and his crew, during their first voyage to the New World, "saw much more weed appearing, like herbs from rivers, in which they found a live crab, which the Admiral kept. He says that these crabs are certain signs of land . "(Markham, 1893, p. 25). This is possibly the first recorded reference to oceanic crabs. Whether it refers to Planes or to the larger swimming crab, Portunus (Portunus) sayi (Gibbes), which is seldom found this far to the east, may be open to question, but the smaller and commoner Planes is frequently called Columbus's crab after this item in the discov erer's diary. Although these crabs must have been a source of wonder to mariners on the high seas in the past as they are today, the first adequate description of them did not appear until more than two centuries after Columbus's voyage when Sloane (1725, p. 270, pi. 245, fig. 1) recorded specimens from seaweed north of Jamaica. A short time later Linnaeus (1747, p. 137, pi. 1, figs. 1, a-b) described a similar form, which he had received from a Gflteborg druggist and which was reputed to have come from Canton. This specimen, which Linnaeus named Cancer cantonensis, may he the first record of the Pacific Planes cyaneus. -

151 Progress report: Studies on the behaviour of technetium (Tc-95m) in marine biota and sediments.** E. H. SCHULTE,* P. SCOPPA *, A. SECOND IN I+ *C.E.C., c/o ENEA/EURATOM, CREA S.TERESA, LA SPEZIA, ITALY, P.B. 316 + ENEA, CREA S.TERESA, LA SPEZIA Abstract The radionuclide Tc-95m has proved to be very useful as a tracer for experimental studies on the behaviour of technetium in the marine environ ment at realistic mass concentrations. It has been shown that, in agreement with thermodynamic considerations, the anion pertechnetate is the most sta ble chemical form of technetium in seawater and aerobic sediments. When hy drazine-reduced technetium is added to seawater, its oxidation to pertech netate occurs rapidly and does not follow simple first-order kinetics. In the presence of anaerobic sediments, pertechnetate present in seawater may be immobilized as highly insoluble compounds. Although redox conditions should be responsible for reduction and fixation of technetium, diffusion through the sediment could be a rate-limiting factor. Marine biota do not accumulate technetium to a remarkable extent, but in a few species relati vely high concentration factors have been observed. Since accumulation ki netics are generally slow, it is difficult to achieve steady-state condi tions in laboratory experiments; thus, the application of mathematical mo dels has proved useful in reducing the duration of the experiments aimed at obtaining concentration factors.

A Novel Interaction: the Thin Stripe Hermit Crab, Clibanarius
A NOVEL INTERACTION: THE THIN STRIPE HERMIT CRAB, CLIBANARIUS VITTATUS, KILLS THE FLORIDA CROWN CONCH, MELONGENA CORONA, FOR ITS SHELL by Jennifer Cutter A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Charles E. Schmidt College of Science In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, FL August 2017 Copyright by Jennifer Cutter 2017 ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank Florida Atlantic University, Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute, and Dr. Donna Devlin for giving me the opportunity to conduct this fascinating study. I would also like to thank the other committee members (Dr. Vincent Encomio, Dr. Edward Proffitt, and Dr. William Brooks) for their help, advice, and guidance. This work was made possible through funding from the Indian River Lagoon Research Fellowship awarded by the Harbor Branch Foundation and a scholarship awarded by The Broward Shell Club. Additionally, I would like to thank Dr. Richard Turner for being willing to meet with me on several occasions to answer questions and share his vast knowledge. iv ABSTRACT Author: Jennifer Cutter Title: A Novel Interaction: The thin stripe hermit Crab, Clibanarius vittatus, kills the Florida crown conch, Melongena corona, for its shell Institution: Florida Atlantic University Thesis Advisor: Dr. Donna Devlin Degree: Master of Science Year: 2017 The hermit crab Clibanarius vittatus kills Melongena corona solely to acquire a better fitting shell. This finding is contrary to previous studies, which found that hermit crabs of other species cannot kill gastropods or, in most instances, remove freshly dead gastropods from their shells. This interaction cannot be classified as predation because Melongena tissue was never consumed. -

Limpets of the species Patella caerulea were collected between April 2016 and April 2017 from two sites, and two samplings per each site with varying degree of exposure to wave action and anthropogenic pressure, in Eastern Mediterranean (Pagasitikos Gulf, Central Greece). This study addresses a knowledge gap on population characteristics of P. caerulea populations in Eastern Mediterranean, assesses population structure, allometric relationships, and reproductive status. Morphometric characteristics exhibited spatio-temporal variation. Population density was significantly higher at the exposed site. Spatial relationship between members of the population exhibited clumped pattern of dispersion during spring. Broadcast spawning of the population occurred during summer. Seven dominant age groups were identified, with the dominant cohort in the third-year -

Larval Growth
LARVAL GROWTH Edited by ADRIAN M.WENNER University of California, Santa Barbara OFFPRINT A.A.BALKEMA/ROTTERDAM/BOSTON DARRYL L.FELDER* / JOEL W.MARTIN** / JOSEPH W.GOY* * Department of Biology, University of Louisiana, Lafayette, USA ** Department of Biological Science, Florida State University, Tallahassee, USA PATTERNS IN EARLY POSTLARVAL DEVELOPMENT OF DECAPODS ABSTRACT Early postlarval stages may differ from larval and adult phases of the life cycle in such characteristics as body size, morphology, molting frequency, growth rate, nutrient require ments, behavior, and habitat. Primarily by way of recent studies, information on these quaUties in early postlarvae has begun to accrue, information which has not been previously summarized. The change in form (metamorphosis) that occurs between larval and postlarval life is pronounced in some decapod groups but subtle in others. However, in almost all the Deca- poda, some ontogenetic changes in locomotion, feeding, and habitat coincide with meta morphosis and early postlarval growth. The postmetamorphic (first postlarval) stage, here in termed the decapodid, is often a particularly modified transitional stage; terms such as glaucothoe, puerulus, and megalopa have been applied to it. The postlarval stages that fol low the decapodid successively approach more closely the adult form. Morphogenesis of skeletal and other superficial features is particularly apparent at each molt, but histogenesis and organogenesis in early postlarvae is appreciable within intermolt periods. Except for the development of primary and secondary sexual organs, postmetamorphic change in internal anatomy is most pronounced in the first several postlarval instars, with the degree of anatomical reorganization and development decreasing in each of the later juvenile molts.
