[email protected] 1. Brief definition of the group and main diagnosing characters The Harpacticoida is one of the orders of the subclass Copepoda, and includes mainly free-living epibenthic aquatic organisms, although many species have successfully exploited other habitats, including semi-terrestial habitats and have established symbiotic relationships with other metazoans. Harpacticoids have a size range between 0.2 and 2.5 mm and have a podoplean morphology. This morphology is char- acterized by a body formed by several articulated segments, metameres or somites that form two separate regions; the anterior prosome and the posterior urosome. The division between the urosome and prosome may be present as a constriction in the more cylindric shaped harpacticoid families (e.g. Ectinosomatidae) or may be very pronounced in other familes (e.g. Tisbidae). The adults retain the central eye of the larval stages, with the exception of some underground species that lack visual organs. The harpacticoids have shorter first antennae, and relatively wider urosome than the copepods from other orders. The basic body plan of harpacticoids is more adapted to life in the benthic environment than in the pelagic environment i.e. they are more vermiform in shape than other copepods. Harpacticoida is a very diverse group of copepods both in terms of morphological diversity and in the species-richness of some of the families. -
Taxonomy, Biology and Phylogeny of Miraciidae (Copepoda: Harpacticoida)
TAXONOMY, BIOLOGY AND PHYLOGENY OF MIRACIIDAE (COPEPODA: HARPACTICOIDA) Rony Huys & Ruth Böttger-Schnack SARSIA Huys, Rony & Ruth Böttger-Schnack 1994 12 30. Taxonomy, biology and phytogeny of Miraciidae (Copepoda: Harpacticoida). - Sarsia 79:207-283. Bergen. ISSN 0036-4827. The holoplanktonic family Miraciidae (Copepoda, Harpacticoida) is revised and a key to the four monotypic genera presented. Amended diagnoses are given for Miracia Dana, Oculosetella Dahl and Macrosetella A. Scott, based on complete redescriptions of their respective type species M. efferata Dana, 1849, O. gracilis (Dana, 1849) and M. gracilis (Dana, 1847). A fourth genus Distioculus gen. nov. is proposed to accommodate Miracia minor T. Scott, 1894. The occurrence of two size-morphs of M. gracilis in the Red Sea is discussed, and reliable distribution records of the problematic O. gracilis are compiled. The first nauplius of M. gracilis is described in detail and changes in the structure of the antennule, P2 endopod and caudal ramus during copepodid development are illustrated. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that Miracia is closest to the miraciid ancestor and placed Oculosetella-Macrosetella at the terminal branch of the cladogram. Various aspects of miraciid biology are reviewed, including reproduction, postembryonic development, verti cal and geographical distribution, bioluminescence, photoreception and their association with filamentous Cyanobacteria {Trichodesmium).

Styracothoracidae (Copepoda: Harpacticoida), a New Family from the Philippine Deep Sea
JOURNAL OF CRUSTACEAN BIOLOGY, 13(4) 769-783, 1993 STYRACOTHORACIDAE (COPEPODA: HARPACTICOIDA), A NEW FAMILY FROM THE PHILIPPINE DEEP SEA Rony Huys AB S T R A C T A new family is proposedto accommodateStyracothorax gladiator, new genus,new species, collected from 2,050-m depth in the Philippine Sea. The Styracothoracidaeis placed in the Cervinioidea on account of the fused rostrum, the setation of the antennaryendopod, the reductionof the maxillularyexopod, and the uniramousfifth legs in at least the female. A suite of synapomorphies,including the subchelatemaxilliped, suggestsa sister-grouprelationship with the cave-dwellingRotundiclipeidae. The primitive featuresof the Styracothoracidaeand the phylogeneticrelationships of the cervinioid families are discussed.

Females of Nudivorax todai gen. et sp. nov. possess a large area of flexible integument between the cephalosome and thc first pedigerous somite which is suggestive of a gorging feeding strategy. Main diagnostic characters separating the new genus from other Acgisthidae are provided by the unusually short caudal rami, the complete lack of intcgumcntal surface lamellae, and thc presence in the male of a linear array of pores along the rostra1 margin which appears to be sensory in function. Scabrantennayooi gen. et sp. nov. displays several similarities with Aegisthus aculeatus Giesbrecht, 189 1 but is highly distinctive in its male morphology which includes extremely atrophied mouthparts and a unique prehensile antenna. Jamstecia terazakii gen. et sp. nov. is only known from a singlc fcmale caught in the Okinawa Trough.Jamstecia gen. nov. is most closely related to Andromustax Conroy-Dalton & Huys, 1999 but can be distincguishcdon the basis of the elongate antennules, the antennary morphology, the ahscncc of lateral spinous processes on the cephalosome and swimming lcgs 2-4, and differenccs in the mandibular palp and armature of the maxilliped. -
Larval Assemblages Over the Abyssal Plain in the Pacific Are Highly Diverse and Spatially Patchy
Larval assemblages over the abyssal plain in the Pacific are highly diverse and spatially patchy Oliver Kersten1,2, Eric W. Vetter1, Michelle J. Jungbluth1,3, Craig R. Smith3 and Erica Goetze3 1 Hawaii Pacific University, Kaneohe, HI, United States of America 2 Centre for Ecological and Evolutionary Synthesis (CEES), Department of Biosciences, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway 3 Department of Oceanography, University of Hawaii at Manoa, Honolulu, HI, United States of America ABSTRACT Abyssal plains are among the most biodiverse yet least explored marine ecosystems on our planet, and they are increasingly threatened by human impacts, including future deep seafloor mining. Recovery of abyssal populations from the impacts of polymetallic nodule mining will be partially determined by the availability and dispersal of pelagic larvae leading to benthic recolonization of disturbed areas of the seafloor. Here we use a tree-of-life (TOL) metabarcoding approach to investigate the species richness, diversity, and spatial variability of the larval assemblage at mesoscales across the abyssal seafloor in two mining-claim areas in the eastern Clarion Clipperton Fracture Zone (CCZ; abyssal Pacific). Our approach revealed a previously unknown taxonomic richness within the meroplankton assemblage, detecting larvae from 12 phyla, 23 Classes, 46 Orders, and 65 Families, including a number of taxa not previously reported at abyssal depths or within the Pacific Ocean. A novel suite of parasitic copepods and worms were sampled, from families that are known to associate with other benthic invertebrates or demersal fishes as hosts. Larval assemblages were patchily distributed at the mesoscale, with little similarity in OTUs detected among deployments even within the same 30 × 30 km study area. -

This subseries will consist of original, illustrated, modern manuals on the identification, clas$ification, and general biology of the estuarine and coastal marine plants and animals of the northeastern United States. Manuals will be published 'at irregular intervals on as many taxa of the region as there are specialists available to collaborate in their preparation. The manuals are an outgrowth of the widely used "Keys to Marine Invertebrates of the Woods Hole Region," edited by R. 1. Smith, published in 1964, and produced under the auspices of the Systematics-Ecology Program, Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, Mass. Instead of revising the "Woods Hole Keys," the staff of the Systematics-Ecology Program decided to expand the geographic coverage and bathymetric range and produce the keys in an entirely new set of expanded publications.
