KORNICKER m i SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 553 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Folklife Studies Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs'submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review. Press requirements for manuscript and art preparation are outlined on the inside back cover. Robert McC.

Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology, number 553, 200 pages, 111 figures, 4 tables, 1994.—Thirty-five species (32 new) of bcnthic Myodocopina in 16 genera (4 new) collected at depths of 204-2900 m on the SE Australian continental slope under the auspices of the Museum of Victoria and Victorian Institute of Marine Sciences, Australia, are described and illustrated A comparison of the sensory bristle of the male 1st antenna of species of Rutiderma and Scleraner in the Rutidermatidae indicates that the extent of coverage of the bristle by filaments may be useful in separating males of the two genera. A study of medial sclerites of the protopodites of second antennae indicates that the Cypridinidae and Cylindroleberididae fall into one group, and the Philomedidae, Sarsiellidae, and Rutidermatidae into a second group. Some information is given on eggs, juvenile morphology, parasitic copepods, and gut contents. Eye size is compared to depth. A new subfamily, Metaschismatinae in the Rutidermatidae, is proposed.

  • Ostracoda an Introduction.Pdf
    The Ostracoda (from Wikipedia, 5/5/2009: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostracod) Ostracoda is a class of the Crustacea, sometimes known as the seed shrimp because of their appearance. Ostracods are small crustaceans, typically around one mm in size, but varying between 0.2 to 30 mm, laterally compressed and protected by a bivalve-like, chitinous or calcareous valve or "shell". The hinge of the two valves is in the upper, dorsal region of the body. Some 65,000 species (13,000 of which are extant taxa) have been identified, grouped into several orders. This group may not be monophyletic. Ostracod taxa are grouped into a Class based on gross morphology. Ecologically, marine ostracods can be part of the zooplankton or (most commonly) they are part of the benthos, living on or inside the upper layer of the sea floor. Many ostracods, especially the Podocopida, are also found in fresh water and some are known from humid continental forest soils. The body consists of a cephalon (head), separated from the thorax by a slight constriction. The segmentation is unclear. The abdomen is regressed or absent whereas the adult gonads are relatively large. There are 5–8 pairs of appendages. The branchial plates are responsible for oxygenation. The epidermal cells may also secrete calcium carbonate after the chitinous layer is formed, resulting in a chalk layer enveloped by chitin. This calcification is not equally pronounced in all orders. During every instar transition, the old carapace (chitinous and calcified) is rejected and a new, larger is formed and calcified. The outer lamella calcifies completely, while the inner lamella calcifies partially, with the rest remaining chitinous.

PARKER Division of Invertebrate Zoology, Australian Museum, 6 College Street, Sydney, NSW 2000, Australia [email protected] ABSTRACT. A new genus and two new species of Cypridinidae, Lowrya taiti and Lowrya kornickeri, are described from New South Wales, Australia. Both species are scavengers. They possess an elongate frontal knob and a structurally coloured red area on the rostrum of the carapace. The adult males of these species bear large compound eyes with very large dorsal ommatidia and very large "suckers" arising from cup-shaped processes near the base of the c-setae of the first antennae. Lowrya taiti possesses "coelotrichs", which are unusual evagination/setal sensillae of the carapace (Parker, submitted), and a concave anterior margin of the left rostrum only. Lowrya kornickeri is unusual because it bears an additional small "sucker" distal to the large basal "sucker" on the basal setule of the b-seta of the male first antenna.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The East China Sea is part of the Warm Temperate Northwest Pacific zoogeographic province and, as such, has a high biodiversity and many tropical and subtropical biotic elements. Nevertheless, many invertebrate groups from this area re- main poorly studied. Ostracods are one of them, especially those belonging to the subclass Myodocopa. In this paper we provide the first data on a diverse myodocopid family, Sarsiellidae, not only for the East China Sea, but also for Korea. Five species are reported in this paper from three Korean islands (Jeju, Chuja, and Maemul), and they are only a part of the ostracods collected during this study, indicating a high diversity of the group in this region. Three new species, Eury- pylus koreanus sp. nov., Eusarsiella hanguk sp. nov., and Sarsiella nereis sp. nov., clearly stand apart from their respec- tive congeners, mostly by prominent shell characters but also by details of the soft part morphology.

    Ostracoda from Johnston Atoll, Pacific Ocean, and Proposal of a New Tribe, Bruuniellini (Myodocopina: Cylindroleberididae)1 Louis S. Kornicker and Elizabeth Harrison-Nelson2 Abstract: Two new species of Ostracoda (Myodocopina), Parasterope pacifica Kornicker & Harrison-Nelson and Bruuniella beta Kornicker & Harrison- Nelson, from Johnston Atoll are described and illustrated. The ontogeny of the latter species is also described. In addition, the name Bruuniella alpha Kor- nicker & Harrison-Nelson is proposed for Bruuniella species A, previously de- scribed by Kornicker from the western Atlantic; a supplementary description of the species is provided. A new tribe, Bruuniellini, in the subfamily Cylindro- leberidinae, family Cylindroleberididae, is proposed to include the genus Bruu- niella, and keys are given to the two tribes in the subfamily and to the four known species of Bruuniella. The adult male of a species of the genus Bruuniella is described for the first time. Johnston Atoll lies in the central North were detonated over the atoll at altitudes of Pacific Ocean ca. 1,325 km WSW of Hono- 33, 76, and 200 km. Station locations are lulu, in the vicinity of 16 45 0 N, 169 31 0 W shown in Figure 1, and station data are pre- (Coles et al. 2001:1). It consists of a shallow sented in the Appendix.

This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Folklife Studies Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.
