[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.

Se presenta como apéndice un listado completo de las especies (1978-1993), ordenadas taxonómicamente, así como de sus referencias bibliográficas. Como tendencias generales en este proceso de inventario de la biodiversidad se aprecia un incremento moderado y sostenido en el número de taxones descritos, junto a una cada vez mayor contribución de los autores españoles. Es cada vez mayor el número de especies publicadas en revistas que aparecen en el Science Citation Index, así como el uso del idioma inglés. La mayoría de los phyla, clases u órdenes mues- tran gran variación en la cantidad de especies descritas cada año, dado el pequeño núme- ro absoluto de publicaciones.

NMFS is also charged with the development and implementation of policies for managing national fishing grounds, development and enforcement of domestic fisheries regulations, surveillance of foreign fishing off United States coastal waters, and the development and enforcement of international fishery agreements and policies. NMFS also assists the fishing industry through marketing service and economic analysis programs, and mortgage insurance and vessel construction subsidies. It collects, analyzes, and publishes statistics on various phases of the industry. The NOAA Technical Report NMFS Circular series continues a series that has been in existence since 1941. The Circulars are technical publications of general interest intended to aid conservation and management. Publications that review in considerable detail and at a high technical level certain broad areas of research appear in this series. Technical papers originating in economics studies and from management in- vestigations appear in the Circular series.

Turbellarian research was largely ignored in Australia, apart from some early interest at the turn of the 19th century.

A background to the study of turbellarians is given particularly as it relates to the efforts of Cannon on symbiotic fauna, and his encouragement of visiting specialists and students.

We describe a new species collected from the stony coral Plesiastrea laxa in the Red Sea. Waminoa brickneri n. sp. can infest corals in high numbers, often forming clusters in non-overlapping arrays. It is bronze-colored, owing to the presence of two types of dinoflagellate endosymbionts, and speckled white with small scattered pigment spots. Its body is disc-shaped, highly flattened and cir- cular in profile except for a small notch at the posterior margin where the reproductive organs lie. The male copulatory organ is poorly differentiated, but comprises a seminal vesicle weakly walled by concentrically layered muscles, and a small penis papilla with serous glands at its juncture with the male pore.

Trokhymchuk (https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9570-0226) New Reports of Gastrotricha for the North-Eastern Ukraine. Trokhymchuk, R. R. — Gastrotricha is poor known phylum of small metazoans. Information about Ukrainian gastrotrichs’ fauna is outdated. Althogether nine species are reported in this paper. Seven taxa are new to the fauna of Ukraine: Chaetonotus (Hystricochaetonotus) hystrix, Chaetonotus (Primochaetus) heideri, Chaetonotus (Zonochaeta) bisacer, Lepidodermella minor minor, Lepidodermella squamata, Ichthydium maximum and Haltidytes festinans. This investigation gives an additional morphological information on Chaetonotus (Chaetonotus) maximus and Chaetonotus (Hystricochaetonotus) macrochaetus, which have been earlier reported to the Ukraine fauna but currently they recorded in Kharkiv Region for the first time. We provide short morphological description of all species and give some ecological notes. Key words: Gastrotricha, meiofauna, Ukraine, biodiversity. Introduction Gastrotricha Metschnikoff, 1865 are minute vermiform, acoelomate invertebrates. Metschnikoff classified these organisms as a Phylum (Metschnikoff, 1865) but some present investigations defined this group as a clade of Lophotrochozoa (Hejnol, 2015). Gastrotrichs are cosmopolitic species and can be found in all aquatic environments (Balsamo et al., 2008). However, we receive information about new species for science every year. In the sea gastrotrichs can rank third in abundance after nematodes and harpacticoid and in freshwater habitats they are among the top five most common taxa encountered.

Gastrotricha is a cosmopolitan phylum of aquatic and semi-aquatic invertebrates that comprises about 820 described species. Current knowledge regarding freshwater gastrotrichs inhabiting caves is extremely poor and there are no extant data regarding Gastrotricha from Montenegro. We describe a new species from Obodska Cave, which is also the fi rst record of a gastrotrich from this region. Due to its unusual habitat and morphological characteristics, this species may be important when considering the evolution and dispersion routes of Chaetonotidae Gosse, 1864 (sensu Leasi & Todaro 2008).

(Eds) (2012) Biodiversity of Invertebrates in Korea. Zootaxa, 3368, 1–304. Abstract Three new gastrotrich species of the genus Tetranchyroderma are described sublittoral sandy bottoms of the Yellow Sea and Jeju Island in South Korea. Tetranchyroderma aethesbregmum sp. nov., which has a dorsal cuticular armature with pentancres only, is characterized by the peculiar shape of the head with a median trapezoidal lobe flanking three pairs of papillae. Tetranchyroderma megabitubulatum sp. nov. is clearly differentiated from other pentancrous species by the character combination of three pairs of cephalic tentacles, a pair of long dorsolateral adhesive tubes, and paired ‘foot’ ventral adhesive tubes. Tetranchyroderma insolitum sp. nov. is the only species possessing cuticular armature with tetrancres and triancres mixed, and also characteristic in having an earlobeprotrusion at the posterolateral corners of head. Key words: Description, Gastrotricha, marine, South Korea, taxonomy Introduction The serial faunal studies on macrodasyidan gastrotrichs have been carried out in Korea, since Chang et al. (1998a) first recorded two Thaumastoderm species, T. copiophorum and T. appendiculatum. A total of 16 species from six genera in two families, Planodasyidae Rao & Clausen, 1970 and Thaumastodermatidae Remane, 1926 have been recorded from the Korean coast so far (Chang et al.
