  • Deuterostomes (Arxiv)
    ArXiv-Publication MICHAEL GUDO & TAREQ SYED Frankfurt am Main, 13.11.2008 100 Years of Deuterostomia (GROBBEN, 1908): Cladogenetic and Anagenetic Relations within the Notoneuralia Domain MICHAEL GUDO1 & TAREQ SYED2 Abstract Results from molecular systematics and comparative developmental genetics changed the picture of meta- zoan and especially bilaterian radiation. According to this “new animal phylogeny” (introduced by ADOUTTE et al. 1999/2000), GROBBEN´S (1908) widely favoured protostome-deuterostome division of the Bilateria can be upheld, but only with major rearrangements within these superphyla. On the cladogenetic level, the Protostomia are split into two unexpected subgroups, the Lophotrochozoa and Ecdysozoa. The deuterostomes are split into the subgroups Chordata and Ambulacraria, which is not novel since GROBBEN (1908) introduced the Deuterostomia in this way (together with the Chaetognatha as a third line). However, many details of the new deuterostome phylogeny do not fit traditional, morphology-based reconstructions. As a consequence, three relatively unexpected proposals for early deuterostome evolution are favoured today: An ambulacraria-scenario, a xenoturbellid-scenario, and a chordate-scenario. The first two proposals are often discussed in the literature, while the chordate-scenario is almost completely neglec- ted. Therefore, the paper presented focuses on the chordate scenario, i.e. the hypothesis of an acrania-like “ur-deuterostomian”. It is argued that the “acrania-hypothesis” is clearly preferable when biomechanic opti- ons of a polysegmented, hydroskeletal body plan are taken into account. The so called hydroskeleton hypo- thesis, rooted in the work of W. F. GUTMANN, is the most detailed anagenetic scenario which depicts an acrania-like ur-deuterostome. Moreover, it is the only morphology-based hypothesis which is in line with all of the unexpected molecular results of deuterostome evolution (i.e.

Miocene cerro Águila conglomerate of the cabo Domingo group. Three new genera and five new species are named: Asthenognathus australen- sis, new species; Miotymolus quadratus, new genus and species; Mursia fuegiana, new species; Pharkidodes agele, new genus and species; and Tierrapilumnus edseli, new genus and species. compilation of all described species of decapods from late oligocene to early pliocene exposures in 18 general localities in patagonia, southern argentina, and chile documents two paleobiogeographic provinces, argentine and chilean. coupled with evidence from the biogeographic patterns of associated mollusks, the faunas from Tierra del fuego have been assigned to the argentine paleobiogeographic province.

In this work, the stratigraphic distribution of all known species is summarized. Key words: Crustacea, Decapoda, Cenozoic, Belgium. RESUMEN Los crustáceos decápodos son comunes en estratos cenozoicos del noroeste y sur de Bélgica. En este trabajo se resume la distribución estratigráfi ca de todas las especies conocidas. Palabras clave: Crustacea, Decapoda, Cenozoico, Bélgica. INTRODUCTION SUMMARY OF MATERIAL Van Straelen (1921) provided a list of all decapod Eocene crustaceans then known from Cenozoic deposits of Belgium (Table 1).
