Received: 7 April 2020; Accepted: 19 May 2020; Published: 23 May 2020 Abstract: The community composition of decapods associated with subtidal tropical seagrass meadows was analyzed in a pristine reef lagoon on the Mexican Caribbean coast in the summer of 1995 and winter of 1998. The macrophyte community was dominated by Thalassia testudinum followed by Syringodium filiforme, with interspersed rhyzophytic macroalgae and large patches of drift algae. In each season, 10 one-min trawls were made with an epibenthic sled (mesh aperture 1 mm) during the day and 10 during the night on each of five sites. In all, 53,211 decapods belonging to 119 species were collected. The most diverse taxa were Brachyura and Caridea, but the most abundant were Caridea and Anomura. Dominance was high, with three species (Latreutes fucorum, Cuapetes americanus, and Thor manningi) accounting for almost 50% of individuals, and 10 species accounting for nearly 90% of individuals. There was great similarity in community composition and ecological indices between seasons, but significantly more individuals and species in night versus day samples.

Alpheus margaritae sp. n. is closely related to A. antepaenultimus and A. mazatlanicus from the Eastern Pacific and to A. chacei from the Western Atlantic, but can be differentiated from these by a combination of characters, especially the morphology of the scaphocerite and the first pereopods.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Alpheopsis balaeniceps sp. nov. is described based on a single male specimen from Moorea, French Polynesia. The new species is unique within the genus Alpheopsis Coutière, 1896 in possessing balaeniceps-type setae on the fingers of both chelipeds, being especially well developed on the major chela. Within the family Alpheidae, this feature exists only in some species of the distantly related genus Alpheus Fabricius, 1798, however, only on the minor cheliped. This conver- gence between Alpheopsis and Alpheus is another example of the remarkable diversity and plasticity of the alpheid cheli- peds. Key words. Alpheidae, Alpheopsis, new species, alpheid shrimp, Pacific Ocean, French Polynesia Introduction Alpheopsis Coutière, 1897 currently contains 21 species of small to medium-sized alpheid shrimps, with a worldwide distribution (De Grave & Fransen 2011). Most species are found in shallow and moderately deep waters (0–100 m), although one Indo-West Pacific species was dredged from almost 800 m (Banner & Banner 1977). Alpheopsis remains taxonomically one of the most problematic alpheid genera. Anker et al. (2005) called Alpheopsis in its present definition a “heterogeneous and rather poorly defined species assemblage lacking distinct autapomorphies”.

Sanchiz (*) RESUMEN Durante el periodo 1978-1994 se han descrito cerca de 2.000 especies animales nue- vas para la ciencia en territorio ibérico-balear. 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.

Banners' Contributions to the Knowledge of the Family Alpheidae (Decapoda: Caridea)! RICHARD H. TITGEN 2 ABSTRACT: Albert H. and Dora M. Banner produced a total of43 documents (a thesis, a report, and 41 publications) on alpheid shrimp over a period of 47 yr. They studied the Indo-Pacific Faunal Region and focused on the systematics and zoogeography of the Alpheidae, a very large and complicated family. This paper summarizes the contributions to the systematic knowledge of the Alpheidae made by the Banners. It includes a bibliography oftheir publications and other documents, and three tables listing all alpheid taxa described by the Banners (three genera and 116 species), the nomenclatural changes made by the Banners, and "other" changes made or statements of explanation that assist in the understanding of alpheid systematics. All entries in the tables include the Banner reference in which the contribution was made. ALBERT HENRY (HANK) BANNER began study­ notes on color and environment.

Introduction taxonomy of Malacostraca taxa of Turkish inland waters since Malacostraca as one of the biggest class of Crustacea, the beginning of the 20th century (Vavra 1905; Coifmann comprises about 20.000 taxa distributing both in marine, fresh 1938), the first study by native scientists concerning the and ground water habitats. It has three subclasses which are taxonomy of freshwater Malacostraca species was by Geldiay Eumalacostraca, Haplocarida and Phyllocarida (Özbek and and Kocataş (1970), which concerned the Astacus Ustaoğlu, 2005). In Turkish inland waters, only peracarid and populations of Turkish freshwaters. Seven years later, the eucarid crustaceans of Eumalacostraca have been reported to same authors reported a study on freshwater crabs of Turkey date. (Geldiay and Kocataş, 1977) (Table 1).
