Taxonomic Revision of Natatolana (Crustacea: Isopoda: Cirolanidae) © Copyright Australian Museum, 2006 Records of the Australian Museum (2006) Vol. 58: 133–244. ISSN 0067-1975 Taxonomic Revision of Natatolana (Crustacea: Isopoda: Cirolanidae) STEPHEN J. KEABLE Australian Museum, 6 College Street, Sydney NSW 2010, Australia [email protected] ABSTRACT. Natatolana Bruce, 1981 is one of the most speciose, widespread and abundant isopod genera occurring in marine environments. Species in the genus are ecologically important as scavengers and occasionally have a negative impact on commercial fisheries by feeding on catches restrained in traps, nets or on lines. The study of Natatolana species is hampered by difficulties in identification, inadequate descriptions and a lack of overall taxonomic revision. In this study, taxonomic, biogeographical and ecological information is reviewed for all 72 species of Natatolana now recognized worldwide. A revised generic diagnosis, a key to species, and diagnoses and synonymies for all species are presented. Phylogenetic relationships of the genus and species are discussed. Thirteen new species are described, 10 from Australia: N. brucei n.sp., N. buzwilsoni n.sp., N. debrae n.sp., N. femina n.sp., N. flexura n.sp., N. helenae n.sp., N. lilliput n.sp., N. rusteni n.sp., N. sinuosa n.sp., and N. zebra n.sp., and three from New Zealand: N. aotearoa n.sp., N. honu n.sp., and N. paranarica n.sp. Redescriptions or new illustrations are provided for an additional seven species. Lectotypes are designated for three species. Justification for placement of N. lurur and N. wullunya as junior synonyms of N. arcicauda and N. nammuldi, respectively, is presented. KEABLE, STEPHEN J., 2006.

  • Invertebrate ID Guide
    11/13/13 1 This book is a compilation of identification resources for invertebrates found in stomach samples. By no means is it a complete list of all possible prey types. It is simply what has been found in past ChesMMAP and NEAMAP diet studies. A copy of this document is stored in both the ChesMMAP and NEAMAP lab network drives in a folder called ID Guides, along with other useful identification keys, articles, documents, and photos. If you want to see a larger version of any of the images in this document you can simply open the file and zoom in on the picture, or you can open the original file for the photo by navigating to the appropriate subfolder within the Fisheries Gut Lab folder.

PALABRAS CLAVE: Nombres científicos, Nomenclatura binominal, CINZ, Taxonomía, Paleontología, Zoología. KEY WORDS: Scientific names, Binominal nomenclature, ICZN, Taxonomy, Paleontology, Zoology. RESUMEN Se presenta una recopilación de más de un millar de taxones de nivel género o especie, de los que 486 corresponden a fósiles y 595 a organismos actuales, que fueron nombrados a partir de personajes reales o imaginarios, objetos, compañías comerciales, juegos de palabras, divertimentos sonoros o expresiones con doble significado. Entre las personas distinguidas por estos taxones destacan notablemente los artistas (músicos, actores, escritores, pintores) y, en menor medida, políticos, grandes científicos o divulgadores, así como diversos activistas. De entre los personajes u obras de ficción resaltan los derivados de ciertas obras literarias, películas o series de televisión, además de variadas mitologías propias de las diversas culturas. Los taxones que conllevan una terminología erótica o sexual más o menos explícita, también ocupan un lugar destacado en estas listas. Obviamente, el conjunto de estas excentricidades nomenclaturales, muchas de las cuales bordean el buen gusto y puntualmente rebasan las recomendaciones éticas de los códigos internacionales de nomenclatura, representan una ínfima minoría entre los casi dos millones de especies descritas hasta ahora.

Feldmann (RMF, [email protected]) Department of Geology, Kent State University, Kent, Ohio 44242 ABSTRACT Discovery of a single specimen of cirolanid isopod from the Late Cretaceous of Lebanon permits definition of a new species, Cirolana garassinoi.

The evidence of a thin, apparently transparent Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/jcb/article/29/3/373/2548047 by guest on 02 October 2021 cuticle and three pairs of dermoliths suggests that the specimen died while in the pre-molt condition.

Eleven years full-time research experience in the marine sciences as a Research Associate at the Bermuda Biological Station. Independently developed investigations on the biodiversity, origins, evolution and biogeography of animals inhabiting marine caves. This habitat, accessible only through use of specialized cave diving technology, rivals that of the deep-sea thermal vents for numbers of new taxa and scientific importance. Led research expeditions for studies of the biology of marine and freshwater caves to the Bahamas, Belize, Mexico, Jamaica, Dominican Republic, Canary Islands, Iceland, Mallorca, Italy, Romania, Czechoslovakia, Galapagos, Hawaii, Guam, Palau, Tahiti, Cook Islands, Niue, Tonga, Western Samoa, Fiji, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, New Zealand, Australia, Philippines, China, Thailand and Christmas Island; in addition to 9 years of studies on Bermuda's marine caves. Discovered 3 new orders (of Peracarida and Copepoda), 8 new families (of Isopoda, Ostracoda, Caridea, Remipedia and Calanoida), 55 new genera (of Caridea, Brachyura, Ostracoda, Remipedia, Amphipoda, Isopoda, Mysidacea, Tanaidacea, Thermosbaenacea, Leptostraca, Calanoida, Misophrioida and Polychaeta) and 168 new species of marine and freshwater cave-dwelling invertebrates. Published 243 scientific papers, most of which concern marine cave studies. First author on papers in Science and Nature, in addition to 10 invited book chapters on the anchialine cave fauna of the Bahamas, Bermuda, Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico, Galapagos, Tonga, Niue and Western Samoa.

THE principal object of the present Catalogue has been to give a complete list of the specimens of Crustacea contained in the collection of the British Museum, indicating, at the source from same time, varieties, locality, and the whence they have been derived. With this view, the different individuals of each species contained in the collection are indicated by the letters a, 6, c, &c., following the name of the species, and its synonymes. The habitat is given as particularly as the materials pos- sessed the but as have by Museum permit ; many specimens been procured from dealers, it is often impossible to give the place from whence they are derived, except in the most gene- ral terms. Those specimens which have been presented to the Mu- seum have the name of the donor marked immediately after the habitat, and in general, the collection from whence the specimen has been purchased, or procured in exchange, is also marked as it often some to its ; gives authenticity history.

The locality of the specimens, which are not at present contained in the collection, is recorded as given by the authority on which they are inserted. Those specimens which have been presented to the Museum have the name of the donor indicated. Synonyma have been added to the orders and other divisions of the class, as well as to the genera and species, with a reference to the work in which they have been indicated, and the date, when the different names and divisions were first used, is usually added, iv INTRODUCTION. to enable the student to trace the history of the divisions and species, and at the same time to show the priority of the different names which have been employed.
