ZooKeys 942: 1–19. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.942.50399 Abstract A new species, Hyalella tepehuana sp. nov., is described from Durango state, Mexico, a region where stud- ies on Hyalella have been few. This species differs from most species of the North and South American genus Hyalella in the number of setae on the inner plate of maxilla 1 and maxilla 2, characters it shares with Hyalella faxoni Stebbing, 1903. Nevertheless, H. faxoni, from the Volcan Barva in Costa Rica, lacks a dorsal process on pereionites 1 and 2. Also, this new species differs from other described Hyalella species in Mex- ico by the shape of the palp on maxilla 1, the number of setae on the uropods, and the shape of the telson.

Seidel Candidate for the Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Director Dr. David J. Berg Reader Dr. Brian Keane Reader Dr. Nancy G. Solomon Reader Dr. Bruce A. Steinly Jr. Graduate School Representative Dr. A. John Bailer ABSTRACT CONSERVATION BIOLOGY OF THE GAMMARUS PECOS SPECIES COMPLEX: ECOLOGICAL PATTERNS ACROSS AQUATIC HABITATS IN AN ARID ECOSYSTEM by Richard A. Seidel This dissertation consists of three chapters, each of which addresses a topic in one of three related categories of research as required by the Ph.D. program in ecology as directed through the Department of Zoology at Miami University. Chapter 1, Phylogeographic analysis reveals multiple cryptic species of amphipods (Crustacea: Amphipoda) in Chihuahuan Desert springs, investigates how biodiversity conservation and the identification of conservation units among invertebrates are complicated by low levels of morphological difference, particularly among aquatic taxa. Accordingly, biodiversity is often underestimated in communities of aquatic invertebrates, as revealed by high genetic divergence between cryptic species. I analyzed PCR-amplified portions of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) gene and 16S rRNA gene for amphipods in the Gammarus pecos species complex endemic to springs in the Chihuahuan Desert of southeast New Mexico and west Texas. My analyses uncover the presence of seven separate species in this complex, of which only three nominal taxa are formally described. The distribution of these species is highly correlated with geography, with many present only in one spring or one spatially-restricted cluster of springs, indicating that each species likely merits protection under the U.S.

    Phylogenetic Analysis of Lineage Relationships Among Hyperiid Amphipods As Revealed by Examination of the Mitochondrial Gene, Cytochrome Oxidase I (COI) William E

    815 Phylogenetic analysis of lineage relationships among hyperiid amphipods as revealed by examination of the mitochondrial gene, cytochrome oxidase I (COI) William E. Browne,1,* Steven H. D. Haddock,† and Mark Q. Martindale1 *Kewalo Marine Lab, Pacific Biosciences Research Center, University of Hawaii, 41 Ahui St Honolulu, HI 96813, USA; †Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, 7700 Sandholdt Road, Moss Landing, CA 95039, USA Synopsis Among metazoans, crustaceans display the greatest disparity between body plans and are second only to the insects in overall species diversity. Within the crustaceans, the Amphipoda rank as one of the most speciose extant orders. Amphipods have successfully invaded a variety of ecosystems, including the pelagic midwater environment. Despite their abundance in varied and dissimilar habitats, and the use of traditional morphological and systematic comparative analyses, phylogenetic relationships among amphipods remain uncertain. The pelagic amphipods, hyperiids, have highly divergent life histories and morphological attributes in comparison to more familiar benthic, nearshore, intertidal, and terrestrial amphipods. Some of these adaptations are likely correlated with their pelagic life history and include features such as hypertrophied olfactory and visual systems, duplications of the eyes, and an array of modifications to the appendages. Many of these morphological features may represent homoplasies, thus masking the true phylogenetic relationships among extant hyperiid amphipods. Here, we sample a wide range of amphipod taxa for the COI gene and present the first preliminary molecular phylogeny among the hyperiids. Introduction benthic taxa Gammaridea, Caprellidea, Ingolfiellidea, Amphipoda [Crustacea; Malacostraca; Peracarida] and the exclusively pelagic midwater taxon is a monophyletic, species-rich, assemblage (Schram Hyperiidea (Martin and Davis 2001).

    Handbook Elasmopoides 627 Coxae ordinary, moderately setose, coxa 1 rectangular or weakly expanded, coxa 4 lobate. Gnathopods diverse, gnathopod 1 small, wrist of medium length, weakly lobate, hand slightly longer than wrist, rectangular, palm slightly oblique, gnathopod 2 enlarged in both sexes, wrist in female of medium length, weakly lobate, hand elongate, rectangular, palm oblique, in male wrist short, strongly lobate, hand much enlarged, palm very oblique, often plain but usually sculptured with specific tooth formulas, dactyl elongate or short, gently or deeply curved, occasionally riding onto medial face of hand; other variables present. Article 2 of pereopods 5-7 weakly expanded, scarcely to slightly lobate posteroventrally, naked, setulate or strongly setose posteriorly; pereopods 5-7 generally short and stout. Rami of uropods 1-2 extending equally or subequally, marginally spinose, peduncle of uropod 1 with basofacial spine. Uropod 3 scarcely extended, magni or variramous, occasionally almost parviramous, rami or at least outer ramus broad and short, outer ramus always strongly spinose, article 2 if present cryptically vestigial. Telson short to ordinary, deeply cleft, apically spinose, each lobe generally with naked apicomedial protrusion. Gills 2-6, broad. Oostegites slender. Relationship.--Differing from Maera in the falcate article 3 of the mandibular palp. Variations.--Urosome with tooth (neglectus, japonicus); basis of pereopods 5-7 unlobed (spinidactylus).
