Pawson n, Doris J. Pawson National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, WA DC 20013-7012, USA article info abstract Available online 24 January 2013 In a survey of the bathyal echinoderms of the Bahama Islands region using manned submersibles, Keywords: approximately 200 species of echinoderms were encountered and documented; 33 species were Echinodermata echinoids, most of them widespread in the general Caribbean area. Three species were found to exhibit Echinoidea covering behavior, the piling of debris on the upper surface of the body. Active covering is common in at Bathyal least 20 species of shallow-water echinoids, but it has been reliably documented previously only once Covering in deep-sea habitats. Images of covered deep-sea species, and other species of related interest, are Bahamas provided. Some of the reasons adduced in the past for covering in shallow-water species, such as Caribbean reduction of incident light intensity, physical camouflage, ballast in turbulent water, protection from desiccation, presumably do not apply in bathyal species. The main reasons for covering in deep, dark, environments are as yet unknown. Some covering behavior in the deep sea may be related to protection of the genital pores, ocular plates, or madreporite. Covering in some deep-sea species may also be merely a tactile reflex action, as some authors have suggested for shallow-water species. Published by Elsevier Ltd. 1. Introduction body. The pedicellariae apparently do not play a significant role in the process of covering, or in retention of the debris (Reese, 1966; During the years 1983–1989, a collaborative effort involving Coppard et al., 2010).

By Frederick Chapman, A.L.S., F.G.S., Commonwealth Palaeon- tologist, and Francis A. Cudmore, Hon. Palaeontologist, National Museum. Plates XII-XV. Nearly 60 years ago Professor P. M. Duncan described the first Australian Cainozoic cidaroid before the Geological Society of London. During the next 20 years Professors R. Tate and J. W. Gregory published references to our fossil cidaroids, but further descriptive work was not attempted until the present authors undertook to examine the accumulated material in the National Museum, the Tate Collection at Adelaide University Museum, the Commonwealth Palaeontological Collection, and the private collections made by the late Dr. T. S. Hall, F. A. Singleton, the Rev. Geo. Cox and the authors. The classification of the Cidaridae is founded mainly upon living species and it is partly based on structures which are only rarely preserved in fossils. Fossil cidaroid tests are usually imperfect. On abraded tests the conjugation of ambulacral pores is obscure. The apical system is preserved only in one specimen among those examined. The spines are rarely attached to the test and pedicellariae are wanting. Therefore, in dealing with our specimens we have been guided mainly by the appear- ance and structure of ambulacral and interambulacral areas. Certain features used in our classification vary with the growth stage of the test : for instance, the number of coronal plates in vertical series, the number of ambulacral plates adjacent to the largest coronal plate, and sometimes the number of granules on the inner end of ambulacral plates.

Aceptado 04-XI-2014. Abstract: Taxonomy and ecologic biogeography of the irregular Echinoids (Echinoidea: Irregularia) from Mexico. Mexico owns 643 species of echinoderms, almost 10% of the known echinoderm species in the planet. Its geographic location -between the oceanic influences of the Western Central Atlantic and the Eastern Central Pacific- largely explains its enormous biological and ecological diversity. Research on echinoderms in Mexico began in the late nineteenth century; however, there are no reviews on its irregular echinoids. This work reviews the taxonomic and geographic information of irregular echinoids from Mexico, housed in four collections: 1) Colección Nacional de Equinodermos “Ma. Elena Caso Muñoz” from the Instituto de Ciencias del Mar y Limnología (ICML), Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM); 2) Invertebrate Zoology Collection, Smithsonian Museum of Natural History, Washington, D.C., United States of America (USA); 3) Invertebrate Collection, Museum of Comparative Zoology, University of Harvard, Boston, Massachusetts, USA and 4) Invertebrate Zoology, Peabody Museum, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut, USA.

    SINGAPORE BIODIVERSITY RECORDS 2017: 96 ISSN 2345-7597 Date of publication: 28 July 2017. © National University of Singapore Zebra crab on a sea-urchin at Changi Beach Subjects: Zebra crab, Zebrida adamsii (Crustacea: Decapoda: Brachyura: Eumedonidae); Sea-urchin, Salmacis sphaeroides (Echinoidea: Camarodonta: Temnopleuridae). Subjects identified by: Neo Mei Lin. Location, date and time: Singapore Island, Changi Beach; 25 June 2017; around 0600 hrs. Habitat: Estuarine. Intertidal seagrass meadow. Observers: Contributors. Observation: A single zebra crab with carapace width of about 10 mm was found on the surface of a sea- urchin, Salmacis sphaeroides (Fig. A & B). Remarks: Members of the eumedonid crabs are known obligates on sea-urchins. Zebrida adamsii is widely distributed throughout the Indo-West Pacific (Ng & Chia, 1999), and has been documented on one occasion in Singapore (Johnson, 1962). This is believed to be the first record of the species on Changi Beach. The host sea urchin was found with a naked inter-ambulacral zone (as indicated by the white arrow in Fig. A), which could be due to Z. adamsii feeding on the urchin’s tube-feet and tissues (Saravanan et al., 2015). This suggests that the crab is parasitic on the sea urchin. References: Johnson, D. S., 1962. Commensalism and semi-parasitism amongst decapod Crustacea in Singapore waters.

The fully developed larva has five pairs of Cameron, 1989; Young et al., 1989), and no complete red-pigmented arms (preoral, anterolateral,postoral, pos- ontogenetic sequence of larval development has been pub- lished for invertebrate.One of the terodorsal,and posterolateral);fenestrated triangular plates any deep-sea species whose have been described et at the bases of fenestratedpostoral and posterodorsalarms; early stages (Young al., 1989) is a small-bodied sea urchin with a complex dorsal arch; posterodorsalvibratile lobes; a ring Aspidodiademajacobyi, flexible that lives at in the of cilia around the region of the preoral and anterolateral long spines bathyal depths eastern Atlantic 1).
