Brachycalanus flemingeri and B. brodskyi, two new copepods (Crustacea: Calanoida: Phaennidae) from benthopelagic waters of the tropical Pacific Frank D. Ferrari and E. L. Markhaseva (PDF) Department of Invertebrate Zoology, National Museum of Natural History; Smithsonian Institution; Washington, DC. 20560-0534, U.S.A.; (ELM) Russian Academy of Sciences, Zoological Institute; Universitetskaya nab. 1, 199034, St. Petersburg, Russia Abstract.—Brachycalanus flemingeri, new species, has three setae on coxal endite of maxilla 1, a bifurcate worm-like sensory seta on the exopod of max- illa 2, a distal, semicircular protrusion posteriorly on the basis of swimming leg 1, and lacks a medial seta on coxa of switnming leg 4. Brachycalanus brodskyi, new species, is differentiated by its large size, 4.0 mm, and a semi- circular row of small denticles distally and posteriorly on the basis of swim- ming leg 1. Brachycalanus ordinarius (Grice, 1972) is redescribed and sepa- rated from the remaining species by the exopod of maxilla 2 with a distally constricted worm-like seta with a small lobe near the point of constriction. All three species have nine sensory setae on the distal basal lobe plus exopod of maxilla 2; this number of sensory setae has been reported for one other phaen- nid copepod and several scolecitrichids. Suggested shared derived character states for the species oi Brachycalanus Farran, 1905 are epicuticular extensions of the female genital complex and the following two abdominal somites, and knife-like aesthetascs on female antenna 1.

Grievella shanki, a new genus and species of scolecitrichid calanoid copepod (Crustacea) from a hydrothermal vent along the southern East Pacific Rise Frank D. Ferrari and E. L. Markhaseva (FDF) Department of Invertebrate Zoology (MRC 534), National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560, U.S.A; (ELM) Russian Academy of Sciences, Zoological Institute, Universitetskaya nab. I, 199034, St. Petersburg, Russia Abstract.—Four derived states separate the calanoid copepod Grievella shan- ki, new genus and species, from other scolecitrichids: small integumental bumps on the genital complex; an ear-like extension on articulating segment 22 of antenna 1; two lateral setae on the distal exopodal segment of swimming leg 2; a denticle-like attenuation of the proximal praecoxal lobe of maxilla 2. The first probably is an autapomorphy for the species; the second, third and fourth are presumed synapomorphies for species of the new genus. The last derived state is convergent with some species of the calanoid superfamilies Epacteriscoidea, Centropagoidea and Megacalanoidea, but it is a synapomorphy within the Clausocalanoidea to which Grievella shanki belongs. Five setae on the proximal praecoxal lobe of maxilla 2 and three setae on the distal praecoxal lobe of the maxilliped separate Grievella shanki from species of Diaixidae, Parkiidae and Tharybidae, and species of Phaennidae, respectively. The states of these characters for Grievella shanki may be plesiomorphic to the states expressed in Diaixidae, Parkiidae, Tharybidae and Phaennidae so assignment of this species to the Scolecitrichidae is tentative. The number and kind of sensory setae on the distal basal lobe plus exopod of maxilla 2 alone are not adequate to diagnose the Scolecitrichidae, or to separate all of its species from those of the other families with these sensory setae.

    THOMAS E. BOWM The Distribution of Calanoid Copepods off r the Southeastern W United States Between Cape Hatteras and j Southern Florida SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY NUMBER 96 SERIAL PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION The emphasis upon publications as a means of diffusing knowledge was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. In his formal plan for the Insti- tution, Joseph Henry articulated a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This keynote of basic research has been adhered to over the years in the issuance of thousands of titles in serial publications under the Smithsonian imprint, com- mencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Annals of Flight Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes original articles and monographs dealing with the research and collections of its several museums and offices and of profes- sional colleagues at other institutions of learning. These papers report newly acquired facts, synoptic interpretations of data, or original theory in specialized fields. These publications are distributed by subscription to libraries, laboratories, and other in- terested institutions and specialists throughout the world. Individual copies may be obtained from the Smithsonian Institution Press as long as stocks are available.

(Copepada-Arietellidae) collected over the battom 01 the Brazilian continental shell is described and its taxanomic position is discussed. INTRODUCTION On redefining the Arietellidae Campaner (J 977) commented on the large number of new genera and species of copepods which he found in samples collected over the bottom of the Brazilian continental shelf. He started the study of these copepods adding new species to the Aetideidae, Phaennidae, Scolecithricidae and Arietellidae (Campaner, 1974, 1976, 1978a and b, 1979) . This paper results from the continuation of that work with the sarne series of samples. Twenty eight more samples were analyzed (Alvarez, 1981) and severa I new species found, among which a new Arietellid. Once more a rich fauna, as yet little known, was registered near to the bottom of the sea. MATERIAL Five adult females were analyzed from a sample taken at 135m depth, over the bottom of the Brazilian continental shelf (28°36'S-47°55 'W) at 21 :29 o'clock on the 22 nd June 1970. The plankton net used (0.67 mm mesh aper­ ture) was adapted to a special MBT dredge devised by Dr. Plínio Soares Moreira from the Instituto Oceanográfico of the University of São Paulo. The holotype and a paratype were placed in the Zoology Museum of the University of São Paulo numbered 5255 and 5256 respectively.

St. Petersburg, Russia Received 9 April 2004; Accepted 17 September 2004 Abstract: Three new benthopelagic species of Tharybis are described from two localities in the Pa cific Ocean: T. pseudomegalodactyla near Kona, Hawaii; T. juhlae near Kona, Hawaii, and from Vol cano 7; I sbuheiella from Volcano 7. The new species are distinguished from known species by the shapes of the genital complex of the female and the segments of the first and fifth leg, and the seta- tion of maxilla 1, maxilla 2 and maxilliped. There are now 25 nominal species of Tharybis. A distally vaulted praecoxal lobe of maxilla 1 is proposed as a synapomorphy for species of Tharybis; other possible synapomorphies are discussed. Key words: Tharybis, new species, Pacific Ocean, morphology, synapomorphies out comment: T. neptuni (Cleve 1905) originally described Introduction as a species of Scolecithricelkv.

The worm-like seta ends in an essentially naked, tapered tip, while the tip of the brush-like seta is fringed with slender filaments. The worm-like setae on the endopod of the maxilla are longer and originate more distally than the brush-like setae. In L frontalis both types of setae are innervated by <3 dendrites, with each dendrite giving rise to ca. 100-400 cilia. The number of'cilia in the worm-like seta is ca. 100-150 at the setal base and decreases distally, while that in the brush-like seta is ca. 100-700 and does not change along its length. The cuticle in the distal 3/4 of the worm-like seta is thin and electron sparse, but with many electron-dense particles of unknown origin at tached. The cilia in the brush-like seta project distally into the space surrounded by the brush-like filaments and are exposed directly to the ambient water.
