Introduction: The sea anemones diversity is still poorly studied in Isla del Coco National Park, Costa Rica. Objective: To report for the first time the presence of the sea anemone Exaiptasia diaphana. Methods: Some rhodoliths were examined in situ in Punta Ulloa at 14 m depth, by SCUBA during the expedition UCR- UNA-COCO-I to Isla del Coco National Park on 24th April 2010. Living anemones settled on rhodoliths were photographed and its external morphological features and measures were recorded in situ. Results: Several indi- viduals of E. diaphana were observed on rodoliths and we repeatedly observed several small individuals of this sea anemone surrounding the largest individual in an area (presumably the founder sea anemone) on rhodoliths from Punta Ulloa. -

Periclimenes Macrorhynchia Sp. Nov., a New Hydrozoan-Associated Pontoniine Shrimp (Crustacea, Decapoda, Palaemonidae) from North East Kalimantan, Indonesia

FRANSEN Naturalis Biodiversity Center, P.O. Box 9517, 2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A new species of pontoniine shrimp belonging to the ‘Periclimenes obscurus species group’ is described from the Berau Islands, North East Kalimantan, Indonesia. Specimens were obtained from aglaopheniid hydrozoans of the genus Macro- rhynchia. The new species is here described and figured. Its affinities with related species are discussed and a DNA-bar- code is provided. Key words: Crustacea, Decapoda, Palaemonidae, Pontoniinae, Periclimenes, new species, Hydrozoa, East Kalimantan, DNA-barcode, symbiont Introduction Within the large pontoniine genus Periclimenes Costa comprising over 150 species (De Grave & Fransen 2011), several species groups have been recognized. For some of these groups new genera were erected, e.g. Ancylomenes Okuno & Bruce, 2010 for the ‘Periclimenes aesopius species group’. For several of these species groups however, no solid morphological synapomorphies have been found to classify them in their own genus. Examples are the ‘Periclimenes iridescens species group’ known from the Atlantic and first distinguished by Heard & Spotte (1991), the ‘Periclimenes diversipes species group’ designated by Bruce (1989), the ‘Periclimenes granulimanus species group’ designated by Ďuriš (2010), and the ‘Periclimenes obscurus species group’ which was designated by Bruce (1987). -

Email: [email protected] Abstract: A new snapping shrimp, Alpheus zimmermani sp. nov. is described on the basis of a single specimen collected on a coral reef off Guana Island, British Virgin Islands, Caribbean Sea. The new species has some morphological similarities with A. bouvieri A. Milne-Edwards and A. leviusculus Dana, but differs from these taxa by the strong medio- dorsal carina reaching far beyond the mid-length of the carapace, several features on the chelipeds, and by the conspicuous colour pattern. Résumé : Alpheus zimmermani sp. nov., une nouvelle crevette pistolet très colorée (Crustacea : Decapoda) de la Mer Caraïbe. Une nouvelle espèce de crevette-pistolet, Alpheus zimmermani sp. nov., est décrite avec un seul spécimen récolté sur un récif de corail au large de l’île de Guana faisant partie des Îles Vierges Britanniques, dans la Mer Caraïbe. L’espèce nouvelle possède quelques similarités avec A. bouvieri A. Milne-Edwards et A. leviusculus Dana, mais diffère nettement de ces deux espèces par la carène médiodorsale très prononcée et atteignant la moitié postérieure de la carapace, par plusieurs caractères sur les chélipèdes, ainsi que par sa remarquable coloration.

Periclimenes Vanellus Spec. Nov., a New Sponge-Associated Pontoniine Shrimp (Decapoda, Caridea, Palaemonidae) from Indonesia
PERICLIMENES VANELLUS SPEC. NOV., A NEW SPONGE-ASSOCIATED PONTONIINE SHRIMP (DECAPODA, CARIDEA, PALAEMONIDAE) FROM INDONESIA BY CHARLES H.J.M. FRANSEN1) NCB — Naturalis, P.O. Box 9517, 2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands ABSTRACT A new sponge-associated species of the genus Periclimenes is described from Halmahera, Indonesia. The new species has some affinities with species from the Periclimenes iridescens and Periclimenes obscurus species complexes as well as with Phycomenes indicus (Kemp, 1915), but can easily be separated from these species by the very long upper antennular flagellum and antennal flagellum, and the distinctly spatulate second pereiopods. RÉSUMÉ Une nouvelle espèce du genre Periclimenes, vivant en association avec des éponges, est décrite à partir d’échantillons récoltés à Halmahera en Indonésie. Cette nouvelle espèce a des affinités avec les complexes d’espèces Periclimenes iridescens et Periclimenes obscurus ainsi qu’avec Phycomenes indicus (Kemp, 1915), mais peut facilement s’en distinguer par son très longue flagelle antennulaire supérieure son flagelle antennaire, et ses deuxièmes péréiopodes spatulés. INTRODUCTION The pontoniine genus Periclimenes Costa, 1844 at present contains 173 named species (De Grave et al., 2009) of which 152 are known from the Indo- Pacific. Except for a few free-living species, most members of the genus live in association with other invertebrates. Six sponge-associated Periclimenes species have thus far been recorded from the Indo-Pacific: P. burrup Bruce, 2007b, P. forcipulatus Bruce, 1991; P. incertus Borradaile, 1915; P. obscurus Kemp, 1922 (see Bruce, 2007a), P. rex Kemp, 1922, and P. ? zevinae Duris, 1990 (see Fransen, 1994). 1) e-mail: [email protected] © Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden, 2010 Studies on Malacostraca: 241-253 242 CRM 014 – Fransen et al. -

The new species, M. miyakoense, is compared with other five stygiobiont species of the genus char- acterized by a reduced eye, i.e. M. cavernicola (Kemp, 1924), M. villalobosi Hobbs, 1973, M. acherontium Holthuis, 1977, M. microps Holthuis, 1978, and M. poeti Holthuis, 1984. It is the first representative of stygiobiont species of Macrobrachium from East Asian waters. Key words: Crustacea, Decapoda, Caridea, Palaemonidae, Macrobrachium, new species, anchia- line cave, Miyako Island, Ryukyu Islands Introduction There are few stygiobiont species of the palaemonid genus Macrobrachium Bate, 1864 in the world, although the genus is one of the most speciose caridean genera, abundant in tropical fresh waters (Chace & Bruce, 1993). Holthuis (1986) listed six stygiobiont species of Macrobrachium, together with additional 12 stygiophile or stygoxene species. The six stygiobiont species are: M. cavernicola (Kemp, 1924) from Siju Cave in Assam, India (Kemp, 1924); M. -
<I>Bartholomea Annulata</I>
BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE, 37(3): 893-904,1985 CORAL REEF PAPER TWO MORE SIBLING SPECIES OF ALPHEID SHRIMPS ASSOCIATED WITH THE CARIBBEAN SEA ANEMONES BARTHOLOMEA ANNULATA AND HETERACTIS LUCIDA Nancy Knowlton and Brian D. Keller ABSTRACT We have described two new species of snapping shrimp, Alpheus polystictus and A. ro- quensis. The new species form part of a complex of four sibling species associated with Caribbean sea anemones, the others being the well-known A. armatus Rathbun, 1900 and the recently describedA. immaculatus Knowlton and Keller, 1983. Alpheus roquensis is found with the anemone Heteractis lucida. while the other three shrimps live with Bartholomea annulata. In laboratory choice experiments, each shrimp species prefers the species of an em- one with which it is typically found in the field, although each can shelter under the other species of anemone. All four species are extremely similar morphologically, being distin- guished largely on the basis of color pattern. The validity of the species is confirmed by the total absence of interbreeding; heterospecific male-female pairs are never found in the field, and it is impossible to force pairings between species in the laboratory. Alpheus polystictus is rare in Jamaica and Haiti, while in Venezuela it is sometimes the dominant species to depths of 10 m. In the areas examined, it has always occurred with at least one of the other two Bartholomea associates. The geographic distribution of A. roquensis is more limited, as there are no reports of alpheids associated with Heteractis lucida, and none has been found with this anemone in Jamaica.
