A new crab genus, Stintonius, is described to contain Portunites subovata Quayle & Collins, 1981, Panopeus kempi Ouayle & Collins, 1981, is also transferred to a new genus, Sereneopeus, and a subspecies, Dromilites lamarckii humerosus Quayle & Collins, 1981, is raised to specific status.

JAMIESON *, Danièle GUINOT ** & Bertrand RI~HERDE FORGES *** * Zoology Department, University of Queensland, Brisbane, Q 4072, Australia I: ** Laboratoire de Zoologie (Arthropodes) Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle, 61 rue Buffon, F-75231 Paris cedex 05, France *** ORSTOM, B. P. A5, Nouméa Cedex, Nouvelle-CalBdonie ABSTRACT Spermatozoa of Dynomene aff. devaneyi (Dynomenidae) and Homolodromia kai (Homolodromiidae) are described. I Parsimony analyses affirm the classification of the Brachyura by GUINOT(1978), notably the groupings Podotreinata and Heterotremata sensu luto, as Sister-groups, and Thoracotremata are confirmed. In the Podotremata, association of the Raninoidea and Cyclodorippoidea is upheld (as sister-groups), each with convincing and unique synapomorphies, but sperm data considered alone do not supporc alliance of the Homolidae, (a very clearly defined group) with this couplet and therefore cio not endoIse the grouping Archaeobrachyura which is, however, upheld by combined spermatozoal and non- spermatozoal data. The Dromiacea sensu Guinot (Dromiidae, Dynomenidae and Homolodromiidae) is confirmed spermatologically as a monophyletic grouping but the discreteness of the three constituent families is not upheld. Homolodromia displays a mixture of dromiid and dynomenid spermatozoal features. The Dynomenidae and Dromiidae are each found to be paraphyletic. Latreillia sp., considered an homoloid by GUINOT(1978) and GUINOT& RICHERDE FORGES (1993, forms a polytomy either with Homolidae+Raninoidea-Cyclodorippoidea with the combined, spermatozoal and non-spenna:ozoaI, data set or with Homolidae+Dromiidae-Dynomenidae-Homolodromiidae,for sperm data only. The association by G~oT(1978) of the Dorippoidea, Portunoidea, Xanthoidea, and Majoidea in the non-thoracotreme Heterotremata is fully supported spermatologically.

  • The Position of the Hymenosomatidae Macleay, 1838, Within the Brachyura (Crustacea, Decapoda)
    Zootaxa 2890: 40–52 (2011) ISSN 1175-5326 (print edition) www.mapress.com/zootaxa/ Article ZOOTAXA Copyright © 2011 · Magnolia Press ISSN 1175-5334 (online edition) The position of the Hymenosomatidae MacLeay, 1838, within the Brachyura (Crustacea, Decapoda) DANIÈLE GUINOT Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, Département Milieux et peuplements aquatiques, 57 rue Cuvier, case postale 53, F-75231 Paris cedex 5, France. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The Hymenosomatidae is unique among the Brachyura on the basis of spermatozoal ultrastructure and morphological characters of the adults and larvae. The location of the hymenosomatid male gonopore, always a controversial question, is here shown to be sternal, not coxo-sternal. This disposition, analogous to the arrangement of Thoracotremata, contra- dicts all morphological characters that indicate a heterotreme affiliation, close to the Majoidea and Dorippoidea. Molec- ular data also support such an assignment. The multiple hymenosomatid plesiomorphies are reviewed. The exceptional male reproductive system, a new scheme for the Eubrachyura, is assumed, at least in part, to be the result of a strong car- cinisation in an ancient, deeply rooted group, at present the most ecologically diverse in Brachyura. The presence of the Hymenosomatidae on the former Gondwanan landmasses and its worldwide pattern of distribution are consistent with the hypothesis of a Gondwanan origin of the family. Key words: Brachyura, Eubrachyura, Thoracotremata, Heterotremata, Hymenosomatidae, Majoidea, Dorippoidea, male reproductive system, male gonopore, spermatozoa, coxo-sternal condition, carcinisation, larval development, megalopa, phylogeny Introduction The placement of the Hymenosomatidae MacLeay, 1838, within the Brachyura Latreille, 1802, has been controver- sial at one time or another, the family being considered heterotreme, close to or within the Majoidea Samouelle, 1819 (e.g., Rathbun 1925; Richer de Forges 1976, 1977; Guinot & Richer de Forges 1997; Guinot & Bouchard 1998; Martin & Davis 2001; Ng et al.

Despite their resemblance to some calappids, it was impossible to make a definitive identification based solely on general morphology. Therefore, additional neuston tows were taken on the continental shelf near Charleston, during the summer of 2004 to obtain these living megalopae. These were raised successfully through five juvenile stages at the Southeastern Regional Taxonomic Center (SERTC) labora- tory. The morphology of the juveniles provided evidence that they are megalopae of Calappa tortugae Rathbun, 1933. Comparisons with megalopae of Hepatus epheliticus (Linnaeus, 1763), H. pudibundus (Herbst, 1785), Calappa flammea (Herbst, 1794) and Cryptosoma balguerii (Des- bonne, 1867) are presented here. This is the first complete description of the megalopa morphology of a member of the genus Calappa Weber, 1795 from the Western Atlantic, and it is helpful for taxonomic, systematic and ecological purposes.

ABSTRACT Decapods constitute the dominant benthic group in the Canary Current Large Marine Ecosystem (CCLME). An inventory of the decapod species in this area was made based on the information compiled from surveys and biological collections of the Instituto Español de Oceanografía.
