These 19 specimens were morphologically and genetically examined. Our study revealed that some 20 specimens belonged to a new species in the genus Australatya Chace, 1983. The aim of this 21 paper is to describe this new species, Australatya keithi sp. nov., and discuss the distribution 22 of its genus in the studied area. 23 24 Introduction 25 1 26 Until recently, the taxonomy of Atyidae was mainly based on morphological characters. But, 27 in the Caridina genus, some characters have been proven highly variable within a species 28 (e.g. rostrum shape and indentation or coloration) and therefore taxonomically uninformative, 29 making it difficult to establish boundaries between them (von Rintelen and Cai 2009, de 30 Mazancourt et al. 2017). Thus, there is a need for an integrative and standardized approach to 31 improve the group’s systematics, focusing on informative morphological features and using 32 molecular characters (Page et al. 2005, Page and Hughes 2011). To illustrate this problem, we 33 focus here on the genus Australatya Chace, 1983. It has a wide but disjoint distribution in the 34 Indo-Pacific region and includes until now only three species: Australatya striolata 35 (McCulloch and McNeill 1923) and Australatya hawkei Choy, Page and Mos, 2019 from 36 Australia and Australatya obscura Han and Klotz, 2015 from the Philippines, Taiwan (Han 37 and Klotz 2015) and Ryukyu islands (Inui et al. 2019). This genus occurs in the higher course 38 of tropical rivers like other Atya-like shrimps (Atyoida pilipes (Newport, 1847) or Atyopsis 39 spinipes (Newport, 1847)). Only a few studies provided DNA data for species of Australatya 40 (see Cook et al. 2012; Han and Klotz, 2015; Choy et al. 2019). 41 One of the aims of the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle (MNHN, Paris) is to carry out 42 faunistic inventories of rivers in tropical islands in order to establish better protection of these 43 fragile ecosystems and, in this context, to clarify the taxonomy of poorly known organisms. 44 For our study, several Pacific islands were surveyed: Futuna (Territory of Wallis and Futuna) 45 in October 2004 (Mary et al. 2006), Upolu (Samoa) in July 2008 (Keith et al. 2013) and again 46 in August 2014. Kolombangara and Vella Lavella islands (Solomon Islands) respectively in 47 November 2015 and October 2016, and Santo and Aneityum (Vanuatu) respectively in July 48 2005 and June 2015. As we collected specimens from these different islands from the Pacific 49 Ocean, we started to question the identity of some specimens previously identified as Atyoida 50 pilipes or Atyopsis spinipes collected from these islands. The aim of this study is thus to 2 51 combine morphological data with a 16S rDNA analysis to investigate the “Atya-like” shrimps 52 present in the sampled area. 53 54 Material and Methods 55 56 Collection of specimens 57 Specimens from Pacific islands were collected by electrofishing (portable Dekka 3,000 58 electric device, or SAMUS 1,000: http://www.electro-fisher.net/). All material was preserved 59 in 75%-95% alcohol and has been deposited in the collections of the MNHN in Paris. 60 61 Morphological comparison 62 The rostrum, the general cephalon, the pereopods 1, 2, 3 and 5 and the abdomen were 63 observed using a stereoscopic microscope. The proportions of the various joints of the 64 appendages were measured using microphotographs and AnalySIS Works software 65 (Olympus). Drawings were made using the ‘Digital Inking’ method (Coleman 2003, 2006) by 66 tracing vectorial paths on stacks of high-resolution photographs using Adobe Illustrator 67 (CS6). 68 69 Abbreviations for morphological analyses 70 The following abbreviations are used in the present text: cl, carapace length (mm): measured 71 from the post-orbital margin to the posterior margin of the carapace. P1: first pereopod. P2: 72 second pereopod. P3: third pereopod. P5: fifth pereopod. Pl1: first male pleopod. Pl2: second 73 male pleopod. 74 75 DNA extraction, amplification, sequencing 3 76 Molecular analyses were conducted on mitochondrial DNA, on the 16S ribosomal RNA 77 fragment, in order to differentiate each specimen by species and location. A total of 10 78 specimens of Australatya were genetically studied. 79 Total DNA was extracted from abdominal muscle samples using the NucleoSpin 96 Tissue 80 Core (Macherey-Nagel) protocol. For each sample, PCR reactions contained: 15.44 µl of 81 H2O, 2 µl of Taq buffer (15 mM + MgCl2), 1 µl of DMSO (1 ng/ml), 1 µl of BSA, 0.8 µl of 82 dNTP (6.6 mM), 0.32 µl of Forward primer (16Sar-Lmod: 83 TACTTCTGCCTGTTTATCAAAAA) and 0.32 µl of Reverse primer (16Sbmod: 84 GGTCTGAACTCAAATCATGTAAA), both at 10 pM, 0.12 µl of Taq polymerase (Qiagen), 85 and 3 µl of purified DNA from extraction. PCR program was: 4 min at 94°C, then 35 cycles 86 in three steps with 30 sec at 94°C, 40 sec at 42°C and 1 min at 72°C. The program finished 87 with 7 min at 72°C. PCR products were sequenced using Sanger method in both directions to 88 minimize mistakes. 89 90 Molecular analysis 91 Analyses were performed using Geneious 7.1.8. A multiple alignment was realized between 92 all sequences with the MUSCLE algorithm (Edgar 2004). Using Bayesian information 93 criterion in jModelTest (Guindon and Gascuel 2003, Darriba et al. 2012) we retained the GTR 94 + G + I model. From this alignment, a phylogenetic tree was produced by MrBayes 3.2.6, 95 available on CIPRES Science Gateway V3.3 server (Miller et al. 2010, 96 https://www.phylo.org), running for 10,000,000 generations, a sampling frequency of 1,000 97 and a burn in of 10%. Support for nodes was determined using posterior probabilities 98 calculated by MrBayes. With MEGA X (Kumar et al. 2018), another phylogenetic tree was 99 made by maximum likelihood using the same substitution model. Robustness of the nodes 4 100 was assessed using non-parametric bootstrapping (Felsenstein 1985) with 1,000 bootstrap 101 replicates. 102 Species delimitation analyses were realized with the ABGD v. 07/12/18 method (Puillandre et 103 al. 2011) to estimate intra and interspecific divergence in our data using JC69 distances. 104 Priors were left as default (Pmin: 0.001; Pmax 0.1; 10 steps; relative gap width: 1.5; 20 bins). 105 106 Results and Discussion 107 108 Morphological analyses 109 Measures and observations made on the specimens caught allowed us to separate them into 110 three genera, i.e. Atyoida, Atyopsis and Australatya. The general criteria to identify species of 111 the genus Atyoida are P1 and P2 with chelae heteromorphic (with or without palm), P3 112 without meral spur in large males, 3rd maxilliped with uncinate terminal spine, Pl1 of male 113 with endopod tapering sinuously but rather regularly to slender apex, for genus Atyopsis are 114 P1 and P2 with chelae monomorphic (without palm), P3 with prominent spur on merus in 115 large males, 3rd maxilliped not terminating in single apical spine, Pl1 of male with endopod 116 rigid, rhomboidally oval, submarginally spinose, for Australatya are P1 and P2 with chelae 117 monomorphic (without palm), P3 without meral spur in large males, interno-inferior margin 118 of merus forming a carina with 4–9 strong teeth-like spiniform setae, third maxilliped 119 dimorphic between sexes, with uncinate terminal spiniform seta (nail) partially concealed by 120 dense serrate setae in males, tip rounded, without a nail in females, Pl1 of male with endopod 121 tapering to slender apex. The species found in this last genus is new. The description of this 122 species follows thereafter. 11 specimens of Australatya have been identified in our samples: 3 123 from the Solomon Islands, 2 from Futuna, 4 from Samoa and 2 from Vanuatu.
