Biodiversity Data Journal 8: e47183. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.8.e47183 Abstract Background The checklist of Stomatopoda of Greece was developed in the framework of the LifeWatchGreece Research Infrastructure (ESFRI) project, coordinated by the Institute of Marine Biology, Biotechnology and Aquaculture (IMBBC) of the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research (HCMR). The application of the Greek Taxon Information System (GTIS) of this project has been used in order to develop a complete checklist of species recorded from the Greek Seas. The objectives of the present study were to update and cross-check all the stomatopod species that are known to occur in the Greek Seas. Inaccuracies and omissions were also investigated, according to literature and current taxonomic status. New information The up-to-date checklist of Stomatopoda of Greece comprises nine species, classified to eight genera and three families.

Progress in our understanding of phylogenetic relationships within the Crustacea is linked to continuing discoveries of new taxa, to advances in theory and to improvements in methodology. Six themes are discussed that serve to illustrate some of the major on-going controversies and unresolved problems in the field as well as to illustrate changes that have taken place since the time of Linnaeus. These themes are: 1. the treatment of parasitic Crustacea, 2. the affinities of the Remipedia, 3. the validity of the Entomostraca, 4. exopodites and epipodites, 5. using larval characters in estimating phylogenetic rela- tionships, and 6. fossils and the crustacean stem-lineage. It is concluded that the development of the stem lineage concept for the Crustacea has been dominated by consideration of taxa known only from larval or immature stages.

Abstract Detection of a population of Pseudosquillopsis cerisii (Roux, 1828) (Crustacea, Stomatopoda, Parasquillidae) in the northwestern Mediterranean. A population of the poorly–known stomatopod crustacean, Pseudosquillopsis cerisii, was detected in the NW Mediterranean Sea. To date, in Mediterranean waters, this species was only known from rare reports that were mainly based on the occurrence of single individuals. Analysis of the stomach contents of ��sh predators caught i n coastal trammel–net artisanal ��sheri es r evealed several i ndividuals of t his species on a sandy bottom with nearby Posidonia seagrass beds in an area within the vicinity of Vilanova i la Geltrú (Catalonia). This is the ��rst r eport of t he species fr o m I beri an Peninsula waters.

Se ha detectado una población de Pseudosquillopsis cerisii , un crustáceo estomatópodo escasamente conocido en el Mediterráneo noroccidental. En aguas mediterráneas, esta especie era conocida hasta la fecha tan solo por unas cuantas citas principalmente de ejemplares aislados. El análisis del contenido gástrico de peces depredadores capturados utilizando trasmallos en pesca artesanal ha permitido la detección de varios individuos de esta especie en fondos de arena situados en aguas próximas a Vilanova i la Geltrú (Cataluña), en las cercanías de praderas de Posidonia .

It is easy to rear in laboratory conditions with embryos available year- round and amenable to numerous kinds of embryological and functional genetic manipulations. However, beyond these developmental and genetic analyses, research on the architecture of its nervous system is fragmentary.

It differs from other species of Nebalia most notably in the shape and color of the pigmented region of the eyes, armature of the antennule and antenna, extent that the carapace covers the abdominal somites, epimeron of pereonite 4, dentition of the protopod of the third and fourth pleopod, details of the pleonite border spination, and length of the terminal seta of the caudal furca. The leptostracan Crustacea can be iden­ reefs to the bathyal zone. The actual diver­ tified as such by the presence of a movable sity of the order Leptostraca well exceeds rostrum, a folded carapace that conceals the that which has been recorded, and the gap thoracic somites, eight phyllopodous tho­ in our knowledge of these animals clearly racic limbs, seven abdominal somites, and is the result of both taxonomic and sam­ conspicuous uropods (Kaestner 1980, pling bias.

    Mise À Jour De La Liste Des Espèces D'amphipodes (Crustacea

    Cah. Biol. Mar. (1999) 40 : 165-183 Mise à jour de la liste des espèces d’Amphipodes (Crustacea : Peracarida) présents en Manche Jean-Claude DAUVIN Université des Sciences et Technologies de Lille 1, UPRESA 8013 ELICO Station Marine de Wimereux, 28 avenue Foch B.P. 80, 62930 Wimereux, France Fax : (33) 3 21 99 29 01 - e-mail: [email protected] Résumé : La mise à jour de la liste des espèces d’Amphipodes présents en Manche permet de recenser 255 espèces. Ce recensement tient compte des dernières révisions systématiques et des prospections du suprabenthos à l’échelle de la Manche. Les inventaires dans les trois régions de la Manche occidentale considérées (Roscoff, Plymouth et Golfe normano- breton) présentent une richesse spécifique plus importante que dans les deux régions de la Manche orientale examinées, (Baie de Seine et Wimereux) : Roscoff (202 espèces), Plymouth et Golfe normano-breton (194), Baie de Seine (130) et Wimereux (136). Cet inventaire traduit ainsi l’appauvrissement spécifique d’ouest en est, en relation avec un gradient cli- matique. Ce sont les premières signalisations pour l’inventaire de Roscoff de Corophium sextonae et de Lysianassa insperata. Abstract: An up-to-date list of the amphipods (Crustacea: Peracarida) from the English Channel. An up-to-date list of the amphipods from the English Channel is given for the first time counting 255 species. This inventory is based on recent systematics and suprabenthic studies. The number of species is higher in the western part of the Channel (Roscoff, Plymouth, Golfe normano-breton) than in two areas in the eastern part (Bay of Seine) and Wimereux: respectively, Roscoff (202 species), Plymouth and Golfe normano-breton (194), Bay of Seine (130) and Wimereux (136).
