PREFACE Biological resources include all organisms and their genetic characteristics. Utilization and conserva­ tion of these resources have the capacity to improve human life and to enhance the world we live in. It is therefore imperative that the practical and potential value of these organisms is conserved and used wisely. The first step towards this goal is to document our diversity and to study it in detail. Biological resources increase the competitiveness of a nation through their use as fundamental resources for making highly valu­ ed products, such as new lines of medicines, new materials, and new drugs. Since the Nagoya Protocol was adopted in 2010 and entered into force during the 12th Conference of the Parties of the Convention on Bio­ logical Diversity (CBD) in 2014, it has been expected that competition for biological resources will become more intensive under the rapidly changing circumstance on access to and sharing of genetic resources (ABS). To cope with a new international paradigm on issues related to biological resources, the Ministry of the Environment of Korea enacted a law entitled ‘An act on access and benefit sharing of genetic resources’ on August 17, 2017. Each nation in the world is investigating and clearing information of native species within its territory in order to secure its sovereignty rights over biological resources. The National Institute of Biological Reso­ urces (NIBR) of the Ministry of Environment has published the ‘Flora and Fauna of Korea’ since 2009 to manage biological resources in comprehensive ways and to enhance national competitiveness by building up the foundation for the sovereignty over biological resources. Professional research groups, consisting of professors and other taxonomic experts, have systematically examined 15,154 species of vascular plants, animals and other organisms over the past 10 years and have published their findings in 184 volumes in Korean and 189 volumes in English, and two volumes of worldwide monographs covering 216 species of invertebrates. This year, 14 volumes of the Flora and Fauna of Korea in both Korean and English versions including 391 species of invertebrates and insects are additionally published. Flora and Fauna of Korea are the first professional records to describe all the species of the nation in a comprehensive way, and they would contribute to level up the taxonomic capacity. The NIBR will continue to publish flora and fauna of Korea that will contribute conservation and appli­ cation of biological resources for successful implementation of the ABS protocol. Finally, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to authors who spared no effort to publish the Flora and Fauna of Korea.

  • Checklists of Crustacea Decapoda from the Canary and Cape Verde Islands, with an Assessment of Macaronesian and Cape Verde Biogeographic Marine Ecoregions

GONZÁLEZ University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, i-UNAT, Campus de Tafira, 35017 Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain. E-mail: [email protected]. ORCID iD: 0000-0001-8584-6731. Abstract The complete list of Canarian marine decapods (last update by González & Quiles 2003, popular book) currently com- prises 374 species/subspecies, grouped in 198 genera and 82 families; whereas the Cape Verdean marine decapods (now fully listed for the first time) are represented by 343 species/subspecies with 201 genera and 80 families. Due to changing environmental conditions, in the last decades many subtropical/tropical taxa have reached the coasts of the Canary Islands. Comparing the carcinofaunal composition and their biogeographic components between the Canary and Cape Verde ar- chipelagos would aid in: validating the appropriateness in separating both archipelagos into different ecoregions (Spalding et al. 2007), and understanding faunal movements between areas of benthic habitat. The consistency of both ecoregions is here compared and validated by assembling their decapod crustacean checklists, analysing their taxa composition, gath- ering their bathymetric data, and comparing their biogeographic patterns. Four main evidences (i.e. different taxa; diver- gent taxa composition; different composition of biogeographic patterns; different endemicity rates) support that separation, especially in coastal benthic decapods; and these parametres combined would be used as a valuable tool at comparing biotas from oceanic archipelagos.

Over 10,500 names are treated including 6,793 valid species and subspecies (with 1,907 primary synonyms), 1,271 genera and subgenera (with 393 primary synonyms), 93 families and 38 superfamilies. Nomenclatural and taxonomic problems are reviewed in detail, and many resolved. Detailed notes and references are provided where necessary. The constitution of a large number of families and superfamilies is discussed in detail, with the positions of some taxa rearranged in an attempt to form a stable base for future taxonomic studies. This is the first time the nomenclature of any large group of decapod crustaceans has been examined in such detail.

  • Notopus Dorsipes (Linnaeus) in Singapore: First Record of the Brachyuran Superfamily Raninoidea (Crustacea: Decapoda) on the Sunda Shelf
    NATURE IN SINGAPORE 2012 5: 19–25 Date of Publication: 27 January 2012 © National University of Singapore NOTOPUS DORSIPES (LINNAEUS) IN SINGAPORE: FIRST RECORD OF THE BRACHYURAN SUPERFAMILY RANINOIDEA (CRUSTACEA: DECAPODA) ON THE SUNDA SHELF Martyn E. Y. Low1* and S. K. Tan2 1Department of Marine and Environmental Sciences, Graduate School of Engineering and Science University of the Ryukyus, 1 Senbaru, Nishihara, Okinawa 903-0213, Japan 2Raffles Museum of Biodiversity Research, National University of Singapore 6 Science Drive 2, Singapore 117546, Republic of Singapore (*Corresponding author: [email protected]) INTRODUCTION Recently, a brachyuran crab identified as Notopus dorsipes (Linnaeus, 1758), was found at Changi (north-east Singapore). This represents the first record of the superfamily Raninoidea de Haan, 1839, in Singapore and on the Sunda Shelf (Figs. 1, 2). The superfamily Raninoidea has a worldwide distribution and its members inhabit marine habitats from the intertidal zone to over 300 m deep (reviewed in Ahyong et al., 2009; see also Dawson & Yaldwyn, 1994). Fifty species of raninoids are currently assigned to 12 genera in six subfamilies (Ng et al., 2008). Notopus dorsipes belongs to a monotypic genus currently assigned to the subfamily Notopodinae Serène & Umali, 1972 (see Ng et al., 2008). Originally described as Cancer dorsipes by Linnaeus (1758), this species has had a confused nomenclatural history (see Holthuis, 1962). In order to stabilise the name Cancer dorsipes Linnaeus, Holthuis (1962: 55) designated a figure in Rumphius (1705: pl. 10: Fig. 3) as the lectotype of Notopus dorsipes (reproduced as Fig. 3). De Haan (1841) established the genus Notopus for Cancer dorsipes Linnaeus, the type species by monotypy.

E-mail: [email protected] 2 Quarter Sanata 18, 08460 Santa María de Palautordera (Barcelona, Spain). E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT- Some new fossil brachyurans from Middle Eocene (Middle Lutetian) strata in the Provinces of Barcelona and Girona (Catalonia, Spain), discovered in old collections housed in the Geological Museum of Barcelona Seminary (= MGSB), assigned until now to the genus Stenodromia, present after accurate preparation, extraordinary fairly complete female ventral portions, complete attached chelipeds, and complete dorsal features. The main ventral characters of a unique specimen, such as the narrow, subtriangular female abdomen, with all abdominal segments free, not totally covering the narrow sternum, and the complete attached chelipeds, permit detailed and more confident comparison with closer fossil and extant genera. The unique assemblage of characters, mainly the peculiar frontal and orbital construction, the dorsal rows of discrete tubercles, the absence of deep dorsal grooves, together with the conspicuously long mesobranchial spines, warrants the erection of a new genus, Tavernolesia n. gen. The completeness of the new specimens, permit more detailed diagnosis, and the placement in the superfamily Calappoidea is confirmed. RESUMEN - La cuidadosa preparación de algunos crustáceos decápodos, procedentes de antiguas colecciones, actualmente depositados en el MGSB, presenta una extraordinaria conservación de los quelípedos, así como de porciones dorsales y ventrales del caparazón. Estos decápodos, recuperados de estratos del Eoceno medio de las Provincias de Barcelona y Girona, estaban asignados hasta ahora al género Stenodromia.

  • Crustacea, Copepoda, Harpacticoida): Proposed Emendation of Spelling to ZOSIMEIDAE to Remove Homonymy with ZOSIMINAE Alcock, 1898 (Crustacea, Decapoda, XANTHIDAE)
    24 Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature 66(1) March 2009 Case 3467 ZOSIMIDAE Seifried, 2003 (Crustacea, Copepoda, Harpacticoida): proposed emendation of spelling to ZOSIMEIDAE to remove homonymy with ZOSIMINAE Alcock, 1898 (Crustacea, Decapoda, XANTHIDAE) Rony Huys and Paul F. Clark Department of Zoology, Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD, U.K. (e-mail: [email protected] and [email protected]) Abstract. The purpose of this application, under Articles 29 and 55.3.1 of the Code, is to remove homonymy between the family-group names ZOSIMINAE Alcock, 1898 (Crustacea, Decapoda) and ZOSIMIDAE Seifried, 2003 (Crustacea, Copepoda) by changing the spelling of the junior homonym. It is proposed that the entire name Zosime Boeck, 1873 (Copepoda) be used to form ZOSIMEIDAE, leaving the stem of the senior homonym (based on the name Zosimus A.-G. Desmarest, 1823; Decapoda) unchanged. Zosimus A.-G. Desmarest, 1823 and Zosime Boeck, 1873 are respectively the type genera of ZOSIMINAE Alcock, 1898 (Decapoda) and ZOSIMIDAE Seifried, 2003 (Copepoda). Keywords. Nomenclature; taxonomy; Crustacea; Decapoda; Copepoda; Harpacti- coida; XANTHIDAE; ZOSIMEIDAE; ZOSIMIDAE; ZOSIMINAE; Zosime; Zosimus; Zosime typica; cosmopolitan. 1. Leach (1818) introduced the French vernacular names ‘Carpile’, ‘Clodorée’ (sic) and ‘Zosime’ for three genera of decapod crustaceans but did not include a descrip- tion, definition or indication of the taxa they denoted (Leach, 1818, pp. 74–75). Under Article 12 Leach’s names are nomina nuda and must be considered unavailable. 2. A.-G. Desmarest (1823, p. 228) latinised Leach’s (1818) vernacular names in a footnote to his text dealing with the genus Cancer, naming them Carpilius, Clorodius and Zosimus, respectively.
