Coyoacán, 04510, México D. F., Mexico. * [email protected] ABSTRACT The presence of the genera Costacopluma and Ophthalmoplax in Upper Cretaceous (Campanian) Moroccan strata is documented on the basis of specimens collected from the Calcaires à slumps de Taghit Formation, Moyenne Moulouya (Morocco). Two new species are described, Ophthalmoplax minimus and Costacopluma maroccana. The first record for Opthalmoplax in the west Tethyan realm is reported, and systematic affinities of this genus and its species are discussed. An absolute age of the late Campanian was obtained for this assemblage from 87Sr/86Sr analysis applied to well preserved cuticle calcitic remains of Ophthalmoplax minimus. Costacopluma maroccana represents the 14th species for this genus and the fourth Cretaceous species. Its morphology reinforces hypothesis of two main phyletic groups for this genus. Key words: Crustacea, Decapoda, Ophthalmoplax, Costacopluma, Campanian, Morocco. RESUMEN Se documenta la presencia de los géneros Ophthalmoplax y Costacopluma con base en especímenes recolectados en sedimentos del Cretácico Superior (Campaniano) de la Moyenne Mouluya (Marruecos). Se describen dos nuevas especies: Ophthalmoplax minimus y Costacopluma maroccana. Se identifíca y localiza (por primera vez en la parte occidental del dominio del Tethys) el género Ophthalmoplax, discutiéndose las afinidades sistemáticas de este género y sus especies.

  • 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.

F. Davie Queensland Museum, PO Box 3300, South Brisbane, Queensland, Australia Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT. – An annotated checklist of the extant brachyuran crabs of the world is presented for the first time. 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.

Cold seeps fluids provide an additional source of energy for various sulfide- and 27 hydrocarbon-harvesting bacteria, often in symbiosis with invertebrates, attracting a variety of other 28 organisms including crustaceans (e.g., Levin 2005; Vanreusel et al. 2009; Vrijenhoek 2013). The 29 percentage of crustaceans of all macrofaunal specimens is highly variable locally in modern seeps, from 30 0–>50% (Dando et al. 1991; Levin et al.

  • 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.

  • How to Become a Crab: Phenotypic Constraints on a Recurring Body Plan

For over 140 years, convergent evolution of the crab-like body plan (with a wide and flattened shape, and a bent abdomen) at least five times in decapod crustaceans has been known as ‘carcinization’. The repeated loss of this body plan has been identified as ‘decarcinization’. We offer phylogenetic strategies to include poorly known groups, and direct evidence from fossils, that will resolve the pattern of crab evolution and the degree of phenotypic variation within crabs. Proposed ecological advantages of the crab body are summarized into a hypothesis of phenotypic integration suggesting correlated evolution of the carapace shape and abdomen. Our premise provides fertile ground for future studies of the genomic and developmental basis, and the predictability, of the crab-like body form.
