A new species of calanoid copepod, Centropages aegypticus sp. nov. collected from the Egyptian coasts of the northern Red Sea is described. This species is unique in having two pointed conical processes on the dorsal surface of cephalosome in both sexes, female genital compound somite with irregular-surface outline of the right swelling part and transverse dorsolateral row of spinules on the left side, 2-segmented exopod of the female leg 5, asymmetrical medial processes of the female leg 5, of which the left one is longer and medially-curved and the right one with oblique row of thick spinules, and a club-shaped medial seta on the third exopodal segment of the male leg 5. The new species is similar to C. tenuiremis, but is not assigned to the same species group as the latter species or to any other groups.

A new species of Calanoid copepod, Rhacodiaptomus besti,is described from material collected in the Igarapé São Pedro, Rio Jamari, State of Rondônia, and Lago Amanã, Rio Japurá, State of Amazonas, in Western Amazonia. A detailed morphological analysis of the species was undertaken in order to provide a basis for future studies on inter and intrageneric relationships.

A New Species

A new calanoid copepod genus Frankferrarius is based on the female and male of a new species described herein. The specimens were collected in the North and South Atlantic from abyssal depths close to the sea bed during the German expedition DIVA III in 2009. Frankferrarius admirabilis gen. et sp. nov. is a representative of the superfamily Arietelloidea with the praecoxal arthrite of the maxillule heavily sclerotized and a highly specialized, huge maxilla with a well-pronounced articulation between the coxa and basis and with long, grouped endopod setae apparently designed for piercing and grasping prey. This new genus, Frankferrarius, does not completely fit any known family of the Arietelloidea, but is provisionally placed in the Augaptilidae as it shares with this family the general pattern of segmentation and setation of its swimming legs, and a single genital operculum positioned medially on the ventral part of the genital double-somite.

A New Species

Two species of the calanoid copepod genus Bestiolina occurred in estuarine/coastal waters of the Nansei Islands, southernmost Japan. One of them is described herein as Bestiolina okinawae sp. nov., which is distinguished from known congeners by a combination of the following characteristics: 1) fifth pedigerous somite bearing groups of tiny spinules on the posterior end, 2) female mandible bearing a rod-shaped first gnathal tooth, 3) male left leg 5 with short apical spine on long terminal segment, and 4) legs 2–3 with endopodal segment 2 lacking spinules. The new species was the dominant zooplankter in oligohaline waters. The other species is morphologically identifiable to Bestiolina similis (Sewell, 1914). Genetic analysis using COI revealed that the two species differed by 9.9–10.0%, in contrast to small intra-specific genetic variation (0.0–1.5%). The two species were spatially segregated in low-salinity (2–30) estuaries and high-salinity (25–36) coastal waters, respectively, but co-occurred in some samples. Their body length decreased from the winter (around 20°C) to the summer (around 30°C) by 9.5–18.1%, depending on the species and sex. In both species, adult males, which lack mandibular gnathobase, were larger than the adult females.

Female Genital

A new species of calanoid copepod, Centropages uedai sp. nov., is described from the neritic waters of the northern Red Sea. This species is characterized by: (1) symmetry of a globular female genital double-somite that is ornamented with an anterior irregular group of spinules as well as transverse and dorsolateral rows of spinules on each side; (2) second exopodal segment of female leg 5 bearing a strong trough medial process serrated along the distal 4/5 of its posterior margin; (3) second exopodal segment of male right leg 5 serrated laterally along distal 1/5 of its medial process; (4) third exopodal segment of male right leg 5 with medial seta bifurcated at its tip and with hyaline ridge on both sides; and (5) second exopodal segment of male right leg 4 asymmetrical with undulating, thicker and longer lateral spine than left leg. The new species does not belong to any known species groups of the genus.

A New Species

Abstract A new calanoid copepod, Sursamucro rostratus sp. nov., belonging to the family Aetideidae, is described from female specimens collected in the northern Pacific and South Atlantic from abyssal waters close to the sea bed. The new species is the second of a rare deep-water genus, Sursamucro; it differs from its congener in size, configuration of the rostrum, the shape of the posterior corners of the prosome and details of antenna, mandible, maxillule and P1 setation. The genus Sursamucro is recorded for the first time from the northern Pacific and the Atlantic Ocean.
