Floristic Treatment

This is a floristic treatment of benthic marine red algae (Rhodophyta) in the order Palmariales that occur in British Columbia and northern Washington. Seven species (including one new species of Palmaria) in four genera are recorded as follows: Halosacciocolax kjellmanii Lund, Halosaccion glandiforme (S. G. Gmelin) Ruprecht, Palmaria callophylloides Hawkes et Scagel, sp. nov., P. hecatensis Hawkes, P. mollis (Setchell et Gardner) van der Meer et Bird, Rhodophysema elegans (P. L. et H. M. Crouan ex J. Agardh) P. S. Dixon, and R. georgii Batters. Rhodophysema minus Hollenberg et Abbott is treated as a taxonomic synonym of R. elegans. An historical background of the Palmariales is provided. Also provided are revised circumscriptions of the family Palmariaceae and genera Palmaria, Halosaccion, and Rhodophysema based on recent life-history studies by other workers that demonstrate the presence of sexual reproduction in several palmarialean taxa. Keys to and descriptions of taxa (at the ordinal, familial, generic, and specific levels), as well as information on synonyms, location of type specimens, type localities, and what is known about the life histories, distribution, seasonality, and habitats of all taxa, are provided. References are given, and representative specimens are cited that document our concept of the taxa and their morphological variability, seasonality, and geographical distributions.

Floristic Treatment

This is a floristic treatment of benthic marine red algae (Rhodophyta) in the order Rhodymeniales which occur in British Columbia and northern Washington. The following 12 species in 9 genera are recorded and illustrated: Botryocladia pseudodichotoma (Farlow) Kylin, Fauchea fryeana Setchell, Fauchea laciniata J. G. Agardh, Faucheocolax attenuata Setchell, Fryeella gardneri (Setchell) Kylin, Gastroclonium subarticulatum (Turner) Kützing, Lomentaria hakodatensis Yendo, Minium parvum Moe, Rhodymenia californica Kylin, Rhodymenia pacifica Kylin, Rhodymenia pertusa (Postels et Ruprecht) J. Agardh, and Rhodymeniocolax botryoidea Setchell. Rhodymenia stipitata Kylin is treated as a taxonomic synonym of Rhodymenia pertusa. Previous reports of Coeloseira parva Hollenberg from British Columbia and Leptofauchea auricularis Dawson and Leptofauchea pacifica Dawson from northern Washington were based on misidentifications or could not be confirmed. Also provided is a historical background of the Rhodymeniales. Keys to and descriptions of local taxa (at the ordinal, familial, and generic levels), as well as information on synonyms, location of type specimens, type localities, and what is known about the life histories, distribution, seasonality, and habitats of all local taxa, are provided. Rhodymenialean species occurring in British Columbia and northern Washington which are also reported in the California flora are listed, as are those which are restricted to one or the other flora. References are given and representative specimens cited that document our concepts of the taxa and their morphological variability, seasonality, and geographical distributions.

Plocamium Cartilagineum

This is a floristic treatment of the gigartinalean families Caulacanthaceae and Plocamiaceae that occur in southeast Alaska, British Columbia, and northern Washington. Caulacanthaceae is represented by one genus, Caulacanthus Kützing, and one species, the type, C. ustulatus (Mertens ex Turner) Kützing, whereas Plocamiaceae is represented by two genera, Plocamiocolax Setchell, including the type species, P. pulvinata Setchell, and Plocamium Lamouroux, including three species, P. cartilagineum (L.) Dixon, P. oregonum Doty, and P. violaceum Farlow. For each species, we provide a description of its habit and life history, vegetative and reproductive morphology, habitat and seasonality, and list its global and local distributions and the representative specimens examined. Keys are provided to genera and species where appropriate. The habit and salient vegetative and reproductive features that can be used to distinguish the taxon in the local flora are illustrated. Emended diagnoses are provided for the family Caulacanthaceae, for the genus Plocamiocolax, and for the species Plocamiocolax pulvinata and Plocamium oregonum. Reasons are given for not recognizing the northeast Pacific specimens of Plocamium cartilagineum as a distinct subspecies. Plocamium tenue Kylin is considered a synonym of P. violaceum. A neotype is designated for Plocamiocolax pulvinata. Lectotypes are designated for P. pacificum Kylin and for P. tenue Kylin.

Both the genus Shastasaurus and the family Shastasauridae have long been hard to define due to the fragmentary nature of the type specimens. Consequently, recent interpretations of the genus have been based almost entirely on Shastasaurus neoscapularis from the Late Triassic Pardonet Formation of British Columbia. Two new specimens of this taxon, from Pink Mountain, British Columbia, demonstrate that it does not belong in the genus Shastasaurus. This paper describes the new specimens, and refers the species to Metashastasaurus gen nov. Post-cranially, the skeleton of Metashastasaurus resembles that of shastasaurids, differing primarily only in the shape of the scapula and fibula. However, the skull has a unique combination of characters, including large diamond-shaped frontals that enter the supratemporal fenestrae, and very narrow posterior extensions of the nasals, which contact the postfrontals. It also differs from the skull of Shastasaurus in the presence of both a parietal ridge and postparietal shelf. This is a combination of derived characters previously known only in Jurassic forms. The front limb has four proximal carpals and four digits, indicating that previous reconstructions were based on incomplete material. Shastasaurus pacificus Merriam 1895, the type species of the genus Shastasaurus, must be considered a nomen dubium, making the genus Shastasaurus invalid. Until this problem is clarified, the use of the generic name Shastasaurus should be restricted to Merriam's type specimens, of which only Shastasaurus alexandrae and Shastasaurus osmonti are based on adequate material.

Six new genera are erected in the subtribe Thioniina of the tribe Issini to accommodate seven American species of the family Issidae, six of which were described by L. Melichar and E. Schmidt in early 20th century from Bolivia, Brazil, Mexico, and Peru, and one new species is described from Paraguay as follows: Carimeta gen. nov. (type species: Carimeta maculipennis sp. nov.); Metopasius gen. nov. (type species: Thionia proxima Melichar, 1906); Cophteroma gen. nov. (type species: Thionia truncatella Melichar, 1906); Cyclometa gen. nov. (type species: Thionia bifasciatifrons Melichar, 1906); Memusta gen. nov. (type species: Thionia obtusa Melichar, 1906); Thiopara gen. nov. (type species: Thionia fusca Melichar, 1906). Thionia sinuata Schmidt, 1910 is transferred to the genus Carimeta gen. nov. Six new combinations are formed: Carimeta sinuata (Schmidt, 1910), comb. nov.; Metopasius proximus (Melichar, 1906), comb. nov.; Cophteroma truncatella (Melichar, 1906), comb. nov.; Cyclometa bifasciatifrons (Melichar, 1906), comb. nov.; Memusta obtusa (Melichar, 1906), comb. nov.; Thiopara fusca (Melichar, 1906), comb. nov. The lectotypes are designated for Thionia fusca Melichar, T. proxima Melichar, and T. sinuata Schmidt to stabilize the nomenclature in the studied group according to the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. New record for Cyclometa bifasciatifrons from Brasil is provided. Photographs of the type specimens with original labels including Melichar’s and Schmidt’s autographs as well as drawings of all studied species are given.

Elasmobranch Fishes

Nine species of copepods in the family Lernaeopodidae were collected as parasites of teleost or elasmobranch fishes common to coastal waters of British Columbia. One species (Schistobrachia tertia) has not been previously described. Two species (Dendrapta cameroni longiclavata and Lernaeopodina pacifica) are new records for the Canadian fauna. The remaining six include Pseudocharopinus dentatus, Clavella adunca, and detailed descriptions of Clavella parva, Clavella perfida, Nectobranchia indivisa, and Brachiella robusta, the last-named displaying a range of morphological variability hitherto unknown in Lernaeopodidae.

This paper is an account of the distributions of the Anthocoridae of the Pacific Northwest (British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and Idaho), with notes on the life histories of the more common species. It brings together the published and unpublished data on the family in that area. Seven species listed were previously unrecorded there and five others are new species recently described (Kelton and Anderson, 1962). In 1956 and 1957 intensive collecting was done in southern British Columbia and some material was collected in the Willamette Valley and east of the Cascade Range in Oregon. Specimens were examined in the important museum collections of the area and in some private collections.

The revision of the herbarium material, collected in the northern part of the Sea of Okhotsk in 1965–1966 and stored in VNIRO, allowed to expand the taxonomic list of macrophyte algae of the coastal zone of this area. The locations of discovery of 24 previously unmentioned species are described. Myrionema balticum, Ulvella repens, Syncoryne reinkei, Acrochaetium arcuatum were found in the Sea of Okhotsk for the first time. Most species new for the Sea of Okhotsk is represented by epiphytes of the family Ulvellaceae (Chlorophyta). The final taxonomic list of this region, including literature data, consists of 169 species.

Four additional species of quill mites of the family Syringophilidae Lavoipierre have now been recorded in England. This includes one new species, Bubophilus aluconis sp. nov., which parasitizes the tawny owl Strix aluco (Strigiformes: Strigidae). It differs from other species of this genus, B. ascalaphus Philips et Norton, 1978 and B. asiobius Skoracki et Bochkov, 2002 by the number of chambers in transverse branch of the peritremes (2-3), the length ratio of setae vi and ve (1:1.6-2), and the lengths of the stylophore and aggenital setae ag1 (180 and 135-145, respectively).
