During August 1967, 12 specimens of Sebastodes rubrivinctus were collected from the Pacific Ocean off Amchitka Island, Alaska. This is a westward extension of their known range from the Gulf of Alaska.

A new decapod crustacean species, Shinkaia katapsyxis, is reported from the Eocene Humptulips Formation of western Washington, USA. The specimens were collected from a hydrocarbon seep deposit that has been well-documented and contains a well-described molluscan fauna. The new occurrence extends the geologic range of the genus Shinkaia Baba and Williams, 1998, and subfamily Shinkaiinae Baba and Williams, 1998, into the Eocene from its only other known occurrences in hydrothermal vent environments in the Pacific Ocean. The range extension of an extant decapod genus into the Eocene is not uncommon and adds to the evidence that the Decapoda may be unusually resistant to extinctions and are distinctly conservative evolutionarily.

A New Species

A new species of Trichogypsiidae is described and compared to its congeners. Trichogypsia alaskensis n. sp. represents the fifth species of the family and with this record all three genera of the family are now represented in the North Pacific Ocean. Calcarea are rare in the Gulf of Alaska but with this new record the number of confirmed species rises from two to three. The new species has larger diactines of a broader size range and with a different pattern of spination than all congeners.
