Lecithophyllum anteroporum n. sp. is described from Merluccius productus from British Columbia waters. Other hosts in the North Pacific are Oncorhynchus nerka and O. gorbuscha. The status of the genera Lecithophyllum Odhner, Aponurus Looss, and Brachadena Linton, and allocation of species within these genera are discussed. Keys to separate the three genera and the four species of Lecithophyllum are presented. Aponurus intermedius Manter is transferred to Lecithophyllum with L. fuscum Yamaguti as a synonym.

A New Species

Discovery of a new species of skate, Rhinoraja longi, from the outer Aleutian Islands led to a re-evaluation of the status and species composition of this genus. Rhinoraja is presently distinguished from Bathyraja primarily by its basally segmented rostral shaft and slightly longer tail. The genus contains five species plus the new species, and is endemic to the North Pacific arc, from Hokkaido, Japan, to the Aleutian Islands. The six species are very similar in morphology, meristics, and skeletal structure but differ substantially from each other in dermal denticle characters. Salient features of systematic significance in the dermal skeleton include the density and the relative proportions of total height, base height, and crown height of the denticles. The number and distribution of normal and alar thorns are also important.

A New Species

A new species of Geodia is described from the North Pacific, collected in the summer of 2012 in the western Aleutian Islands. Geodia starki sp. nov. differs from all known species of Geodia by the possession of two categories of sterrasters and exceptionally large megascleres. The new species is compared with congeners of the North Pacific Ocean, Bering Sea, Arctic and the North Atlantic Oceans.

Pelagic Ostracoda

A new tribe of pelagic Ostracoda (Halocyprididae), the Metaconchoeciini, is established to encompass all the species formerly classified in the genus Metaconchoecia. All the remaining genera in the subfamily Conchoecinae are, therefore, assigned to another new tribe, the Conchoeciini. The original genus Metaconchoecia is subdivided into ten genera. Metaconchoecia is retained and nine new genera established namely: Austrinoecia, Clausoecia, Deeveyoecia, Juryoecia, Kyrtoecia, Muelleroecia, Nasoecia, Rotundoecia and Vityazoecia. Keys to these new genera and their component species are provided. Tables summarize the characters that most readily distinguish between the most closely related taxa. Appendices summarize the taxonomic characters and detailed size data for the majority of species that occur in the Atlantic and the North Pacific. A new species, Vityazoecia distoglandula, is described, which is designated as the type species of its genus.
