Decapod Crustacea

Axiopsis spinulicauda was taken in Holberg Inlet and Barkley Sound at 50 to 70 fathoms, and is a new record for British Columbia. The typically oceanic Eualus macrophthalmus was taken in Howe Sound at 60 to 75 fathoms and Lopholithodes foraminatus at localities north to Hecate Strait. Cancer gracilis was found in deeper water (74 to 78 fathoms) than heretofore and C. magister, at 58 to 98 fathoms.

New Distribution

Three hermit crabs, Pagurus caurinus, P. quaylei, and P. stevensae, from British Columbia are described as new. Calastacus quinqueseriatus Rathbun, Paguristes ulreyi Schmitt, Pagurus cavimanus (Miers), P. samuelis (Stimpson), Parapagurus pilosimanus Smith, Munidopsis quadrata Faxon, and Chionoecetes tanneri Rathbun have not been recorded from the area between 48° and 55°N and 123° and 135°W, and also show considerable extensions of the known ranges. Within the confines of the same area, Callianassa gigas Dana, Paguristes turgidus (Stimpson), Pagurus cornutus (Benedict), P. hemphilli (Benedict), Orthopagurus minimus (Holmes), Petrolisthes cinctipes (Randall), Sceleroplax granulata Rathbun, Pinnotheres pugettensis Holmes, P. taylori Rathbun, and Planes marinus Rathbun are reported with extensions to known ranges. Pagurus capillatus (Benedict), P. tanneri (Benedict), Paralomis verrilli (Benedict), and Lithodes couesi Benedict are recorded, apparently for the first time from British Columbia, although known from both north and south of this area.

Two specimens of the striped bass (Morone saxatilis) were taken in British Columbia waters in 1971. One was taken off Port San Juan (48°30′N, 124°30′W) and one in Barkley Sound (48°58′N, 125°03′W). Previous most northerly published record for the Pacific coast was from Puget Sound, Washington.

Betapista dekkerae, new genus and new species, is described. The generic diagnoses for Laphania and Scionides are improved after inspection of the holotypes of the type species. Eupolymnia heterobranchia (syn., E. crescentis) is redescribed. Additions to the descriptions, based on study of type material, are made for Laphania boecki (new record, Northeast Pacific), Neoamphitrite robusta (syn., Scionides dux), Neoleprea californica and N. spiralis, Pista brevibrunchiata (new record, British Columbia [B.C.], Washington [WA], Japan) and P. fratrella, and Polycirrus californicus (new record, B.C., WA, syn., P. perplexus). Other additions to the descriptions are provided for Amaeana occidentalis (new record, B.C.) and Pista cristata. Two further Pista species (one from the Skagerrak) and five Polycirrus species are charcterized but not named. Other new records are Lanassa venusta venusta (B.C.), Lysilla loveni, and Neoleprea japonica (the two latter for Northeast Pacific). Lysilla pacifica, Pista fasciata, and P. fratrella are shown not to be members of the fauna of British Columbia and Washington. Presumably, neither is Polycirrus caliendrum. New observations on the types of the Antarctic Polycirrus kerguelensis and Ereutho kerguelensis are noted.Key words: Betapista n.g., Neoleprea, new records, Northeast Pacific, Pista, Polycirrus, Scionides, Terebellidae

Photographs of 393 harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena (L.)) from the waters of Denmark (n = 224), Japan (n = 19), and Canada (Bay of Fundy (n = 95), Gulf of St. Lawrence (n = 40), and coast of British Columbia (n = 15)) were analyzed for variation in pigmentation patterns. Animals were classified according to morphs of each of 12 pigmentation characters. Patterns were not unique to particular areas and cannot be used as a tool for absolute discrimination among geographically isolated groups of porpoises. However, statistical frequencies of certain morphs of seven characters varied significantly among the five geographical groups, matching some of the subpopulations proposed by Gaskin in 1984. Pigmentation patterns of harbour porpoises were unique to each animal and were not gender dependent. Variation in pigmentation patterns may have implications for intra-individual recognition. All porpoises showed bilaterally asymmetrical pigmentation, providing a new record of consistent asymmetry in an odontocete species.
