The adult male of Utaperla gaspesiana, a new species of stonefly from the Gaspé Peninsula (Quebec), is described and illustrated. This is the first record of a member of the Paraperlinae (Chloroperlidae) from Eastern Canada. The relations of this new species with the other two known species of the genus, the western nearctic U. sopladora and the eastern palaearctic U. orientalis are briefly discussed.

A new species of kamakid amphipod, Ledoyerella kunensis sp. nov., is described from waters off Namibia and Angola. This is the first record of this genus in the Atlantic. The taxon is fully described and figured and is compared with the other known species of the genus occurring in waters of the Indian and Pacific Ocean.

A new species from Juruti River Plateau, Juruti, Pará, Brazil that fits the generic characters of Megaphobema is described. Megaphobema teceae n. sp. differs from the other four species known in this genus mainly by the presence of a conspicuous post-ocular process. This is the first record of the genus to both oriental Amazon and Brazil.

Psychrolutes sio, a new species of Psychrolutidae from off northernmost Chile, is described from two specimens trawled at about 770–1150 m. The holotype is deposited in the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO 72-184). The only large specimen, the 22.9-cm holotype, differs most conspicuously from the other two species of the genus Psychrolutes in having the head and body color a uniform brown, skin thin, lateral line pores in small but distinct tubes, and jaws equal. Psychrolutes sio represents the first record of the genus Psychrolutes to be recognized from the Southern Hemisphere. However, future studies may indicate that other southern psychrolutids of the genera Neophrynichthys and Cottunculoides should also be assigned to Psychrolutes.

The capitellid genus Leiocapitella is characterized by the possession of anterior 12–16 chaetigers exclusively with capillaries and the following 1–2 transitional chaetigers with notopodial capillaries and neuropodial hooded hooks. A new species was obtained from the continental shelf of the East China Sea, and is identified herein as Leiocapitella fujianensis. The new species differs from the other four described species by the number and location of transitional chaetigers, the dentition of abdominal hooks, and the methyl green stain on thorax. A key to all Leiocapitella species is provided in this paper.

A study was made of organisms concerned with the red discoloration of salted hides, also termed "red heat", which defect may occasion loss in the leather industry through spotting and weakening of the fibre. Red halophilic sarcinae were isolated from Argentine hide. From Canadian hides showing red discoloration, two species of pleomorphic rods were isolated as active agents. One of these, occurring on salted cowhides, was found to be similar to Serratia salinaria (Harrison and Kennedy) Bergey et al., a source of reddening of cured codfish in eastern Canada. The other organism causing discoloration, isolated from buffalo hide, was regarded as a new species and designated Serratia cutirubra n.sp. Both of these halophilic organisms, owing to their proteolytic action, are considered capable of greater damage to hides than the red sarcinal types which are non-liquefying, and which may also be present on Canadian hides. Non-chromogenic halophilic bacteria were also isolated from discolored hides. These develop at a lower salt concentration range than the red organisms and are probably less active in causing injury to fibre in well salted hides.

AbstractA new species of spider crab, Acanthonyx formosa, is described from seaweed beds in Taiwan. The species is allied to A. euryseroche Griffin & Tranter, 1986, from western Australia, but differs markedly in the proportions of the adult male rostrum, and in the structure of the hepatic tooth, the third maxilliped, the adult male chela, and the male first pleopod. Acanthonyx formosa is only the second species of Acanthonyx known from the Pacific, the other being A. simplex Dana, 1852, from Hawaii. Une nouvelle espece de crabe, Acanthonyx formosa, est decrite de lits d'algues, a Taiwan. L'espece est apparentee a A. euryseroche Griffin & Tranter, 1986, d'Australie occidentale, mais en differe nettement dans les proportions du rostre du male adulte, la structure de la dent hepatique, le troisieme maxillipede, la pince du male adulte et le premier pleopode male. Acanthonyx formosa n'est que la seconde espece du genre connue du Pacifique, la premiere etant A. simplex Dana, 1852, des Hawa.

AbstractA new species of Mysidacea, Pseudomysidetes japonicus, is described. The present new species is clearly distinguishable from the other two species of the genus, P. russelli W. M. Tattersall, 1951 and P. cochinensis Panampunnayil, 1977, in the size of the antennal scale, the number of subsegments in the carpopropodus of the 3rd-8th thoracopod endopods, the length of the penis, the shape of the telson, and the number of spines on the endopod of the uropod. P. japonicus represents the first record of this genus in Japan. On the basis of the rudimentary pleopods in both sexes and the length of the penis in the male, Pseudomysidetes is transferred from the tribe Leptomysini to the tribe Heteromysini. An update of the taxonomic key to genera and subgenera of the Heteromysini is suggested.
