A revision of the genus Orchestia Leach, 1814 with the reinstatement of O. inaequalipes (K.H. Barnard, 1951), the designation of a neotype for Orchestia gammarellus (Pallas, 1776) and the description of three new species (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Talitridae: Talitrinae)

Three New Species

The amphipod genus Orchestia is revised. It now includes 10 species of which three are new: O. forchuensis sp. nov. from north-eastern North America and Iceland., O. perezi sp. nov. from Chile and O. tabladoi sp. nov. from Argentina. Orchestia inaequalipes (K.H. Barnard 1951) is reinstated. The type species of the genus, O. gammarellus is redescribed based on material from Fountainstown, Ireland and a neotype is established to stabilize the species. The species was originally described from a garden in Leiden, far from the sea. Its true identity is unknown and no type material exists. Orchestia gammarellus (Pallas, 1776) is shown to be a sibling species group with members in both hemispheres of the temperate Atlantic as well along the Pacific coast of South America. A hypothesis for the establishment of the current distribution of Orchestia species is presented that extends back to the Cretaceous.

Three New Species

Five species of the hippolytid shrimp genus Lebbeus White, 1847 are reported from various deep-water hydrothermal ventsites in the Pacific Ocean: L. laurentae Wicksten, 2010 from the East Pacific Rise 13°N; L. wera Ahyong, 2009 from theBrothers Seamount, Kermadec Ridge, New Zealand; L. pacmanus sp. nov. from the Manus Basin, Bismarck Sea; L.shinkaiae sp. nov. from the Okinawa Trough, Japan; and L. thermophilus sp. nov. from the Manus and Lau basins, south-western Pacific. Lebbeus laurentae is fully redescribed because the original and subsequent descriptions are not totallydetailed. Differentiating characters among the three new species and close allies are discussed. Previous records of Lebbeus species from hydrothermal vents are reviewed.

Three new species of antipatharian corals are described from deep-sea (677–2,821 m) seamounts and ridges in the North Pacific, including Antipathes sylospongia, Alternatipathes venusta, and Umbellapathes litocrada. Most of the material for these descriptions was collected on expeditions aboard NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer that were undertaken as part of the Campaign to Address Pacific Monument Science, Technology, and Ocean Needs (CAPSTONE). One of the main goals of CAPSTONE was to characterize the deep-sea fauna in protected waters of the U.S. Pacific, as well as in the Prime Crust Zone, the area with the highest known concentration of commercially valuable deep-sea minerals in the Pacific. Species descriptions and distribution data are supplemented with in situ photo records, including those from deep-sea exploration programs that have operated in the North Pacific in addition to CAPSTONE, namely the Hawaii Undersea Research Laboratory (HURL), the Ocean Exploration Trust (OET), and the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI).

Three New Species

Spinosphaera is a Terebellinae genus with three species described from the Pacific Ocean, S. pacifica from Japan, S. oculata from California, and the doubtful S. cowarrie from Western Australia. The genus is presently unknown in the Grand Caribbean region. Spinosphaera is characterized by the absence of branchiae, by the great number of notopodia, and the presence of a special type of notochaetae, called ‘Spinosphaera-chaeta’. These chaetae have three different regions: distal denticulate blade, neck separating the former from a middle swollen spinous region, and a proximal smooth or bilimbate region; two sizes are present. The genus is redefined, with redescription of all species currently known. Three new species are described here, two from the Mexican Caribbean coast, S. hutchingsae and S. carrerai, and one from California, S. harrisae. A taxonomic key to identify all species is given. Hutchingsiella gen. nov. is proposed for S. cowarrie; it differs from Spinosphaera in having notochaeta from segment 5 and neurochaetae from segment 6, and for lacking Spinosphaera chaeta.

To date, the poecilosclerid sponge genus Pozziella Topsent, 1896 was represented by two species: Pozziella clavisepta Topsent, 1896 and Pozziella aperta (Topsent, 1920), which are presently redescribed. During the campaign SO 144-3a of the project PAGANINI in the Pacific Ocean between the Galapagos Archipelago and Central America, three new species were recovered and are described here: Pozziella cerilla sp. nov., Pozziella neuhausi sp. nov. and Pozziella lueteri sp. nov. The present study led to a revision of the genus and an attempt to resolve the relationships between the species, based on the likeness of spicule complements and biometric characters. A similarity analysis revealed that Atlantic and Pacific species clustered separately. In addition, a key to all species of the genus based on spicular characters is provided.

Meristic Data

The halocyprid ostracod genus Boroecia Poulsen, 1973 is described in detail and Boroecia borealis (Sars, 1866) is nominated as type species. We unravel several taxonomic confusions and uncertainties in the earlier literature that had their origins in the classification of Boroecia maxima and Boroecia antipoda (Müller, 1906) as subspecies of Boroecia borealis. Three new species are described, B. alaska n. sp., and B. danae n. sp. from the Pacific and B. hopcrofti n. sp. from the high Arctic, bringing the total number of species in the genus to six. Five of the species are described in detail, the only exception is Boroecia maxima (Brady & Norman, 1896), for which there is already a full description in the literature. Comparative illustrations are provided for all the species together with standardised meristic data. A key to the identity all six species is included.
