Eleven Species

A synopsis of the metallic carpenter bees Xylocopa subgenus Schonnherria Lepeletier in Colombia is presented. Eleven species were recognized: X. dimidiata Latreille, X. ecuadorica Cockerell, X. lateralis Say, X. lucida Smith, X. metallica Smith, X. muscaria (Fabricius), X. ornata Smith, X. viridis Smith, and X. simillima Smith, being this latter a new record for the country. In addition, two new species are described: X. auriventris n. sp. and X. romeroi n. sp. from the Colombian Andean and Pacific region, respectively. To stabilize the application of some names, lectotypes were designated for X. binotata Pérez (=X. lateralis), X. muscaria, X. ornata, X. simillima and X. viridis. Diagnoses, descriptions, comments, floral records, distribution maps, figures and an identification key are also provided.

Commercial Harvesting

Members of the family Coralliidae, known as precious corals, are ecologically and economically important deep-sea or-ganisms. However, these organisms are currently threatened by commercial harvesting. In order to create and implementeffective conservative strategies, taxonomic knowledge of conservative targets is necessary, but unfortunately the taxon-omy of precious corals in this family is still ambiguous. This study provides a review of 15 Coralliidae species from thenorthern West Pacific region and a key to species identification. In addition, descriptions of two new species, Coralliumcarusrubrum n. sp. and C. taiwanicum n. sp., as well as a redescription of C. sulcatum Kishinouye, 1903 are included.Corallium carusrubrum n. sp. is distributed on seamounts off northeastern Taiwan. The autozooids of C. carusrubrum n.sp. are retractile and each can be fully withdrawn into the cortex thereby causing a mound on the surface which is shortand cylindrical rather than typically hemispherical; additionally, there are no long spindles in their tentacles. Coralliumtaiwanicum n. sp. is distributed in an area off southwestern Taiwan. It has special unique 8-radiates with an oval shapeand large projections. Corallium sulcatum is distributed from an area off southwestern Taiwan to western Japan. It hasbeen harvested and traded for decades, but there were no illustrations in its original description, hence a redescription of this species is provided.

Maximum Body Size

Two new species of the deep-water spider crab genus Pleistacantha Miers, 1879, are described: P. griffini sp. nov. and P. maxima sp. nov. Pleistacantha griffini, from northwestern Australia and Indonesia, most closely resembles P. moseleyi (Miers, 1886), with which it has been confused. Pleistacantha griffini is readily distinguished from P. moseleyi based on carapace physiognomy, pereopod morphometrics and gonopod structure. Pleistacantha maxima, ranging from Japan to Australia, has been previously confused with the morphologically similar P. oryx Ortmann, 1893. The new species differs from P. oryx in numerous features, the most striking being a maximum body size exceeding twice that of P. oryx.

Two new species of the salina group of the genus Rhagovelia Mayr, 1865 (Veliidae) from Colombia are described, illustrated, and included in an updated key. Rhagovelia nuqui sp. nov. is described from the Pacific Region of Colombia and Rhagovelia tintipan sp. nov., is described from the Caribbean Region of the country. The new species are diagnosed by body length and conditions of the male hind femoral spines, paramere shape, and antenna and fore femur color. Additionally, R. colombiana (Polhemus & Manzano, 1992) is redescribed and its range is extended to Chocó departament. Finally, R. plumbea Uhler, 1894 is recorded for the first time from Colombia.

Parasitic copepods of the family Taeniacanthidae (Crustacea) from triggerfishes (Teleostei, Balistidae) and filefishes (Teleostei, Monacanthidae) collected in the Indo-West Pacific region, with descriptions of two new species of Taeniacanthus Sumpf, 1871

First Descriptions

Two new species of Taeniacanthus Sumpf, 1871 (Copepoda, Taeniacanthidae) are described from filefishes (Monacanthidae) caught in the Indo-West Pacific region: T. brayae n. sp. from Pervagor melanocephalus (Bleeker) collected from five localities within the Central Indo-Pacific realm and T. mcgroutheri n. sp. from Monacanthus chinensis (Osbeck) and Paramonacanthus choirocephalus (Bleeker) caught off the Australian coast. Taeniacanthus brayae n. sp. and T. mcgroutheri n. sp. are distinguished from their congeners by the presence of an elongate terminal endopodal segment of the antenna, a spinulated terminal process and one seta on the maxillary basis, six elements on the terminal exopodal segment of legs 2–4 and an armature of II, I, 2 and II, I, 1 on the terminal endopodal segments of legs 2 and 3, respectively. Taeniacanthus brayae n. sp. can be readily distinguished from T. mcgroutheri n. sp. by having one row (rather than multiple rows) of spinules on the large pectinate process of the antenna, four setae (rather than three) on the maxillule and a 3-segmented (rather than 2-segmented) endopod on legs 2–4. New host and/or locality records for the taeniacanthids Cirracanthus monacanthi (Yamaguti, 1939), C. spinosus Dojiri & Cressey, 1987, Nudisodalis acicula Dojiri & Cressey, 1987 and Taeniacanthus aluteri (Avdeev, 1977) parasitic on triggerfishes and filefishes, as well as supplementary morphological information for the females and the first descriptions of the males of C. monacanthi, C. spinosus and N. acicula, are also included.

Thirteen species of the Anonyx nugax group (uropod 2 partially constricted) are listed for the North Pacific and adjacent Arctic ocean. Two new species, Anonyx beringi and Anonyx barrowensis are described; A. pacificus Gurjanova, A. anivae Gurjanova, A. comecrudus Barnard, and A. epistomicus Kudrjaschov are redescribed; and the status of the other species is reconsidered and commented upon. Only four of these species, nugax, sarsi, lilljeborgi, and debruyni, have circumpolar distributions, with the other nine confined to the North Pacific region or to it and adjacent seas.
