A New Species

Two small keyhole limpets (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Fissurellidae) were collected live by the senior author and his father (Charles Powell) in the winters of 1967 and 1968 from the side/bottom of moderately flat rocks in the low intertidal zone at Doheny Beach State Park, Dana Point, Orange County, southern California. The larger specimen was collected in the winter of 1968 and the small specimen was collected in winter of 1967. These specimens resemble the genus Lucapinella yet do not quite match any of the known species. The shells are also somewhat similar to Dendrofissurella scutellum from South Africa and two species of Amblychilepas from Australia, however neither of the Dohney Beach specimens can be attributed to those species. This possible new species is assigned to the genus Lucapinella and remains unnamed until additional specimens can be located to determine if they are a new species, a rare exotic species, or a very unusual, miniature L. callomarginata.

General Appearance

I have received from South Africa specimens of blood taken from cattle which contain a new species of Trypanosoma. This new species can be at once distinguished from the Trypanosomas of Surra, Tse-tse Fly Disease, or Rat by its larger size, it being almost twice as large as any of the others. In general appearance it conforms closely to the others in possessing an oval protoplasmic body, a longitudinal fin-like membrane, and a single flagellum.

A New Species

Anthopleura mariscali, a new species of sea anemone (Actiniaria) known only from the intertidal zone of islands in the Gal pagos Archipelago, is described and illustrated. The column of a member of Anthopleura mariscali is orange to pink, becoming darker distally, and has prominent endocoelic marginal projections, each of which bears an acrorhagus on the oral surface and several verrucae on the adoral surface. Distally, the projections are typically frosted with opaque white patches. Living firmly adherent to the substratum in cracks and crevices, the animal is inconspicuous in life.

A New Species

Callogobius winterbottomi new species is described from the 33.8 mm SL holotype and two paratypes (32.2 mm SL and 22.9 mm SL) from the Comoros, Western Indian Ocean. It is distinguished from all other known Callogobius species by the following combination of characters: sensory pores absent, 23–26 scales in lateral series, and sensory papillae pre-opercular row not continuous with transverse opercular row. One additional specimen of Callogobius winterbottomi was located from South Africa. A new standardized naming system for Callogobius sensory papillae rows is presented for identification and clarification of character states among Callogobius species. The new species is tentatively placed among what we term the “sclateri group”, a clade including C. sclateri (Steindachner) and three other species that exhibit a modified female urogenital papilla with lateral distal flaps and elongate ctenii on the caudal peduncle scales. Callogobius tutuilae (Jordan & Seale) is removed from synonymy with C. sclateri because it has partially united pelvic fins (vs separate) and the preopercular sensory papillae row is continuous with the transverse opercular row (vs separate).
