Mictocaris halope, a new unusual peracaridan crustacean from marine caves on Bermuda

Thomas E. Bowman; Thomas M. Iliffe

ABSTRACT A new family, Mictocarididae, is proposed for Mictocaris halope, a new genus and species of peracarid crustacean from 4 marine caves on Bermuda. The Mictocarididae do not fit into any known peracaridan order, and a new order, Mictacea, is erected for it and for the Hirsutiidae of Sanders, Hessler, and Garner, 1985 (preceding paper in this journal) by Bowman et al., 1985 (immediately following paper). Mictocaris differs from Hirsutia in possessing eyestalks and a rostrum, an anteriorly rounded labium, marginal setae on the mandibular palp, nonsetose oostegites arising medially, and a pereiopod 2 that is not enlarged.

Description and Notes On the Biology of Lironeca Puhi, N. Sp. (Isopoda: Cymothoidae), Parasite of the Hawaiian Moray Eel, Gymnothorax Eurostus (Abbott)

Thomas E. Bowman

Weibchen, Mannchen und Jugendstadien des Isopoden Lironeca puhi n. sp. werden beschrieben. L. puhi ist ein verbreiteter Parasit des hawaiischen moray eel Gymnothorax eurostus. Im allgemeinen leben ein Mannchen und ein Weibchen zusammen in einer Kiemenkammer, in der die meisten Kiemenfilamente fehlen. L. puhi ist ein protandrischer Hermaphrodit. Es wird gezeigt, dass die Gegenwart eines Weibchens einen masculinisierenden Einfluss auf das Mannchen ausubt, indem die Transformation des letzteren in ein Weibchen gehemmt wird.

MICTACEA, A NEW ORDER OF CRUSTACEA PERACARIDA

Thomas E. Bowman; Susan P. Garner; Robert R. Hessler; Thomas M. Iliffe; Howard L. Sanders

ABSTRACT A new order, Mictacea, is proposed within the superorder Peracarida for Hirsutia bathyalis Sanders, Hessler, and Garner and Mictocaris halope Bowman and Iliffe. The new order is characterized by a unique combination of characters, most of which are not unique to the Mictacea, but are found in at least one other peracaridan order.

The copepod genusAcartia in Chesapeake Bay

Thomas E. Bowman

Chesapeake Bay specimens ofAcartia, identified by C. B. Wilson asA. clausii andA. longiremis, were re-examined. All the specimens identified asA. longiremis and most of those labelledA. clausii wereA. tonsa. A. clausii was present only in two winter samples. The postulated change in the composition of species ofAcartia in the Bay can no longer be supported, since it arose from Wilsons misidentifications.

Notes on Associations Between Hyperiid Amphipods and Medusae in Chesapeake and Narragansett Bays and the Niantic River

Thomas E. Bowman; Caldwell D. Meyers; Steacy D. Hicks

Two living specimens ofHyperia galba were observed to hold on and move in an inverted position while attached to the scyphozoan medusa,Cyanea capillata. The mouthparts face away from the substrate and ifH. galba is parasitic, it probably feeds on the tentacles or oral arms rather than the bell of the jellyfish. During the collection of hydrographic data in Narragansett Bay, members of three hyperiid species were found to occur on the jellyfishes,C. capillata, Aurelia aurita, andTima formosa. While making similar collections in the Niantic River, two amphipod species were observed onC. capillata. Two hyperiids are reported from Patuxent River and Chesapeake Bay representing range extensions for both.

Renocila Heterozota, a New Cymothoid Isopod, With Notes On Its Host, the Anemone Fish, Amphiprion Akallopisos, in the Seychelles

Thomas E. Bowman; Richard N. Mariscal

[Ein neuer cymothoider Isopode, Renocila heterozota, wird beschrieben. Er kommt auf der vorderen dorsalen Korperregion des Anemonenfisches, Amphiprion akallopisos, im Gebiet der Seychellen vor. Gewohnlich leben ein Weibchen und ein kleines Mannchen zusammen, und zwar meist auf der linken Seite des Wirtstieres. R. heterozota ist nicht auf Amphiprion-Populationen anderer Lokalitaten des Indischen und Pazifischen Ozeans festgestellt worden. Etwa 5% der bei den Seychellen beobachteten Amphiprion waren infiziert. Wie sein Wirtstier so wird auch R. heterozota durch Kontakt mit den Tentakeln der Anemone Radianthus ritteri nicht beeinflust. Eine erweiterte Diagnose von Renocila und ein Schlussel zu den 5 bekannten Arten wird vorgelegt., Ein neuer cymothoider Isopode, Renocila heterozota, wird beschrieben.

Occurrence of the Calanoid Copepod Eurytemora Affinis (Poppe) in the Ohio River at Louisville, Kentucky

Thomas E. Bowman; Julian J. Lewis

ABSTRACT Eurytemoraaffinis is reported from the Ohio River at Louisville, Kentucky, about 2,960 river miles upstream from the Gulf of Mexico. This is about 2,254 river miles beyond the farthest penetration up the Mississippi River previously known: Horn Lake, De Soto County, Mississippi.

From Brazil To Jamaica: a Range Extension of the Neritic Calanoid Copepod, Pseudodiaptomus Acutus

Thomas E. Bowman

Pseudodiaptomus acutus (Dahl, 1894), welcher von der Kuste Brasiliens (Guaratuba bis Rio Para) bekannt war, wird von Jamaica (Kingston Harbor) gemeldet. Das Weibchen wird noch einmal kurz beschrieben.

The California freshwater isopod, Asellus tomalensis, rediscovered and compared with Asellus occidentalis

Thomas E. Bowman

Asellus tomalensis is redescribed from topotypes collected near Bolinas Lagoon, California, and compared with A. occidentalis, the only other epigean asellid restricted to the Pacific coast of North America. Both species show more resemblence to eastern North American species now assigned to Conasellus than to Asiatic genera or subgenera.

The occurrence of the freshwater isopod Heterias (Fritzianira) exul in the Lakes Region of Chile, with notes on the genus Heterias (Asellota: Janiridae)

Thomas E. Bowman; Rudolph Prins; Jose Arenas

Heterais exul, previously known from Brazil and Argentina, was collected from a number of lakes and streams in the Lakes Region of Chile (between Valdivia and Puerto Montt). It was found in a wide variety of habitats: on leaf litter, detritus, algae, rotting wood, emergent vegetation, and clean sandy bottoms. Heterias, Pseudasellus, and Fritzianira are placed in synonymy, but Fritzianira is maintained as a subgenus of Heterias because of its lack of an antenna) scale. The 3 Australian species of Heterias and H. exul are believed to have evolved from a common freshwater Gondwanaland ancestor.
