Eocyzicus careyensis Tippelt & Schwentner 2018, sp. nov.
No full textEocyzicus careyensis sp. nov. (Fig. 19 c, d and e) Eocyzicus lineage R Schwentner et al., 2014, 2015b Etymology. " Careyensis" refers to Lake Carey, which is the only known locality for this species. The species name means "lives in Lake Carey". Type locality. Western Australia, Lake Carey, 29°10´S, 122°20´E. Type material. Holotype. Female (Western Australian Museum registration number 55044, GenBank KC583813), collected by B. V. Timms, 08-III-2011. Further material examined. No material from other localities available Description. Holotype female ( Fig. 19 c, d and e). Carapace. 5.0 mm high, 8.5 mm long, height/length ratio 0.59; height without "crowded" growth lines 4.7 mm, length without "crowded" growth lines 8.0 mm; shape oval; dorso-posterior corner nearly absent; 13 growth lines, of these twelve "non-crowded" and one "crowded"; umbo small, hemispheric, growth lines present (Fig. 19c). Head. Condyle rounded; section between condyle and external eye contour concave; eye bulge small, compound eye oval; straight angle between head and rostrum; anterior margin of rostrum straight; transition between anterior and ventral margin angular (Fig. 19d). Antennule with twelve lobules, widely arranged; reaches to third antennary segments. Antenna with twelve antennary segments, middle antennary segment anteriorly with two spines. Thorax. 23 thorax segments, of these 21 "complete" and two "incomplete" (Fig. 19e); dorsal spines beginning at 13th thorax segment, eight thorax segments with dorsal spines; one dorsal spine at each thorax segment, first dorsal spine smaller than following one, last dorsal spine smaller than preceding one, last "complete" thorax segment without dorsal spine (Fig. 19 e). Telson. 20 telsonic spines, of these three enlarged, telsonic spines end after base of apex; telson symmetric; telsonic filaments situated between third and fourth telsonic spine. Furca with 22 setae, longer than proximal part of furca; small spine before row of spinules absent, spinules short (Fig. 19e). Ovigerous flagella situated at 9th and 10th thorax segment. Differential diagnosis. According to Schwentner et al. (2014) the putative sister species are Eocyzicus armatus sp. nov. and E. parooensis. The PCA showed a clear differentiation between E. careyensis sp. nov. and these two as well as all other species (Fig. 2c). Eocyzicus careyensis sp. nov. can be morphologically differentiated from E. armatus sp. nov. and E. parooensis by the number of all growth lines, number of lobules on the antennules, number of thorax segments with dorsal spines and number of setae on the furca (Table 2). Eocyzicus armatus sp. nov. can be delimited following the PSC (Wheeler & Platnick, 2000) and the ESC (Wiley & Mayden, 2000). However, it does not occur in sympatry with any other Eocyzicus species and, therefore, its species status following the BSC (Mayr, 1942) remains ambiguous. Distribution and ecology. This species is known only from Lake Carey, a large clear hyposaline lake. Eocyzicus careyensis sp. nov. does not occur sympatrically with any other studied Eocyzicus species.Published as part of Tippelt, Lisa & Schwentner, Martin, 2018, Taxonomic assessment of Australian Eocyzicus species (Crustacea: Branchiopoda: Spinicaudata), pp. 401-452 in Zootaxa 4410 (3) on page 438, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4410.3.1, http://zenodo.org/record/122168

Furca with two to five setae, shorter than, as long as or longer than proximal part of furca (Fig. 16b). Differential diagnosis. Eocyzicus parvus sp. nov. can be morphologically clearly differentiated from all other Australian Eocyzicus species by its size, the small number of growth lines and the number of setae on the furca. No egg bearing females were among the examined individuals. Thus, it is possible that the studied individuals are not fully matured. The morphologic and genetic differentiation from its putative sister species E. phytophilus sp. nov. (with which it occurs sympatrically) support its species status based on the PSC sensu Wheeler & Platnick (2000), the ESC (Wiley & Mayden, 2000) and the BSC (Mayr, 1942). Distribution and ecology. The only locality from which Eocyzicus parvus sp. nov. is known is a fresh and clear pool with yellow lilies. This species occurs sympatrically with Eocyzicus ubiquus sp. nov., E. phytophilus sp. nov. and E. argillaquus.Published as part of Tippelt, Lisa & Schwentner, Martin, 2018, Taxonomic assessment of Australian Eocyzicus species (Crustacea: Branchiopoda: Spinicaudata), pp. 401-452 in Zootaxa 4410 (3) on pages 430-433, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4410.3.1, http://zenodo.org/record/122168
