Catapaguropsis Lemaitre & McLaughlin 2006
No full textCatapaguropsis Lemaitre & McLaughlin, 2006 (emended) Catapaguropsis Lemaitre & McLaughlin, 2006: 58. Diagnosis. Eleven pairs of biserial phyllobranchiate gills. Rostrum broadly subtriangular or reduced to broadly rounded lobe. Ocular peduncles with very slender penultimate segments, ultimate segments also slen- der proximately, but distally broadened, corneas prominently dilated; ocular acicles quite small, triangular. Antennal peduncles with supernumerary segmentation. Mandible with entirely calcified cutting edge except for small, corneous tooth at outer lower angle. Maxillule with external lobe of endopod rudimentary or vestigial. Maxilla with endopod exceeding distal margin of scaphognathite. First maxilliped with slender endopod exceeding distal margin of basial endite. Second maxilliped without distinguishing characters. Third maxilliped with crista dentata reduced or not, with accessory tooth. Sternite of third maxillipeds (thoracic somite IX of Pilgrim 1973) unarmed. Sternite of chelipeds (thoracic somite X) narrow, incompletely fused to larger sternite of second pereopods. Sternites of second and third pereopods (thoracic somites XI, XII) very broad, with distinct median concavities. Chelipeds long, slender; right appreciably stouter, but not necessarily longer. Ambulatory legs sexually dimorphic or not; dactyls slender or somewhat blade-shaped. Fourth pereopods simple or semichelate, propodal rasp absent or consisting of single row of corneous scales; preungual process well developed. Fifth pereopods minutely chelate. Males with short, stout right sexual tube directed toward exterior; very short left sexual tube or papilla; no paired or unpaired pleopods. Females with paired gonopores; no paired and modified first pleopods, unpaired biramous left pleopods 2–4, pleopod 5 absent. Pleon always reduced posteriorly in males, reduced or not in females. Symmetrical uropods reduced or not. Telson with transverse incisions weak or obsolete; posterior lobes separated by broad median concavity or by minute median cleft, unarmed or with few minute spinules. Type species. Catapaguropsis queenslandica Lemaitre & McLaughlin, 2006, by original designation. Distribution. Queensland, Australia and South China Sea; 296– 388 m. Remarks. The new species, described below, is clearly assignable to Catapaguropsis on the basis of male characters: sexual tube, absence of male pleopods, shape and reduction of the male pleon, symmetrical uropods, which are also markedly reduced in males, but differs from the type species in female characters. Of the similarities with the genus Catapagurus observable in the female of Catapaguropsis queenslandica, which include ambulatory legs with blade-shaped dactyls, ambulatory meri each with one or more subdistal spines on the dorsal surface, and the tendency for loss of the left fifth pleopod, only the latter loss is seen in the female of C. brucei n. sp. In the male of C. queenslandica, as in both sexes of species of Pteropagurus McLaughlin & Rahayu, 2006, the third pereopods are markedly longer than the second. This dimorphism in C. brucei n. sp. is uncertain because only a single second right pereopod remains with the male paratype. Females of both Catapaguropsis species have ambulatory legs of generally equal length. The dimorphism in the fourth pereopods seen in C. queenslandica is not present in C. brucei n. sp.; both sexes have simple propodi, lacking propodal rasps. In Catapaguropsis, as in Pteropagurus, the sternite of the third pereopods is noticeably broadened. This was thought to also be a dimorphic character in Pteropagurus; however, the posterior extension observed in males of P. inermis McLaughlin & Rahayu, 2006 and P. s p i n a McLaughlin & Rahayu, 2006 was found to occur in both sexes in a third recently discovered species (McLaughlin, in press). Certain inaccuracies in the original generic description of the mouthparts of C. queenslandica are corrected based on a reexamination of the female paratype and on the morphology of the new species. The maxillule was illustrated (Lemaitre & McLaughlin 2006: fig. 2 B) as having a bilobed coxal endite; but reexamination of the maxillule has shown this condition to be an artifact. The coxal endite of the the maxillule of C. queenslandica and the new species is represented by a single lobe as is typical for paguroids in general. Similarly, the three-segmented exopods of the second and third maxillipeds (ibid.: fig. 2 E, F) are artifacts; the exopods are two segmented as in most pagurids. The basis and ischium of the third maxilliped were illustrated (ibid.: fig. 2 F) as being completely fused, and the crista dentata was described as lacking an accessory tooth. In the new species, when viewed externally, the basis and ischium similarly appeared to be completely fused, but internally, a suture line was visible. Reexamination has shown this also to be the case for C. queenslandica, indicating the basis and ischium must be considered incompletely fused. The crista dentata in the new species, when viewed externally, consisted of a row of translucent teeth decreasing in size anteriorly, but with one appreciably larger subdistal tooth. However, the internal view of the ischium showed that the crista dentata actually consisted of all small teeth distally and an adjacent subdistal large accessory tooth. The maxillule and second and third maxillipeds of C. queenslandica are herein illustrated accurately (Fig. 2 a–c). The absence of an accessory tooth as a character that will distinguish Catapaguropsis from Catapagurus is not correct. Both genera have an accessory tooth on the crista dentata.Published as part of Mclaughlin, Patsy A. & Lemaitre, Rafael, 2007, A new and distinctive species of the hermit crab genus Catapaguropsis (Crustacea: Decapoda: Anomura: Paguridae) from the South China Sea, pp. 31-41 in Zootaxa 1560 on pages 32-33, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17832

Solitariopagurus tuerkayi McLaughlin 1997
No full textSolitariopagurus tuerkayi McLaughlin, 1997 (Fig. 1 B, 4 B) Solitariopagurus tuerkayi McLaughlin, 1997: 461, fig. 8; 2000: 408, fig. 8. Material. One ♂ (SL 3.2 mm, SW 3.5 mm), Hawaii, Penguin Banks (off southwest coast of Moloka'i), National Marine Fisheries Service cruise OES 03-01, station 27, 16 February 2003, 20° 59.458 'N, 157 ° 25.809 'W, 12 -foot shrimp trawl, 153 m, inhabiting (wearing) one valve of a small bivalve mollusk (family Lucinidae, Ctena bella (Conrad, 1837), Lindsey Groves, LACM, personal communication) (LACM CR 2003 -046.1),. Coloration. Based on photographs taken immediately after collecting and/or freezing the fresh specimens (photographs in the collection of RBM), the background color is light orange with blotches of red or reddishbrown (Fig. 4 B). Pereopods 2 and 3 are reddish-orange, lightly banded with white or cream; the distal end of each article is translucent pale or white. Another photograph (that of a different specimen, the missing ovigerous female noted below) shows a background color of pale cream, with patches of reddish-brown restricted to the front and anterolateral regions of the shield and on the pereopods, especially on the dorsal borders of both chelae where the pigment occurs in a longitudinal dorsal stripe. The pleon is cream flecked with reddish-brown. Eggs, carried dorsally, are a yellowish-orange in one photograph. The eyestalks have a central longitudinal region of beige or ivory flanked on either side by reddish-brown. The four prominent rounded tubercles on the anterodorsal region of the shield are tipped with white. Four years after collecting and preservation, the carapace and legs are a pale or translucent white, and the eyes are a dusky orangeyellow. McLaughlin (1997) similarly noted a faint orange tint on the chelae and dactyls of the pereopods as well as faint banding on the legs of a specimen that had been preserved for four years in alcohol (McLaughlin 1997, 2000). Remarks. Solitariopagurus tuerkayi is readily separated from other species in the genus by a combination of characters. It differs from S. profundus in its possession of the four obvious dorsal bumps or protuberances just proximal to the front of the carapace (Fig. 1 B), a character that S. tuerkayi shares with S. triprobolus and S. trullirostris. However, it differs from S. trullirostris in having a longer and slenderer rostrum and in lacking protuberances on the eyestalks, and it differs from S. triprobolus in lacking additional (lateral and posterior) dorsal protuberances on the shield and in the relative lengths of the eyestalks and antennular peduncle (see McLaughlin 2000). Morphologically, the Hawaiian specimen (Fig. 1 B, 4 B) agrees well with previous descriptions of this species (McLaughlin 1997, 2000). Slight differences exist in the spination of the articles of the chelipeds (our specimen has less prominent dorsal ridges on the carpus than described previously, and indeed these are not even depicted in Fig. 1 B) and in the relative size of the eyestalks compared to the carapace (eyestalks appear smaller in the Hawaiian specimen). The Hawaiian specimen is slightly larger (SL 3.2 mm) than either of the two specimens mentioned or illustrated by McLaughlin (2000) (SL 2.9 and 2.1 mm), and these differences may well be size-related. Because of the rarity of specimens of this species and in this genus, a full understanding of variability within species is not yet possible. Our specimen is the first record of the genus for the Hawaiian Islands, and the second report of the genus from the northern hemisphere. The other report of the genus from the northern hemisphere is also of this same species, Solitariopagurus tuerkayi, and is based on McLaughlin's (2000) record of a specimen from Okinawa. Previous distributional records include the Kai and Tanimbar Islands, Indonesia, New Caledonia, and Okinawa (Japan) (McLaughlin 2000: 408). This report is apparently the first record of this species inhabiting (wearing) half of a bivalve shell, a finding that is not surprising given that two of the three other members of the genus (S. trullirostris and S. triprobolus) have been reported to do likewise (McLaughlin 2000). Additionally, a photograph taken on board the ship soon after collecting shows a different specimen of this same species, an ovigerous female photographed next to half of a bivalve shell. This additional female specimen (also from Penguin Banks, Pisces IV, Dive 0 66, 20° 58.414 ' N, 157 ° 22.211 'W at 200 m depth) has not yet been located in our collections. The bivalve in this photograph is a mytilid, Septifer rudis Dall, Bartsch, and Rehder, 1938, a species known only from Hawaii in depths of 30 to 100 m (Lindsey Groves, personal communication).Published as part of Martin, Joel W., Moffitt, Robert B. & Mclaughlin, Patsy A., 2009, Additions to the decapod crustacean fauna of the Hawaiian Islands, II.
