Two new deep-sea muricids (Gastropoda) from Argentina
Two new species of muricids belonging in the genus Trophonare described from the upper slope off the Atlantic coast ofArgentina. Both species have a small size for the genus. Theradulae show similarities with those of Antarctic species of thesame genus. Trophon columbarioides new species has a smoothshell with spines pointed adapically and was collected at 37–38°S, in 209–382 m. Trophon fasciolarioides new species hasprominent spiral cords and was collected at Burwood Bank in286–292 m depth and off Bahía Blanca in ca. 1000 m depth.Fil: Pastorino, Roberto Santiago Guido.

First record of the exotic isopod Sphaeroma serratum (Crustacea: Isopoda) from Uruguayan waters (southwestern Atlantic)
The isopod Sphaeroma serratum (Fabricius, 1787) is reported from Uruguay for the first time and it is considered an introduced species in the region. The species was found very abundant and specimens were collected under the rocks in an intertidal area at La Paloma port in 2002 (34º39´S, 54º08´W). The specimens we examined fully agree with previous descriptions. Considering that this species has been reported as introduced in Argentina and Brazil, here we hypothesized the potential routes of introduction to Uruguay.Fil: Doti, Brenda Lía.

However, the presence of longitudinal sculpture in the new species clearly distinguishes it from <i>A. euskadii</i> Scarabino, 1986, which only has the transverse sculpture, although the thick apical callus and lumen is also similar (see Scarabino 1986). Nevertheless, no other scaphopod reported in the literature or noted in the field by us, worldwide, has similar sculpture; we refer the present species to <i>Annulipulsellum</i>, pending the discovery of other related species that might permit modification of the generic diagnosis or creation of a new genus.</p>Published as part of <i>Scarabino, Victor & Scarabino, Fabrizio, 2010, A new genus and thirteen new species of Scaphopoda (Mollusca) from the tropical Pacific Ocean, pp. 409-423 in Zoosystema 32 (3)</i> on page 419, DOI: 10.5252/z2010n3a3, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/4554365">http://zenodo.org/record/4554365</a>

Mactra guidoi n. sp. and Mactra patagonica (Bivalvia: Mactridae), two long misunderstood species from Southwestern Atlantic Ocean
A common mactrid from the southwestern Atlantic Ocean has been largely misunderstood in the literature. Since the early 20th century, this species has been referred to as Mactra patagonica d'Orbigny, 1846. However, the latter is recorded in Quaternary deposits of Northern Patagonia. Mactra guidoi n. sp. is described herein, including its shell ultrastructure, hinge features, and soft parts, and compared with the holotype of M. patagonica. To compare and to correctly identify both species, a morphometric analysis was carried out using conventional and geometric morphometric methods. Mactra guidoi n. sp. has an elongate shell that is more fragile than that of M. patagonica. In addition, its ventral posterior edge is usually sinuous. The ultrastructure of the shell reveals two layers with cross lamellar structure. The anatomical features agree with those of the congeneric M. isabelleana, although they differ in the morphology of the labial palps and foot. Morphometric analysis revealed significant differences between M. patagonica and the new species. The relative warp analysis allows us to understand the variation recognized by using CVA. Only M. patagonica revealed significant allometry between Relative Warp and Centroid size. Finally, the comparison of the types clearly points towards the existence of two different species.Fil: Signorelli, Javier Hernan. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas.
