Paradicranophorus Smet, 2015, sp. nov.
No full textParadicranophorus spp. Paradicranophorus sp. 1 is very similar in habitus to P. halophilus sp. nov. and occasionally co-occurring, but can not be described for lack of specimens. However, the trophi (Fig. 27 G, H) allow for an unambiguous distinction: main differences concern shape of rami, unci, apical rami teeth and preuncinal teeth, and the absence of a stout tooth on the inner ramus margin in Paradicranophorus sp. 1. It was found in psammon from the Costa Blanca and Tyrrhenian Sea, 50 m to 1 km off shore, depth 30−40 m, water temperature 22−24 °C. Two more species with affinities to Paradicranophorus wesenberglundi Sørensen, 2001 could not be described due to the small number of specimens available. Trophi of Paradicranophorus sp. 2 (Fig. 27 I) and 3 (Fig. 27 J) differ from those of P. wesenberglundi (see Sørensen 2001 b) by, amongst others, shape of unci and apical rami teeth; main differences distinguishing sp. 2 and sp. 3 are the shape of the median rami opening (lenticular in sp. 2 vs. elongate drop-shaped in sp. 3), and the manubria (evenly curved in sp. 2 vs. weakly incurved distally in sp. 3). Both species were found once at the Côte d’Azur: sp. 2 in the Hyères Archipelago at 4 km off shore and depth of 45 m; sp. 3 at Cap Bénat, 50 m from shoreline and depth of 20 m.Published as part of De Smet, Willem H., 2015, Rotifera from the Mediterranean Sea, with description of ten new species, pp. 151-196 in Zootaxa 4028 (2) on pages 190-191, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4028.2.1, http://zenodo.org/record/24055

Rami outline more or less hexagonal; rami opening more or less mushroom-shaped; rami broad, each with long drawn out and inwardly kinked dorsal apical ramus tooth, and a straight and shorter ventral apical ramus tooth (Fig. 9C: at); latero-ventrally at the base of the dorsal apical ramus teeth is a socket (Fig. 9C: s) wherein the base of the preuncinal teeth is articulating; rami mainly connected to fulcrum by basal chambers. Sub-basal chambers with rounded alula postero-laterally; their inner margins with long plate-shaped part extending beyond inner margins of basal chambers; oval sub-basifenestrae caudally. Basal chambers each with large drop-shaped fenestra dorso-caudally. Fulcrum very long, longer than rami, in lateral view straight, with broader basal part, gradually tapering distally. Unci single with well-developed head and shaft bearing ventral and dorsal rib, and a dorsally appressed (Fig. 9G, H, J: vt), rod-shaped element (vestigial uncus tooth?); head with small basal knob and rib at the inner side. Preuncinal teeth composed of two fused elements consisting of tooth and shaft. Intramallei short, quadrangular with inwardly directed projection bearing supramanubria; at the base of the spine is a caudal opening. Supramanubria L-shaped. Manubria somewhat longer than incus, rod-shaped, in dorsal/ventral view incurved posteriorly, cauda crutched, head triangular with opening at inner side.</p> <p>Measurements (N=5): ramus 6.0- 8.9 µm, fulcrum 8.3-9.4 µm, 4.0- 6.3 µm, manubrium 15.7- 17.1 µm, preuncinal tooth 3.2-3.8 µm, intramalleus 1.6-2.4 × 2.8-3.9 µm, supramanubrium 2.6-4.0 × 2.2-3.0 µm.</p> <p>REMARKS</p> <p> Donner (1964) probably assigned the species to the genus <i>Dicranophorus</i> because of its long toes, as was common practice formerly. However, the feature length of toes is a variable character and taxonomically irrelevant, as holds for several other rotifer genera. Jersabek (1994) stresses that several species with intramallei, and among them <i>D. liepolti</i>, have been incorrectly assigned to <i>Dicranophorus.</i> In his revision of the Dicranophoridae, De Smet (1997) considered the species <i>incertae sedis</i> in view of the presence of intramallei, a major character of the genus <i>Encentrum</i>. The results of the analysis of the trophi by SEM allows the reallocation of <i>D. liepolti</i> in the genus <i>Encentrum</i>.</p> <p>The original description of the morphology of the body of the female (Fig. 8A) is fairly accurate, except for the toes which show a joint at ⅓ from the tip forming claw, not mentioned by Donner (1964) (Fig. 8B, C).</p> <p> The trophi of <i>Encentrum liepolti</i> appear fairly derived, and due to their particular morphology, the species cannot be related to any other congener. It is distinguished by the very long fulcrum; the connection of the rami with the fulcrum which is mainly by the basal chambers and not by the subbasal chambers as in the other <i>Encentrum</i> species studied by SEM so far (see e.g., De Smet 1997); the preuncinal teeth composed of a pair of fused teeth articulating with the rami by a rami cavity, instead of singular preuncinal teeth more or less firmly attached or fused to the rami ventrally; the alulae present on the subbasal chambers (alulae only reported in the insufficiently described <i>E. asellicola</i> (Bartoš, 1947) and in <i>E. frenoti</i> De Smet, 2002; the alulae in <i>E. frenoti</i> and the angular postero-lateral corners, which could be interpreted as alulae,as found in <i>E. kulmatyckii</i> Wiszniewski, 1953 and members of the subgenus <i>Encentrum</i> always form part of the basal chambers; the single alula in <i>E. kutikovae</i> De Smet & Chernyshev, 2006 is part of an accessory right ramus chamber intercalated between the basal and sub-basal chambers; the implantation of the single alula on the right ramus in <i>E. ussuriensis</i> De Smet & Chernyshev, 2006 is unclear).</p> <p> To date <i>E. liepolti</i> was only found in Austria, Europe, among submerged vegetation and both at the surface and in the bed sediments of running waters (De Ridder & Segers 1997; Segers 2007).

Allodicranophorus Smet, 2015, gen. nov.
No full textGenus Allodicranophorus gen. nov. (Figs 22, 23) Diagnosis. Trophi symmetrical. Incus flat. Rami elongate; opening of subbasal chambers lateral, opening of basal chambers dorsal; rami tips blunt with minute medially directed blunt toothlet; inner margins without teeth; alulae absent. Fulcrum short, strongly expanded distally. Unci each with two equally long teeth composed of head and shaft. Manubria ramus length, with large head and rod-shaped cauda. Epipharynx two more or less trapezoid and slightly asymmetrical robust plates with large ventral opening. Type species. Allodicranophorus bulgaricus (Althaus, 1957) nov. comb. for Dicranophorus bulgaricus Althaus, 1957. Etymology. The name Allodicranophorus combines the Greek allos, meaning different, and Dicranophorus, alluding to the differences in trophi structure with the latter. Material. Several specimens from most of the study area (see Tab. 2 species list). A female in a permanent, glycerine glass slide mount deposited in the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences (RBINS), Brussels, Belgium, No. IG 33082, RIR 225. Comments. The external morphology of the species is typically dicranophorid-like, but the morphology of the trophi, which is the most important character state in the establishment of genera in Dicranophoridae (De Smet 1997), is completely aberrant. The unique combination of characters arguing for the establishment of a new genus of Dicranophoridae are: (1) the short distally enlarged fulcrum, (2) the manubria with large head of peculiar shape, (3) the two irregularly shaped hollow epipharyngeal plates, (4) the subbasifenestrae opening laterally, (5) the absence of distinct and medially projecting apical rami teeth, resulting in a wedge-shaped, distally open median rami opening. Description of female. Body fusiform (Fig. 22), sub-cylindrical, in lateral view weakly arched dorsally, almost straight ventrally. Head, trunk and foot distinctly offset by transversal folds; trunk with two additional transversal and two latero-dorsal folds. Rostrum small, rounded. Corona small, oblique frontal. Dorsal antenna near middle of head. Tail prominent, keeled, projecting beyond basal 1 / 3 of foot pseudosegment. Foot fairly long, conical-cylindrical, a single pseudosegment. Toes (Fig. 22 C, D) fairly short, slender, almost cylindrical with short acute end; distal end in lateral view slightly decurving ventrally. Eyespots absent. Brain saccate, large. Retrocerebral organ present; cerebral sac large, hemispherical, posteriorly on brain; subcerebral glands present. Proventriculus, stomach and intestine very weakly demarcated. Gastric glands globular, weakly lobate, stalked, ventral. Pedal glands weakly stalked, foot length. Vitellarium with twelve nuclei. Oviparous. Trophi (Fig. 22 E, 23) modified forcipate, symmetrical. Incus flat. Rami elongate, alulae absent; basal chambers larger than subbasal ones, proximal margin broadly rounded; subbasal chambers somewhat projecting beyond basal ones caudally, proximal margin more or less angular laterally; ending distally in shallow blunt projection whereupon unci rest; subbasifenestrae lateral, small, rounded-triangular, basifenestrae dorsal, large, ellipsoid; median rami opening wedge-shaped, distally open; inner margins of rami without teeth, distinct apical rami teeth absent, basal chambers apically with very short blunt, medially directed knob. Fulcrum short, in dorsal/ ventral view narrow proximally, strongly expanded distally, in lateral view slightly narrowing towards expanded distal end. Unci each with two equally long teeth composed of head and shaft; head dorsal tooth c. ¼ tooth length, head of ventral tooth c. ½ tooth length. Manubria ramus length, with large head and rod-shaped cauda; outer side with large opening of median (?) chamber, other chambers reduced. Epipharynx (Figs 22 F, 23 D, E) two more or less trapezoid and slightly asymmetrical robust plates, with marginal extensions and large ventral opening. Measurements. Body (N= 5): total length 190‒260 µm, toe 28‒32 µm; trophi (N= 5) length 14.3 −16.0 µm, incus 13.3‒14.7 µm, ramus 9.6‒10.9 µm, fulcrum 3.1‒4.9 µm, uncus 8.7‒11.6 µm, manubrium 11.0‒ 14.6 µm, epipharynx 7.3 ‒9.0 × 5.3‒6.4 µm; amictic egg 63‒88 × 41‒53 µm. Distribution and ecology. Allodicranophorus bulgaricus was to date only reported from the sublittoral (mesopsammon from 0.5 and 1 m) of its type locality, Varna, Sosopol, Bulgaria, Black Sea (Althaus 1957) and the sublittoral of Elba Island (De Smet 2007). In the present study it proved a rather common species of sublittoral psammon from the Costa Blanca, Golfe du Lion, Côte d’Azur, and Elba Island. It was found from 50 m to 5 km off shore, depth 15−50 m, June, August, September, October, water temperature 16−25 °C.Published as part of De Smet, Willem H., 2015, Rotifera from the Mediterranean Sea, with description of ten new species, pp. 151-196 in Zootaxa 4028 (2) on pages 179-181, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4028.2.1, http://zenodo.org/record/24055
Halolepadella Smet, 2015, gen. nov.
No full textGenus <i>Halolepadella</i> gen. nov. <p>(Figs 24, 25)</p> <p> <b>Diagnosis.</b> Lorica outline oval, compressed dorso-ventrally, closed laterally, with dorsal and ventral indentations for head and foot. Retractable head shield present. Foot with four pseudosegments; foot and toes completely retractable in trunk. Two slender, moderately long toes with acutely pointed claw. Trophi malleo-virgate. Rami reduced, triangular with lateral alulae. Fulcrum fairly short, thin, straight and less high, without distal expansion. Unci a thin plate with five slender teeth of decreasing length; head of teeth free, tiny additional linear teeth present. Manubria long, straight, head reduced; cauda strongly expanded.</p> <p> <b>Type species.</b> <i>Halolepadella pontica</i> (Althaus, 1957) <b>nov. comb.</b> for <i>Lepadella pontica</i> Althaus, 1957; junior synonym <i>Lepadella psammophila</i> Tzschaschel, 1978.</p> <p> <b>Etymology.</b> The prefix <i>halo</i> is derived from the Greek <i>hals</i>, salt, and refers to the saline environment the species lives in.</p> <p> <b>Material.</b> Several specimens from most of the study area (see Tab. 2 species list). A female in a permanent, glycerine glass slide mount deposited in the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences (RBINS), Brussels, Belgium, No. IG 33082, RIR 226.</p> <p> <b>Comments.</b> The main features differentiating the species from the genus <i>Lepadella</i> Bory de St. Vincent, 1826, and considered here as significant enough to justify the erection of a new genus are: (1) the foot and toes which are retractable in the lorica, but not retractable in <i>Lepadella</i>, and (2) the trophi morphology which is malleo-virgate, instead of malleate in <i>Lepadella</i>. The assignment to Lepadellidae is questionable and the trophi rather conform to the <i>Proales reinhardti</i> species group of Proalidae, characterized by reduced rami with strong apophyses and rami teeth fused into few stout projections, long distally incurved manubria with small head, plate-shaped unci with 4−5 larger teeth with free head, and foot opening delimited by a ventral and dorsal lobe of the lorica. The species is provisionally kept in family Lepadellidae awaiting molecular analyses to evaluate its exact phylogenetic position.</p> <p> Althaus (1957) erroneously interpreted the dorsal surface as being flat instead of arched, and described the toes as long and weakly incurved without mentioning the characteristic claws which, however, are clearly distinct in her microphotograph 13. The present author therefore opines that supposed differences between <i>Lepadella pontica</i> and <i>L. psammophila</i> result from inaccuracies in the original description, and the latter is here considered as subjective junior synonym. Koste (1978) synonymises <i>L. pontica</i> and <i>L. psammophila</i> with reserve, giving incorrectly priority to the second name.</p> <p> <b>Description of female.</b> Loricate. Lorica outline oval (Fig. 24 A, B); in cross-sectional view fairly convex and evenly arched dorsally, ventral margin flat to slightly concave; antero- dorsal sinus semi-hexangular, fairly narrow and shallow, with collar; antero-ventral sinus larger, semi-circular with small median indentation and slightly thickened border; head shield present (Fig. 24 E), median margin rounded, slightly strengthened, lateral margins weakly concave; lorica dorsally often with two more or less pronounced shallow longitudinal ridges extending from the lateral margins of the collar of the dorsal sinus till the corners of the foot opening, or continuing on the medio-dorsal lobe. Foot opening heart-shaped ventrally, dorsally elongate, narrowing distally, ventral and dorsal proximal margins a semi-circular lobe. Lateral antennae dorsal, close set, near corners of foot opening. Foot with four pseudosegments, distal segment longest, others almost equally long. Toes (Figs 24 D, F) slender, with long more or less cylindrical and distally tapering proximal part, and large, <i>c</i>. 3/4 of proximal part, lanceolate and movable distal spur; proximal part and spur with opening. Foot and toes completely retractable in trunk Four pedal glands. Two distinct pear-shaped, often dark-coloured salivary glands on mastax.</p> <p> Trophi malleo-virgate (Figs 24 G, 25). Rami strongly reduced, triangular, distal part recurved dorsally, very small; proximal part larger, with prominent distally rounded alulae and large dorsal opening; left ramus with strong basal apophysis, right ramus with at least three smaller sclerite elements, placed more apically; a fairly long cylindrical projection pointing antero-laterally (Figs 25 B, F, G: cp), left inserted on basal apophysis, right inserted on margin of ramus; subbasifenestrae small, rounded. Two long strings of sclerite bodies connected distally to rami; proximal sclerite bodies cylindrical and rounded terminally, distal ones becoming spherical. Fulcrum slightly longer than rami, thin, straight and less high, proximal extremity only slightly higher than distal one. Unci a thin plate with 5 slender knobbed teeth of decreasing length, and 1−2 tiny, linear additional teeth; free margin of major teeth with prominence at <i>c</i>. 2/3 from tip; subuncus a bundle of slender, fusiform sclerite bodies; preuncinal tooth lanceolate. Manubria long, straight, head reduced, cauda strong, bird’s head in appearance: ventrally curved and pointed, dorsally with rounded expansion; dorsal chamber a very thin triangular lamella, ventral chamber small, elongate triangular with small opening; median chamber with small elongate opening.</p> <p> <b>Measurements.</b> Body (N=10): lorica length 61‒80 µm, width 48‒60 µm, foot 18‒20 µm, toe 21‒28 µm, spur 10‒11 µm; trophi (N=5): length ~17−19 µm, ramus 2.6 µm, fulcrum 3.4 µm, uncus 5.2‒5.5 µm, manubrium 11.2‒11.4 µm.</p> <p> <b>Distribution and ecology.</b> The species was described from sublittoral psammon at 2 m depth from Spatnite pjasatzi near Varna, Bulgaria, Black Sea (Althaus 1957), and reported from the intertidal of a sandy beach at the island of Sylt, Germany, North Sea (Tzschaschel 1979, 1980, 1983) and sublittoral of Elba Island, Tyrrhenian Sea (De Smet 2007). The present observations extend its distribution to the sublittoral of the Costa Blanca and Côte d’Azur, at distances of 50 m to 8 km off shore and depth of 10−50 m; June, August, September, October, water temperature 15−23 °C.</p>Published as part of <i>De Smet, Willem H., 2015, Rotifera from the Mediterranean Sea, with description of ten new species, pp. 151-196 in Zootaxa 4028 (2)</i> on pages 181-182, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4028.2.1, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/240556">http://zenodo.org/record/240556</a>
