SABIIA - Sistema Aberto e Integrado de Informação em Agricultura (Sabiia)

Humes, Arthur G.; Dojiri, Masahiro.

Based upon material collected in Madagascar, Enewetak Atoll, New Caledonia, and the Moluccas, seventeen new species of Xarifia and one new species of a new xarifiid genus (Lipochrus) are described from various species of Acropora, Montipora, Alveopora, Cyphastrea, and Echinopora. Several previously known species of Xarifia are redescribed in part and new hosts and geographical records are listed. A key to the three genera of the Xarifiidae is provided, as well as tabular differentiation of the 39 species of Xarifia. The external morphology of Xarifia is discussed.

Stock, J.H. & A.G. Humes. Copepoda associated with Echinoidea from the West Indies. Studies nat. Hist. Caribbean Region 72, Amsterdam, 1995: 25-46. Four species of Copepoda (three Siphonostomatoida, one Poecilostomatoida) are recorded as associates of shallow-water echinoids, from Curaçao, St. Martin, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, and the Bahamas. The siphonostomatoids Chelacheres longipalpus and C. optans belong to a new genus and species of the family Asterocheridae. Another species of the same family is provisionally attributed to Asterocheres simulans (T. Scott, 1898), previously recorded from Europe only. A fourth species, of the genus Pseudanthessius (family Pseudanthessiidae), belongs to a new species, Ps. exilicornis.

In the present series of papers the results of two different field trips to the West Indies are coordinated. Each paper, dealing with a convenient taxonomic group, will be numbered separately. The sequence of the taxonomic units is arbitrary. Part of the material on which the results are based was collected by J.H.S. during a five months’ stay (October 1958-February 1959) in the Dutch West Indies (or Netherlands Antilles, as they are more officially called), which was made possible by a grant from the Netherlands Foundation for the Advancement of Research in Surinam and the Netherlands Antilles (WOSUNA), Amsterdam. The greater part of the time was spent at the Caribbean Marine Biological Institute, Piscadera Bay, Curaçao, although short visits to the other...

The cyclopoid copepod Pseudomyicola spinosus (Raffaele & Monticelli) from marine pelecypods, chiefly in Bermuda and the West Indies

Ano: 1980

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/504797

The myicolid copepod Pseudomyicola spinosus is reported from 22 new hosts (pelecypods) in Bermuda and the West Indies, from 1 new host (a pelecypod) in Madagascar, and from an ascidian (Pyuridae) in Curaçao (probably an accidental association). P. spinosus is redescribed, based on specimens from Isognomon alatus in Bermuda. Among 316 P. spinosus from Bermuda, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Barbados, Brazil, Senegal, Madagascar, and Jugoslavia the dimensions of the body and caudal ramus varied widely. The ornamentation of the anal segment showed four different conditions of spination, and sometimes included an extra long ventral setule on either or both sides. The specimens studied are regarded as one species, P. spinosus, without apparent subspecific differences....

Ano: 1963

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/506034

A new lichomolgid copepod, Scambicornus lobulatus, associated with a holothurian, Bohadschia graeffei, is described from the region of Nosy Bé, Madagascar. Certain previously described species of Scambicornus in that area are redescribed in part. New host records are: S. campanulipes from Actinopyga lecanora and A. miliaris, S. idoneus from Argiodia nobilis and Holothuria scabra, S. modestus from Brandtothuria impatiens and either Microthele difficilis or Urodemas ehrenbergi, and S. tuberatus from Bohadschia marmorata.

Redefinition of the genus Doridicola Leydig, 1853, synonymy of Metaxymolgus Humes & Stock, 1972, and establishment of a new genus, Critomolgus (Copepoda, Poecilostomatoida, Lichomolgidae)

Ano: 1967

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/504991

Humes, Arthur G.; Stock, Jan H..

The type-species of the genus Doridicola Leydig, 1853, D. agilis Leydig, 18 has been re-examined. The armature of the exopod of the fourth leg of D. agilis is II,I,5, thus identical to that of the genus Metaxymolgus Humes & Stock, 1972. Metaxymolgus is synonymized with Doridicola. Those species formerly attributed to Doridicola but having an armature of III,I,5 on the endopod of the fourth leg, are placed in a new genus, Critomolgus.
