A new benthic dinoflagellate species, Prorocentrum bimaculatum sp. nov., is studied from Kuwaits marine sediments, based on detailed morphological and molecular data. Cells are large, oblong oval in shape. They are 49.955.3 mu m long and 38.443.2 mu m wide. The ornamentation of this new species is peculiar, and characterized by smooth valves with large pores (0.320.50 mu m) scattered on their surface, except in two circular patches of similar to 15 mu m in diameter, devoid of ornamentation and located on both sides of the valve centers. The periflagellar area is widely triangular, located in a moderate excavation of the right valve, and comprises nine platelets. The intercalary band of P. bimaculatum is smooth. The molecular phylogenetic position of this... |

A new snapping shrimp, Alpheus lutosus spec. nov., is described from the intertidal mudflats of Bubiyan Island, northern Kuwait, south of the vast Shatt-Al-Arab delta. The new species appears to be closely related to Alpheus hoplocheles Coutière, 1897 from similar estuarine habitats in China and Japan, differing mainly in the absence of a sharp distolateral tooth on the palm of the major chela, the less marked rostral carina, and the number of spines on the propodus of the third pereiopod. Both A. lutosus spec. nov. and A. hoplocheles are unique within the A. edwardsii species group in having a strong sharp distomesial tooth on the palm of the otherwise typical edwardsii-type major chela. At the type locality, A. lutosus spec. nov. is often associated with... |
