The Holothurioidea (Echinodermata) collected during the Tyro Mauritania-II expedition 1988

During the Rumphius Biohistorical Expedition (4.xi-14.xii.l990) 52 specimens representing 27 holothurian species were collected. All the species are described, figured and discussed systematically. Six species are new to the fauna of Ambon; two of these are new to the fauna of Indonesia, and two are new species: Afrocucumis stracki and Chiridota smirnovi. The holothurian fauna of Ambon is now represented by 59 species.

Reef-dwelling Holothuroidea (Echinodermata) of the Spermonde Archipelago (South-West Sulawesi, Indonesia)

During the tyro Mauritania-II expedition (5-21.vi.1988) 15 holothurian species were collected between 19 and 1,900 m depth. Twelve species are new to the fauna of Mauritania, including Paracucumaria deridderae spec. nov. Mauritania represents the southern distribution limit of four species also known from Europe, and the northern distribution limit of five species also known from southern Africa.

Catalogue commenté des types d'Echinodermes actuels conservés dans les collections nationales belges

During a survey at the Spermonde Archipelago (22.viii-5.x.1994) 56 holothurian species were collected; ten are new to the fauna of Indonesia and one is new to science: Stichopus quadrifasciatus spec. nov. Most of the species are described, figured and discussed. As far as possible, all literature records from 1970 onwards are listed and a distribution map is given for each species.

Jangoux, M.; Massin, C..

The national zoological collections of Belgium house 434 types-specimens representing 64 nominal species of recent echinoderms (2crinoids, 21 holothuroids, 6 echinoids, 17 asteroids and 18 ophiuroids). Each species is presented (original name, current statute, museum characteristics, brief bibliography). A new synonymy is proposed for two species of asteroids.

Holothuries nouvelles et peu connues récoltées en Indonésie au cours de la Snellius-II Expedition

Ano: 1986

URL: http://www.vliz.be/imisdocs/publications/303511.pdf

This paper deals with nine new holothurian species viz. Duasmodactyla turriculacava, Cucumella indonesia, Psolus solidus, Holothuria (Acanthotrapeza) tripilata, Holothuria (Metriatyla) horrida, Allopatides corrugatus, Bathyherpystikes baculosus, Paroriza verrucosa, Laetmogone parvipedata, and three rare species viz. Thyone anomala Oestergren, 1898, Stolus papillatus (Sluiter, 1887), Psolidum rugosum Koehler & Vaney, 1905. These holothurians, collected during the Snellius-II Expedition, come from East Indonesia. Most of them were collected deeper than 100m. For each species, a description, a diagnosis, and a discussion on the relation with the nearest species are given.

A study of ossicle variation in Cucumariidae coming from the Weddell Sea (antarctica), the specimens ranging from 4 to 70 mm long, confirms that Heterocucumis steineni (Ludwig, 1898), Heterocucumis antarctica (Vaney, 1906) and Heterocucumis godfroyi (Vaney, 1914) represent different stages of a single species: H. steineni. A study of Heterocucumis steineni, H. denticulata (Ekman, 1927) and Staurocucumis liouvillei (Vaney, 1914) shows that the main ossicle change occurs early when specimens are 20 mm long or even less. A review of holothurian ossicle variation is given.

Three new species of dendrochirote holothurians are described: Echinopsolus parvipes, Cucumaria acuta, and Trachythyone maxima. The specimens were collected between 400 and 800m in the south-eastern Weddell Sea, Antarctica.

Reliquiaecava, a new genus of Coralliophilidae (Mollusca, Gastropoda)

Ano: 1992

URL: http://www.vliz.be/imisdocs/publications/303532.pdf

A new genus Reliquiaecava gen. n. is proposed for the species Leptoconchus robillardi Liénard, 1870. This new genus is created because the adult and embryonic shells and the ecology of the adult of the above mentioned species are very different from those of species belonging to the genera Leptoconchus, Coralliophila, and Coralliobia genera to which the species was formerly assigned in the literature. Probably, the two varieties described in the original description by Liénard, represent two different species.

Biologie et écologie de Leptoconchus peronii (Lamarck, 1818) (Gastropoda, Coralliophilidae) récolté en Papouasie Nouvelle-Guinée, avec une redescription de l'espèce

Bouillon, J.; Massin, C.; Kresevic, R..

Non siphonophoran hydrozoans from the collections of the RBINS, including 769 species, are presented according to the most current use in the actual literature. These collections house type material of 66 nominal species and varieties. For each species, and whenever possible, the locality, the reference number in the collection, the number of specimens, of colonies and of microscopic slides, the mode of preservation (alcohol, formalin, dry) and the date of collecting are given.

Leptoconchus peronii lives in faviid corals and nearly always between 3 and 7m depth. Female shell shape varies with the coral host. Most of the L. peronii are living in pairs, the male being smaller than the female, sometimes dwarfish. The female broods about ten egg capsules in the mantle cavity. The microsculpture of the larval shell is not a specific character. The siphon is partly and longitudinally divided over all its lenght. The type series of Leptoconchus peronii (Lamarck, 1818) is described and figured for the first time. Leptoconchus striatus Rüppel, 1835, type species of the genus Leptoconchus, and Leptoconchus schrenkii Lischke,...

On the taxonomic status of the genus Parathyone (Echinodermata, Holothurioidea, Dendrochirotida)

The genus Parathyone Deichmann, 1957 encloses two species, Parathyone surinamensis and Parathyone suspecta, and is close to the genus Ocnus Forbes, 1841. Ekmanothyone nomen novum is erected to replace the pre-occupied Parathyone Cherbonnier, 1988 (non Parathyone Deichmann, 1957).

On the association between the crab Hapalonotus reticulatus (Crustacea, Brachyura, Eumedonidae) and the sea cucumber Holothuria (Metriatyla) scabra (Echinodermata, Holothuridae)

VandenSpiegel, D.; Ovaere, A.; Massin, C..

A study of the fauna associated with holothurians from Hansa Bay (Papua New Guinea) reveals a new symbiotic association between the holothuroid Holothuria (Metriatyla) scabra and the crab Hapalonotus reticulatus. All the collected holothurians were infested, but with only one crab per holothurian, always in the right respiratory tree near the cloaca. Because of its size, H. reticulatus considerably expands the wall of the respiratory tree forming a membranaceous cyst. This association, therefore, appears to be parasitic. However, the crab does not feed upon host tissue but seems to filter its food from water passing through the respiratory tree of its host. The description of two males allows to...

Note on the genus Leptoconchus Rüppell, 1835 (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Coralliophilidae) with the description of two new species, Leptoconchus vangoethemi sp.n. and Leptococonchus cyphastreae sp.n. from Papua New Guinea

Ano: 1992

Two new species of Leptoconchus, Leptoconchus vangoethemisp.n. and Leptococonchus cyphastreae sp.n., from Papua New Guinea are described. Particular attention is paid to the larval shell and the burrow shape in the host coral. The host coral specificity and the taxonomic value of the larval shell are briefly discussed.
