Monodanthura is a new genus of the family Anthuridae (Crustacea: Isopoda: Anthuridea) closely related to Notanthura Monod, 1927. The new species M. maroccana proves that Notanthura is not synonymous with Haliophasma Haswell, 1881. ”Cyathura” liouvillei Monod, 1925, is closely related to the new species and belongs to the new genus Monodanthura.

Apanthuretta lathridia n. sp. (Crustacea: Isopoda: Anthuridea), the fifth species of the genus Apanthuretta Wägele, is described from interstitial water of a Cuban beach. A high number of morphological similarities with Apanthuretta pori Wägele (Red Sea) is noted.

A new hypogean Cyathura from New Caledonia (Crustacea, Isopoda, Anthuridea)

Ano: 1982

Cyathuva numeae n.sp. from New Caledonia is the sixth blind species of the genus Cyathura Norman & Stebbing, 1886, found in hypogean habitats. The new species lives in the interstitia of coastal sand or gravel, like C. milloti Chappuis et al., 1956, from Réunion. A close relationship to the other species is not obvious; the specific shape of the appendix masculina can be derived from the carinata-type. In contrast to the slender species, C. curassavica Stork, 1940, and C. specus Bowman, 1965, in the new species the adaptations to hypogean life are limited to the small body size and reduction of the eyes.

The hypogean Paranthuridae Cruregens Chilton and Curassanthura Kensley (Crustacea, Isopoda), with remarks on their morphology and adaptations

The morphology of the only two known hypogean Paranthuridae ( Cruregens fontanus Chilton, 1881; Curassanthura halma Kensley, 1981) is described. Curassanthura has no closely related marine relatives and must be placed at the base of the more specialized Paranthuridae; Cruregens is closely related to the specialized genus Colanthura, which lives in the upper littoral. Comparing the hypogean paranthurids with Colanthura, several analogies can be found in the hypogean species (body slender, only P 1 with stout subchela, P 4-6 slender, P 7 missing, uropods slender or short and bearing long setae), which can be explained from the way of living of the Paranthuridae.

A third species of the hypogean genus Curassanthura Kensley, 1981 (Isopoda, Anthuridea, Paranthuridae) is described from a cave on Bermuda. C. bermudensis n. sp. is very similar to C. halma Kensley, 1981, hitherto known from Curaçao, and now also recorded from new localities on Bonaire.

Neohyssura atlantica n.sp. from the Cape Verde Islands (Crustacea: Isopoda: Anthuridea)

Ano: 1985

A fourth species of Neohyssura is described from a beach of a lagoon of Ilha do Sal (Cape Verde Islands). The species is blind and can easily be recognized by the oval, spinose outline of the telson and the spines on the uropodal endopod.
