Oedicerotidae
Abstract
Three genera and three new species of oedicerotid amphipods are reported from the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, Australia. The third species of southern hemisphere Monoculodes, Monoculodes tropicalis sp. nov., is the first in the genus with calceoli on the female antenna 2.
... The family Oedicerotidae is a very large and diverse cosmopolitan group of fossorial amphipods. This family contains more than 210 described species in 44 genera (Hughes and Lowry 2009). Oedicerotids are distributed worldwide and at all depths, from the intertidal to the abyss (Barnard and Karaman 1991;Bousfield and Chevrier 1996). ...
Four new species and two new genera belonging to the family Oedicerotidae are reported from Korea and Vietnam. Two new genera, Orthomanus and Imbachoculodes are described, with three new species, namely Orthomanus koreanus gen. et sp. nov., Imbachoculodes namhaensis gen. et sp. nov. and Imbachoculodes vietnamensis gen. et sp. nov. The monotypic genus Orthomanus is characterized by the very short carpi and transverse palms of gnathopods 1 and 2, the reduced dactyli on pereopods 3–6, and the greatly enlarged distolateral spine-tooth on the outer plate of maxilla 1. Imbachoculodes has slender gnathopods 1 and 2 with elongated carpi, pereopods 3 and 4 with elongated dactyli, and a narrow basis of pereopod 7. The fourth new species, Sinoediceros hwanghaensis sp. nov. has a greatly reduced flagellum on antenna 2, a broadened meri on pereopods 3 and 4, and an elongated maxilliped outer plate. Keys are provided to 1) the North Pacific genera of the Synchelidium group, 2) species of Imbachoculodes, and 3) species of Sinoediceros.
The first record of two genera of sublittoral amphipods, Autonoe Bruzelius, 1859 and Perioculodes G.O. Sars, 1892, is provided for Hawai‘i. The specimens most closely match Autonoe seurati (Chevreux 1907) and Perioculodes aequimanus (Kossmann, 1880). They were collected from an autonomous reef monitoring structure deployed in Honolulu Harbor, O‘ahu. Both species are likely recent introductions.
This work is the third publication on the new amphipod species collected from the Azores Triple junction zone by the cruises ATOS, DIVA 2, MARVEL, PICO and SEAHMA 1. Seven new species and a new genus are described belonging to six families, Eusiridae, Leucothoidae, Oedicerotidae, Phoxocephalidae, Pleustidae, and Podoceridae. They were sampled in four sites, Menez Gwen, Lucky Strike, Saldanha and Rainbow.
