SERIAL PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION

The emphasis upon publications as a means of diffusing knowledge was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry articulated a program that included the following statement: “It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge.” This keynote of basic research has been adhered to over the years in the issuance of thousands of titles in serial publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series:

Smithsonian Annals of Flight

Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology

Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics

Smithsonian Contributions to Botany

Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences

Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology

Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology

Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology

In these series, the Institution publishes original articles and monographs dealing with the research and collections of its several museums and offices and of professional colleagues at other institutions of learning. These papers report newly acquired facts, synoptic interpretations of data, or original theory in specialized fields. These publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, laboratories, and other interested institutions and specialists throughout the world. Individual copies may be obtained from the Smithsonian Institution Press as long as stocks are available.

Barnard, J. Laurens. Sublittoral Gammaridea (Amphipoda) of the Hawaiian Islands. Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology, 34:1–286, 1970.—Gammaridean Amphipoda from depths of 0–30 m on hard bottoms are increased from about 40 to about 120 species, including 59 new species and 9 new genera and subgenera. About half of the species is endemic. Nearly 70 percent of the faunule has come from archipelagoes to the southwest of Hawaii, but only 15 percent of the faunule is of tropicopolitan character. About 20 percent of the fauna has affinities with cool waters of the Norm Pacific. This is the first significant record of cool-water species of any marine group in Hawaii. Most of these species have a tubicolous ecology, suggesting that nestlers are less successful in completing the long journey from the cool waters of northern continents. All but three species with cool-water affinities have diverged specifically from their mainland ancestors and at least two require erection of new genera to describe their divergence. Other endemic genera of Hawaii have low affinities with tropical Pacific faunas and have affinities with places like Antarctica, the Caribbean Sea, and warm-temperate Australia. The tropical component of Hawaiian Gammaridea is not impoverished by a priori standards of diversity. Few elements expected to occur in Hawaii are missing. No evidence of interisland adaptive radiation has been observed, but several pairs and triads of species with sibling affinities are described as a result of successive waves of immigration of parent species. Since no cool-water stepping stones occur between Hawaii and cool mainland shores of the Norm Pacific, the divergent cool-water species of Hawaii probably reflect morphological changes occurring after one increment of isolation. Some of these fairly radical changes such as loss of palp articles, coalescence of urosomites, and possibly axial reversal of dominance in gnathopods are seen to be of lower conservative value than heretofore accorded. This upsets classifications in Atylidae, Dexaminidae, Aoridae, and Isaeidae to a significant degree.

Official publication date is handstamped in a limited number of initial copies and is recorded in the Institution’s annual report, Smithsonian Year.

Sublittoral Gammaridea (Amphipoda) of the Hawaiian Islands

Introduction

Gammaridean Amphipoda of the Hawaiian chain were last reviewed by J. L. Barnard (1955a), but that report was based largely on a few intertidal and shallow sublittoral collections accumulated over the years in the Bernice P. Bishop Museum. The true sublittoral faunule had never been collected adequately and a somewhat impoverished fauna was presumed to be present. Through an exchange agreement between the Bishop Museum and the Smithsonian Institution, the writer was fortunate to spend 9 months of 1967 in the Hawaiian chain in order to explore this sublittoral fauna and refine the earlier taxonomy of the intertidal species.

This report treats primarily sublittoral collections, but new species, important new records, and various taxonomic problems involving intertidal amphipods are included. The littoral-sublittoral fauna is now increased from about 40 to about 120 species. Nine new genera and 59 new species are described. Several diverse genera have been studied as thoroughly as necessary to identify their individuals in most of their instars (Elasmopus, Colomastix, Gammaropsis, Leucothoe, Lembos, Ampithoe, Gitanopsis, Photis, Podocerus), but other genera remain to be so treated (Hyale, Maera, Stenothoe, Cymadusa).

This paper will be supplemented by the publication (Barnard, in press) of an illustrated key to the Hawaiian shallow-water Gammaridea; keys and special discussions on identification from that paper are therefore not included herein.

Purpose and Scope of the Study

The effects of insular isolation on terrestrial faunas and floras and to a degree in marine biotas are well known in the Hawaiian Islands. The study at hand was not formulated to replicate or reinforce any conclusions in that area of knowledge, for the taxonomy of Indo-Pacific Amphipoda is too rudimentary for any such treatment. This study was motivated simply by the need to establish the faunistic composition of Amphipoda in tropical biotic provinces.

Only one active taxonomic program on Gammaridea is being carried out anywhere in the world tropics (Pillai and Nayar in India) and to my knowledge, except for that contemporary program, there has never been a longtime resident gammaridean specialist in the tropics. James Dwight Dana, aboard the Wilkes U.S. Exploring Expedition, came closest to this categorization nearly 130 years ago.

Previous studies in the Indo-Pacific tropics have been summarized briefly by J. L. Barnard (1965a)¹ in a study of collections from atolls in Micronesia. The tabulation of the Micronesian fauna is no more complete than was the compilation made by J. L. Barnard (1955a) for the Hawaiian Islands. To illustrate the paucity of knowledge on amphipods in the tropics, one must state that the shores and shelves of Oahu now represent the second most intensively studied tropical area (after the Madras and Ceylon coasts) in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. The number of very rare species for which only a few individuals are at hand² suggests that further exploratory effort would continue to reveal additional Hawaiian species but probably with diminishing returns. The present fund of knowledge on Oahu corresponds to that of many nontropical continental shores and shelves of comparable size. This sampling of Oahu, though representing only a few square miles, presumably is a fair example of the large islands of the chain. One should expect little interisland speciation in a marine group of this kind but naturally some of the other islands may have certain species not recorded from Oahu. This circumstance is known to occur rarely in fishes and mollusks.

The exploratory effort on Oahu seems to be comparable to that effort of J. L. Barnard (1950–67)³ in the warm-temperate of California, taking a midpoint at Corona del Mar, California, from shore to 70 meters and 50 miles in either direction. It appears to be comparable to exploration carried out in parts of the Mediterranean (to 1925), New England (to 1918), cold-temperate Norway (to 1895), Point Barrow, Alaska (to 1955), South Africa (to 1925), and New Zealand but is undoubtedly exceeded by our knowledge of the current Norwegian cold-temperate fauna, that of cold-temperate British Isles, subarctic western Russia to north Norway and the cold-temperate to subarctic northern Japan Sea to Bering Sea, including the arctic embayment of the Sea of Okhotsk, tropical west Africa, and various antarctic and subantarctic regions. These are only subjective evaluations of the efforts made in exploration of various provinces. They are necessary if we are to make any conclusions about the composition and diversity of Hawaiian Amphipoda, by balancing initial but intensive exploratory efforts against one another on the probability that a major share of the common species has been collected.

Methods

Samples of littoral and sublittoral flora, rocks, and coral heads were obtained either by wading in intertidal zones or by utilizing rock dredges aboard vessels. A few samples were obtained with the help of scuba divers. Substrates were washed in large buckets of seawater poisoned with small amounts of formaldehyde to kill the amphipods. Residues settling to the bottom of the bucket were screened through a Tyler screen of 100 mesh per inch and preserved in a seawater solution of 5 percent formaldehyde. Amphipods were removed from the samples within 2 days of the collecting period and color notes were made, the amphipods being sorted into species and then subdivided according to color phenotypes. This process readily assisted in the detection of several species mat might have been overlooked but several species had as many as 4 significant color variants. Rapid sorting of the samples was possible by attention to color patterns in this artificial medium. Color in formaldehyde remained fairly stable for periods of 7 to 30 days after death. Notes on identification methods utilizing color will be presented elsewhere (Barnard, in press).

After gross sorting the specimens were represerved in 70 percent alcohol to await morphological study.

Samples of gross dimensions were made so as to collect large quantities of amphipods (see station list in Appendix 2). Generally an hour was spent collecting the materials for each sample in the field and the number of specimens of amphipods usually exceeded 10,000 per sample. Aliquots of 500 to 1,000 specimens were taken from each sample and counted by species (Appendix 2) and each sample then searched for individuals of rare species. The counts given in Appendix 2 represent the numerical proportions of each species encountered in the aliquot, the numbers occasionally having been reduced to low common denominators. Those species having only one individual in a sample represent taxa not found in the aliquot but found elsewhere in the sample. Besides aliquots many other specimens of rare species were removed from the samples for taxonomic analysis and curatorial preservation in the collections of the Bishop Musuem and the Smithsonian Institution.

Marine Biogeography of the Hawaiian Islands

A conspicuous part of the gammaridean Amphipoda differ so strikingly in their geographic affinities from other marine groups of Hawaii that a brief discussion of those groups is warranted so as to document this contrast clearly. A significant percentage (20) of Hawaiian Gammaridea appear to have direct affinities with warm and cold-temperate waters of adjacent continents and especially to warm-temperate California. Few other marine groups have any affinities with America.

Ekman (1953) summarizes the Hawaiian situation compactly. He notes in Vaughan’s work on scleractinian corals their strong relationship to the western Indo-Pacific and the scarcity of endemic genera; but several reef-building families are missing from Hawaii.

More than a third of the warmwater echinoderm species are endemic, but less than ten percent of the genera are endemic and the others are Indo-Malayan.

None of the 70 species of warmwater starfishes lives in America but a few echinoids and ophiuroids do live there.

The fish fauna has smaller percentages of endemic taxa than the invertebrates mentioned, but the west Pacific character of the fauna is even more pronounced in fishes than in the invertebrates.

Edmondson (1940) points out the following generalities about the marine invertebrate biogeography of Hawaii in greater detail than Ekman: (1) corals have their affinities with the Indo-Pacific region but are attenuated by the absence of various families and the absence of all but a few species of the characteristic genus Acropora except in the leeward part of the chain; Vaughan finds little relationship of corals to American waters; (2) Hawaiian echinoderms have their affinities with the Indo-Pacific, have a strong Japanese element, but a very small group is believed to have reached Hawaii from tropical America; (3) gastropods also have notable affinities with Japanese faunas though the bulk is purely Indo-Pacific; gastropods have stronger connections to tropical America than do pelecypods, most of which are endemic to Hawaii even though they have Indo-Pacific affinities; (4) many of the common Hawaiian macrocrustaceans have pan-Indo-Pacific or Japanese distributions and there is a strong influence of Polynesian Crustacea on the shores of tropical America but little evidence of migration between America and Hawaii is seen (by Rathbun).

Though students of stony corals (Scleractinia) found little relationship between the faunas of the American tropical Pacific and Hawaii, the most recent study by Scmires (1959) shows that 11 of 22 species of eastern Pacific reef corals also occur in the Indo-Pacific, and 8 of 27 coral species in the Gulf of California occur in Hawaii. Ahermatypic corals of the eastern Pacific, however, have a very low specific relationship to the Indo-Pacific, for only 6 of 55 species occur to the west. A total of 18 percent of all American Pacific tropical species also occurs in the Indo-Pacific (13 out of 74 species). The generic relationships are strong with the Indo-Pacific and weak with the Caribbean.

De Laubenfels (1957) notes that a weak affinity with America is the only conspicuous relationship yet to be seen or understood in Hawaiian Porifera, but studies in that group from the Central Pacific were cut short by Dr. de Laubenfels’ untimely death.

According to Knox (1958) about 43 percent of the Hawaiian shallow-water polychaetes are endemic to the islands and the relationships of the others are with Japan and Indo-Malaya rather than with the tropical Pacific. Knox treated only a portion of the fauna and since that time Hartman (1966) has reviewed the fauna. She reports 168 species of polychaetes occurring in depths of 0-200 m, of which 42 percent are endemic, 31 percent cosmopolitan or subcosmopolitan in the tropics, 13 percent of Pacific distribution and 14 percent of Indo-Pacific distribution. Connections with warm-temperate North America appear non-existent.

Hawaiian Bryozoa are comprised of 46 genera and 80 species of which only 10 species and no genera are endemic (Okada and Mawatari, 1958). Many Japanese and Californian species occur in the fauna, as yet poorly explored. Continental provinces have many times more species but are more thoroughly explored (Malay province with 637 and California-Peru with 520 species).

Kohn (1959) notes that no species of eastern Pacific Conus occur in Hawaii.

About 50 percent of the 400–500 species of inshore Hawaiian fish are endemic but only two endemic genera are known (Gosline, 1958). The fauna is a balanced one and not impoverished. Apparendy, no specific connection occurs between Hawaii and the warm-temperate of North America (Gosline and Brock, 1960).

Endemic Gammaridea of the Tropics

Myers (1940) wrote that Hawaiian fish distributions support the thesis of Austin Clark on echinoderms, that the Atlantic Ocean is an inland sea biologically, meaning diat the tropical Adantic Ocean may be defined biogeographically by the lack of certain Indo-Pacific groups and not by the positive occurrence of unique groups. Myers and Clark are of course discussing taxa at the family level. In contrast, the endemic families of Gammaridea are so poorly represented in the tropics that a comparable analysis to diat made for fishes and echinoderms has to be concerned with genera. Table 1 has been prepared as a list of facts about the Gammaridea, of which there are more than 500 known tropical species, or about 20 percent of the world total. More than 150 genera, slightly more than 25 percent of the known world genera, occur in the tropics. Very few pantropical endemic genera occur, for most of the pantropical genera have also spread into high latitudes or have entered the tropics from other seas. Only 32 endemic Indo-Pacific genera are known and most of these are monotypic. This approximates the number of endemic abyssal genera and demonstrates how weak Gammaridea appear to be in the tropics. This weakness may be a function of eurythermy and highly successful dispersal methods so that gammaridean genera, once differentiated, tend to radiate out of the tropics. But it also points to the fact that the Gammaridea may be less adapted to tropical climes man to cooler waters. This is especially marked by the large number of tropical west African genera diat are simply imports from north Atlantic warm and cold-temperate waters and by the large number of imports to Hawaii from American cold waters. The tropics of west Africa is, of course, a narrower band of environment than an eastern continental shore and may have considerable upwelling like diat occurring along western America. And Hawaiian thermal regimes are not purely tropical. West tropical Africa seems to have been adequately studied in relation to the Indo-Pacific tropics, for it has over 70 genera already reported, while nearly 130 occur in the Indo-Pacific. The entire tropical Atiantic has over 90 genera but the western Atiantic is very poorly known. The situation in Gammaridea parallels that in fishes mentioned by Myers; the tropical Atlantic can be described in terms of what it lacks of Indo-Pacific genera, while a strong secondary factor is the high fraction of genera immigrated from cooler seas to replace missing Indo-Pacific taxa. Many of these west African genera are represented by one or a few species of genera otherwise centered in higher latitudes.

TABLE 1.—Resume of tropical Gammaridea. Includes all Hawaiian species and those from South China Sea (Imbach, in press)

The Indo-Pacific also has similar cool-water imports but a significant proportion of their records comes from the days of amphipod taxonomy when species superficially familiar to a European taxonomist were firmly identified with the European members. In my opinion, these identifications remain to be confirmed.

Composition and General Relationships of the Gammaridean Fauna

Even a rudimentary knowledge of the world of Gammaridea and especially their tropical taxa made it possible to predict widi fair success the kinds of tropical amphipods that might occur in Hawaii (Table 2),⁴ but the overall prediction contained two gross errors diat are of interest to biogeographers. In the first place, the estimates were based only on tropical components since no significant occurrence of cold-water imports was expected; in the second place, the maximal estimates based on tropical imports were expected to pinpoint, by negative occurrences, not only an impoverishment of species in common genera but the complete absence of significant familial or generic groups. The fulfillment and overfulfillment of these estimates demonstrate the presence of a rich, balanced fauna of tropical amphipods. The few missing elements appear insignificant in the final analysis and some have probably been replaced by unpredicted taxa. Several of the tropical genera are surprisingly more diverse than expected (Table 2). Appended to the tropical fauna is a diversity increment of more than 70 percent, an element composed mainly of cool-water species from American and Japanese waters. Few of these could have been brought to Hawaii by human means.

TABLE 2.—Continued

Numbers in parentheses are codes for column 4. Codes 1 and 2 ire amplified in columns 1 and 2. Column 3 provides quick reference to genera known to occur in Hawaii prior to 1967. Note that most would have been predicted to occur according to reasons in column 4. The partial success in predicting additional genera and species demonstrates the low occurrence of generic endemicity and the very low occurrence of sweepstakes dispersal in this marine group. But the occurrence of occasional affinities to North American warm-temperate regions upset the success of the prediction. See Tables 3 and 4. Family names listed are exclusive of genera in those families also expected. The cosmopolitan index ranges from A–G as based on 7 arbitrary geographic areas quoted in Barnard (1965a, table 1), from the Red Sea to Hawaii. The higher the letter (G is highest), the broader is the Indo-Pacific distribution. In column 5 the species expected to occur in Hawaii are in addition to any already known there. If the predicted number is lower than the actual number known to occur then the category is more diverse than predicted. The initials “NM” indicate very strong cases for predicting the number of species stated. Note that many were overfulfilled.

These conditions indicate that the main Indo-Pacific amphipod fauna probably will be found to be far more diverse than indicated by previous studies and that my estimates of Hawaiian impoverishment, based on the literature, have been too low. Probably it will be shown that: (1) the tropical component of Hawaii is indeed impoverished by a revised standard and open niches may have been partially filled with cool-water imports; (2) numerous kinds of fully tropical amphipods, though dispersed into the vicinity of the Hawaiian Islands, fail to become established because of marginal thermal conditions and the absence of suitable physical and biotic substrates (e.g., acroporan corals); (3) cool-water organisms also dispersed into the vicinity of Hawaii have been able to survive in the marginal thermal conditions because fully tropical amphipods have not occupied certain favorable niches.

The Hawaiian shallow-water fauna has the normal appearance of the tropics in the presence of numerous species of Hyale, Elasmopus, Gammaropsis, Cymadusa, Lembos, and Maera, but these widely dispersed genera are not always strong indicators of tropical conditions for many extend abundantly through warm-temperate regions and become reduced markedly in diversity only within cold-temperate waters. There is a possibility that Hyale will be shown to be impoverished in Hawaii when the continental Indo-Pacific fauna is better known, but for the present the other genera mentioned above are far more diverse in Hawaii than expected and more diverse than in any other restricted locality so far studied in the Indo-Pacific.

Various other tropical indicators occur in Hawaii either as members of tropical genera or as specifically tropical species, but a large share of these also extends far into warm-temperate regions (Table 4).

About half of the Hawaiian Gammaridea is endemic, as far as known, to the Hawaiian chain (Table 4), but our knowledge of many taxa to the west and south is poor and some Hawaiian species will undoubtedly be found there. The species of Amphilochus and Gitanopsis, for instance, are presumably associated with scleractinians and this relationship has been previously unknown and unstudied in the tropics. The smallbodied taxa have apparently been ignored or overlooked previously.

TABLE 4.—Distribution of Hawaiian Gammaridea by groups of geographic affinity, commencing with widespread species and terminating with endemic species having highly topical (sic!) affinities

The other half of Hawaiian Gammaridea has broader distributions and one-seventh of the total Gammaridea is circumtropical. A few species are distributed between the central Pacific and the Caribbean Sea but most of the remainder occur either throughout the Indo-Pacific or as far west as Micronesia.

Cognates of endemic species are dominated by those with affinities to American shores, as the remaining half of the endemic species has cognates divided among the Caribbean Sea, warm-temperate Australia, the central Pacific, the Indo-Pacific, and antiboreal regions. This presumably indicates the higher frequency of long-term interruption to continuous gene flow between Hawaii and America than between Hawaii and places to the west and south. The migratory direction of all taxa between America and Hawaii cannot be elucidated. Several of the species of Amphilochus and Gitanopsis may have moved from west to east because more species of the genera occur in Hawaii than in America and because their scleractinian hosts are a stronger dominant of Hawaiian waters than of American waters. American pocilloporans also came from the west but whether Hawaii formed their stepping stone is debatable. In contrast, the amphipods Parajassa, Ventojassa, and other ischyrocerids may have come to Hawaii from America or Asia because the family Ischyroceridae is more typical of cool-water continents than it is of purely tropical zones.

Species of Amphipoda coming to Hawaii from the west must maintain more frequent genetic contact than those from America as there is a smaller proportion of Hawaiian species with immediate⁵ southwestern affinities in relation to the total affinity structure of the Hawaiian fauna than with American affinities. Thus, 30 percent of the Hawaiian fauna is of cool-water affinity and nearly 90 percent of those species is endemic, whereas only half of the remaining 70 percent of the Hawaiian fauna with tropical affinities is composed of endemic species.

Taxa not expected to occur in the Hawaiian Islands are heavily oriented to cool waters (Table 2, terminus), primarily in warm-temperate regimes. Only Ochlesis, of 12 unpredicted genera, was previously known in tropical waters. Few of the remaining genera are expected to be found as common members of the ultratropical regime. A list of nine genera that are substitutes for predicted families is also given in Table 2, and only one of these is of widespread tropical occurrence, whereas most of the others occur primarily in nontropical waters.

The Pantropical and Indo-Pacific Element

Before the present study was commenced, the Indo-Pacific tropics had 297 species of gammarideans, 11 of them endemic to Hawaii (J. L. Barnard, 1965a, Table I and see footnote herein, p. 1). About 40 of those species are widespread through four or more of the seven regions that the Indo-Pacific was divided into by Barnard. The sum of 40 species has been amplified by recent knowledge extending ranges of a few species into the eastern Pacific. Slightly more than half of those species (22) has been collected in Hawaii but several of the remainder can possibly be dismissed as “problem” records. For example, Leucothoe furina and L. spinicarpa, as representative of widespread species, may be the result of taxonomic errors and Elasmopus spinimanus may be the catchall for various misidentifications. Two species of Synopia have not been looked for in Hawaii, and various others like Cyproidea ornata are difficult to find in cursory surveys. The list of missing members of the 40 is narrowed to the following significant species, that, were they in Hawaii, should have been collected in the surveys so far completed: Ceradocus “rubromaculatus,” ⁶ Cerapus tubularis, Cheiriphotis megacheles, Jassa falcata, Maera inaequipes, Lembos podoceroides, and Parelasmopus suluensis. The latter two species are confined to the Indo-Pacific region and their absence in Hawaii might indicate Hawaii’s isolation or weakly tropical thermal regime but the absence of the other four may indicate primarily isolation as they also occur in the eastern Pacific Ocean. How they may have bypassed Hawaii is of considerable interest. Other widespread species like Leucothoella bannwarthi, Dexaminoides orientalis, and Iphimedia discrete have been sought in Hawaii but the first two may occur on ascidians and may not have been able to reach Hawaii without a simultaneous journey of their hosts.

Significantly, only two species of Indo-Pacific tropical Ceradocus occur, the widespread C. “rubromaculatus” everywhere but Hawaii, and the endemic C. hawaiensis. Though Cheiriphotis megacheles occurs from the Indian Ocean eastward to the warm-temperate of California and lives sympatrically in Mexico with Ventojassa ventosa and Parajassa angularis, the missing Cheiriphotis in Hawaii may be the result of the presence of only two niches available for this morphotype; Cheiriphotis strongly resembles the other two genera in physical appearance.

The presumed absence of Cerapus tubularis reflects the possibility that an organism obligatorily living in a portable cone made of sand grains has not been able to make the long journey to Hawaii whereas organisms with fixed soft tubes would not easily fall off of flotsam. But C. tubularis has made the journey from Asia and Europe to N. America or vice versa.

The absence of Jassa falcata and Maera i. inaequipes may reinforce the heretofore weak supposition that they have been distributed in subcosmopolitan degree by ships rather than by natural means and that, by chance alone, the ships coming to Hawaii have succeeded in bringing Corophium acherusicum, C. insidiosum, perhaps Elasmopus rapax, Stenothoe valida, S. gallensis, and Podocerus brasiliensis but have failed to bring the other 2 species.

The vacuum formed by the absence of an expected acanthonotozomatid is filled by an ochlesid, representing a monotypic family presumed to have evolved from acanthonotozomatid ancestors.

Members of the Galliopiidae such as Atylopsis and Apherusa have been found in tropical and warm-temperate zones but none has been found in Hawaii.

Tropical genera like Idunella, Byblis, Tiron, and Isaea, missing so far in Hawaii, occur on sedimentary bottoms or on fishes and have not been pursued.

One might presume that among the list of 297 Indo-Pacific tropical species occurs a significant number that, as explorations continue, will be found to be more widespread than is now known. If not found in Hawaii, these widespread species, when added to the present list, will impart a stronger measure of isolation, and perhaps impoverishment, to the Hawaiian analysis than now shown.

The Pacific Tropical Element

Though Hawaii has many of the pantropical and widely dispersed Indo-Pacific elements in its fauna, they, like the restricted fauna of the central and western Pacific Ocean, have their migratory pathways to Hawaii through the tropical islands nearest Hawaii. The nearest archipelagos are the Line Islands to the south, the Phoenix and Gilbert Islands to the southwest, and the Marshall Islands to the west-southwest. Johnston Island may serve as a stepping stone for southern Polynesian and Micronesian species dispersing to Hawaii. That small atoll “717” miles from Honolulu may be a stepping stone for fishes (Gosline, 1955). Whereas 14 fishes of southern origin have reached Johnston but have not passed on to Hawaii, 16 fishes otherwise endemic to Hawaii have also reached Johnston. Gosline concludes that Johnston is an outlier of the Hawaiian Archipelago rather than a peripheral component of the central Pacific faunal area. The two groups of fishes are notably subequal in number (16 and 14) and this might indicate that Johnston formed a perfect stepping stone except for the probability that the pressure of migration toward Johnston from the west and south must be higher than that from Hawaii. In view of the impressive list of fishes occurring in both places (86) that migratory pressure is obviously of sufficient magnitude to extend well beyond Johnston toward Hawaii from Polynesia. One must presume that most of these fishes are of central Pacific rather than Hawaiian origin. How many of those necessarily using Johnston as a stepping stone is unknown. One has to balance the small target size of Johnston and the large target size of the remoter Hawaiian chain against the probability that once a fish is entrained within a migratory journey it has a greater chance of hitting a large target than a small, despite the moderately greater distance of the larger target.

Phycophilous Gammaridea probably do not migrate as active nekters, although the instigation of an accidental journey may come when a species has fully saturated its habitat and high numbers of individuals in a theme are carried away in flotsam by storms. I judge that few Amphipoda have necessarily required Johnston Island as a way-station for consolidation of their populations before the extended journey to Hawaii has been undertaken. But Gosline’s (1955) analysis does offer evidence to refute the target theory in the sense that only a tiny fraction of fish taxa shared between the Line Islands and the Hawaiian chain does not also occur in Johnston Island. This may support the stepping stone theory unless one can demonstrate that Johnston has all of those common fishes because of extremely high dispersion pressure from the direction of the Line Islands or because many of the species have reached Johnston in remigrations from Hawaii.

Approximately 80 percent of the Hawaiian Amphipoda have passed through the nearest tropical islands, and we should expect that the strongest direct affinities of Hawaiian Amphipoda are therefore with those southwestern archipelagos, but the picture is not simple. About 75 percent of the tropical Hawaiian species that obviously had to reach Hawaii from the west or south are composed of species not strictly central Pacific in distribution. They are species of circumtropical character, or those of broad Indo-Pacific affinities. The nearby Micronesian and Polynesian archipelagos seem to have contributed only about 25 percent of the Hawaiian tropical component from their endemic members. This calculation suggests an obvious biogeographic fact that widespread marine species are hindered in their distribution by few barriers within their thermal regimes. But it also equates the proportions of imports from Micronesia-Polynesia with those from North America. Though Polynesia forms the bridge for the dispersal of cosmopolitan species, it has not provided a major share of Hawaiian species from its own pool of endemics. Micronesia may actually have a low proportion of endemics as the archipelagos are not significantly isolated from the Indo-Pacific. Lesser Polynesia is therefore not comparable to the warm-temperate of North America because the species of the latter region are essentially all classed as endemic, not distributed anywhere in the tropics, whereas the fauna of Micronesia-Polynesia is composed mostly of species distributed elsewhere in the tropics. The question is at best academic but one that could be misinterpreted by overestimating the importance of the American contribution to Hawaii in comparing its 20 percent of the input with the 20 percent input from Micronesia-Polynesia. The significance of the American input is that whereas the Micronesian-Polynesian element is presumably broadly preadapted to existence in Hawaii, the cool-water American element is not. The contrast is not completely extreme, however, for Hawaii is not metatropical and many Polynesian elements presumably would not survive on its shores. The real Micronesian-Polynesian element must include all of its nonendemic components. In balancing the mechanisms one must consider the species of the pantropical element in a different light from others. Most of them would have reached and have become established in Hawaii under most circumstances; they occur in and therefore originated from Micronesia-Polynesia. The cool-water American element may have reached the importance of the endemic Micronesia-Polynesia element because that tropical element is low in diversity, whereas the American element is extremely high in diversity.

Two conspicuous elements of the Polynesian-Micronesian fauna do not appear to have reached Hawaii. Xenocheira, with two species in Australia, Indonesia, and Polynesia, and the very abundant Micronesian Lembopsis tridens (Schellenberg) (formerly placed in the genus Microdeutopus) have not been found in Hawaii.

The Cool-Water Northern Element

Establishment of Hawaiian species in archipelagos to the south and west of Hawaii may be difficult to detect in various marine groups unless one can recognize them through generic analysis and values of probability, because Hawaii apparently is a destination and not a stepping stone for species coming from cool-water America. In another vein Hawaii may be far less significant as a stepping stone from west to east than the Marquesas Islands. No Hawaiian group other than Amphipoda, as yet studied, seems to have any significant affinities with the Americas except perhaps in the direction from west to east (corals). Approximately 25 species of Hawaiian Amphipoda have clear affinities with North America and if cognates of those species occur to the west and south of Hawaii in such places as the Line Islands or the Marshall Islands, one must presume very strongly that Hawaii served as the stepping stone and the evolutionary ground for those taxa. But there is little doubt that any of the cool-water Hawaiian imports will be found in those other places, even as far as Johnston Island. The fishes of Hawaii, as an example of most of the known marine groups, have no affinities with North America; they are of Indo-Pacific tropical origin and in possibly passing to and from Hawaii have left little direct evidence of their migratory directions. One may thus suggest that Hawaii is almost completely positive as an area of biological demand and almost completely negative as an area of biological supply as far as Amphipoda are concerned.

The discovery of a significant fauna of cool-water American origin in Hawaii adds another facet to the calculations heretofore described in attempting to predict the faunal structure of Hawaiian Amphipoda. The previous discussion on the tropical Hawaiian component has already demonstrated that no significantly diverse tropical group of amphipods has failed to reach Hawaii, although the Lysianassidae are short of species in comparison to the coasts of India. We must consider which of those elements in the rich American faunule has succeeded in becoming established and which has not, so as to suggest, perhaps, fruitful lines of ecologic inquiry. Amphipoda of epifaunal habitat have to be separated from the North American faunal pool because the Hawaiian mud-bottom fauna is not being considered (Table 6).

Again, as in previous conclusions, this discussion is under the influence of various exploratory deficiencies. The score of Hawaiian species with American affinities has been detected primarily under an aegis of a literature that includes only warm-temperate and cold-temperate America. Tropical America is virtually unknown. Additional Hawaiian species may have tropical American affinities and, indeed, several of the American warm-temperate species may extend into American tropical waters. Many of these extended species, if occurring, may not be dismissed as semiubiquitous species if they are found to occur in the tropics only in habitats influenced by cool-water upwelling. Under that circumstance, they would still qualify as cool-water species.

Almost all of the Hawaiian imports from America have an ecological relationship to marine plants but only three of them might be considered as simple nestlers (Atylus nani, Ceradocus hawaiensis, and Pontogeneia pacifica). At least a half dozen of the species are probably semi-inquilines, being associated with small sessile invertebrates that may be attached to algae or masses of dead material (Amphilochus, Gitanopsis, Gitana, and Leucothoe). The remainder are tubicolous amphipods, building soft tubes attached mainly to algae or marine grasses or occasionally hard substrates.

In the Californian epifaunal Amphipoda there are 40 species of nestlers, 10 species of inquilines, and 45 species of tubicolous habit (Table 5). The proportion of Hawaiian nestlers (about 20 percent of the total Hawaiian species with American affinities) seems fairly low in relation to the pool of continental nestlers. The high proportion of Hawaiian species of tubicolous habit (nearly 60 percent of the Hawaiian-American imports) and inquilinous relationship (20 percent) suggest that these kinds of taxa with obligatory, or semiobligatory, fixed positions are more successful in completing long and difficult journeys than are nestling amphipods. The latter may have a higher tendency to swim away from an object entrained in a journey than are amphipods with a microhoming instinct oriented to a tube, burrow, or host. The nestler would thus be lost during the journey more frequently as it would evacuate its vehicle, food, and place of rest. As the migratory vehicle passed through different hydrographic environments, the reaction of the nestler may be to swim actively so as to escape unfavorable conditions, whereas the domicolous animal may cling even tighter to its home. If the unfavorable conditions are transitory or not ultimately fatal, the domicolous animal might survive the full journey more frequently than the nestler.

A strong exception to this possibility may occur in the discovery of dense populations of the nestler Hyale species accompanying masses of Sargassum as flotsam far from shore (J. L. Barnard 1961), but the theory is not an all or none situation, and Hyale is not an average nestler in the sense of its enormously dense populations on that substrate. Such flotsam may also not have passed through unfavorable hydrographic conditions.

Two of the three Hawaiian nestlers of American affinity would have been of improbable prediction as one should expect the candidates from the American pool to be composed of very abundant genera in warm-temperate regions, but Atylus, especially, and Pontogeneia are rare in the Californian warm-temperate. They are primarily centered in cold-temperate waters. The species group from which the Hawaiian Atylus may have come is not found farther south than middle California. The one Hawaiian species of Ceradocus also has affinities with the southern (Mexican) species of Ceradocus. The genus is not abundant in Pacific warm-temperate America.

The puzzle of Amphilochus, Gitanopsis, Konatopus, and various ischyrocerids is discussed elsewhere.

Of the remaining species, the two members of Aoroides, the two of Gammaropsis, the one Stenothoe, one Leucothoe, and one Ampithoe would have been included in a prediction as they belong to genera with high population numbers on continental shores nearest Hawaii. But the occurrence of even one species of Aoroides might not have been predicted because of low generic diversity. The new species from Hawaii represents only the third Pacific member of the genus.

Continental Amphipoda that have not arrived in Hawaii or, by the terms of the present exploration, would not seem to be significantly abundant in Hawaii are noted in Table 6. There is a surprising conformity in the total number of epifaunal species in the California warm-temperate (109) and Hawaiian (116) regions, with a fair balance in the familial and generic representation. Hawaii has only four fewer genera than does the Californian warm-temperate. There is scarcely any morphotype or niche represented in the Californian pool that is not already represented in Hawaii either through warm-temperate imports or in the tropical component.

The Southwestern Warm-Temperate Element

There can be no species in Hawaii that also occurs both in the warm-temperate Australian region and in the tropics that would not be classed as a widespread tropical-warm-temperate species. No species has been identified as discontinuously distributed between the two extremes, but several endemic Hawaiian species such as Biancolina mauihina, Colomastix lunalilo, Laetmatophilus hala, Palinnotus alaniphlias, Seba ekepuu, and Podocerus hanapepe have their closest affinities with the antiwarm-temperate region. If one added these species to those widespread tropical-warm-temperate species also occurring in the Australian area, one might strike a remarkable affinity between the two areas. But several of these endemic Hawaiian species may be figmentarily related to the Australian regime as they belong to groups not yet studied in the tropics or subtropics of either the eastern Pacific Ocean or the Indo-Pacific. It may be happenstance that they are known in Australia, possibly as southward extensions from tropical centers of gravity, and not yet found in the main Indo-Pacific. They must be reserved for future consideration.

The Tropical American and Caribbean Element

Only six Hawaiian species of Ampipoda are considered presently to have affinities with tropical America. One of these species, the endemic Gitanopsis pele, is a very conspicuous cognate of the Caribbean G. tortugae and because the Pacific side of tropical America is virtually unexplored for amphipods we might presume that the more direct relationship is with a taxon in the east tropical Pacific that is either G. tortugae itself or another cognate. That a direct pathway between tropical America and Hawaii is possible for amphipods is shown in the occurrence of the Caribbean-E. Pacific Ampelisea schellenbergi in Hawaii. There is no morphological distinction among various populations of this species, and it does not qualify as a taxon that could be transported artificially.

Leucothoides Poottsi represents the next best case of a direct connection between tropical America and the central Pacific Ocean, but there is a modicum of doubt as to whether Pacific and Caribbean populations represent the same species. Like its familial relatives it may be carried from place to place by transport of its possible host, a tunicate (or ?sponge), on ships, but in Hawaii, Micronesia, and the Caribbean Sea it is found in the open sea and only its congener L. paciftca has been found in unpolluted Californian harbors.

Elasmopus e. hawaiensis is a subspecies of the Galapagan E. ecuadorensis, but I have a few observations that suggest this epigenotype is widely scattered throughout the Pacific Ocean.

The other two species are of very dubious relationships to Caribbean taxa, but some of the cryptic species in Table 4, like Hyale waimea, may eventually be added to the list of Hawaiian amphipods with tropical American affinities.

Introduced, Minor, and Cryptic Elements

More than 20 species of Hawaiian Gammaridea do not fit into classifications mentioned in previous pages (various parts of Table 4). Undoubtedly, many mistakes have been made in establishing the affinities of the species heretofore mentioned, but I estimate that, as various species are shifted in classification, the end result, numerically, will be very similar to that now propounded. Ten species of unknown affinity appear to be composed of taxa of the same geographic diversity as computed elsewhere in this paper. For example, one of the species of Eriopisa may come from cool water and the other from the tropics, and while the stenothoids are from cool water, the Paraphoxus may come from tropical America.

The so-called introduced species are very difficult to evaluate. Doty (1961) has discovered an alga, Acanthophora species, probably introduced by shipping and already dispersed from its probable port of entry, Pearl Harbor, to the islands of Kauai and Lanai. Doty also gives references to earlier remarks on other marine organisms known to be introduced and established in Hawaii by shipping and to species known to be introduced but not established.

Numerous amphipods could qualify as candidates for introduction by means of shipping, as many of them form tubes easily attached to hard surfaces, and many others could nestle among projections or within cavities of thick fouling masses. Some of the tubicolous imports have probably arrived in Hawaii on logs floating naturally from North America as well as logs towed slowly by boats. But little is known about the ability of amphipods to remain with ships moving at speeds creating great water turbulence. I have recovered specimens of Corophium acherusicum from fouling matter on the side of the R/V Velero IV after it had steamed at a speed of 9.5 knots for several days.

The Amphipoda immediately qualifying as those subject to artificial importation occur commonly in harbors throughout the world or are various congeners of those harbor taxa. Members of Corophium, Ericthonius, Podocerus, Jassa, and Stenothoe are the strongest candidates (Table 4, various parts). There is little doubt that Corophium acherusicum and C. insidiosum have been artificially imported to Hawaii as they maintain fairly strong harbor restriction, but the presence of C. baconi (if indeed it is correctly identified) may be a natural import on logs. The highly atypical sexual morphology of C. baconi in Hilo Harbor suggests that the population may represent a very narrow segment of the total gonosome (the “founder effect”). On American shores, C. baconi is a sparse inhabitant of harbors for it apparently cannot tolerate the same degree of pollution as its congeners, but it also is more frequent in the open sea than the other species of Corophium.

Ericthonius brasiliensis and Podocerus “brasiliensis”⁷ are strong fouling organisms in harbors, but the former is also extremely abundant in many open-sea localities. One may thus debate its mode of dispersal with equal conviction on either extreme. Both species have, so far, been found in Hawaii mostly in artificial situations such as harbors or on suspended floats and boards.

Stenothoe gallensis is a common tropical fouler and S. valida is a common subtropical fouler, but neither builds tubes as do the other species mentioned above. They are commonly associated with masses of hydroids. I am unsatisfied with my taxonomic appraisal of these species in Hawaii, but if they are found to be highly variable species with conspicuous shifts in morphology from one region to another, then I may have identified them correctly. So-called S. valida has been found in Hawaii only in association with the black-coral Antipathes irregularis off the east coast of Oahu in 33 m of water deptii. Under normal circumstances mat unusual habitat would suggest a misidentification of S. valida, for the species normally inhabits harbors. The associates of Antipathes should presumably have been sorted out as highly characteristic species long ago, but the Oahuan population of Antipathes is composed of colonies moved by biologists to that locale from other parts of Hawaii. One might thus expect that a eurytopic harbor fouling organism could find an open niche in such an artificial situation. But S. valida has not as yet been collected in Hawaiian harbors.

Species of Elasmopus may also be carried by shipping even though they do not make tubes on hard substrates. Elasmopus rapax is a common inhabitant of unpolluted harbors, and it does show a strong orientation to hard, floating substrates. I have collected it in Newport Harbor, California, as one of the first settlers on bare, anchored, floating wooden blocks. Specimens were collected occasionally even on blocks without other macroscopic foulers; perhaps they graze on microscopic fouling organisms. The Hawaiian population of E. rapax may be confined entirely to Pearl Harbor; I found it nowhere in the open sea in my 1967 explorations; my 1955a identification of it in Honolulu Aquarium was erroneous, and I have not been able to locate materials of it identified by me in the open sea in my report of 1955. I probably confused it with one of the other nine species now shown to be present on Hawaiian shores. Thus, E. rapax is undoubtedly a strong candidate for reconsideration as an import by artificial means.

The final case to be considered is diat of Tropichelura insulae, the wood-grazer. This “wood-borer” is circumtropical in distribution and probably, like the well-known Chelura terebrans of cool waters, simply enlarges the tunnels of its obligatory associates, Limnoria species, by grazing. The question as to whether this species has been distributed around the world by modern shipping is entirely open to question. Chelura terebrans is also almost completely circumboreal, but the Japanese species, Nippochelura brevicauda, has a highly restricted distribution.

Dispersal by Rafting

Amphipoda reproduce without larval stages. Their dispersal might therefore seem to be impaired and one might expect an extraordinary degree of endemicity and impoverishment of Amphipoda in highly isolated places. On the contrary, we have adequate samples of their distribution patterns and a sketchy knowledge of their shallow-water dispersal so as to suggest that even the isolated Hawaiian chain, though it might be impoverished, could have a very low endemicity of species and virtually no endemic genera. If Amphipoda reach the Hawaiian Islands at all, we might expect a recurrence of the same founders, and gene flow might be relatively continuous. As a broad generality that thesis is found to be false, though being a complex of ideas, part of the statement remains true. A duplicate recruitment of the same founders that produce cognate species appears to have some basis (see following chapter), but that mechanism requires long periods of interrupted gene flow. Isolation but not impoverishment are apparent in the Hawaiian fauna. Dispersal frequency of amphipods into the region has been high but often interrupted so as to play a role in the development of many endemic species and several novel morphotypes necessarily described in generic terms.

Rafting by means of detached marine plants, debris, and logs is the assumed primary dispersal mechanism of shallow water tropical Amphipoda. Islands within a few hundred kilometers of continents (Azores, Canaries) have few endemic species reported in their shallow waters, thus suggesting that they have been populated continuously by rafted organisms. Even the Galapagos Islands appear to demonstrate this situation by incongruous fashion (report in preparation by J. L. Barnard). For example, those equatorial islands 600 km west of Ecuador have a primarily tropical fauna of Brachyura (reproduction mainly by larvae), whereas their amphipods have a strong warm-temperate affinity (see Garth (1946) for brachyuran summary). Importation of tropical crab larvae must come during the favorable but infrequent El Niño years when warm currents reach the Galapagos from the Bay of Panama. A few crabs have arrived via the relatively constant and swift Humboldt-Peruvian current system and fewer still have come from the north and west through the meandering complex of the California current that becomes mixed with the most anti-Galapagan tropical counter-current.

Since amphipods do not disperse by larval means and presumably are carried over long distances by rafting of adults, it appears incongruous that so many warm-temperate amphipods occur in the Galapagos Islands, whereas many species from nearby Panama have not arrived there. Because few warm-temperate crabs occur in the Galapagos, one might suggest that differences in crab and amphipod reproduction play a role in faunal incongruities. Because the majority of crabs has arrived in the Galapagos as short-lived larvae, they have to come from shores nearly adjacent to the Galapagos during El Niño years. Currents during those years must also bring amphipods aboard flotsam, but the infrequency of storms in the Panamic doldrums may constrict the quantity of rafted material available, whereas storms in warm-temperate latitudes may cast much larger quantities of shallow-water debris into flotation. Although the journeys of rafts from higher latitudes may be extremely tortuous and indeed appear almost impossible from sketchy charts of currents now known, these journeys must be of higher significance to the Galapagan amphipod fauna than journeys during years of El Niño. The implication is also made that the amphipods reproduce during their journeys. But one should not dismiss the indications that the Galapagos have several characteristics of warm-temperate environments and thus are favorably situated for successful immigration of various warm-temperate taxa.

Waters of the Galapagos are only sufficiently tropical to support some impoverished patches of hermatypic corals on particular islands and Sargassum, a good tropical indicator in the eastern Pacific Ocean, does occur in isolated patches and might flourish more were it not for the intensive browsing of marine iguanas. Whereas many of the tropical crabs that have arrived from the continent may have been able to survive despite thermal minima below tropical limits (20°C), one may speculate whether a stronger immigration of subtropical or warm-temperate crabs might not alter that balance if it were possible for more of those species to reach the islands. If the thesis about El Niño currents and lack of storms in the Gulf of Panama were incorrect then perhaps those tropical amphipods arriving in the Galapagos have failed in many cases to meet the competition from warm-temperate amphipods arriving earlier or later.

Crabs of continental west America, except in areas of the Las Perlas Islands and near Punta Malo on the northwest Panamic shore, must be primarily eurytopic organisms able to withstand highly turbid conditions of the Central American inshore waters. Those turbid conditions seem to work against the algal flora and thus reduce the supply of materials for rafting tropical amphipods. Unless continental runoff decreases during El Niño years, large rafts of terrestrial debris brought into the sea by rivers may become infested with amphipods once the rafts reach salt water.

Despite these numerous suppositions, the fact remains that many Galapagan amphipods are very closely related, if not identical, to species occurring in the warm-temperate zone of the Californias and there must be, or have been in fairly recent times, a ready pathway for their transmissal. The area of upwelling near Punta Malo possibly reflects a Panamanian warm-temperate outpost that supports northern amphipods. It is only academic to question the particular route of migration by calling attention to the complete absence of knowledge about antiwarm-temperate amphipods of the Peruvian-Chilean shores. If the supposed Californian-Galapagan cognates arrived from Chilean shores via the Humboldt current then mat warm-temperate fauna must have Californian species established within it. Such knowledge would be strong support of a drifting hypothesis with a major connection in the upwelling area of Panama or in the Galapagos themselves.

Whereas a journey by currents from warm-temperate North America to the Galapagos is tenuous and difficult by appreciation of present-day current charts, a journey from warm-temperate North America to the Hawaiian Islands appears as a direct and almost continuous possibility. Waters entrained from the California current could pass through the Hawaiian chain as northern outliers of the North Equatorial Current. That this direction of surface sea flow dominating the oceanographic picture has had so little influence on the Hawaiian chain except in the amphipodan fauna is difficult to explain in gross terms. Most Hawaiian marine organisms have affinities with the main Indo-Pacific or with Polynesia⁸ and Micronesia, but dominant surface currents coming to Hawaii from those directions do not exist although the North Pacific Current could bring immigrants over a long northern route from the China Sea region. The major share of the marine Hawaiian fauna must be a product of survival of immigrants coming from the southwest or west during occasional reverses in the gross current system, or by minor and subsurface currents as yet undiscovered. The weakly tropical Hawaiian thermal regime thus favors those occasional immigrants traveling within warm tropical waters rather than the potential warm-temperate immigrants aimed at Hawaii via the California-North Equatorial Current system. Those taxa originating in warm-temperate North American waters and directed toward Hawaii must encounter primarily lethal conditions as the cool waters become warm; few survive the journey and fewer survive the Hawaiian environment. But the Hawaiian amphipods do reflect in a small way the influence on Hawaii by the west and southward flowing waters from western North America.

The Sweepstakes Phenomenon

The theory of sweepstakes dispersal implies that the biota of an isolated place is a result of the vagaries of transporting mechanisms and the timing of events. On isolated islands this applies most harshly to those terrestrial regimes having contraction of niches and habitat space, but the biota established on islands is also controlled through biotopical preadaptations. Mere examination of a checklist of species from a biota cannot support a statement about the absolute failure of dispersal mechanisms to import various taxa into an extrinsic locality. The paucity of acroporan corals in the Hawaiian Archipelago suggests an unfavorable biotope and not necessarily the failure of the transporting mechanism. The failure may occur in the timing or extent of the scleractinian dispersal in the sense that by chance alone the pocilloporans reached the islands first and the normal dominating mechanisms of an initial immigrant prevent a foothold of later immigrants. But there is also the strong possibility that if the vagaries of sweepstakes dispersal had brought acroporans first, their dominating mechanisms would have failed to prevent establishment of pocilloporans because acroporans are outside of their optimal environment in Hawaii. Sweepstakes dispersal is furthermore a tenuous term disguising various absurdities. It has to be applied only to those species with any chance of reaching the locality under question. Its topical applicability is as variable as the number of places under question. In effect it is best applied to groups of species with generally equivalent preadaptation to the environment under question but with a relatively low, albeit positive chance of reaching that environment. Many of the major incongruities of terrestrial faunistics and floristics on islands seem to have been the result of highly improbable migrations. The dominant avian faunas of the Hawaiian Islands and the Galapagos Islands thus represent immigrations of high improbability as to length of journey, predictable direction, and frequency of occurrence. These improbabilities may, however, be amplified by our ignorance of the frequency of events, the lack of ecological preadaptations in various other candidates that might have populated those archipelagos, and the extent to which founder species prevent subsequent establishment of competitive taxa.

An evaluation of absurdities suggests the need to restrict the broadest implications of sweepstakes dispersal to a pool of species with definite chances of reaching a locality under question, no matter how slim. Certainly some very large African land mammals could be eliminated from a pool of potential natural immigrants to Hawaii, but a broad spectrum of groups not so obviously unqualified for the journey makes the concept almost incomprehensible. The shore fishes of America probably also should be included in the list of unqualified candidates. Despite their obvious dispersal mechanisms, the single journey to Hawaii has not occurred or the preadaptation to survival in Hawaii does not exist in American shore fishes.

TABLE 5.—Mega-niche classification of Hawaiian and Californian epifaunal amphipods, noting strongest affinities of Hawaiian species in domicolous taxa

Amphipods represent a case toward the opposite extreme to fishes, in that many of their species have a distinctly positive chance of reaching the Hawaiian Islands from long distances and from localities outside the local thermal regime. To what extent the vagaries of transportation have affected the composition of Hawaiian immigrants from America cannot be estimated simply by examining the pool of American and Hawaiian species. The general absence of information on the competitive positions of American species against Micronesian species is just one of many defects in a possible analysis. There is a strong indication that nestling species are not as well adapted to making the journey across a thermal boundary as are tubicolous species, and this might account for the disproportionate number of American tubicolous species occurring in the Hawaiian fauna. That nestling species also encounter difficulties in completing the journey to isolated places within their normal thermal regime is also apparent in the following analysis of some statistics that are admittedly inadequate. The epifaunas of the Indo-Pacific have a higher number of nestling (115) than tubicolous (71) species, whereas Hawaii has the numbers in approximately a 1 to 1 ratio. This suggests a possibility that numerous nestling niches remain open or do not exist in Hawaii, whereas those tubicolous niches that remained open because of failures of importation from the southwest direction have been filled with immigrants from America. It is possible, therefore, that vagarious transporting mechanisms operating over a relatively short period of time have failed to supply Hawaii with a full complement of nestling amphipods from a thermally similar area, but have supplemented the deficiency of tubicolous immigrants from that same direction with members from the American pool. The deficiency of nestlers in Hawaii is marked most conspicuously by the presence of only one lysianassid in comparison to the normal complement of five or six species in localities of India. The contradiction that Hawaii has a greater diversity of nestlers in its common genera than do other Indo-Pacific localities may be explained momentarily by the differing taxonomic emphasis that has occurred in tropical studies.

If American nestling amphipods have failed to reach Hawaii, there remains a strange coincidence that warm-temperate America has a pool of nestlers with similar generic and familial composition to that of Hawaii (Table 6). The only conspicuous warm-temperate group not represented either by a congener or a confamilial substitute is the family Bateidae. One could partially reverse the previous supposition so as to suggest that a full measure of nestling amphipods immigrated to Hawaii from the southwest, whereas a deficiency of tubicolous imports was complemented by immigrants from America. American tubicolous imports therefore succeeded in open niches, whereas American nestlers, if imported in equal frequency as tubicolous species, were unable to compete with normally occurring tropical nestlers.

TABLE 6.—Pool of Californian warm-temperate epifaunal amphipods Epifaunal amphipods—Continued

The affinities of Hawaiian Amphipoda demonstrate a strong preadaptation of Amphipoda from similar thermal regimes to migrate long distances. The problem of sweepstakes dispersal is not so much as to identify missing phyletic units or species (see “Pantropical and Indo-Pacific Elements”) but to study the niches and transportational ecology of amphipods so as to determine the biological stresses influencing the present composition of the Hawaiian fauna.

Lack of Adaptive Radiation in Hawaiian Amphipoda

Approximately 20 genera of Hawaiian Amphipoda are represented by two or more species, but there is little evidence of local adaptive radiation in these various species flocks. This situation is a strong contrast to the terrestrial Hawaiian biota in which numerous cases of adapative radiation occur among honey creepers, snails, and fruit flies. Most of the present study of amphipods has occurred on only one of the Hawaiian Islands, but this does not seriously weaken the conclusion that little adaptive radiation occurs in the Amphipoda. The conclusion is supported by results in other marine groups.

Evolution of endemic Hawaiian Amphipoda has undoubtedly occurred, but the lists of affinities in Table 3 demonstrate that cognates of the several species in each genus are located in extrinsic regions. Those few cases of strong interrelationships between a pair or a triad of Hawaiian endemic species can usually be explained by assuming the successive immigration of a parent species.

Discussions of adaptive radiation in marine Gammaridea have not yet entered the literature, but a few potential examples may be cited in the flock of genera and species of haustoriids in the northwest Atlantic, the genus Harpinia in the northeast Atlantic, a section of the genus Ampelisca in southeast Asia, and especially the flocks of closely related species of Anonyx, Hippomedon, and Orchomene in the Okhotsk Sea and the genus Parawaldeckia in New Zealand. Each of these sympatric flocks must signal the former occurrence of barriers mat isolated various populations from one another. Subsequently, the barriers must have retracted and those various isolates again became sympatric. Visualization of the mechanics of this process in marine organisms remains highly rudimentary.

The Hawaiian fauna of Amphipoda is still relatively youthful, but nearly half of the species is now divergent, morphologically, from their presumed ancestors in Micronesia-Polynesia and adjacent continents. No endemic genus with more than one species occurs in Hawaii, but several multispecific genera have pairs of species in Hawaii with close interrelationships. These pairs can be identified with an extrinsic cognate, but that fact does not necessarily obviate the possibility that one member of the Hawaiian pair did not evolve from its sympatriot. The conclusion that these Hawaiian pairs are the result of successive immigrations of a single parent species and do not represent topical radiation is supported by our knowledge of the high success of amphipods in completing journeys from unexpected sources. If they can both come long distances as well as overcome thermal barriers, then there might occur successive waves of a species from a nearby area of thermal characteristics similar to those of Hawaiian waters.

Among the following multispecific Hawaiian genera there is little question that their various species have diverse affinities (Table 3): Colomastix, Corophium, Eriopisa, Ischyrocerus-Jassa, Leucothoe, Melita, Photis, and Podocerus. Some of the species of Corophium have probably been brought into the islands by ships, but the various species of Ischyrocerus and Jassa are sufficiently divergent from each other as to suggest the development of incipient subgenera.

Pairs of Hawaiian species among genera with cold-water affinities occur in Amphilochus, Aoroides, Parapleustes, and possibly Gammaropsis, Lembos, and Stenothoe. Heretofore Aoroides has been composed of only two continental species, one in America and one in northern Asia. Hawaii has two species—one is possibly synonymous with the American species, and the other is apparently a Hawaiian evolute. Both species are perhaps endemic to Hawaii, but the wide American distribution of A. columbine plus the tubicolous adaptations of the genus suggest a succession of dispersals to Hawaii of the American species rather than a Hawaiian radiation of the genus. If the two Hawaiian members of Parapleustes evolved from a single boreal immigrant, there is little morphological evidence to suggest that course. One of the species is an incipient genus in its loss of a part of the maxillipedal palp, and its true affinities are obscured by the change because of the vagaries of classification within the complex of boreal pleustid genera. Three species of Amphilochus form a tetrad with an American species. They would probably represent the best potential case of Hawaiian adaptive radiation were it not for inadequate studies of the genus in America elsewhere than the Californias. They may be figmentary siblings in Hawaii because we have yet not found their cognates in America. But the other side of the question can be supported through the ecological evidence that Hawaii is better supplied with their scleractinian hosts man is America.

The pertinent affinities of several members of Gammaropsis, Lembos, and Stenothoe are very sketchy; this ignorance may conceal the presence of three more pairs of Hawaiian siblings with cool-water affinities.

Most of the remaining Hawaiian multispecific genera have their strongest affinities with tropical regions. They are Ampithoe with (5) species, Cymadusa (3), Elasmopus (9), the complex of Eriopisa-Eriopsiella-Nuuanu (4), Gammaropsis (7), Hyale (8), Lembos (8), Liljeborgia (2), Maera (7), and Photis (3).

Ampithoe kaneohe and A. poipu form a pair of Hawaiian species with their closest affinities to each other despite the presence of certain morphological characters in one species that heretofore had generic value. Ampithoe poipu is assignable to the genus Pleonexes, but that genus simply categorizes a grade of evolution. There is little evidence that the Micronesian allopatriot was a precursor to either of the Hawaiian species.

Hawaii is the center of a complex of species represented by the tropicopolitan A. ramondi, the Californian A. simulans, the Pan-American A. pollex, and the Hawaiian A. akuolaka and A. waialua. A sixth member from the Gulf of California is also apparent in other material. Hawaiian Ampithoe waialua has especially close affinities with tropicopolitan A. ramondi and may be the result of Hawaiian evolution of an early wave of members of A. ramondi before the latter became well established by frequent immigration. Hawaiian A. akuolaka may have affinities with A. simulans and A. pollex that are stronger than its affinities with A. ramondi, but all of these species form a complex that requires detailed study. All of them could have been products of former isolation in populations of A. ramondi.

Cymadusa has ten species in the world fauna, three of which occur in Hawaii. One of its members, C. filosa, is tropicopolitan, like Ampithoe ramondi. Owing to the variability of C. filosa in its scattered populations, plus the weak divergence of the other nine species, the question arises as to whether the other species were the products of former isolation of C. filosa in places like Hawaii, California or the Gulf of California, the Gulf of Mexico (or farther north), Bermuda, Brazil, South Africa, and Micronesia-Polynesia. If so, C. filosa has since become sympatric with most of its congeners. Again, the Hawaiian pair of endemic Cymadusa is in the midst of a genus with a tropicopolitan member that could have arrived in Hawaii in successive waves and finally, without diverging, itself become established through frequent immigration. Both Ampithoe ramondi and Cymadusa filosa have been collected on flotsam far at sea and thus are known to be viable migrants.

Two or more combinations of pairs of endemic Elasmopus occur in Hawaii. The clearest case is that pair of E. piikoi and E. molokai, the latter possibly either synonymous with or forming a cognate pair with Polynesian E. minimus. Hawaiian Elasmopus hooheno may be added to the pair to form a triad; in all but one character there appears to be morphological convergence between E. hooheno and E. piikoi, but that character, a spine on pereopods 1–2, may have special significance that will denote a different affinity of E. hooheno when the taxonomy of the genus has been properly evaluated. Meanwhile, E. hooheno also forms a weak pair with E. ecuadorensis hawaiensis, but the latter species (sensu lato) has its strongest affinities with tropicopolitan E. pectenicrus. Indeed there is some merit in suggesting that an early wave of E. pectenicrus became isolated for a long period of time in an archipelago like Hawaii or the Galapagos and later became codistributed between the two archipelagos. But the stem of E. ecuadorensis may have an even broader distribution as I have examined a population resembling E. ecuadorensis in flotsam collected by the R/V Galathea. The strongest case of possible Hawaiian radiation in Elasmopus remains the pair of species E. molokai-E. piikoi but again a definite extrinsic geminate is known.

Gammaropsis pokipoki, an endemic Hawaiian species, may form another evolute of an early wave of a tropicopolitan. species, G. afra (or G. atlantica). Two other Hawaiian species of the genus, G. haleiwa and G. kaumaka, may prove to be members of a system of this sort when their adult morphology has been clarified.

The eight or more species of Hyale in Hawaii have mostly diverse affinities. An interrelated pair of species occurs in H. affinis-H. honoluluensis but they are also distributed outside of Hawaii. Hyale ayeli and H. g. bishopae represent Hawaiian endemic species probably derived from widespread parent populations, but the parent species have not immigrated frequently enough to Hawaii either to form a continuous genetic connection with extrinsic regions or to have formed more than one descendent genotype. Both of the parent epigenotypes are confined to nontropical waters.

The situation in Lembos is obscured by taxonomic ignorance, but again a potentially widespread L. macromanus may have established a pair of descendents in Hawaii; repeated immigration is attested to by the presence of American-Oriental L. macromanus in Hawaii.

Both species of Hawaiian Liljeborgia are closely related to each other and form a triad with Polynesian L. proximo.

Only one pair of related species occurs in Hawaiian Maera. A very strong relationship, perhaps the strongest example yet known in Hawaii, occurs between M. pacifica and M. kaiulani. Maera pacifica occurs both in Polynesia and in Hawaii, whereas M. kaiulani is presumably endemic to Hawaii.

Relationships among Hawaiian members of Stenothoe are clouded by weak taxonomy; until adults of two species are obtained and the life history of two others worked out, there will only remain a potential case of a pair or triads of species for inclusion in this discussion. That Stenothoe is dominantly a cool-water genus does amplify this possibility of a single immigrant having completed the long journey from America (or cool-water Asia) and radiating solely within the Hawaiian Islands.

The numerous cited examples of strong relationships between various Hawaiian species and widespread tropical species that also occur in Hawaii suggest that the Hawaiian endemic evolved from the cosmopolitan member at a time in the history of tile archipelago when the environment differed from that of present-day conditions. This may have occurred in the early history of the archipelago when a single small western⁹ island or bank had been developed and may have been concomitant with small differences in ocean current systems. A species like Cymadusa filosa, possibly in continuous migration aboard flotsam, may have arrived as a small population in a very constricted early Hawaiian environment and have undergone fairly rapid selection to form a species like C. oceanica. As more space and niches became available through formation of additional islands, a second wave may have been established that diverged into C. hawaiensis. Finally, as the Hawaiian Archipelago assumed its present dimensions or if an increased frequency of immigration occurred in relationship to favorable changes in current patterns, the parent species C. filosa may have become established a third time but retained frequent genetic exchange with its extrinsic populations or underwent little morphological change because its optimal niche, in terms of space or food source, had finally appeared in an evolving archipelago.

Results of the One-Step, Long-Distance Isolation of Cool-Water Immigrants to Hawaii

The classic pattern of terrestrial evolution in Hawaii contains the element of saltatory (or incremental) isolation, from which extremely divergent suprageneric taxa evolve fairly rapidly by a series of steps from one isolated biotope to the next, through island hopping, valley hopping, and by other small-scale increments. The genotypical end products of this incremental isolation often are so divergent as to defy any tracing of the steps (Zimmerman, 1948). The primordial end of the process is the recognition of the first step in the isolation of populations; perhaps a few examples occur in Hawaiian amphipods.

Unlike members of the recent terrestrial fauna and flora of the main high islands of the Hawaiian chain, no amphipod of direct cool-water affinity (origin) would have arrived in the Hawaiian chain by incremental isolation, for not since the origin of the chain have there been any intermediate land masses or islands along the cool-water pathway from America or Asia. Zimmerman presumes that part of the terrestrial Hawaiian fauna passed along the now environmentally extinct western islands and diverged with each step. With minor exceptions, this could not have happened in the cool-water amphipod fauna so that many of those species now in Hawaii that have diverged have undergone only one increment in isolation. Some of those species may have, of course, passed to and fro from Hawaii to cold-water continents several times, but this occurrence is entirely hypothetical and supported only vaguely by the triangular occurrence of Amphideutopus - Konatopus - Neomegampropus and possibly by Japanese Atylus: Hawaiian Kamehatylus:American Atylus. The hypothesis cannot be entirely dismissed without damaging the concept that certain gammarideans are highly preadapted to making long oceanic journeys; if they could reach Hawaii, perhaps in other times when currents were suitable they would arrive again on the continents after a period of isolation and natural selection in Hawaii. If so, there may be continental evidence of this interchange, but detailed studies have not yet been made on the problem.

A more logical supposition is mat a successful reverse journey would be more difficult than the initial trip from cool continent to island, for the amphipod that has undergone genetic change in an island would seem less likely to be a successful reimmigrant to a continent where specific diversity is high and where few niches might be open to an organism that has changed only slightly from its continental ancestors. On the other hand, the establishment on islands should be easier, as niches may be open even though there are fewer in existence. Evidence that journeys to and from the continent to Hawaii have rarely occurred is found in the low incidence of species flocks in amphipods of cool-water affinity. One would expect to see many groups of closely related species that have diverged by a few morphological changes, but the cool-water Hawaiian amphipods are primarily of the one species per genus category, thus indicating a single period of importation for that species, or else the occurrence of only one available broad-scale niche for each morphotype. Three exceptions to this situation seem to occur: (1) in the Amphilochus complex, with three closely related species; (2) in the ischyrocerid complex with possibly three related species; and (3) the pair of Aoroides. The ischyrocerids, by taxonomic concepts developed from continental studies, would fall into three different genera, but as will be seen from following paragraphs, the changes that have occurred in other taxa suggest that one incremental isolation occasionally results in fairly radical morphological changes. These changes, of course, are only radical in terms of gammaridean morphometries. We lack any rudiment of understanding of events in gammaridean genetics or whether gammaridean taxonomists oversplit the morphotypes.

The impact on the rich North American fauna by Hawaiian amphipods of these few species is almost nil. Probably, the warm-temperate isolation that has occurred in the northern Gulf of California is of greater importance to the development of endemic species in the Pacific North American warm-temperate region than any developments in Hawaii, and even there in the Gulf the total impact in a one-step isolation prob ably is very low (J. L. Barnard, 1969b).

The importance of these divergent Hawaiian cool-water imports is thus not as evidence of a major staging ground for evolution but simply an opportunity to observe changes that have occurred after one increment of isolation. Most of those changes are of no greater degree than seen between sibling sympatriots but, in a few cases, the changes assume the degree of generic differences heretofore considered highly qualitative.

One cannot estimate the morphological changes that may have occurred in these species after the initial impact of isolation on a small population, for there may have been progressive changes associated with genetic drift, mutative accidents, or selective factors associated with slow changes in environment after immigration.

The most striking case of radical change occurs in Atylus (Kamehatylus) nani. By narrow definition, this species, with affinities either to a Japanese or to an American cool-water species of Atylus, has changed its familial membership from the Atylidae to the Dexaminidae. Such a change might be dismissed as evidence that the two familial concepts are worthless, but the Gammaridea have several families and genera characterized by a loss of parts. For instance, Beaudettia palmeri from Micronesia (J. L. Barnard, 1965a) and a new species of Maera like M. subcarinata from Australia (in preparation) have strongly reduced or missing mandibular palps, yet they have very close affinities to other living species. The viability of these losses is a function of natural selection and may be conserved more readily in highly isolated environments where competition from immediate phyletic relatives is reduced or absent. The Australian Maera, however, is sympatric and cohabitational with its sibling partner.

The simple act of synonymizing two families that have been considered distinct for so long, on the basis of one exception, is poor practice if one considers more than the morphology of the groups. G. O. Sars (1895) may have been prescient in considering the two families as one (they were distinguished in 1906 by Stebbing). The Hawaiian case suggests indeed that the one family came from the other, perhaps by repeated isolation of various atylids that commenced their dexaminid status by loss of a palp. The Dexaminidae are multigeneric, whereas the Atylidae are now monogeneric (recently they were digeneric). The small morphological distance between the only genus of Atylidae and the many genera of the Dexaminidae is not necessarily matched by a functional similarity, for many dexaminids are believed to be associated in various degrees of inquilinous obligation with ascidians, whereas atylids and a few dexaminids are algal nestlers. There is no evidence that Atylus nani of Hawaii has become ascidiophilous. Thus, it may be the founder of an entirely new phyletic line and that potential is reinforced by one additional morphological change, the incremental coalescence of urosomite 1 with 2. In dexaminids and atylids only urosomites 2 and 3 are coalesced but A. nani has increased that consolidation by one segment. It therefore approximates the conditions found in the Prophliantidae, a family with one species in Polynesia and one in Australia.¹⁰

Another radical change that has occurred in a cool-water Hawaiian immigrant is the loss of maxillipedal palp article 4 in Parapleustes (?) honomu. Morphology of maxillipedal palps is often highly stable in various families of Amphipoda and the only morphological variation of generic value in Pleustidae has been the presence or absence of a protrusion on article 3 of the maxillipedal palp. The unique loss of article 4 in P.(?) honomu obscures its generic relationships because the point of attachment of article 4 has heretofore marked the presence or absence of the process on article 3. Parapleustes(?) honomu is thus an incipient genus by morphological standards.

Ischyrocerus(?) kapu represents a third case of radical change in morphology in a cool-water immigrant grant to Hawaii. Article 4 of male gnathopod 2 bears a large spike that by analogy seems to replicate the commonly occurring palmar tooth on article 6. This unique occurrence in the diverse family Ischyroceridae also marks the development of an incipient genus.

The case of Neomicrodeutopus (?) makena is clouded by the absence of certain information about the genus in African waters, but there is a strong possibility that the Hawaiian species has its closest relationship directly with boreal members of Microdeutopus and not through the genus Neomicrodeutopus. If so, the Hawaiian species is marked by the loss of an inner ramus on uropod 3 that may have been a direct coincidence with its importation to Hawaii. There is no evidence of incremental relationship to Acuminodeutopus on continental America. The latter genus has the inner ramus of uropod 3 present but partially reduced in size.

A less easily documented case of radical change occurs in the endemic Hawaiian genus, Aloiloi. This situation has consequences on familial classification in the Aoridae and Isaeidae ( = Photidae). From time to time doubts have been expressed as to the phyletic validity of the two families and Aloiloi further destroys the concept of the Aoridae except as a taxonomic category of convenience in identification. Isaeidae have gnadiopod 2 normally larger than gnadiopod 1, whereas Aoridae have the dominance reversed, with secondary sexual modifications also removed to gnathopod 1 in favor of gnadiopod 2. But the Aoridae no longer appear to have been tunneled through a single line of descent from the Isaeidae, and Aloiloi appears to form the strongest example yet known. The closest affinities of Aloiloi seem to lie with the isaeid genus Gammaropsis rather than with any other known genus of Aoridae. Aorids probably consist of various kinds of isaeids in which a radical reorganization of axial dominance in gnathopods has occurred. In Aloiloi this may have occurred within the confines of a single step of isolation.

Another aorid, the Hawaiian endemic Konatopus, stands morphologically between two continental American genera, Amphideutopus and Neomegamphopus. The character of Konatopus minimizes the strong differences between the two continental genera and may represent one of two alternatives: (1) the convergence of either continental genus toward the other by the immigration and further evolution of one or the other in Hawaii; (2) the concept that Hawaii forms the evolutionary apex of a triangle; that one of the continental genera diverged in Hawaii, then returned to the continent, and evolved into the second continental genus.

The pair of Hawaiian species of Aoroides represents the only case known so far of a presumed double wave of immigration of a single cool-water species to Hawaii. Only two species of the genus have heretofore been known to occur in the northern hemisphere, one in Pacific America and the other in northern Asia. The American Aoroides columbiae presumably underwent two waves of immigration to Hawaii to result in one species that is very distinct qualitatively although the differences are small and in a second species that, if not identical to the mainland population, may be found to represent a neotenic dwarf.

The remaining cases of cool-water importation of amphipods to Hawaii represent what might be called normal speciation. For example, Gammaropsis alamoana is simply an incremental cognate of American G. thompsoni without any radical morphological changes.

If any cases of radical morphological change occur in endemic Hawaiian amphipods with tropical or antiboreal affinities, they are presently obscure. They would occur in the endemic Hawaiian genera, Mokuoloe, Kanaloa, and Nuuanu. The first genus has obscure affinities, but its generic characters are simply predictable recombinations of characters known for other members of Cyproideinae. Kanaloa has affinities with antiboreal genera and though very distinct is not unusual in the presently known framework. Nuuanu is apparently a member of the Eriopisa-Eriopisella complex diat probably includes many species living in interstitial niches. Its deep body and head and deep pereopodal serrations are unusual, but it belongs with an ecological group of organisms yet poorly studied, and it may not prove to be as unusual as it now appears.

Enrichment of Diversity in Gammaridean Genera

The diversity of the Hawaiian genera Elasmopus, Gammaropsis, Hyale, Lembos, and Maera exceeds diat found heretofore in any other tropical locality. Hawaii may represent a fairly unique situation in which niches have been compressed by the establishment of so manyexotic species from so many directions. For example, this may be reflected in the impoverished numbers of individuals of Hyale in the Sargassum zone despite the occurrence of a high diversity of species in the region. The unusual latitudinal and thermal position of a group of highly isolated islands like Hawaii may contribute to the possibility of enrichment in taxal diversity, but this circumstance could only occur in a group of organisms like Amphipoda with extraordinarily successful means of dispersal. The possibility that various species of diverse genera have their immediate origins from highly distinct regions suggests the possibility that those allopatric species had already undergone slight shifts in their niches or habitats and thus on their meeting in Hawaii they were already preadapted to occupying very narrow niches. More and more species of certain genera with high dispersive means were thus able to become assorted without an extinctive degree of competition. Because one may presume that isolated and environmentally impoverished Hawaii has fewer niches than a continent in a similar thermal regime, one must look to factors other than compression of niches for an explanation of a high diversity of a genus in Hawaii by continental standards. The total number of epifaunal species is comparable between the warm-temperate of California and Hawaii but one may presume that the Hawaiian fauna, with fewer genera, has several taxa in other genera that serve as ecological substitutes for those missing genera.

But if the Hawaiian fauna is relatively young (assumed average age of 3 million years), one might presume that we are witnessing a late stage of faunal evolution that includes several species in each diverse genus now on the verge of extinction as niche adjustments become perfected by the various immigrants. For instance, the marginally tropical thermal regime of Hawaii may also be able to support an abnormally high number of species in certain genera because the sympatric taxa have different seasons of maximal competitive activity that reflect the slight thermal differences of the warm-temperate and metatropical seas from which they came. Hawaiian thermal extremes may interfere with optimal year round activity of the several species but are of insufficient degree to cause extinction. These species thus occupy, by definition, different niches, but given the same time they have had on continents, some of these species now surviving in Hawaii because of thermal niche separation, may become extinct if their ecological analogues undergo drifting genetic changes that shift their thermal optima to the existing Hawaiian condition. One may imagine a large number of other components of the niche that may also be involved in the selective adjustments of Hawaiian immigrants. These thoughts are antithetical to the concept that species may become more numerous with increasing age of an ecosystem.

The Hawaiian Islands should form an ideal environment for the study of interactions between amphipodan species imported from warm-temperate and metatropical regions, but one must hope that great care is taken not to release such imports into Hawaiian waters before extensive studies have been made on those species already present.

Summary and Conclusions

1.   The Hawaiian Gammaridea now comprise 120 species in 52 genera, of which 59 species and 9 genera are newly described and 21 other species are reported for the first time from Hawaii.

2.   Nearly 70 percent of the fauna has obviously come to the islands through archipelagoes to the southwest, but only 15 percent of the fauna is of tropicopolitan character. About half of the Hawaiian Gammaridea comprises endemic species. Small percentages (2–6) of the fauna have affinities with Antarctica, the Caribbean Sea, and Australian warm-temperate regions, but a significant percentage (20) of the fauna has affinities with cool waters of North America.

3.   Amphipods of cool-water affinity in Hawaii are primarily tubicolous species; nestling taxa apparently are infrequently successful in completing the long journey or surviving once in Hawaii. Three of the cool-water imports have not diverged from their continental populations, but the remainder have; at least two of those species have diverged sufficiently to be assigned to distinct genera and probably several others will eventually be assigned to unique genera.

4.   Endemic Hawaiian species of Indo-Pacific affinity include one unique genus, whereas the other discrete Hawaiian genera have apparently come from Antarctica or the Caribbean region or have unknown affinities.

5.   The tropical component of the Hawaiian fauna is diverse and not impoverished by a priori standards, but those standards may have to be revised in view of the unexpected Hawaiian diversity and the poorly explored tropical regions. Added to the diverse tropical component is the cool-water component. Nearly all of the expected tropical families and genera occur in Hawaii, and some are more diverse than in any other tropical locality so far studied.

6.   Micronesia and Polynesia have contributed to Hawaiian amphipods about equally with cool-water North America, but only about half of those central Pacific imports to Hawaii have diverged. The pool of amphipods endemic to the central Pacific is far less than the cool-water pool, and members of the former pool would already be preadapted to Hawaiian thermal regimes in contrast to members of the cool-water pool. As small units, various archipelagoes in the central Pacific should have low endemicity owing to their close connection toward the Indo-Pacific to the west. But their topical influence on Hawaii is great because they form the pathway for immigration of the majority of tropical Hawaiian species having broad Indo-Pacific affinity. Thus, half of the Hawaiian endemic species has come from the Polynesian direction. This degree of endemicity should be sufficient to demonstrate the high degree of isolation of the Hawaiian Archipelago, but the additional isolates from other regions reinforce that knowledge considerably.

7.   The low incidence of sympatric polytypy in Hawaiian amphipodan genera and the absence of any multispecificity of endemic Hawaiian genera suggest the near lack of adaptive radiation having occurred within the Hawaiian chain. Several pairs of species with close sympatric relationships can be explained alternatively as the consequence of successive immigrations of the same ancestral species; most of these cases have also resulted in the establishment of one of the members of each pair in nondivergent condition.

8.   The absence of any steppingstones between Hawaii and cool waters of the northern warm-temperate regions suggests that Hawaiian species with warm-temperate affinities probably represent good examples of changes that can occur within one increment of isolation. Most of the speciation that has occurred in these warm-temperate imports is of ordinary magnitude but a few species have undergone radical morphological changes within this framework. There is little likelihood that these radical changes occurred stepwise by repeated to and fro migration of populations. Though each case represents only one or two changes and each change may be under the control of simple genetic events, the results seem radical because they concern morphological characters normally considered to be conservative and therefore of familial importance. The suggestion is made that these changes and many others may actually be highly replicative genetic occurrences but that the morphological and functional consequences to the organism result in selective lethality except in very special or youthful environments such as that of Hawaii. There is nothing novel in that idea except in pinpointing the particular characters in Amphipoda that have been held as conservative for many decades. If events like the loss of a mandibular palp, the loss of an article on a maxillipedal palp, the coalescence of two urosomal segments, the development of a special gnathopodal tooth on an abnormally proximal article, and the reversal in dominance of gnathopodal pairs could occur within the framework of a single increment of isolation, then one might prudently reexamine the affinities of various families such as Prophliatidae, Kuriidae, Calliopiidae, Ochlesidae, and Cressidae and reexamine generic goodness in varius inquilinous families such as Stenothoidae and Stegocephalidae now based on palpar metamery. To consider Alottoi, a perfectly good aorid genus under present taxonomic practice, to have arisen from a species of Gammaropsis (Isaeidae) that may still be extant, is to remove a mystique of antiquity in our viewpoint that all gammaridean genera are old, solidly fixed, and conservatively developed by eras of slow genetic change and selection.

Systematical Procedure

A diversity of descriptive methods is used that varies with the state of knowledge in various taxa. Some species require descriptions in view of their uncertain taxonomic positions whereas, at the other extreme, a short diagnosis suffices for species in well-known genera or families. Long diagnoses often characterize species in genera of extreme diversity, and a few taxa have long diagnoses or descriptions because of the richness or variability in morphological detail. Many words are eliminated by consultation of the figures.

Except in obvious cases, the Hawaiian names proposed here for amphipods stand as nouns in apposition to their generic appellations. They are primarily chosen for euphonious reasons from place names scattered throughout the islands or from the names of important personages or deities in Hawaiian history. Some generic names are also proposed in this way but others are formed of contractions containing only partially Hawaiian roots. It is senseless to invent reasons for choosing these names so they are not considered further.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—Off Waikiki Marine Laboratory, from Sargassum in shallow water, 11 March 1964 (3 specimens).

MATERIAL.—Type-locality, also from the alga Padina (1). JLB Hawaii 2 (2). Feel (38).

RELATIONSHIP.—The mammilliform process of the pereopodal dactyls is unique to this species. In other characters it comes closest to Gitanopsis vilordes J. L. Barnard (1962c) from California, but differs from that species in the rounded and not sharp corner on the anterodistal end of article 6 on gnathopod 1.

Amphilochus kailua resembles G. pusilla K. H. Barnard (1916), but G. pusilla has a tooth on the dactyls of only pereopods 1–2.

The mammilliform process on the dactyls of the pereopods distinguishes this species from its close relative Amphilochus neapolitanus Delia Valle (J. L. Barnard, 1962c).

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

MATERIAL.—JLB Hawaii 5 (2), 6 (5), 11 (4).

RELATIONSHIP.—Resembles Amphilochus kailua, new species, most of any Hawaiian species because the gnathopodal dactyls lack supernumerary pectinations but differs from that species in the simple dactyls of pereopods 1–5. The individuals of A. likelike so far collected, though adult, are smaller than 1.7 mm and the undeveloped outer plate of the maxilliped may be a reflection of this small size.

Amphilochus likelike is like G. vilordes in many respects, as is A. menehune, new species, but A. likelike has the stout spine on article 2 of gnathopods 1–2 which A. menehune does not have and which G. vilordes has only on gnathopod 2; A. likelike differs from G. vilordes in the shorter article 5 lobe on gnathopod 1 and the more conical mandibular molar. Amphilochus menehune differs from A. likelike in the presence of stout spine(s) on the posterior margin of article 4 on gnathopod 2.

Among Hawaiian species of the genus, the fine pectinations on the gnathopodal palms are especially small in A. likelike.

The absence of spines on article 4 of gnathopod 2 distinguishes this species from its close relative, Amphilochus neapolitanus Delia Valle (J. L. Barnard, 1962c).

The name is pronounced in English transliteration: leek-ee-leek-ee.

Amphilochus menehune, new species

FIGURES 5, 6

DIAGNOSIS.—Body without dorsal cusps; lateral cephalic lobe rounded; eye very large, varying from clear in formaldehyde and alcohol to a clear ring of ommatidia surrounding a slightly pigmented core to eyes with fully black pigmented core; antenna 1 scarcely extending to end of peduncle of antenna 2; stout lobe of article 5 on gnathopod 1 extending about halfway along article 6 and slender lobe on gnathopod 2 extending about 90 percent along article 6, anterodistal corner of article 6 on gnathopod 2 sharply extended, article 4 of gnathopod 2 with 1–3 very stout ventral spines; dactyls of gnathopods pectinate or bearing scales on proximal inner edges; coxa 1 short, almost hemispherical, bearing 1 distal notch, coxae 2–3 with medium-sized distal serrations; mandibular molar weakly triturative, subconical and of medium size; outer plate of maxilliped distomedially excavate and pectinate, distolateral end with large spine; dactyls of pereopods 1–5 simple or with very faint distal nail marked by 1–2 weak scales; pleonal epimeron 1 with slight posteroventral tooth, epimeron 2 with slightly extended corner and 3 with rounded-quadrate corner; telson about 40 percent as long as peduncle of uropod 3, apically rounded but coniform.

Urosome like that of Gitanopsis pele, new species, but inner ramus of uropod 2 reaching only to a point halfway between the ends of peduncles of uropods 1 and 3.

COLOR IN 2-DAY FORMALDEHYDE.—Widely variable from completely albinid having black ocular core to medium brown body with brown eye turning clear in alcohol. Forms with medium brown body have the pigment on posterior half of head, pereonites 1–6, coxae 1–6, articles 2–5 of gnathopod 1, all of gnathopod 2 and pereopod 3; these individuals turn rusty pink in alcohol; in formaldehyde also are individuals already turned rusty pink; a fourth form has extremely rare and widely scattered chromatophores over the thorax and abdomen and occasional weak blotches of brown or pink in various places.

RELATIONSHIP.—This species resembles the Californian Gitanopsis vilordes]. L. Barnard (1962c), but the mandibular molar of A. menehune is more conical, article 6 of gnadiopod 2 lacks midanterior spines, article 4 of gnathopod 2 has 1–3 posterior spines, article 2 of gnadiopod 2 has a posterodistal seta and not a spine, coxa 1 is less quadrate in shape, the lateral cephalic lobe is more rounded, and article 6 of gnathopod 1 smaller relative to article 5, with its posterior lobe stouter and shorter, than in G. vilordes.

The short coxa 1 and strong molarial rugosites of A. menehune distinguish it from its close relative, A. picadurus J. L. Barnard (1962c).

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

Gitana liliuokalaniae, new species

FIGURES 7, 8

DIAGNOSIS.—Rostrum large, lateral cephalic lobe weak, rounded, eye large, red in 2-day formaldehyde, clear peripherally with dim orange core in alcohol; flagellum of antenna 1 with numeous long aesthetascs (antenna 2 broken, upper lip unknown); palp article 2 of mandible stout, incisor normal; palp of maxilla 1 apparently 1-articulate; outer plate of maxilliped densely serrate distomedially, not excavate, distolateral margin with long seta, palp article 1 longest but not twice as long as article 2, articles 1 and 2 slightly produced distomedially, dactyl as long as article 3 and bearing 1 apical setule; gnathopods 1–2 very weak, slender, similar to each otiier, simple article 5 produced in posterodistal lobe strongly on gnathopod 2, lobe overriding article 6, lobe weaker on gnathopod 1, article 5 scarcely longer man article 6, anterior margin of article 6 distally constricted, dactyl pointing distad; coxa 1 broadly rounded below, coxa 2 narrowing evenly from anterior margin only, with 1–2 small posteroventral teeth or one tooth substituted by distomedial notch (right and left sides differ); pleonal epimera 1–3 increasingly sharply quadrate posteroventrally; uropods 1 and 3 extending equally, inner ramus of uropod 2 reaching end of peduncle of uropod 3; telson half as long as peduncle of uropod 3.

HOLOTYPE.—Bishop Museum collections, catalog number 7247, ?male, 1.2 mm. Unique.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—JLB Hawaii 13, Kaneohe Bay, Oahu, 3-4 m, small corals, fleshy algae, corallines, 8 April 1967.

RELATIONSHIP.—Only 4 other species of this genus are known, 3 from the cold-temperate North Atlantic and one from warm-temperate California. Gitana liliuokalaniae resembles G. calitemplado J. L.-Barnard (1962c) from California least of any and has characters of the other three mixed together. The extraordinarily weak article 6 of the gnathopods resembles that of G. rostrata Boeck (Sars, 1895, pl. 79, fig. 1) but the presence of a weak lobe on article 5 of gnathopod 2 is more reminiscent of G. abyssicola Sars (1895, pl. 78, fig. 2) or G. sarsi Boeck (Sars, 1895, pl. 78, fig. 1). Gitana liliuokalaniae also resembles Gitanopsis arctica Sars (1895, pl. 77, fig. 2) in maxillipeds and mandibular palp more than it does its congeners. In fact, G. artica is intermediate between Gitana and Gitanopsis in diat it has the 2-articulate first maxillary palp of Gitanopsis but the weak gnathopods of Gitana. Gitana liliuokalaniae differs from all cold-temperate species of Gitana in the short telson.

FIGURE 7.—Gitana liliuokalaniae, new species, holotype, male, 1.2 mm, JLB Hawaii 13: a, b, medial gnathopods 1, 2; c, d, e, pereopods 1, 4, 5, medial; f, head; g, pleon; h, spines of article 6 on pereopod 1.

Affinities with Gitanogeiton sarsi Stebbing (1910) from warm-temperate Australia (Manning River area) are strong in Gitana liliuokalaniae, and the Hawaiian species almost forms a good link between Gitana and Gitanogeiton. The latter monotypic genus differs from Gitana in several fairly weak characters: the slightly excavate outer plate of the maxillipeds, the slightly elongate palp article 1 of the maxilliped, and the broadened incisor of the mandibles. Gnathopods of Gitanogeiton resemble those of Gitanopsis arctica in that gnathopod 2 has a strong palm and gnadiopod 1 a weak palm, and each article 5 has a strong posteroventral lobe, stronger Uian that of G. liliuokalaniae. The latter has the strong palp article 2 of the mandible seen in Gitanogeiton, but the molar in G. liliuokalaniae is stronger, the incisor weaker, the palp of the maxilliped is relatively longer and stouter. Unfortunately, the upper lip of G. liliuokalaniae was lost during dissection and cannot be compared with the unusually deeply incised lip of Gitanogeiton. Gitana liliuokalaniae seems to have its presently known strongest affinites with Gitanopsis arctica, a species that, because of its gnadiopods, may rightly belong with Gitana rather than with Gitanopsis despite the occurrence of a 2-articulate palp on maxilla 1.

FIGURE 8.—Gitana liliuokalaniae, new species, holotype, male, 1.2 mm, JLB Hawaii 13: a, mandible; b, c, coxae 4, 1; d, right mandibular molar; e, right mandibular incisor and spines; f, outer plate of maxilla 1; g, maxilliped; h, maxilla 2; i, apex of lower lip; j, maxilla 1; k, telson.

Gitanopsis simplex Schellenberg (1926), from Antarctica, resembles the Hawaiian species in gnathopods, but the palm of gnathopod 2 in G. simplex is distinct and article 6 is longer than article 5. The telson of G. simplex is longer than it is in G. liliuokalaniae, and apparently the peduncle of antenna 1 in the first species is much longer than it is in the second species.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

Gitanopsis pele, new species

FIGURE 9

DIAGNOSIS.—Body without dorsal cusps; lateral cephalic lobe broadly rounded; eye large, with core of black pigment in alcohol; antennae extending subequally; gnathopods small but palms strong and nearly transverse, stout lobe of article 5 on gnathopod 1 extending about halfway along article 6 and about 75–85 percent on gnathopod 2, sixth articles weakly expanded distally and much longer than broad, about half as broad as their coxae, dactyls proximally pectinate on inner edges; coxa 1 distally tapering and subconical, posteroventral corner serrate, coxa 2 with 1 small posteroventral notch; mandibular molar large, cushion-shaped, strongly triturative; outer plate of maxilliped with mediodistal margin slightly excavate and pectinate (as in Gitanogeiton and Gitanopsis tortugae); dactyls of pereopods 1–5 simple; pleonal epimera 1–2 each with small posteroventral tooth, cpimeron 3 rounded-quadrate posteroventrally; telson of medium length, about 60 percent as long as peduncle of uropod 3, apically rounded but coniform.

HOLOTYPE.—Bishop Museum collections, catalog number 7251, ovigerous female, 2.7 mm.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—JLB Hawaii 10, Kaneohe Bay, Oahu, 2 m, Pocillopora, 23 February 1967.

MATERIAL.—JLB Hawaii 10 (50).

RELATIONSHIP.—This species resembles the Caribbean G. tortugae Shoemaker (1933a, p. 248, fig. 2). Maxilla 1 and the accessory flagellum of the 2 species are similar among numerous other characters of even greater importance. Gitanopsis pele differs from G. tortugae primarily in two minor characters: (1) the serrations of coxae 1–2 and (2) the large eyes.

Gitanopsis pusilla K. H. Barnard (1916) from South Africa and G. vilordes J. L. Barnard (1962c) from California differ from G. pele and G. tortugae in their large gnathopods with article 6 wider than their coxae and strongly expanded distally. Gitanopsis pusilloides Shoemaker (1942) from Pacific Mexico has very short processes on article 5 of the gnathopods and more strongly transverse palms than do G. pele and G. tortugae.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

Subfamily CYPROIDEINAE

Mokuoloe, new genus

DIAGNOSIS.—Rostrum short; flagella of first and second antennae 4 and 2-articulate respectively, bearing long aesthetascs; epistome nearly flat anteriorly; upper lip evenly incised; mandible with triturative molar and normal 3-articulate palp; lower lip angularly excavate medially; palp of maxilla 1 uniarticulate, bearing large strap-shaped terminal setae, outer plate with 7 spines, inner plate short and truncate; maxilla 2 with apically truncate lobes; outer plate of maxilliped large and exceeding end of palp article 2, palp article 3 apicomedially produced as thumb, dactyl stout and closing on thumb; coxa 2 larger than coxa 1; gnathopods 1–2 of medium stoutness, subchelate, dactyl of gnathopod 1 strongly overlapping palm, of gnathopod 2 fitting palm, article 5 of gnathopod 1 lobe obsolete, of gnathopod 2 lobe extending more than halfway along article 6, palms of gnathopods deeply and sharply serrate; pereopods 3–4 with slender article 2, pereopod 5 with expanded article 2; uropod I longest, uropods 2-3 extending successively less, outer ramus of uropod 3 shorter than inner ramus; telson extending almost to apex of uropod 3, boat-shaped, triangular, entire, with lateral keel; pleonite 4 long, weakly keeled bilaterally on dorsal surface, pleonite 5 covered by junction of 4 and 6, 6 with weak lateral keel on each side and not vaulting over telson.

TYPE-SPECIES.—Mokuoloe ninole, new species.

RELATIONSHIP.—Peltocoxa Catta (Chevreux and Fage, 1925) and Hoplopheonoides Shoemaker (1956) from Florida are the cyproidins seemingly closest to this genus—not various Australian and New Zealand genera, but even relationships with those two Atlantic genera are weak.

Peltocoxa Catta has a long maxillipedal palp, slender inner plate of maxilla 1, strong mandibular lobes on the lower lip, narrow lobes on maxilla 2, no strap-shaped setae, a dorsoventrally thickened telson, inflated article 2 of pereopod 4, small gnathopods, gnathopod 2 with transverse palm and gnathopod 1 with oblique palm confluent with the posterior margin of article 6 and bearing only articulate spines.

Hoplopheonoides has small gnathopods with rectangular sixth articles and transverse palms, an enormous urosomite 1 with dorsal keel, no mandibular palp, long maxillipedal palp, and numerous other differences.

Family AMPITHOIDAE

Ampithoe akuolaka, new species

FIGURES 12, 13

DIAGNOSIS OF MALE.—All pleonal epimera with lateral ridges, rounded posteroventrally, but with small obtuse notch bearing setule; articles 5 and 6 equal to each other in length, article 5 with truncate posterior margin and triangular posterodistal extension slightly overlapping article 6, article 2 with large distolateral lobe, article 6 narrowly rectangular and slightly tapering, palm very short and obsolescent, posterior margin of article 6 with defining spine, dactyl strongly overlapping palm; gnathopod 2 of medium size, article 2 with large anterodistal lobe, article 4 weakly coniform distally, article 5 short, with narrow bifid, setose posterior lobe, hand longer than broad, deeply bifid on palm, heavily setose, dactyl strongly overlapping large tooth of palm; article 2 of pereopods 1–2 more than twice as long as broad; pereopods 3–5 with simple sixth articles bearing distal pair of small straight locking spines, one smaller and more erect than other, largest very long on pereopod 3, dactyl simple; article 2 of pereopod 3 very broad and lacking spines or notches, article 2 of pereopods 4–5 with 2 or 3 stout posterodistal spines; antenna 1 about as long as head and pereonites 1-6 together, antenna 2 short, peduncular articles short and of medium thickness, entire antenna about as long as head and pereonites 1-4 together, flagellum slender, almost as long as articles 4–5 together; apical lobules of lower lip very short and tumid, lateral longer than medial; coxa 1 produced forward; peduncular processes between rami of uropods 1–2 absent, peduncles of uropods 1–3 with lateral setae, arranged in axial row on uropod 1, in one bundle on uropods 2–3; eyes pale purple in alcohol.

FEMALE.—Gnathopod 1 lacking posterodistal triangular extension on article 5; gnathopod 2 small, article 5 elongate and bearing medium-sized triangular lobe, palm of narrow article 6 very oblique, slightly S-shaped, defined by large spine, dactyl fitting palm.

JUVENILE (smallest available, 3.6 mm).—Similar to female and bearing peduncular setae on uropods 1–3, notches and lateral ridges on pleonal epimera.

HOLOTYPE.—Bishop Museum collections, catalog number 7253, male, 5.6 mm.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—JLB Hawaii 17, Kawela Bay, Oahu, intertidal, Sargassum, other algae, rocks, corals, 24 May 1967.

MATERIAL.—JLB Hawaii 17 (2), 18 (2).

RELATIONSHIP.—The lower lip of this species resembles that of A. pollex Kunkel (W Atlantic, NE Pacific) and gnathopod 2 of the male resembles the juvenile male of A. pollex. Ampithoe akuolaka appears to differ from the Pacific population of A. pollex (J. L. Barnard, 1965b), in the shorter medial lobules on the lower lip, the broader article 2 of pereopod 3, the presence of stout spines on article 2 of pereopods 4–5, the stronger palm of gnathopod 1, and the posterodistal triangular extension on article 5 of male gnathopod 1.

The latter characteristic suggests a relationship of A. akuolaka to A. ramondi Audouin, but the apical hooks on the outer ramus of uropod 3 of that species are highly reverted, no stout spines occur on the posterior margins of article 2 on pereopods 4–5, gnathopod 2 of the male apparently does not go through the akuolaka stage, the lateral apical lobules of the lower lip are thinner, and the female hand of gnathopod 2 is stouter. The hand of young male gnathopod 2 is like that of Oregonian A. simulans Alderman (1936) (J. L. Barnard, 1965b) and so are pleonal epimera 1-3 highly similar, but male gnathopod 1 article 5 of A. simulans is not produced posterodistally, the lateral apical lobule of the lower lip is thin, pereopods 4–5 lack the posterior spines on article 2, and the dactyl of male gnathopod 2 does not strongly overlap the palmar tooth. Possibly the specimens represented in J. L. Barnard (1965b, fig. 18) are a fourth sibling species in the complex of A. pollex-simulans-akuolaka.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

Ampithoe kaneohe, new species

FIGURES 14, 15, 16, 24l

DIAGNOSIS OF MALE.—All pleonal epimera posteroventrally rounded; article 6 of gnathopod 1 longer than article 5, posterior margin of article 5 moderately broad but with weak, broadly coniform lobe, article 6 ovatorectangular, of medium stoutness, palm very oblique and defined by stout spine; gnathopod 2 with elongate, tapering article 6, palm and posterior margin congruent, undefined, minutely crenulate, sparsely setose, medioterminal face of article 6 bearing large brush of long, apically turned, stiff setae, article 5 short and bearing strong, slender posterior lobe, article 7 half as long as article 6, distal lobe of article 2 very large; article 2 of pereopods 1–2 more than twice as long as broad; pereopods 3–5 with subprehensile sixth articles, each bearing palm closely guarded by a striate curved spine, 2 other striate spines at palmar corner and 1 small spine near dactylar hinge, dactyls partially striate on pereopods 3–5; antennae 1–2 long and extending equally, antenna 2 peduncle especially long, flagellum scarcely as long as article 5, slender, weakly setose; lateral apical lobule of lower lip much longer than medial and bearing apical nipple; coxa 1 produced forward; peduncular process of uropod 1 short, peduncle with sparse row of ventrolateral setae; eyes very small, clear or with slight posterior dark pigment in alcohol.

HOLOTYPE.—Bishop Museum collections, catalog number 7254, male, 5.4 mm.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—Off Waikiki Marine Laboratory, 11 March 1964, from Ulna, shallow water (4 specimens).

MATERIAL.—Hanauma Bay, Oahu, 29 February 1964, from Acanthophora, depth unknown. Fee 1 (24). JLB Hawaii 12 (4), 13 (6), 15 (2).

RELATIONSHIP.—The subprehensile pereopods 3–5 give this species the aspect of a Pleonexes, but diat subgenus should be restricted for those few species also having large cornified lobes or wings on the telson. See Ampithoe (Pleonexes) poipu below. Ampithoe should include that taxon described by Barnard (1965b) as Pleonexes species from Micronesia, which I designate now as Ampithoe kulafi, new species. It and Ampithoe kaneohe appear to be a closely related pair in terms of subprehensile pereopods, lower lip, gnathopod 1, and uropod 1, but A. kulafi (anagram of Ifaluk, its type-locality) has a very different male gnathopod 2, with subcircular article 6 bearing a transverse palm. Ampithoe kaneohe is the only known species of the genus with male gnathopod 2 having the palm and posterior margin of the hand congruent and that abo has a nonrectangular gnathopod 1 with oblique palm. Thus, it differs from Ampithoe orientalis Dana of the Hawaiian Islands in that character plus the subprehensile pereopods 3–5.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

NOTES.—Drawings of this common circumtropical species are presented to establish means for future comparison of the Hawaiian population (or a small portion of it) to others in far parts of the world and with other Hawaiian members of the genus.

Of special interest is the thickening of the setae on the anterodistal lobes of the second articles on gnathopods 1–2. The distal locking spines of pereopods 3–5 in the juvenile are composed of a very small, thin, straight, spirally striate spine, next proximal an erect slightly curved, enlarged, spirally striate spine and next proximal a straight, axially striate spine. On pereopods 3–5 of adults a pair of distal, weakly sabre-shaped, large, semispirally striate spines occurs with the next proximal spine, a nearly straight, axially striate member.

Eyes clear in alcohol or very pale pink.

Uropod 1 has a lateral setal row. The inner plate of maxilla 1 has 4 setae in adults.

Ampithoe waialua, new species

FIGURES 20, 21

DIAGNOSIS OF MALE.—All pleonal epimera rounded posteroventrally; article 6 of gnathopod 1 longer than article 5, latter subtriangular, posterior lobe turned slightly distalward and article 4 broadly extended triangularly to fit posteroproximal oblique margin of article 5, article 2 with large distolateral lobe, article 6 subrectangular, palm short and oblique, excavate, dactyl strongly overlapping palm, large medial-defining spine strongly proximal to apex of defining cusp; gnathopod 2 small, article 2 with mammiliform, sparsely setose distolateral lobe, article 4 slender, posterodistally coniform, article 5 relatively long for genus, bearing asymmetrically triangular posterior lobe, hand expanded, palm oblique and excavate, with defining cusp, dactyl failing to fit palm; article 2 of pereopods 1-2 about twice as long as broad; pereopods 3–5 with simple sixth articles bearing distal pair of striate, nearly straight locking spines and one other striate spine proximal to locking pair, dactyl slightly striate; article 2 of pereopod 3 very broad and bearing 1–2 large anterior notches armed with stout spine; antenna 1 about as long as head and first 8 body segments together, antenna 2 about two-thirds as long as antenna 1, flagellum slender and as long as articles 4–5 of peduncle together; lateral apical lobule of lower lip much longer than medial and bearing apical nipple, inner lobes partially coalesced with medial lobule of outer lobe; coxa 1 produced forward; peduncular process between rami of uropod 1 obsolescent, sharply and obtusely triangular, peduncle with short lateral setae; eyes clear (adult) or with pale purple cores (juveniles) in alcohol.

FEMALE.—Gnathopod 1 with narrower lobe on article 2 than in male, much weaker article 4 with small process, article 5 longer and with broader posterior lobe, palm not excavate; gnathopod 2 with narrower article 6 bearing slightly S-shaped palm defined by spine, dactyl slightly overlapping palm; peduncle of antenna 2 more slender than in male, peduncle of antenna 1 reaching only to end of article 4 on peduncle of antenna 2.

JUVENILE.—Uropod 1 with a few lateral setae and pereopod 3 with 1–2 notches; palm of gnathopod 2 on young male smooth like that of female.

HOLOTYPE.—Bishop Museum collections, catalog number 7255, male, 4.0 mm.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—JLB Hawaii 14, 1 mi N of Kualoa Point, Oahu, intertidal, algae, dead coral heads, 23 May 1967.

MATERIAL.—JLB Hawaii 5(36), 6(8), 8(3), 12(3), 14(13), 15(7).

RELATIONSHIP.—Ampithoe waialua resembles the adolescent stages of A. simulans Alderman (J. L. Barnard, 1965b) from Pacific America. The resemblance occurs in various gross similarities such as antennae and gnathopods, but A. waialua has a much broader article 2 on pereopod 3 with an anterior notch and spine. The palm of male gnathopod 2 in A. waialua apparently does not pass through a stage of deep notching and splitting off of a tooth as the male ages, but gnathopod 2 remains relatively small, the palm becomes excavate, and a small defining cusp develops. The hand expands so that the dactyl fails to fit the full palmar length. Article 4 of gnadiopod 2 maintains a posterodistal protrusion and the gnathopod generally remains in a juvenoid condition. The spines on uropods 1–2 of A. simulans are very stout and short and the palm of male gnathopod 1 is not excavate.

Ampithoe waialua also has a strong relationship to A. ramondi Audouin, the only circumtropical ampidioe. Gnathopod 2 is close to that of A. ramondi except for the absence of the anterodistal protrusion on article 6, and gnathopod 1 of A. waialua is, of course, a small edition of gnadiopod 2 in the excavate palm. The lobe on article 2 of gnathopod 2 in male A. waialua is smaller than that on A. ramondi, and the hand of gnathopod 1 in both sexes of A. ramondi is very weakly developed and scarcely subchelate. Californian populations of A. ramondi resemble A. waialua in the partial coalescence of the inner lobes on the lower lip with the medial lobules of the outer lobes; that condition may be a result of preservation, however, as Chevreux and Fage (1925) show the inner lobes as free in Mediterranean material and Hawaiian members of A. ramondi have free lobes.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

Ampithoe species

FIGURE 17 j–p

MATERIAL.—JLB Hawaii 17 (1), 18 (1).

NOTES.—Two females of a species belonging to the same group as A. orientalis differ from A. orientalis in the parachelate palms of the gnadiopods, slightly longer hands, with gnadiopod 2 of the same slenderness as gnadiopod 1 in contrast to gnadiopod 2 on A. orientalis female that is much stouter and bears a distinct lobe on article 5; gnathopod 2 has article 5 about 10 percent shorter and article 6 about 10 percent longer than shown for the figured gnathopod 1; articles 2 and 4 of pereopods 1-2 are even more tumid than those on A. orientalis; antenna 2 is extremely short and stout in comparison to that of A. orientalis, the flagellum slightly longer than article 5 of the peduncle; uropod 3 is enlarged like small individuals of the American A. lacertosa Bate (J. L. Barnard, 1965b); the apical lobules of the lower lip are short and extend subequally in contrast to diose of A. orientalis.

Pereopods 1–5 have locking spines and dactyls like those of A. orientalis and Figure 17o represents both species; the distal locking spines are formed of a pair of weak, striate sabres, the next proximal spine being straight and axially striate.

FIGURE 20.—Ampithoe waialua, new species, holotype, male, 4.0 mm, JLB Hawaii 14: a, head; b, telson; c, medial gnathopod 2; d, apex of medial gnathopod 1; e, apex of gnathopod 2, medial; f, anterior notch on article 2 of pereopod 3; g, gnathopod 1.

Uropod 1 has a large peduncular tooth like that of A. orientalis, and the tooth of uropod 2 is obsolescent. The eyes are medium in size, with faint purple cores and small ommatidia, whereas the eyes of A. orientalis are large, clear in alcohol, and have large ommatidia. Pleonal epimera, like those of A. orientalis, are rounded posteroventrally but bear lateral ridges.

Head with weak anteroventral excavation in Ampithoe species and strong in A. orientalis.

Anterior notches and spines on article 2 of pereopod 3 are large like those of A. waialua. Those of A. orientalis are smaller.

REMARKS.—This species is obviously distinct from any other in the Hawaiian Islands but whether it is new cannot be decided until males are collected. It apparently has relationships to the boreal North Pacific group with thin, transverse (or parachelate) palm of gnathopod 1, but Hawaiian A. orientalis also has the same boreal aspect even though it, or a species like it, was described originally from the Philippine Islands. Whether the Hawaiian A. orientalis is indeed the same species as the type described by Dana from Manila is now debatable in view of the strong endemicity found in Hawaiian Gammaridea. One also may wonder if the early collecting labels were highly accurate as several cases of incorrect labeling have been noted or suspected in Amphipoda.

No North Pacific Ampithoe with parachelate gnathopod 1 has yet been described (J. L. Barnard, 1965b and Gurjanova, 1951), and the Hawaiian Ampithoe species probably is a new, endemic species.

Ampithoe (Pleonexes) poipu, new species

FIGURES 22, 23, 24 a–k

DIAGNOSIS OF MALE.—All pleonal epimera posteroventrally rounded, lacking lateral ridges; article 6 of gnathopod 1 much longer than article 5, posterior lobe of article 5 very narrow and slightly hooked, article 4 widi small posterodistal lobe, article 6 rectangular, moderately thin, palm oblique, weak, defined by striate spine occurring almost on posterior margin of hand; gnadiopod 2 like gnathopod 1 and not strongly enlarged, distal lobe on article 2 of medium size; article 2 of pereopods 1–2 more than twice as long as broad; pereopods 3–5 with subprehensile sixth articles similar to but not as strong as those of A. kaneohe, new species, large striate sabre spine not guarding smaller palm as closely as in A. kaneohe, other member of distal pair very small and nearly straight, next proximal spine large and next to that one of medium size, dactyls strongly striate; antenna 1 much shorter than 2, peduncle of antenna 2 short and stout, flagellum heavily armed with setular brushes and nearly as long as peduncle; lateral apical lobules of lower lip much longer than medial; coxa 1 weakly produced forward; peduncular process of uropod 1 short and blunt, that on uropod 2 obsolescent and bluntly triangular, peduncle of uropod 1 with lateral setal row; eyes small (clear in alcohol but specimens old); telson with pair of large reverted dorsal hooks formed from normal nobs of other ampithoes.

FEMALE.—Gnathopods 1–2 like male gnathopod 1; antenna 2 with slightly thinner peduncle and flagellum than on male and flagellum only as long as articles 3–5 of peduncle.

HOLOTYPE.—Bishop Museum collections, catalog number 7256, male, 9.0 mm.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—Poipu Beach, Kauai, 17 September 1959, IV. 4. d, Chir. haw., collection H. Caspers.

MATERIAL.—Eleven specimens from the type-locality.

REMARKS.—Pleonexes Bate now seems to have been an artificial genus composed of members of Ampithoe with dorsal telsonic hooks as extensions of the normal nobs plus subprehensile pereopods 3–5. This is well demonstrated with A. (P.) poipu in its affinities with A. kaneohe, new species, that has stronger palms on the pereopods but no dorsal hooks and with A. kulafi, new species (Pleonexes species of J. L. Barnard 1965a), that has stronger palms of pereopods but no hooks. The type-species of the genus, P. gammaroides Bate (Sars, 1895, pl. 207) from the Atlantic Ocean has the same overall aspect of A. (P.) poipu, but the gnathopodal palms are better developed, the lower lip has no medial lobules, the antennae are more strongly subequal to each other, the palmar spines on pereopods 3–5 are weaker but of similar aspect, and uropod 3 is slightly enlarged in the female (like that of Ampithoe species herein).

There is undoubtedly some genetic connection among A. (P.) gammaroides and A. (P.) poipu as seen also in the special shape of the peduncular process on uropod 1, but A. kaneohe is equally to be considered in this connection, for it resembles P. gammaroides in the obsolescence (or concealment) of medial lobules on the lower lip unlike A. (P.) poipu and also shares the same uropod 1 process.

Pleonexes lessoniae Hurley (1954a) is a member of the group of ampithoes bearing thin hands of gnathopod 1 with transverse palm. The palms of pereopods 3–5 resemble those of gnathopod 1. The outer rami of uropods 1–2 lack dorsal spines and the outer lobes of the lower lip are scarcely modified apically, bearing only one small nipple instead of two lobes.

REMARKS.—The anteroventral cephalic corner is either typical of Micronesian individuals, with a small sharp tooth at the corner, or it is perfectly quadrate. The material is in superior condition and one may see in better detail than heretofore that the mouthparts normally said to have become vestigial or absent have a recognizable structure; 3 pairs of tiny vestiges possibly representing mandible and maxillae 1–2 occur on either side of the ventral keel. The presumed mandible appears as a tiny “palp” with a long terminal seta, maxilla 1 appears as a small lobe dorsolateral to a larger lobe presumed to be maxilla 2.

COLOR IN 2-DAY FORMALDEHYDE.—Either white with ruby eye or body with wide vertical pink-red stripes on middle of each of pereonites 1–7, becoming paler posteriorly on pereon.

DISTRIBUTION.—Indo-Pacific tropics from Ceylon to Hawaii.

Family AORIDAE

Aloiloi, new genus

DIAGNOSIS.—Antennae equal in length, as long as head and 5.5 pereonites, accessory flagellum multiarticulate, article 3 of antenna 1 as long as article 1, recessment of head for antenna 2 moderate; epistome unproduced anteriorly; mandibular palp stout, dominating mandibular body; inner plate of maxilla 1 lined medially with setae; maxillipedal palp article 4 very short, bearing long apical spine; article 4 of gnathopod 1 not produced, article 5 short, broad, cup-shaped, article 6 broad and long, broader than article 5, bearing oblique palm, gnathopod 1 lacking any teeth; gnathopod 2 smaller than 1 but large for family, similar to but thinner than gnathopod 1, poorly setose anteriorly on article 5; rami of uropod 3 equal to each other in length and slightly shorter than peduncle.

TYPE-SPECIES.—A. nenue, new species.

RELATIONSHIP.—This genus superficially resembles Lembos Bate, but the structure of its gnathopods, antennae, and maxillae suggest that it may represent a species with affinities to the genus Gammaropsis Liljeborg of the Isaeidae. Gnathopod 2, though smaller than gnathopod 1, has all the characters typical of many members of Gammaropsis, including the excavate palm and giant medial spine, maxilla 1 has setae on the medial edge of the inner plate like many species of Gammaropsis, and article 3 of antenna 1 is elongate.

One would have to assume that an axial reversal in gnathopodal dominance has produced the enlarged gnathopod 1. It also has the appearance of a gnathopod 2 on various members of Gammaropsis. A strong resemblance to Gammaropsis pali, new species, occurs in Aloiloi.

FIGURE 27.—Anamixis stebbingi Walker, specimen 1.8 mm, JLB Hawaii 10: a, lateral view of body.

This genus may assist in demonstrating that various aorids have had diverse origins from isaeids (photids) and do not represent a fundamental line of evolution with a common ancestor.

REMARKS.—The Hawaiian population has minor differences from any stages so far described from the cold and warm-temperate regions of Pacific North America, but it is pointless to attach any nomenclatural significance to these minor differences until the life history of the species can be thoroughly examined. The largest male at hand (2.4 mm long) is not as fully developed as that described by J. L. Barnard (1954a), but coxa 1 has undergone the expected terminal modification, article 4 of gnathopod 1 is attenuate, but articles 5 and 7 are shorter and article 6 stouter than in the cold-temperate male; thus, the Hawaiian male resembles the younger stages of the cold-temperate populations. Young Hawaiian males lack the dense brushes of setae on article 2 of gnathopod 1 seen in mainland juvenile males.

DISTRIBUTION.—Cold and warm-temperate Pacific America and the Hawaiian Islands.

DIAGNOSIS.—Article 3 of antenna 1 as long as article 1, accessory flagellum short, 2-articulate; head elongate and deeply recessed ventrally for attachment of antenna 2; article 3 of mandibular palp stout, clavate; inner plate of maxilla 1 with medial setae; male gnathopod 1 like that of Microdeutopus Costa, with elongate article 5 bearing short posterodistal tooth, article 6 shorter and more slender than article 5, nearly simple; gnadiopod 2 much smaller than gnathopod 1, weakly subchelate, article 5 longer than 6 and scarcely setose anteriorly; coxae touching or overlapping serially; rami of uropod 3 only slightly longer than peduncle, outer with small barrel-shaped article 2; telson broader man long, posteroventrally pointed, scarcely excavate dorsally; male pereonite 1 and coxa 1 becoming extremely elongate anteroposteriorly in terminal stage.

TYPE-SPECIES.—Konatopus paao, new species.

RELATIONSHIP.—The species on which this genus is based might fit either Neomegamphopus Shoemaker (1942) or Amphideutopus J. L. Barnard (1959) if those monotypic genera were broadened for its inclusion, but in so doing one would have to join together the two monotypic genera with the species at hand as a third species. Konatopus paao clearly stands between the other two genera by sharing characters of both and may stand somewhere on the evolutionary pathway. One might visualize Neomegamphopus coming to Hawaii from the warm-temperate of North America, eventually differentiating and returning to North America as an organism something like Konatopus that later differentiated into Amphideutopus. The converse pathway is perhaps even more probable. Konatopus has a strongly enlarged coxa 1 in terminal males, a character of rudimentary development in Neomegamphopus and not occurring in Amphideutopus. Konatopus has the short uropod 3 of Neomegamphopus, but male gnathopod 1 is of the short simplified kind seen in Amphideutopus. In fact, gnathopod 1 of Konatopus has exceeded both of the other genera in the obsolescence of the tooth on article 5 while developing a palmar protrusion on article 6. Neomegamphopus has gnathopod 2 nearly simple in males and females, and gnadiopod 1 in the female is very weak, whereas Konatopus has a stronger gnathopod 2 in males and females, while Amphideutopus has a large stout gnadiopod 2 in males, with articles 5 and 6 equal in length and strongly setose.

FIGURE 33.—Aoroides nahili, new species, male, 2.2 mm, JLB Hawaii 17: a, head; b, mandibular palp; c, apex of medial gnathopod 2; d, lateral gnathopod 1; e, f, apex of maxillipedal palp; g, maxilla 2, setae marked with pits; h, inner plate of maxilliped, setae marked with pits; i, gnathopod 2. Female, 2.0 mm: j, k, apices of gnathopods 2 and 1.

The three genera form a group of aorids distinguished from Microdeutopus and most other aorids by the deeply recessed ventral cephalic margin and the medial placement of maxillary setae on the inner plate plus the clavate stout mandibular palp article 3 and elongate maxillipedal palp with clavate article 4. The geographic “triangulation” of the three genera suggests the extremity of their characteristics is of only specific value, but in the sense of aorid classification as it now stands the characters mark good genera.

Shoemaker has already pointed out how these characters as seen in Neomegamphopus are uncharacteristic of aorids and recall characters of certain genera of isaeids. One might suggest that a megamphopal isaeid has undergone axial reversal of gnathopods parallel to those of normal aorids derived from nonmegamphopal isaeids.

The elongate article 1 of the mandibular palp distinguishes Grandidierella Coutière from Microdeutopus, Neomicrodeutopus, and Konatopus.

Not Lembos (Bemlos) aequimanus.—J. L. Barnard, 1955a, p. 34.

DIAGNOSIS OF FEMALE.—Lateral lobes of head strongly extended forward but narrow and mamilliform, anteroventral cephalic excavation weakly concave, anteroventral corner quadrate, scarcely extended; eyes circular, purple cores surrounded by half row of clear ommatidia; inner plate of maxilliped with normal terminal spines; gnathopod 1 narrow, especially elongate, rectangular article 6 with oblique, excavate palm bearing weak distal protrusion and strong defining cusp armed with spine, appendage weakly setose for Lembos, article 2 with strong, sharp anterodistal cusp; gnathopod 2 like that figured for male L. pualani, article 2 lacking anterodistal process, palm very oblique, setation moderate; pleonal epimera 1–3 with bulging posterior margins, all with lateral ridge, slight notch and tooth at posteroventral corner, ventral setae absent; uropod 3 with very short peduncle and long rami as figured for L. kamanu, inner ramus twice as long as peduncle and longer than outer ramus, latter with small article 2 present.

DESCRIPTION.—Antennae and pereopods 3–5 missing; epistome rounded anteriorly; mouthparts generally like those for L. leapakahi, new species, but left mandibular molar lacking “shark-tooth”; urosome and uropods appearing similar to those of L. leapakahi, but spines thinner, peduncle of uropod 1 with basolateral spine and distolateral seta but not lateral setae; peduncular tooth between rami of uropod 1 shorter than in other species of Hawaiian Lembos and tooth of uropod 2 obsolescent; telson large, strongly elevated, moderately excavate dorsally, with small pair of distolateral nobs, deep slit from lateral view and pair of long dorsal setae (appearance like that figured for L. kamanu). Urosomites as figured for L. pualani (see figure group for L. macromanus).

MATERIAL.—JLB Hawaii 17 (1).

REMARKS.—My former identification of this species (1955a) from Hawaii was erroneous and that material is referred to L. pualani, new species, based now on fully adult specimens. The female at hand has gnathopod 1 like that figured by Schellenberg; its configuration is unusual for the genus in the presence of an excavation and weak distal protuberance. The species is clearly distinct from all other Hawaiian members of the genus but many characters cannot be compared with Schellenberg’s Gilbertian-Fijian species as the material at hand has no antennae or pereopods 3–5 and Schellenberg made no notes on the unique character of uropods 1–2 as described herein.

Lembos intermedius Schellenberg

FIGURE 37

Lembos intermedius Schellenberg, 1938, pp. 77–78, fig. 40.—J. L. Barnard, 1955a, p. 34.

DIAGNOSIS OF MALE.—Lateral cephalic lobes strongly extended forward and truncate, anteroventral margin of head excavate, nearly flat-bottomed, then produced to weak, obtuse anteroventral cusp; eyes subcircular, brownish purple cores in alcohol surrounded by 1–2 layers of clear ommatidia; coxa 1 short and broad, rectotrapezoidal, with slight extension and almost sharp anteroventral corner; gnathopod 1 of medium to strong enlargement, article 2 of normal stoutness, anterodistal corner with strong, thin mammilliform lobe, article 4 with distal point not free, article 5 of medium breadth, less man half as long as article 6, latter expanded, bulging anteriorly, moderately setose medially, palm very oblique, bearing deep incision separating 2 processes, unarmed defining process short, thus making palm oblique, dactyl slender and scarcely overlapping palm; article 2 of gnathopod 2 with large anterodistal lobe similar to that of gnathopod 1, remainder of appendage like figure of L. pualani, article 4 with distal point not free, articles 5 and 6 equal to each other in length, palm nearly transverse, defined by spine and slight protuberance, setation dense; thoracic sternites 2–5 each with low, broad, obtusely bifid ventral tooth, sternite 1 with single obtuse tooth, sternite 6 with small single cusp; pleonal epimera 1–3 with bulging posterior margins, weak lateral ridges and slight notch and tooth at posteroventral corners; ventral setae absent or epimeron 2 with 1 seta; uropod 3 much smaller than in other Hawaiian species of Lembos, with extension on outer ramus appearing like that of a second article but apparently coalesced with and as broad as article 1, peduncle with large spine.

FEMALE.—Coxa 1 slightly longer and less pointed anteroventrally than in male; gnathopod 1 of normal kind in Lembos, anterodistal corner of article 2 lacking process, otherwise like that of L. pualani, but palm slightly more transverse and dactyl slightly shorter; article 2 of gnathopod 2 with anteroventral corner sharply quadrate, not lobate; sternites unkeeled; pleonal epimeron 2 with several midventral setae and one posterior seta besides normal setule in posteroventral notch, setae absent in smallest juveniles.

DESCRIPTION.—Antenna 1 at least as long as head and pereon together (thereafter broken off in all specimens), antenna 2 much shorter and stouter than in L. waipio, new species, but similar to L. pualani, new species; epistome slightly rounded anteriorly, remainder of mouthparts like those of L. leapakahi, new species, but shark-tooth of left mandibular molar weakly developed; article 2 of pereopod 3 with small posteroproximal extension, pereopods 4–5 missing on all material; urosome and uropods 1–2 appearing similar to figure of L. leapakahi, but uropod 3 small, spines thinner, but peduncle of uropod 1 bearing basolateral spine and distolateral setae, no basolateral setae on uropods 1–2, both with long tooth between rami, peduncle of uropod 3 with 2 basolateral setae; telson especially large, not strongly elevated, scarcely excavate dorsally, with pair of posterolateral nobs forming slit from lateral view.

COLOR IN ALCOHOL.—Posterior part of head, anterior part of pereonite 1, and posterior part of pereonite 6 deeply purple-brown.

MATERIAL.—JLB Hawaii 10 (5), 12 (4), 13 (13), 15 (9).

REMARKS.—The male is characterized by die bidentate sternal teeth, not described by Schellenberg; by the oblique palm of gnathopod 1 with scarcely overlapping dactyl; by the small uropod 3 lacking a second article on the outer ramus and is recognizable by the color pattern.

J. L. Barnard (1965a) suggested that L. intermedius might be synonymous with L. processifer (Pirlot, 1938) (not J. L. Barnard, 1965a), but L. intermedius is now shown to be clearly distinct The bifid sternal teeth of die male are a major difference, but the heavy medioterminal setation on male gnathopod 1 article 6 is also noticeable. Male and female gnathopod 2 of L. intermedius are much smaller, thinner, and more densely setose than in L. processifer, antenna 2 is thinner, article 2 of pereopods 3–5 has a sharp posteroproximal extension, and the eyes are dark. The identification of Indonesian L. processifer by J. L. Barnard (1965a) is erroneous and probably should be associated as a subspecies with L. waipio, new species, from Hawaii.

Coxa 1 of male L. intermedius is neither as sharp nor bears as elongate setae as represented by Schellenberg (1938), but no other species at hand fits L. intermedius as well as this one.

DESCRIPTION.—Antenna 1 as long as head and first 7 body segments, antenna 2 as long as head and first 5 body segments, flagellum of antenna 2 with 4 articles and shorter than article 5 of peduncle, accessory flagellum with 4 articles; epistome rounded anteriorly; mouthparts except inner plate of maxilliped generally like those of L. leapakahi, new species, including presence of “shark-tooth” on left mandibular molar; urosome and uropods appearing similar to those of L. leapakahi but spines thinner, peduncle of uropod 1 with basolateral spine and distolateral seta but no lateral setae; telson large, strongly elevated, weakly excavate dorsally, with small pair of distolateral nobs, deep slit from lateral view and pair of long dorsal setae. Urosomite 3 very deeply depressed in relationship to urosomite 2 and unique for Hawaiian species of Lembos; urosomite 2 with long dorsal surface as in L. pualani but in contrast to L. macromanus.

COLOR IN ALCOHOL.—Ground color of body white and weakly spotted with faint brownish-purple dots.

HOLOTYPE.—Bishop Museum collections catalog number 7260, female, 3.6 mm. Unique.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—JLB Hawaii 15, 1 mi N of Kualoa Point, Oahu, intertidal, coral block with ascidians, 23 May 1967.

RELATIONSHIP.—As known in the female stage only, this species is impossible yet to relate to extrinsic members of Lembos, but in the Hawaiian fauna it stands out as a sibling of L. pualani in which gnathopod 1 has a weakly scalloped palm, urosomite 3 strongly drops below the dorsal line of urosomite 2, the main spines on the inner plate of the maxilliped are elephantine, the rami of uropod 3 are slightly longer, and the anteroventral cephalic tooth is thicker.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

Lembos macromanus.—J. L. Barnard, 1962a, p. 9, fig. 3.

DIAGNOSIS OF MALE.—Lateral lobes of head strongly extended forward and truncate, anteroventral margin of head excavate, nearly flat-bottomed, then produced to medium-sized anteroventral cusp; eyes subcircular, brownish-purple cores in alcohol, surrounded by 1–2 layers of clear ommatidia; coxa 1 quadratiform, anteroventral corner softly quadrate; gnathopod 1 very large, article 2 stout, anterodistal corner produced downward conically, article 4 with distal point not free, article 5 broad and short, article 6 very broad, rectangular, anterior margin bulging, poorly setose, palm transverse, bearing deep incision separating 2 processes, defining process slender and unarmed, main process rounded or mammilliform, in terminal stage marked with basal suture, dactyl slender and slightly overlapping palm in terminal stage, more so in medium age male; article 2 of gnathopod 2 with weak anterodistal cusp, article 4 with distal point not free, article 5 much longer than 6, densely setose medially and anteriorly, palm oblique but short, defined by spine and slight protuberance, setation dense; thoracic sternites with short sharp tooth on segments 2–3, small nipple on 1; pleonal epimera 1–3 with bulging posterior margins, lateral ridges and notch and tooth at posteroventral corners, ventral setate absent; uropod 3 with article 2 on outer ramus and latter shorter than inner ramus, peduncle with large spines.

FEMALE.—Gnathopod 1 of normal female kind in Lembos, but especially tumid in terminal stage, article 5 about two-thirds as long as 6; article 2 of gnathopod 2 lacking anterodistal lobe and article 5 not strongly setose anteriorly; sternal keel absent.

DESCRIPTION.—Antenna 1 nearly as long as head and body together, antenna 2 much shorter; epistome flat in front, remainder of mouthparts like those of L. leapakahi, new species, including left mandibular molar “shark-tooth”; article 2 of pereopods 4–5 especially setose; urosome and uropods appearing similar to figures for L. leapakahi, but spines thinner and peduncles of uropods 1–2 lacking small basolateral setae, uropods 1–2 with long peduncular tooth between rami and distolateral peduncle of uropod 1 with 1 seta, no distal spine and 1 basolateral spine, peduncle of uropod 3 with 2 basomedial setae; telson large but not strongly elevated, with weak pair of posterolateral nobs forming slit from lateral view.

COLOR IN ALCOHOL.—Body background pale buff with numerous splotches and spots of brown, eyes caramel brown, especially bright.

MATERIAL.—JLB Hawaii 2 (2), 8 (1), 11 (28), 12 (1), 13 (6), 15 (7), Oahu, Coconut Island, 7 September 1959, species 24, collector, H. Caspers (4).

REMARKS.—In Hawaii this species compares very strongly with the fine original figures of Shoemaker except that the male sternal teeth are smaller. The slightly darker body background color in alcohol with more numerous and larger body blotches and spots helps one in separating females and juveniles from those of other species all having a pure white body background with or without spots. The pale fawn-colored pigment on pereonites 2–6 of L. waipio is a strong contrast to the dark appearance of L. macromanus, and male L. waipio has 3 sternal teeth. Lembos pualani differs from both L. macromanus and L. waipio in the relatively smooth dorsal margin of the urosome and relatively long dorsal margin of urosomite 2; the stairstep appearance of the urosome in L. macromanus and L. waipio is easy to see under low-power magnification.

Uropod 3 and the telson are especially setose in terminal stages of L. macromanus, the telson bearing 4 dorsal setae in a row on each side but several other Hawaiian species have at least 3 setae in each row; the apex of the outer ramus on uropod 3 is densely setose but only relatively more so than in two other Hawaiian species; the dense setae on article 2 of pereopods 4–5 are only slightly more abundant than those found in the terminal stage of L. pualani.

DISTRIBUTION.—Warm-temperate Pacific America, Hawaiian Islands, and reported from the Philippine Islands.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—JLB Hawaii 14, 1 mi N of Kualoa Point, Oahu, intertidal, algae, dead coral heads, 23 May 1967.

MATERIAL.—JLB Hawaii 12 (17), 13 (24), 14 (7), 15 (17), 17 (7).

RELATIONSHIP.—This species differs from L. waipio, new species, in coxa 1, the more strongly setose gnathopods of both sexes, the stouter male gnathopod 1 with shorter article 5, stouter female gnathopod 1, palm of gnathopod 2 in both sexes shorter relative to posterior margin of hand, rami of uropod 3 shorter and equal in length to each other, article 2 of pereopod 5 slightly spinier, article 6 with spines proximal to locking pair, antenna 2 slightly stouter, mandibular molar lacking shark tooth, and the absence of a spiniform sternal keel on the male.

Lembos pualani differs from the Gilbertian-Fijian L. aequimanus Schellenberg (1938) in the unmodified palm of female gnathopod 2, the highly modified male coxa 1, the complete absence of male sternal teeth, and the elongate article 5 on gnathopod 1 of the female.

The Hawaiian species appears most closely related to but differs from Californian “Lembos concavus Stout” (J. L. Barnard, 1962a) by the weakness of anterior setation on article 6 of gnathopod 1 and article 5 of gnathopod 2 in males and the more highly modified coxa 1.

American L. macromanus (Shoemaker, 1925) differs from L. pualani in the strongly setose article 2 of pereopods 4–5, the presence of sternal teeth in the male, the weak anterodistal lobe on article 2 of male gnathopod 2, the much stouter male gnathopod 1 with short article 5, and the weakly overlapping dactyl.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

Female, 4.2 mm: j, lateral pereopod 3; k, coxa 1; l, side of telson; m, apex of medial gnathopod 1.

FEMALE.—Gnathopod 1 of normal female kind in Lembos, article 5 nearly as long as 6; gnathopod 2 article 2 lacking anterodistal lobe or that lobe obsolescent; sternal keel absent.

DESCRIPTION.—Antenna 1 as long as head and body together, antenna 2 much shorter; epistome flat in front, remainder of mouthparts like those of L. leapakahi, new species, including left mandibular molar “shark-tooth”; article 2 of pereopods 3–5 with small posteroproximal extension; urosome and uropods appearing similar to figures for L. leapakahi, but spines thinner and peduncles of uropods 1–2 lacking small basolateral setae, uropods 1–2 with long peduncular tooth between rami, and distolateral peduncle of uropod 1 with 1 seta, no spine, and 1 basolateral spine, peduncle of uropod 3 with 1 basolateral seta; telson large but not strongly elevated, with weak pair of posterolateral nobs, with lateral slit only in terminal stages.

COLOR IN ALCOHOL.—Body white except for weak brown dorsal stripes on pereonites 3–6 or 3–5, eyes brown.

HOLOTYPE.—Bishop Museum collections, catalog number 7263, male, 6.1 mm.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—JLB Hawaii 6, off Barbers Point, Oahu, 30 m, “coralline footballs,” 29 January 1967.

MATERIAL.—JLB Hawaii 3 (10), 5 (1), 6 (14), 14 (2).

RELATIONSHIP.—This species differs from L. intermedius Schellenberg (1938) in the strongly overlapping dactyl on male gnathopod 1, the rounded, asetose anteroventral corner of coxa 1, and the presence of simple instead of bidentate sternal teeth on the male.

It differs from L. aequimanus Schellenberg (1938) in the presence of sternal teeth on more than one segment in the male, in the rounded palm of female gnathopod 1, the obtuse anteroventral comer of coxa 1, and the stouter hands of the gnathopods in both sexes.

Lembos waipio differs from American L. macromanus (Shoemaker, 1925) in the longer dactyl of male gnathopod 1 and the presence of the posterior spine on the hand, the stouter, shorter, less setose gnathopod 2, the sparseness of setae on article 2 of pereopods 4–5, the thinner female gnathopod 1, and the presence of more than 2 sternal teeth on the male.

The Hawaiian species differs from Indonesian L. processifer (Pirlot, 1938) in the strongly overlapping dactyl on male gnathopod 1, the thinner peduncle of antenna 2, the presence of 3 strong sternal teeth in the male (instead of 2), the dark eyes, slender article 2 of gnathopod 2 lacking a strong anterolateral excavation, the thinner articles 5–6 of gnathopod 2 in both sexes, the small female gnathopod 1, and the lack of a strong anterodistal cusp on article 2 of female gnathopod 1.

J. L. Barnard (1965a) identified L. processifer from Micronesia, but that identification may now be seen to be erroneous and the Micronesian specimens should be associated with L. waipio, perhaps as a subspecies distinguished by the presence of only 2 sternal processes on the male and a smaller cusp on article 2 of male gnathopod 2. My 1965a identification was supported by a supposition that young males of Lembos might have dactyls fitting palms whereas terminal males might have dactyls overlapping palms but that circumstance does not justify the Micronesian identification of L. processifer in light of the high diversity of species in Hawaii that suggests other parts of the tropics may also have a higher than now expected diversity in this genus. There seems to be little doubt now that Pirlot’s and J. L. Barnard’s materials were both comprised of terminal males.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

HOLOTYPE.—Bishop Museum collections, catalog number 7264, male, 4.7 mm.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—Makapuu Point, Oahu, April 1967, on Zoanthus, collector, Dr. Jerry Welch.

MATERIAL.—The type-locality and JLB Hawaii 18 (2).

RELATIONSHIP.—This species differs in numerous points from the type-species of the genus, N. cabindae Schellenberg (1925), from west Africa and may not be phyletically connected to that genus, but several points about both cannot be compared owing to missing parts on N. makena and descriptive omissions on N. cabindae. The antennae of N. makena are missing, and we do not know the state of articles 1–3 and the accessory flagellum; in N. cabindae the accessory flagellum is vestigial and 1-articulate and article 3 of antenna 1 is half as long as the interequal articles 1–2; antennae 1–2 are subequal in length to each other. The extent of ventral cephalic recession for the attachment of antenna 2 is unknown in N. cabindae and may be a significant generic character.

Neomicrodeutopus (?) makena differs from N. cabindae in the stout mandibular palp with equal articles 2–3, the slender gnathopod 2, the narrow article 2 of pereopods 3–5, the configuration of pleonal epimera and their nakedness, the short dactyl of gnathopod 1, and the short ramus of uropod 3, bearing 2 articles.

Neomicrodeutopus elongata (Chevreux), formerly in the genus Grandidierella Coutière but shifted to Neomicrodeutopus by Schellenberg (1938), differs from N. makena in the narrower ocular lobe, the very weak, nearly naked mandibular palp, and elongate ramus on uropod 3; again, there may be generic differences not now known. The condition of the mandibular palp in both of the Atlantic species is strong indication of that proposition.

If this is a genus distinct from Neomicrodeutopus, it does appear simply to be a species of Microdeutopus without inner ramus on uropod 3 rather than having gone through an intermediate stage such as that represented by Acuminodeutopus J. L. Barnard that has a shortened inner ramus on uropod 3. Neomicrodeutopus makena does not appear to have any direct relationship to Acuminodeutopus.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

Family ATYLIDAE¹¹

Atylus Leach

Kamehatylus, new subgenus

DIAGNOSIS.—Atylus with small atylid rostrum and dorsal sculpture of A. levidensus J. L. Barnard (1956); all segments of urosome coalesced; mandibular molar triturative but palp absent; accessory flagellum vestigial; lower lip lacking inner lobes; inner plate of maxilla 1 with 2 terminal setae and no apical cusp, outer plate normally spinose, palp 2-articulate; maxilla 2 normal; maxilliped normal; gnathopods small but subchelate and atylid; pereopods simple; anterior coxae intersimilar in length and surface area, none grossly enlarged; uropods normal, uropod 3 with short peduncle, rami of medium elongation; telson of medium length and deeply cleft.

TYPE-SPECIES.—Kamehatylus nani, new species.

RELATIONSHIP.—The breadth of the diagnosis reflects the problem that Kamehatylus is, by definition, a member of the family Dexaminidae. The loss of the mandibular palp is the major distinction between atylids and dexaminids. There seems to be little point in maintaining a distinction between these families except at the subfamilial level, for Kamehatylus is not the only genus to bridge the familial concepts. Anatylus Bulycheva (Anatylidae, later Anatylinae in the Dexaminidae) and Atylus japonicus Nagata (1961a) also form intergrades, the former having a nontriturative mandibular molar and the latter possibly having lost the mandibular palps like Kamehatylus.

One might presume from the congruity of appearance that Kamehatylus nani is a descendent-of either, or is a member of a species complex including the Japanese Atylus japonicus and the Oregonian A. levidensus J. L. Barnard (1956). The latter has mandibular palps, whereas Nagata notes “broken” palps of A. japonicus; they are a closely interrelated group that may also include A. collingi Gurjanova (see 1951).

Kamehatylus nani appears to be more closely related to A. japonicus than to the other species in the fact that fewer gross differences occur between those two species than among the others. If A. japonicus has indeed lost the mandibular palps then the sequence seems eminently clear, for K. nani differs only in these other characters: (1) the short peduncle of antenna 1; (2) the loss of one seta and the apical cusp on the inner plate of maxilla 1 (A. japonicus has 3 setae and a cusp); (3) the short telson; (4) the development of 2 lateral spines on the urosome (like many dexaminids); and (5) the complete coalescence of all urosomites (in all other atylids and dexaminids only urosomites 2–3 are coalesced). Kamehatylus nani also resembles A. japonicus in the tapering coxa 1 but also differs in a slightly smaller rostrum.

Kamehatylus nani differs from A. levidensus in characters 2–5 but differs in addition by: (6) the slightly more elongate article 3 of antenna 1; (7) the slightly shorter article 4 of antenna 2; (8) the apical tapering of coxa 1; (9) the slight elongation and narrowing of article 2 on pereopods 3–5; (10) the loss of a small cusp on article 2 of pereopod 5; (11) the loss of a conical protuberance on coxa 3. Thus, the connections between A. levidensus and the other two species are more remote than between A. japonicus and K. nani. A logical progression of events would be the occurrence of a common ancestor to A. japonicus and A. levidensus with K. nani descending from A. japonicus. Neither A. japonicus nor A. levidensus could be the precursor to the other, but A. levidensus could be a remote ancestor of K. nani (but not vice versa.)

Atylus japonicus has one character of complete divergence, the elongate peduncle of antenna 1 that is reflected weakly in the slightly elongate article 3 on K. nani, but the latter otherwise has a short peduncle. Gnathopods of A. japonicus also are more slender than in the other two species, and this damages the concept of a direct progression between A. japonicus and K. nani.

COLOR IN 2-DAY FORMALDEHYDE.—Body mottled with orange, rust, and ochre on a buff-yellow background, eyes red.

HOLOTYPE.—Bishop Museum collections, catalog number 7265, female, 2.8 mm. Unique.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—JLB Hawaii 17, Kawela Bay, Oahu, intertidal, Sargassum, algae, rocks, corals, 24 May 1967.

REMARKS.—This species has undergone changes analogous to those seen in Micronesian Beaudettia palmeri J. L. Barnard (1965a) that also represents a case of radical change in characters of familial importance. Those characters therefore lose such value by themselves in a typological framework, but the cases are of considerable interest in viewing the incipience of changes mat in other phyletic lines have resulted in presumably old, diversified, and genetically remote complexes. Beaudettia palmeri is believed to be a relatively direct descendent of a species of Elasmopus in which the mandibular palp has been lost and various changes in uropod 3 and the telson have occurred. The two cases demonstrate a thesis that certain changes occurring in the evolution of Amphipoda do not necessarily involve a slow transformation from one state to another; thus a mandibular palp may either be present (and 3-articulate) or absent, and a telson either deeply cleft or entire. In some families (Stenothoidae) the mandibular palp may be lost in stages, one article at a time, but Beaudettia and Kamehatylus seem to demonstrate that a radical loss also occurs. That such species are not simply blind alleys of evolution appears to be supported by a diverse occurrence of dexaminids that are simply atylids without mandibular palp, which then have become partially adapted to an inquilinous life. The bright colors of Kamehatylus, that blend together as a camouflage resembling the background color of Sargassum, suggest that the Hawaiian subgenus, like its atylid precursors, is living freely rather than in an inquilinous niche.

FIGURE 50

DIAGNOSIS OF MALE.—Epistome bluntly conical, head with large conical anterior keel between antennae as seen from ventral view; eyes medium in size, red in formaldehyde, and clear or slightly pink-rust in alcohol; lateral cephalic, lobe rounded; antenna 1 weakly spinose and cuspidate, flagellum with 4 articles, latter 2 articles vestigial, antenna 2 with medial spines on articles 3–4 of peduncle, flagellum 4-articulate; mandibular spine row simple and normal, molar typical of C. pusilla, maxilla 1 similar to that of C. subcastellata Hurley, maxilla 2 strongly bilobate; inner plates of maxilliped split deeply, remainder of maxilliped like that of C. lunalilo, new species; coxae simple, ovatorectangular, lacking points; gnathopod 1 normal, with article 5 slightly longer than 6, but article 2 strongly swollen anterodistally; article 2 of gnathopod 2 with small anteroventral hump, article 5 with narrow, setose posterior lobe, setae simple, article 6 very elongate, palm occupying entire posterior margin of article 6, dactyl overlapping palm and reaching back to proximal margin of lobe on article 5, palm with hump near dactylar hinge, deep excavation and large conical cusp, then long flat margin defined proximally by small cusp, dactyl simple; pereopods 1–5 normal, each bearing one locking spine on article 6; pleonal epimera 1–3 broadly rounded ventrally and posteroventrally; uropods 1–3 extending subequally, outer ramus of uropod 1 slightly shorter than inner ramus, outer ramus of uropod 2 about two-thirds as long as inner ramus, and outer ramus of uropod 3 about three-fourths as long as inner ramus; telson unequally trilobate apically, of medium length.

JUVENILE MALE.—Article 6 of gnathopod 2 with short dactyl fitting palm and weak defining cusp, palmar process near dactylar hinge quadrate, undivided; some setae of lobe on article 5 suddenly narrowed in middle like setae shown by Hurley (1954b). Female unknown.

HOLOTYPE.—Bishop Museum collections, catalog number 7267, male, 1.3 mm.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—JLB Hawaii 5, off Ewa Beach, Oahu, 30 m, Pocillopora, 29 January 1967.

MATERIAL.—JLB Hawaii 5 (1), 6 (1), 10 (2).

RELATIONSHIP.—According to Hurley’s (1954b) key to the species of this genus, C. kapiolani has its closest affinities with C. fissilingua Schellenberg (1926) (K. H. Barnard, 1932), but the latter differs from C. kapiolani in the equal trilobation of the telson, the anteriorly pointed coxae 1, 3, 4, and 5, the posteriorly pointed coxae 6–7, the equal rami of uropod 1, and the extremely thin article 2 of pereopods 3–5.

Colomastix subcastellata Hurley (1954b), from New Zealand, also closely resembles C. kapiolani, but has lateral scallops on the telson, a smaller hump on article 2 of gnathopod 1, and equal rami of uropod 1. These differences may be of subspecific value only.

Colomastix castellata K. H. Barnard (1932) has a multicastellate telson and equal rami on uropods 1 and 2.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—JLB Hawaii 13, Kaneohe Bay, Oahu, 3–4 m, corals, algae, corallines, 8 April 1967.

MATERIAL.—Three specimens from the type-locality.

RELATIONSHIP.—Colomastix brazieri Haswell (1880) from east Australia and C. magnirama Hurley (1954b) are the only other members of the genus with a strongly reduced outer ramus on uropod 3. Pereopods 1–2 of C. magnirama have a large cusp on article 5, complex mandibular spines, a much shorter outer ramus of uropod 3 than seen on C. lunalilo, a broader telson, unequal rami of uropod 1 in both sexes, a shorter article 5 and narrower lobe on gnathopod 2, and no points on the coxae.

Colomastix brazieri has article 5 of gnathopod 1 much longer than article 6, an outer ramus of uropod 3 half as long as the inner ramus and a shorter article 5 and narrower lobe of gnathopod 2 than in C. lunalilo. The latter appears to be closer to C. brazieri than to any other species, but C. brazieri needs further elucidation.

Colomaxtix pusilla Grube, a cosmopolitan sympatriot of C. lunalilo in Hawaii, differs from the latter in its red eyes changing to colorless in alcohol, in the absence of sharp and narrow nipple-like points on the coxae, the shorter telson, the blunter epistome, the shorter gnathopod 1, and in males a distinctly different gnathopod 1 than occurs in female C. pusilla and males of C. lunalilo. The rami of uropod 3 in C. pusilla are equal to each other in length.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

Colomastix species

MATERIAL.—JLB Hawaii 6(1).

REMARKS.—This undissected individual, with gnathopod 2 in juvenile condition, is distinguished from other Hawaiian species in (1) the presence of only 1 apically hooked setal spine on the apex of gnathopod 1; (2) the absence of a hump on article 2 of gnathopod 1; (3) uropod 1 is shortened, the inner ramus reaching only to the middle of the rami of uropod 2 and the outer ramus being about two thirds as long as the inner ramus; (4) the rami of uropod 2 extend equally; (5) the outer ramus of uropod 3 is about three fourths to four fifths as long as the inner ramus; (6) the telson appears simple (not adequately seen); (7) pereopods 1–5 lack a locking spine; (8) the eye has 9 ommatidia but 3 of the middle ones are extremely tiny.

The individual fits C. pusilla more closely than it does the other Hawaiian species but differs in the unequal rami of uropods 1 and 3. The unusual condition of gnathopod 1 may represent a stage of transformation from the normal setal brush to the advanced male stage like that of C. pusilla in which a distinct, stubby dactyl occurs on a shortened gnathopod 1.

?Corophium baconi Shoemaker, 1934, pp. 356–359, fig. 1; 1949, p. 82, fig. 5g, h.

MATERIAL.—JLB Hawaii 11 (4).

REMARKS.—No adult male is available but female characters match those of C. baconi, the only Pacific species of the genus in which the segments of the urosome are coalesced and formed into a shallow cup-like plate with upturned rims bearing a slit to mark the junction between urosomites 1 and 2, with uropods 1–2 attached ventrally rather than in lateral notches. Dactyls of gnathopods 1–2 have only 1 and 2 inner teeth.

Young females and the ovigerous female have a spine-seta pattern on the urosome similar to that shown by Shoemaker (1934), but the spines are very stout in Hawaiian specimens. Antenna 2 of the large female has an extra proximal ventral spine on article 4 adjacent to the normal spine, for a total of 4 spines instead of 3 in normal individuals. The short article 5 of pereopods 1-2 and the elongate posteriorly straight and poorly armed article 6 of gnathopod 2 are illustrated.

DISTRIBUTION.—Bering Sea to Peru.

Corophium insidiosum Crawford

FIGURE 54

Corophium insidiosum Crawford, 1937, p. 615, fig. 2a–g.—Shoemaker, 1947, p. 53, figs. 6, 7.

MATERIAL.—Hilo, Hawaii, 20 June 1959, Clunio-Polster, collector H. Caspers (70+).

Besides the normal male and female phenotypes at least a dozen other phenotypes are present in a single collection of this species from Hilo. The normal male antenna 2 (Figure 54c) lacks large ventral spines on articles 4 and 5, but males occur with a single proximoventral spine on article 4 and none on article 5 or with a pair of midventral spines on article 4 and one ventral spine on article 5. The medioproximal margin of article 1 of antenna 1 (from dorsal view) typically would have 2–3 spines, but males in the Hilo collection have either 2, 1, or no spines, occasionally one of the spines being extremely and abnormally proximal. Females also have these kinds of antenna 1 except that they occasionally have 3 of those spines, one of which is extremely proximal. The ventral margin of article 1 of antenna 1 typically would have 2 ventral and 1 ventrodistal spines and this is typical for Hilo females, but males often lack the 2 ventral spines. Individuals often have one formula on the left antennae and another formula on the right antennae.

Female antenna 2 is often typical (Figure 54e), but frequently either right or left antennae 2 of adult ovigerous females look like those of males with the large and small distal cusps in place of a single spine. The ventral surface of article 4 may carry 3 single spines, 2 single spines, or 2 pairs of spines. Female antennae 2 without the male configuration may also vary, sometimes having a single ventral spine, sometimes 2, occasionally 3, but usually having the normal 2 pairs and a single.

FIGURE 54.—Corophium insidiosum Crawford, Hilo. Antenna 2: o, abnormal female; b, abnormal female; c, normal male; d, abnormal male; e, normal female; f, abnormal female. Antenna 1: g, male and female lateral; h, male dorsal; i, male lateral; j, female, dotted spine infrequent, male occasionally with only 1 spine.

Some of the female aberrancies equivocate the conditions typical of Corophium uenoi, from Japan and California, in which female antenna 2 has spines occurring only singly instead of in pairs. Nevertheless, I identify these specimens widi C. insidiosum. Apparently, C. insidiosum, a widely distributed and transported species, has become highly variable in the Hawaiian Islands, typical of other species having reached island niches or special environments. Another example is the masculine females of Gammaropsis in Micronesia (J. L. Barnard, 1965a).

DISTRIBUTION.—Cosmopolitan, especially in harbors.

Family DEXAMINIDAE

Paradexamine Stebbing

Wailele, new subgenus

DIAGNOSIS.—Antenna 1 much longer than antenna 2; mandibles with spine row and lacinia mobilis on both sides, molar triturative; lower lip with well-developed separate inner lobes and strong mandibular processes on outer lobes; inner plate of maxilla 1 naked, short, palp 1-articulate and short, only reaching halfway along outer plate, bearing 1 long apical seta; outer plate of maxilla 2 much longer than inner plate, latter with 2 apical setae; maxillipedal palp 4-articulate, not exceeding outer plate, article 4 not unguiform, instead short, stout, and bearing 2 apical setae, inner plates obsolescent, scarcely evident, outer plates very large and spinose; gnathopods with article 5 shorter than article 6 and cupshaped, palms transverse; pereopods with long dactyls but not subchelate; coxa 5 with surface area greater but plate not longer than anterior coxae; telson cleft to base.

TYPE-SPECIES.—Paradexamine (Wailele) maunaloa.

RELATIONSHIP.—Paradexamine (Wailele) maunaloa has been compared with 7 species of Paradexamine studied in Australian and New Zealandian collections (paper in preparation). The variability in mouthparts is higher than previously elucidated in this genus and suggests that Dexaminoides Spandl is a synonym of Paradexamine. The Micronesian identification of Dexaminoides orientalis Spandl by J. L. Barnard (1965a) apparently represents a distinct, new species of Paradexamine and to some extent connects the Hawaiian Paradexamine to the mainstream of the genus in Australia. Wailele is thus described as a subgenus of Paradexamine rather than being accorded full generic rank. Wailele differs from the type-species of Paradexamine and from most of the known species of that genus in the strong reduction of the palp on maxilla 1 and in the complete obsolescence of the inner plates of the maxilliped. The Micronesian Paradexamine (=Dexaminoides) lessens the categorical importance of the differences in Wailele because of the partial reduction of the inner plate of the maxilliped. A new species of Paradexamine from New Zealand (in press) also has a reduced inner plate of the maxilliped.

Wailele maunaloa, new species

FIGURES 55, 56

DIAGNOSIS.—With the characters of the genus.

DESCRIPTION.—Lateral cephalic lobe rounded, eye black-brown in formaldehyde and alcohol; article 1 of antenna 1 with anteroventral setose hump; distal spines on pereopods 1–5 blunt; article 2 of pereopod 3 with posteroventral lobe, absent on pereopods 4–5; article 2 of pereopod 5 broader than on pereopods 3–4, but pereopod 5 otherwise shorter than 4; pleonal epimera 1–2 with slight lateral ridges, posteroventral corners of all epimera sharply produced, least on epimeron 1, posterior edges raggedly and minutely serrate, most evenly on the epimeron 3; pleonites 1–4 with small sharp dorsal tooth, pleonites 3–4 with dorsolateral tooth also; rami of uropod 1 equal in length to each other, outer ramus of uropod 2 shorter than inner.

HOLOTYPE.—Bishop Museum collections, catalog number 7268, female, 1.7 mm.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—JLB Hawaii 15, 1 mi N of Kualoa Point, Oahu, intertidal, block of ascidians, 23 May 1967.

MATERIAL.—Five specimens from the type-locality.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

Family EOPHLIANTIDAE

Biancolina mauihina, new species

FIGURES 57, 58

DIAGNOSIS.—Eyes composed of about 14–18 ommatidia, red in formaldehyde, yellow or clear in alcohol; antenna 1 about as long as head and pereon together, flagellum with about 10 articles, antenna 2 short, flagellum and peduncle not readily distinct from one another, flagellum with about 3 articles; maxillipedal palp article 4 very short, hemispherical, bearing a large terminal spine, mediodistal end of article 2 obtusely conical, outer plate with 3 very stout apical spines, inner plate with 2 elongate spine-setae; pereopods 3–5 prehensile, article 6 strongly widened, bearing sinuous palm armed and lined with 1 curved striate spine, palm defined by minute spine and senile; outer rami of uropods 1–2 about 60 percent as long as inner rami, peduncles strongly setose; rami of uropod 3 relatively stout; telson short and apically notched.

HOLOTYPE.—Bishop Museum collections, catalog number 7269, ?sex, 1.8 mm.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—JLB Hawaii 17, Kawela Bay, Oahu, intertidal, Sargassum, other algae, rocks, corals, 24 May 1967.

SPECIMEN NO. 2.—In general agreement with the holotype but uropods 1–2 very distinct: uropod 1 with outer ramus grotesquely gnarled (perhaps from preservative) ventrally bearing a flat hyaline lobe adjacent to a long shovel-spine and apparently its distal half formed of a flat but sharp spine, thus outer ramus exceeding inner ramus; outer ramus of uropod 2 with long, hooked distal spine reaching almost to apex of inner ramus, latter with medium-sized spine and small spine. Fee 1 (1 individual, 1.6 mm long).

REMARKS.—The two specimens may belong to different species or may be the opposite sexes of a single species; I have not been able to determine sex in either specimen; neither specimen has brood lamellae; penial processes are not evident.

The holotype differs from B. australis Nicholls (1939) in the short outer rami of uropods 1–2, the stouter and shorter article 4 of the maxillipedal palp, the relatively longer antenna 1 and relatively thinner antenna 2, stouter rami of uropod 3, and the prehensile pereopods 3–5.

In the short outer rami of uropods 1–2 the holotype resembles B. algicola Delia Valle (1893, from the Mediterranean Sea) but differs in the prehensile pereopods 3-5 and in the distal notch on the telson.

Uropods 1–2 of specimen no. 2 are uniquely distinct. I have searched in vain for more individuals of this genus through thousands of intertidal amphipods.

Gnathopod 1 of B. mauihina has one giant midposterior seta and one medial seta on article 2. Gnathopod 2 lacks either seta.

NOTES ON HAWAIIAN MATERIAL.—Only Pirlot has adequately described his Indonesian material. Walker’s (1904) Ceylonese material and Seychellesian (1909) type were accompanied with a few notes and figures sufficient only to recognize this species grossly by the low number of serrations on epimeron 3 and the sabre-shaped, striate locking spine of pereopods 1–2.

The Hawaiian material differs from that of Pirlot in the stronger setation on mandibular palp article 3, the inner plate of maxilla 2, and the apex of the outer plate on the maxilliped. Palp article 2 on the maxilliped has a ventrally pointing linear crest produced apically as a subfalcate lobe not definitely shown on Pirlot’s drawing. Article 2 of pereopods 3–5 is slightly more slender but slightly more lobate posteroventrally than in Pirlot’s material.

Notes on Ronco J. L. Barnard (1965a): This genus was erected for a Micronesian species resembling Eusiroides but having cleft upper lip and a few thin palmar spines on the gnathopods. Ronco sosa appears to be a derivative of Eusiroides diplonyx with poorly developed gnathopods, incised upper lip, and smooth epimeron 3. The stout locking spine of pereopods 1–2 is a strong clue to this relationship, plus the condition of the telson. The inner plate of maxilla 2 on Ronco has lost all but a few of the numerous setae occurring on E. diplonyx. I consider the changes that have occurred in Ronco sosa to be of the magnitude as those found in Atylus (Kamehatylus) nani and suggest the reduction of Ronco to subgeneric status under Eusiroides.

DISTRIBUTION.—Indo-Pacific.

Pontogeneia pacifica Schellenberg

FIGURES 62, 63, 64

Pontogeneia pacifica Schellenberg, 1938, pp. 35–37, fig. 17.—J. L. Barnard, 1955a, p. 5.

This species seems to form part of a triad with the Caribbean P. longleyi Shoemaker (1933a) and the Californian P. “minuta” of J. L. Barnard (1959), with characters of each of those species appearing in P. pacifica. The rostrum and article 2 of pereopod 5 of P. longleyi and the long coxae of P. “minuta” are combined in P. pacifica. The posterior lobe on article 5 of gnathopod 2 in P. pacifica is intermediate in size between the weak lobe of P. longleyi and the strong lobe of P. “minuta.” Mandibular palp article 3 of P. pacifica is much better developed than in the other species.

Uropod 3 is similar in both sexes but the antennae differ considerably. Male antenna 1 is as long as the head and first 7.5 body segments, that of the female only as long as the head and first 6 body segments Male antenna 2 is as long as the head and first 9 body segments, that of the female only as long as the head and first 8 segments. Male antennal peduncles have stairstep notches and both antennae bear calceoli not found in females

Eyes are dark purple in formaldehyde but become pale purple broad cores surrounded by a layer or two of clear ommatidia in alcohol.

DIAGNOSIS OF TERMINAL MALE.—Accessory flagellum 3-4 articulate; eyes large and clear in alcohol, ommatidia all distinct, eyes red in life, lacking black pigment; mandibular palp article 3 long and weakly falcate; articles 5-6 of gnathopod 1 equal to each other in length; article 2 of gnathopod 2 not distally lobate, anterodistal corner setose and slightly protuberant, article 3 with normal lobe, article 6 elongate, palm oblique and equal to posterior margin of article 6, palm defined by large tooth and bearing middle tooth and spinose adze-shaped process near dactylar hinge, margin between defining and middle process flat, rounded between middle and distal process, posterodistal end of article 6 on pereopods 1–2 with 1 irregularly shaped chisel spine, slightly pointed or bifid apically, other locking spine slightly curved, dactyl with subapical constriction bearing 1 seta and 2 setules; locking spines of pereopods 3-5 normal; pereopods 3–5 bearing long setae on articles 2-6, posterior margin of article 2 of regular dimensions and weakly serrate; pleonal epimera 1–2 with lateral ridge, posteroventral corners sharply produced, posterior margins sparsely serrate, epimeron 3 quadrate, slightly serrate posteriorly, ventral margins of epimera with pairs of spines; urosomal segments simple; rami of uropods 1–2 with terminal spines of medium length; inner ramus of uropod 3 extending nearly as far as outer ramus, broadly truncate and spinose, outer ramus also broadly truncate, spinose and bearing small article 2 concealed from dorsal view; telson long, each apex broadly and deeply excavate, but excavation hidden by subterminal row of 5–6 spines.

FEMALE.—Gnathopod 1 slightly stouter than in male, gnathopod 2 a miniature edition of male gnathopod 2.

JUVENILE MALE AND JUVENILE.—Palmar humps on gnathopod 2 very weak, telson similar to adult but less spinose (4 spines per lobe), inner ramus of uropod 3 slightly shortened; epimera similar to adult.

MATERIAL.—The type material: on Calliactis, 20 April 1949. Honolulu Harbor, with Calliactis on Dolium, 4 October 1948 (3). Honolulu Aquarium, on hermit crab, 26 October 1949 (25). Ewa, off Oahu, 9 August 1950, Dolium-Calliactis with Dardanus asper association, 75–100 feet, collection, Tinker (10+). Honolulu Aquarium, from cement overflow gutter exit of fish tanks, 28 February 1950 (16, this sample misidentified as E. rapax by J. L. Barnard, 1955a).

REMARKS.—My comments (1955a) on the alternate variety of E. rapax are erroneous; that material belongs with E. calliactis and is readily identified by the clear eyes, absence of the fourth tooth on the palm of gnathopod 2, and the shape of the telson. The black eyes of E. rapax do not bleach clear in alcohol. The distal process on the palm of gnathopod 2 in E. calliactis is strongly spinose in terminal adults and thus my (1965a) key is in error. Besides relationships with E. holgurus J. L. Barnard (1962b), E. rapax and E. piikoi, Elasmopus calliactis has a resemblance to E. pseudaffinis Schellenberg (1938) (J. L. Barnard, 1965a) from Micronesia. That species has black eyes, very weak armament on the palm of gnathopod 2, a female with normal gnathopod 2, and a telson like adult E. rapax, with apically extended medial lobes bearing small terminolateral spines.

DISTRIBUTION.—Oahu, apparently found exclusively with a hermit-crab, sea-anemone association.

MATERIAL.—Devaney 1 (8).

REMARKS.—Schellenberg did not mention castellations on article 2 of pereopods 4–5; if they do not occur in the Micronesian material than the Hawaiian populations should be described as a new species.

MATERIAL.—Hilo, Hawaii, 20 June 1959, Clunio Polster, collector H. Caspers (10). Molokai, Hawaii, 1959, algae, collector H. Caspers (1).

REMARKS.—This species has the same formula of locking spines on pereopods 1–2 as does E. hooheno, one sabre-shaped and one nonsabre-shaped but the nonsabre-shaped spine of E. hooheno is of the corkscrew kind; the main locking spine of pereopods 3-5 in E. hooheno is a sabre while that of E. e. hawaiensis is not.

Male gnathopod 2 resembles that of E. pectenicrus, but the locking spines on pereopods 1–5 of the latter are all straight; male pereopod 4 of E. e. hawaiensis has a normal article 2.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

Elasmopus hooheno, new species

FIGURE 70

DIAGNOSIS OF MALE.—Accessory flagellum 2-articulate; eyes medium in size, not as dark as in E. pocillimanus, with occasional central ommatidium visible, pigment in alcohol brownish-purple; mandibular palp normally falcate (as drawn for E. piikoi); article 5 of gnathopod 1 about 80 percent as long as article 6; anterodistal end of article 2 on gnathopod 2 with slightly beveled corner bearing large spine (s), article 3 weakly lobate, article 5 short, bearing narrow but relatively short, setose posterior lobe, article 6 elongate and slightly tapering, palm oblique and about equal in length to posterior margin of article 6, defined by medium-sized conical cusp, distal end bearing spinose, slightly scalloped protrusion, middle of palm with truncate cusp, dactyl slender, normal, fitting palm; posterodistal end of article 6 on pereopods 1-2 with 1 large striate sabre-spine and 1 straight horizontally striate (“corkscrew”) spine, dactyl subapically constricted, minutely striate, bearing stout seta and 2 setules; locking spines of pereopods 3–5 consisting of 1 slight sabre and 1 straight axially striate spine, dactylar seta with weak flange; pereopods 3–5 bearing a few long setae on articles 2, 4, 5, posterior margin of article 2 of regular dimensions and weakly serrate; coxa 6 with unusually broad and slightly truncate anterior lobe; pleonal epimera 1–2 with lateral ridge, posteroventral corners sharply produced, posterior margins sparsely serrate, epimeron 3 with small cusp at posteroventral corner similar in size to a few posterior serrations, posterior margin nearly straight and posteroventral corner grossly quadrate, epimera bearing ventral spines or pairs of spines, no setae; rami of uropods 1–2 with elongate terminal spines but not unusually so; inner ramus of uropod 3 about two-thirds as long as outer, apex of inner ramus truncate and spinose, apex of outer spinose and bearing minute article 2; telson short, squamiform, lobes weakly excavate apically, each bearing 1 long, 1 short spine.

FEMALE.—Gnathopod 2 like that of E. molokai, but article 6 slightly stouter and palm with several small stout spines, occasionally posteroventral corner of epimeron 3 with notch obsolescent.

HOLOTYPE.—Bishop Museum collections, catalog number 7270, male 4.3 mm.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—JLB Hawaii 17, Kawela Bay, Oahu, intertidal, Sargassum, other algae, rocks, coral, 24 May 1967.

MATERIAL.—Five specimens from the type-locality.

RELATIONSHIP.—This species has approximately the same locking spine formula on pereopods 1–2 and telson as does E. spinidactylus Chevreux, but the dactyls lack castellae and the second articles of pereopods 3–5 are of the regularly ovate, unnotched kind. Male gnathopod 2 is very different from that of E. spinidactylus.

Perhaps this species has its closest relationship to E. molokai because of the total number of similarities (pereopods, telson, e.g.), but the main locking spine on pereopods 1-2 of E. molokai is not a sabre, the eyes are more weakly pigmented, the palm of male gnathopod 2 has no middle tooth, and article 2 lacks large spines.

Terminal males of E. hooheno probably have not been described and may, by indicative relationships, have more strongly serrate and setose pleonal epimera than seen in the present subterminal males.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—JLB Hawaii 6, off Barbers Point, Oahu, 30 m, coralline footballs, 29 January 1967.

MATERIAL.—JLB Hawaii 3 (15), 5 (25), 6 (22), 8 (6), 10 (6), 11 (1), 12 (2), 13 (3), 14 (1). Fee 1 (?1).

RELATIONSHIP.—This species has sympatric relationships with E. pocillimanus (Bate) and in juvenile stages superficially might be confused with that species except for the following differences: (1) in all stages E. pocillimanus eyes are so darkly pigmented that in alcohol only peripheral ommatidia are visible, whereas they show through the lighter pigment centrally in E. molokai; occasionally the pigment of E. molokai appears very dark but microscopic examination demonstrates the appearance of central ommatidia; (2) the short telson with sinuotruncate apices bearing slightly subapical spines; (3) the presence of a few setae on epimera and pereopods 3–5 in adults; (4) the replacement of striate sabre-spines on pereopods 1–2 with a chisel-shaped and a simple spine.

Distinction in juvenile stages from E. piikoi, new species, are very difficult to make and are discussed under the latter heading.

Allopatric relationships occur with E. minimus Chevreux (1908); E. molokai may be synonymous with E. minimus from Gambier Archipelago; the latter is based on a male resembling the juvenile male of E. molokai. The telson of E. minimus appears also to be shortened from Chevreux’s lateral drawing.

Elasmopus molokai differs from E. rapax in the same characters mentioned for E. piikoi.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—JLB Hawaii 13, Kaneohe Bay, Oahu, 3–4 m, corals, algae, corallines, 8 April 1967.

MATERIAL.—JLB Hawaii 2(32), 3(1), 12(12), 13(14), 14(25), 17(2).

RELATIONSHIP.—A sympatric resemblance occurs with E. pocillimanus (Bate) and E. molokai, new species, and differentiation of juveniles from similar stages of the latter species is difficult, except for the short telson of E. molokai. A judgment of this character is difficult to make without dissection until considerable experience with the material has been obtained. Gnathopods of the adult male arc clearly different, and the presence of epimeral setae on adult female E. molokai is characteristic. The pair of sabre-spines on pereopods 1–2 of E. pocillimanus is definitive of that species in all stages.

Elasmopus piikoi gnathopod 2 of the young male resembles that of E. calliactis Edmondson, but the eyes devoid of black pigment distinguish all stages of the latter species.

Adult males of E. piikoi differ from E. rapax Costa (J. L. Barnard, 1962b) in the absence of the fourth palmar process on gnathopod 2 that forms a long conical lateral tooth. Males, females, and large juveniles of E. rapax have several sharp serrations on epimeron 3. The telson of E. rapax has spines only on the apicolateral notch, and the medial projecting portion is smooth. Article 2 on the outer ramus of uropod 3 is absent in E. rapax.

Elasmopus holgurus J. L. Barnard (1962b) from California differs from E. piikoi in the absence of a defining tooth on the palm of male gnathopod 2, although the facial ridge and spine into which the dactylar apex fits are present in both species.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

REMARKS.—The gross teeth on the pereopodal dactyls distinguish this species from all others in Hawaii. Probably various races of this species throughout its range, like many other Hawaiian species, will be found but cannot be distinguished at present.

DISTRIBUTION.—Chagos Islands, eastward through Micronesia, Hawaii, Clipperton Island, SE Polynesia; and in the Caribbean Sea on the shores of Venezuela.

Eriopisa Stebbing

This genus, Eriopisella Chevreux and Netamelita J. L. Barnard appear to represent a polyphyletic group of species possibly derived from melita ancestors by reduction in size and complexity of male gnathopod 2 but at one extreme (type-species of Eriopisa), article 2 of the outer ramus on uropod 3 becomes very elongate and flat and in the other extreme (type-species of Netamelita) the article is lost as it is in most species of Melita. The eriopisella line generally has species with small article 2 on the outer ramus, like 2 species of Eriopisa, and the medial setae on the inner plates of the maxillae have been lost. Netamelita may not be distinct from Eriopisella, even though article 2 of the outer ramus on uropod 3 is lost, and gnathopod 2 is very strongly reduced to a size scarcely larger than gnathopod 1. The importance of these characters is difficult to evaluate in view of the alternative presence of article 2 on the outer ramus of uropod 3 in Melita and the diversity of other character differences among the various species of the 3 eriopisa genera. Thus, article 3 of the mandibular palp in Eriopisa capensis K. H. Barnard (1916) has become reduced, E. garthi J. L. Barnard (1952) has maxillae with intermediate setation, and E. elongata (Bruzelius. see Sars, 1895) has extremely reduced coxae and retains a lateral cephalic notch.

When European taxonomists established and refined the concepts of Eriopisa and Melita, the various tropical and warm-temperate species were unknown. Numerous gradations are now seen between the two extremes. The new Hawaiian species to be described confuses the generic classification further. It has normal Eriopisa-Melita mandibular bodies and maxillae, but has the short article 2 on the outer ramus of uropod 3 and resembles Netamelita more than the other genera in the transverse anterolateral cephalic margins. It is as clearly distinct phyletically from the type-species of Eriopisa as are Netamelita and most members of Eriopisa and Eriopisella: but it is retained in Eriopisa as a matter of convenience on the basis of maxillae 1–2.

We are thus in a position of recognizing defects in the present classification before more than a fraction of the known species has been discovered; further alignment should be reserved until exploration has revealed a majority of the species (Gurjanova, 1965).

Eriopisa (?) hamakua, new species

FIGURES 83, 84

DIAGNOSIS OF MALE.—Eyes represented by 8–9 clear facets weakly resembling ommatidia in front of light orange pigment splotch in alcohol; lateral cephalic lobes weakly protruding and lacking anteroventral notch; antenna 1 as long as head and body together, accessory flagellum 2-articulate, flagellum of antenna 2 as long as peduncular article 5 and three-fourths of article 4 together; mandibular palp long, article 3 subfalcate and strongly setose on concave margin; inner plates of maxillae 1–2 medially setose; coxae overlapping each other, coxae 1–2 longer than broad, 3–4 about as broad as long, coxa 1 rectangular, not produced or extended anteroventrally: article 4 of gnathopod 1 not inflated, article 5 much longer than broad, very densely setose posteriorly and laterally but unlobate, article 6 slender, rectangular, palm nearly transverse, dactyl short but fitting spinose palm; gnathopod 2 much larger than 1, article 5 short, stout, slightly inflated, article 6 very elongate and slender, palm from lateral view appearing to occupy entire posterior margin of hand, densely setose, dactyl about half as long as hand and slightly sinuous along inner margin, palm mediodistally with 3 spines and bearing defining bulge with 2 spines at apical extent of dactyl, palm medially with weak excavation; pereopods 1–2 with slender article 2; article 2 of pereopods 3–5 rectangular and relatively slender, posteroventral corners with sharp tiny cusp but not lobate, remainder of pereopodal articles slender; uropod 1 with large distolateral peduncular spine, outer ramus of uropod 2 slightly shorter than inner ramus, peduncle of uropod 2 with comb-row of spines on mediodistal end; (uropod 3 unknown); pleonal epimera 1–2 with small sharp posteroventral tooth and nearly straight posterior margins, epimeron 3 with large obtusely rounded posterior extension bearing sharp cusp on posterodorsal corner, oblique upper margin with 3 setules, ventral margin spinose; pleonite 4 with small dorsolateral setule, 5 with dorsolateral spinule on each side; telson thin dorsoventrally, of medium length but slightly broader than long, fully cleft, lobes less tilted than in E. laakona, new species, each apex with obtusely conical projection guarded on each side by 3 spines, middlemost spine of each triad longest; branchiae broadly ovate and pyriform, with narrow necks.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—JLB Hawaii 2, open sea off W end of Pearl Harbor, Oahu, 4–5 m, sand, encrustations, 29 January 1967.

RELATIONSHIP.—The absence of uropod 3 does not seriously detract from the placement of this species in Eriopisa, but relationships with several other species are clouded; however, the shape of pleonal epimeron 3 is so far unique in the genus.

Gnathopods have a slight relationship to those of E. philippensis (Chilton) and E. seurati Gauthier, but article 4 of gnathopod 1 is not swollen.

The right mandibular molar of E. hamakua has a seta and a flake.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—JLB Hawaii 17, Kawela Bay, Oahu, intertidal, Sargassum, algae, rocks, corals, 24 May 1967.

MATERIAL.—JLB Hawaii 12 (1), 17 (3).

RELATIONSHIP.—Eriopisa seurati Gauthier, from Tunisia, also has the short article 2 on the outer ramus of uropod 3 like the Hawaiian species, but has numerous differences in mandibular palp, pereopods, gnathopods, head, telson, and otherwise on uropod 3.

Eriopisa garthi J. L. Barnard from Baja California, E. elongata (Bruzelius) from the North Atlantic, and the subterranean E. philippensis (Chilton) have the elongate kind of article 2 on the outer ramus of uropod 3. Eriopisella capensis (K. H. Barnard, 1916) (see Gurjanova, 1965) from South Africa has a short article 2 on uropod 3, but has rounded epimera, acutely produced coxa 1, blunt inner ramus on uropod 3, a short, rectolinear, apically setose article 3 on the mandibular palp, and a stout, lobate article 5 on gnathopod 2.

The four known species of Eriopisella differ from E. laakona in the absence of medial setae on the inner plates of the maxillae, but resemble it, like Eriopisa seurati, in the shortness of article 2 on the outer ramus of uropod 3. Each of them has numerous other differences from E. laakona. Those species are Eriopisella pusilla Chevreux, E. sechellensis Chevreux, E. nagatai Gurjanova, and E. capensis (K. H. Barnard).

Eriopisa laakona differs from E. chilkensis Chilton (1921) in the subfalcate palp article 3 of the mandible, the shorter article 2 on the outer ramus of uropod 3, the larger tooth on epimeron 3, the narrower article 2 of pereopod 5, and the narrower hand of gnathopod 1.

Eriopisella nagatai Gurjanova (1965) has a very broadly inflated palm on gnathopod 1, normally narrowed telsonic lobes, a further shortened article 2 on the outer ramus of uropod 3, trapezoidal and anteroventrally extended coxa 1, and a grossly lobate article 2 on pereopod 5.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

RELATIONSHIP.—This subspecies resembles closely the typical subspecies Eriopisella s. sechellensis (Chevreux, 1901), but the hands of the gnathopods are slightly narrower, less ovate and more rectangular, the lateral cephalic lobes are more strongly rounded, and the dactyls of pereopods 3–5 are not bifid.

Eriopisella pusilla Chevreux (see Chevreux and Fage, 1925), from the Mediterranean Sea, though resembling E. sechellensis in many ways, has a more strongly hemicircular cephalic lobe and vestigial eye dot, noncontiguous coxae 5–7, slender body, and imperfectly bifid dactyl on pereopod 5.

Eriopisella capensis (K. H. Barnard, 1916) has article 3 of the mandibular palp shorter than article 2, a much elongate palm on gnathopods 1–2, more evenly triangular article 5 on gnathopod 2, rounded pleonal epimera 1–3, shorter antenna 1, and narrower anterior process on coxa 1.

Affinities with Eriopisella (Netamelita) cortada (J. L. Barnard, 1962b) are strong, but E. s. upolu differs from that Californian species in the presence of article 2 on the outer ramus of uropod 3, the sharp, not rounded apices of the telsonic lobes, the presence of a posteroventral tooth on pleonal epimeron 1, the narrow article 2 of pereopod 5, and strongly extended coxa 1.

MALE.—Gnathopod 2 slightly larger than largest of female, equal to each other on either side of animal.

JUVENILE DEVELOPMENT, 1.9 MM.—Accessory flagellum with 2 very long and 1 short articles, flagellum of antenna 2 with 4 articles; inner plate of maxilla 1 with 3 long and 2 short setae, same as adult; gnathopod 2 with large cusp on article 4, article 5 long and poorly setose, palm oblique, smooth, spinose, defined by slight protrusion and several spines and setae; article 2 of pereopods 3–4 slender, that of pereopod 5 basally expanded and tapering distally; inner ramus of uropod 2 reaching only two-thirds along outer ramus of uropod 3; outer ramus of uropod 3 over twice as long as peduncle, inner ramus slightly less than half as long as outer ramus, thus resembling Melita, uropod 3 exceeding extent of uropods 1–2 by more than length of telson; telson with only middle spine present on each apex.

JUVENILE, 2.5 MM.—Inner ramus 80 percent as long as outer ramus on uropod 3 but rami exceeding uropod 2 by more than length of telson, lateral telsonic spine about half as long as medial, article 2 of pereopod 3 slender, but that of pereopods 4–5 becoming expanded.

YOUNG ADULT, 4.5 MM.—Rami of uropod 3 like those of adult, with inner ramus nearly as long as outer, uropod 3 exceeding uropod 2 by half length of telson.

HOLOTYPE.—Bishop Museum collections, catalog number 7276, female, 6.3 mm.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—JLB Hawaii 2, off W end of Pearl Harbor, Oahu, 4–5 m, encrustations from sand reef, 29 January 1967.

MATERIAL.—Twelve specimens from the type-locality.

REMARKS.—This species has its closest affinites with M. pacifica Schellenberg, a species known from the Gilbert, Fiji, and Hawaiian Islands. Maera kaiulani differs from M. pacifica in the absence of dark ocular pigment, the deeply and sharply bifid telsonic lobes, the slightly shorter defining tooth on gnathopod 2, the scalloped palms, narrower article 2 of pereopods 3–4 in adults, and the absence of a small inner acclivity on male gnathopod 2 dactyl (mostly absent in M. pacifica from Hawaii).

The developmental steps undergone by uropod 3 during maturation of this species are remarkable, for in early stages this species resembles the genus Melita in having a short inner ramus. The mouthparts of M. kaiulani and M. pacifica are almost indistinguishable; the mandibular body and molar are very massive, and the inner plates of the maxillipeds bear apicolateral cusps giving the distal end an excavate appearance.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

DIAGNOSIS OF MALE.—Lateral cephalic lobes softly rounded, scarcely quadratiform, anteroventral cephalic corner produced as narrow sharp tooth; eyes subcircular, bright to brownish-purple in alcohol; upper lip lobate as in “Linguimaera” (Pirlot, 1936); coxa 1 weakly extended, setose and rounded anteroventrally, coxa 2 very narrow anteroposteriorly, anterior coxae lacking posteroventral notch; gnathopod 1 of medium stoutness, article 6 ovatorectangular, palm oblique and convex, equal to posterior margin of article 6, defined by tiny sharp cusp and spine, article 5 with several medial rows of diverse setal spines, article 4 lacking posterodistal cusp; gnathopod 2 occasionally of slightly different size on each side, very large, article 2 with medium-sized anterodistal lobe, article 3 with similar lobe, article 4 unextended posterodistally, article 5 very short, with long tumid posterior lobe, article 6 very large, subrectangular, slightly expanded distally, palm transverse, defined by large tooth-bearing spine, tooth adjacent to small sinus, palm spinose and very weakly scalloped and with 1 medium-sized excavation near middle, dactyl fitting palm and occasionally with inner acclivity fitting excavation; article 2 of pereopods 3–5 ovate, posteroventral lobes broad; dactyls of pereopods 1–5 with strong distal constriction bearing sharp defining corner and armed with stout seta-bearing flange, sharp nail with large acute accessory tooth, facial setule, constriction also bearing stout setule appressed to margin of nail, locking spines straight and slightly pectinate; pereopods 4–5 stout, article 4 of pereopod 3 very tumid; pleonal epimera 1–3 with slightly convex posterior margins and small to medium-sized posteroventral tooth, that of epimeron 1 especially sharp, epimera ventrally spinose, 1–2 with lateral ridge; pleonites dorsally smooth; uropod 3 not or slightly exceeding extent of uropods 1–2, rami flat, of medium breadth or narrow, apically truncate and spinose, inner ramus very slightly shorter man outer, latter with thin article 2; telson deeply but not fully cleft, with strongly fixed medial gap, lobes with medium-sized or small medial cusp but not bifid, armed with 3–5 spines on each lobe, at least 3 spines as long as telson.

FEMALE.—Gnathopod 2 slightly smaller than in male, palm lacking incision and slightly more strongly scalloped; coxa 2 of normal dimensions.

VARIATIONS.—Occasional individuals have one or two of the six members of pereopods 3–5 with narrow article 2 like M. quadrimana, but most of these appear to be the result of regeneration of legs accidentally lost.

MATERIAL.—JLB Hawaii 6 (?2), 13 (4), 14 (6), 17 (4). Fee 1 (2).

REMARKS.—The Hawaiian population of this species has a stronger anteroventral cephalic tooth, smaller incision adjacent to defining tooth on gnathopod 2 palm, stronger medial telsonic cusps in small males and large females, longer telsonic spines and a more tumid article 4 of pereopod 3 than in the materials from southern Polynesia and Micronesia.

Several characters comparable to or slightly different from the figures of M. kaiulani, new species, are the presence of only 1 defining spine on the palm of gnathopod 1, the more strongly setose coxae, the additional sets of spines on articles 5–6 of pereopods 1–2, the similar dactyls of pereopods 1–5, and the shorter antennae 1–2. Maxilla 2 of M. pacifica in Hawaii has setae occurring as far down the inner margin as one-third of its length, the mandibular palp is more tumid and more setose than in M. kaiulani, and the maxillipeds are similar between the two species.

DISTRIBUTION.—Southern Polynesia, Micronesia, Hawaiian Islands.

Maera serrata Schellenberg

FIGURES 96, 97

Maera inaequipes serrata Schellenberg, 1938, pp. 41–42, fig. 18.—J. L. Barnard, 1965a, p. 510.

NOMENCLATURE.—Schellenberg described this taxon as a subspecies of M. inaequipes, but it and the latter are sympatric and should either be recognized as conspecific phenotypes/ecotypes or recognized as distinct species. Though one may presume one phenotype of a species and not the other may exist in a geographic area, the absence so far of any record typical of M. i. inaequipes in Hawaii suggests that M. serrata is a distinct species occurring both in southern Polynesia and in Hawaii. Because the M. serrata of Hawaii probably has a distinct character worthy of subspecific appellation, a quadrinomial would be required to signal that distinction. For the present, I hesitate to establish the Hawaiian population as subspecifically distinct from the population in southern Polynesia, but such trinomial procedure would now be simplified in that M. serrata is elevated to full specific rank. If the males described below are fully terminal then the Hawaiian population should be recognized nomenclaturally.

DIAGNOSIS OF MALE.—Lateral cephalic lobes softly rounded, anteroventral cephalic tooth sharp and thin; eyes subcircular, pale purple cores in alcohol; upper lip lobate as in “Linguimaera” (Pirlot, 1936); coxa 1 sharply but weakly extended anteroventrally, coxa 2 narrow anteroposteriorly, anterior coxae lacking posteroventral notch; gnathopod 1 of medium stoutness, article 6 ovatorectangular, palm oblique and convex, palm slightly shorter than posterior margin of article 6, defined by sharp acclivity and spine, article 6 with several medial rows of diverse setal spines, article 4 lacking posterodistal cusp; gnathopod 2 very large, article 2 with large downward pointing process of medium breadth, article 3 weakly lobate, article 4 sharply extended posterodistally, article 5 very short, with long tumid posterior lobe, article 6 very large, subrectangular, slightly expanded distally, palm transverse, defined by large tooth bearing spine, tooth adjacent to small sinus, palm spinose and weakly scalloped and bearing weak excavation in middle, dactyl fitting palm and bearing strong inner acclivity fitting excavation; article 2 of pereopods 3–5 narrowly ovatorectangular, posterior margins nearly straight, posteroventral lobes narrow, short, sharply cuspidate; dactyls of pereopods 1–5 with strong distal constriction bearing sharp defining corner and armed with thin seta, sharp but stunted nail bearing small acute accessory tooth, facial setule, constriction also bearing stout setule partially appressed to margin of nail, locking spines small, straight or slightly curved; pleonal epimera 1–3 with slightly convex posterior margins, each with sharp posteroventral tooth, ventrally spinose, epimeron 2 with 1 accessory serration and 1 notch; pleonites dorsally smooth; uropod 3 slightly exceeding extent of uropods 1–2, rami flat, narrow, apically truncate and spinose, equal to each other in length, outer with tiny article 2 hidden among spines; telson deeply but not fully cleft, with strongly fixed medial gap, lobes thin, apically bifid, lateral cusp longer than medial, each lobe with 2 long spines not fully as long as telson and 1 short spine; posterior margin of urosomite 3 very sharp in comparison to other species of Hawaiian Maera.

FEMALE.—Gnathopod 2 similar to that of male but excavation in middle weaker.

DISTRIBUTION.—Southern Polynesia, Micronesia, and the Hawaiian Islands.

Maera species A

FIGURES 98, 99

A single female has affinities with M. hamigera Haswell as represented by J. L. Barnard (1965a) from Micronesia, but gnathopod 2 is so much better developed than in the Micronesian population that a name is reserved until the male can be found and described.

Maera species B

FIGURE 100

A single female differs from other species of Hawaiian Maera notably in the absence of a lateral cephalic notch and in other characters, but the lack of a male prevents appellation; affinities may be with M. othonides Walker.

Melita pahuwai, new species

FIGURES 103, 104

DIAGNOSIS OF MALE.—Head with deep lateral slit below subnasiform lateral lobes; eyes narrowly ovatopyriform, retaining brownish-purple pigment in alcohol; flagellum of second antenna 1.3 times as long as article 5; coxa 1 not anteroventrally produced; article 6 of gnathopod 1 distally expanded, anterior margin swollen, palm short and oblique, bearing 3 stout medial spines and 5–6 thin lateral spines, then distally excavate for reception of large dactylar bulge, beyond that produced again, dactyl thick, bulging basally, fitting palm, distally unguiform and bearing accessory setal spine; gnathopod 2 with unlobed articles 2–3, article 4 with posterodistal cusp, article 5 with narrow, setose posterior lobe, article 6 elongate, expanding distally like young male M. palmata, dactyl longer than palm and overriding medial face, palm short and scarcely oblique, but rounding onto posterior margin of article 6 and minutely spinose, medial face of hand with axial channel toward posterior side, channel defined anteriorly by sharp ridge bearing distal spines and by shorter sharp ridge proximally; channel filled with pectinoplumose setae; all pereopodal dactyls with distal double constriction and nail, with stout marginal seta and small facial setule, locking spines simple; pereopods 3–5 of regular form but relatively short and thick, dactyls also thick; outer ramus of uropod 3 with 1 article only; telson with sharp apices, lobes gaping, each lobe with 2 medial spines, one long subterminal medial spine guarded by sharp cusp, small apicolateral spine, and 3 basolateral spines, plus setules subapically; pleonal epimera 1–3 each with small posteroventral tooth, no other serrations; only urosomite 2 with small lateral cusp guarding 2 spines, cusp obtusely angular.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—JLB Hawaii 17, Kawela Bay, Oahu, intertidal, Sargassum, algae, rocks, corals, 24 May 1967.

MATERIAL.—JLB Hawaii 17(3), 18(2).

RELATIONSHIP.—Closely related to Melita koreana Stephensen (1944), a species with similar male gnathopod 2 palm lacking a distinct channel on medial face of hand but strongly setose thereon. Melita koreana has 3 spines but no cusp on each dorsolateral side of pleonite 4, and male gnathopod 1 dactyl is a stout, short coniform piece not reaching the end of the palm, the latter simply convex. The telson lacks mediobasal spines and articles 3–6 of pereopods 3–5 are more slender than in M. pahuwai.

Melita laevidorsum Stephensen (1944), from Japan, also has 3 spines and no cusp on each side of pleonite 4, no basomedial spines on the telsonic lobes, slender pereopods 3–5, and a longer flagellum on antenna 2 than does M. pahuwai, but gnathopod 1 is more like that of the Hawaiian species than is gnathopod 1 of M. koreana. Gnathopod 2 of the male, possibly not fully developed, has a simple, sloping, spinose palm with many medial setae and a spinose medial defining ridge.

Melita pahuwai has its closest affinities with M. zeylanica Stebbing (1904) from Ceylon. The latter has a similar gnathopod 2, apparently similar ornaments on pleonite 4, has medial spines on the telsonic lobes but has larger coxae than does M. pahuwai, and male gnathopod 1 article 6 is evenly rectangular, not distally expanded and has a simple palm like the female of M. pahuwai. Article 4 of pereopods 3–5, especially pereopod 5 of M. zeylanica, is much stouter than in M. pahuwai and article 6 is very short on pereopod 5 but not on pereopods 3–4.

The west American representatives of M. nitida Smith (Shoemaker, 1935b) have long coxae, a simple palm on male gnathopod 1 and a weak, poorly setose gnathopod 2, palm very oblique, but with dactyl overriding the surface to close against a spinose locking ridge. Pleonite 4 has only 3 dorsolateral spines on each side.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

Nuuanu, new genus

DIAGNOSIS.—Eyes weakly developed; lateral cephalic lobe with deep notch; antenna 1 geniculate between articles 1 and 2, accessory flagellum 3-articulate; mandibular palp article 3 subfalcate, strongly setose and longer than article 1, molar triturative; lower lip apparently lacking inner lobes, inner plates of maxillae 1–2 densely setose medially, palp of maxilla 1 with 2 articles; maxillipeds basic; gnathopod 1 small and slender but subchelate, palm nearly transverse; gnathopod 2 of male large (female unknown); coxa 4 strongly excavate posteriorly; second articles of pereopods 3–5 with strong castelloserrations; metasome with weak dorsal teeth, urosome with a few dorsal spines not in bundles, urosomites separate; uropod 3 short, scarcely extending beyond uropods 1–2, inner ramus short and scalelike, outer with 2 articles, article 2 short; telson short, deeply cleft.

TYPE-SPECIES.—Nuuanu amikai, new species.

RELATIONSHIP.—This genus belongs in the Eriopisa-Melita group with shortened and scalelike inner ramus of uropod 2. It differs from Eriopisella Chevreux and Netamelita J. L. Barnard in the medially setose inner plates of the maxillae, from Melita Leach in the short uropod 3, from Melitoides Gurjanova and Netamelita in the absence of inner lobes on the lower lip, the 2-articulate outer ramus of uropod 3, and from Eriopisa Stebbing in the short uropod 3 and presence of weak dorsal sculpture. The geniculate antenna 1, with article 2 bending strongly past the lateral extension of article 1, is also a character distinguishing Nuuanu from other Gammaridae mentioned above, the telson apparently is unusually short for this group, and the conspicuous castelloserrations of pereopods 3–5 are signficant. The 3-articulate accessory flagellum exceeds that of the other genera except Melita by at least 1 article.

The dorsal sculpture, though weak, and the long coxae suggest closest affinities with Melita more than with Eriopisa and mandibular palp article 3 is scarcely more swollen than in M. palmata (Montagu) (Sars, 1895, pl. 179).

REMARKS.—The right mandibular molar has a large smooth accessory flake and a long seta. Eyes are red in formaldehyde and clear in alcohol. The palm of gnathopod 2 is transverse and nearly protuberant in Hawaiian individuals.

DISTRIBUTION.—Circumtropical.

Gammaropsis Liljeborg (=Eurystheus Bate)

REMARKS.—Members of this genus in Hawaii demonstrate a meeting ground of cold-temperate and tropical pathways. Gammaropsis atlantica, G. afra, and G. pokipoki represent the tropical members having an article 2 on the outer ramus of uropod 3 and the absence of a molarial flake. Gammaropsis alamoana, with obvious derivation from the cold-temperate Pacific G. thompsoni Walker, lacks article 2 on the outer ramus of uropod 3 like other cold-temperate species (of the North Atlantic Ocean), but has a molarial flake on the right mandible. Gammaropsis pali represents the intermediate condition, a molarial flake combined with an article 2 on the outer ramus of uropod 3, and the tropical G. digitata from Canton Island, the reverse condition.

Gnathopod 1 usually has a defining spine except in G. pali, and uropod 2 lacks a ventral peduncular tooth between the rami except for a small tooth in G. digitata and a large one in G. haleiwa.

DIAGNOSIS (relative to forms of G. atlantica).—Lateral cephalic lobes poorly projecting, eye weakly reniform, but not distinctly lageniform or ovate; accessory flagellum thick and 3-articulate in adults (1.9 mm); gnathopod 2 with palmar axis less oblique than in form A of G. atlantica, with small subquadrate palmar concavity, large defining tooth, palmar bulge with 2 humps, dactyl especially short and thick compared with form B of G. atlantica, and proximal inner margin with 2 small conical processes, article 6 about 1.75 times as long as broad, articles 2 and 6 with very few setae. Female gnathopod 2 of the fully developed condition as in form A of G. atlantica and spine of palm especially enlarged.

COLOR IN 2-DAY FORMALDEHYDE.—Body white, eyes brown.

MATERIAL.—JLB Hawaii 5 (15). Devaney 1 (19).

Hybrid or form intermediate with G. atlantica: Eye slightly more reniform than in typical individuals; palm much less oblique than any form of atlantica or afra, concavity narrowest, palmar bulge quadrate, proximal inner margin of dactyl with low quadrate process; color as in form B of G. atlantica; body length reaching 4 mm in contrast to 2.2 mm maximum size of G. afra.

MATERIAL.—JLB Hawaii 5 (10).

REMARKS.—The metasome, urosome, uropods, and telson resemble those of G. atlantica (Figure 111), but owing to the small size of the adults of the typical form the spines are less frequent. Thus, the outer ramus of uropod 3 lacks the subterminal marginal spine and article 2 of the outer ramus is relatively much larger than in G. atlantica or in the “hybrid” form. The outer ramus of uropod 2 is shortened as it is on uropod 1 of G. atlantica and has only 1 marginal spine; the outer ramus of uropod 2 has 2 marginal spines. Mouthparts are less setose than in G. atlantica.

Gammaropsis afra and G. atlantica are linked through form B of G. atlantica and the hybrid form here assigned for convenience to G. afra; gnathopods are almost perfectly intergraded but the hybrid form has them more extremely coarsened than in any other form and G. atlantica form A has them occurring in the most graceful condition.

DISTRIBUTION.—East Adantic Ocean, eastward to Hawaii.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—JLB Hawaii 13, Kaneohe Bay, Oahu, 3–4 m, corals, algae, corallines, 8 April 1967.

MATERIAL.—JLB Hawaii 2 (6), 3 (1), 5 (3), 8 (26), 10 (13), 12(1), 13 (10), 14 (5).

RELATIONSHIP.—This species is a cognate of Gammaropsis thompsoni (Walker) of the cold and warm-temperate northeastern Pacific Ocean (Shoemaker, 1931, 1942, 1955 and J. L. Barnard, 1959). Gammaropsis alamoana differs from its cognate in the weaker bulge of epimeron 3, the shorter spines of the telson, the weaker dorsal armaments of the urosome, the presence of a distinct defining cusp on gnathopod 2 of females, and the shortening of the dactyl on gnathopod 2 of terminal males.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

DIAGNOSIS OF MALE FORM A.—Lateral cephalic lobes projecting to medium extent, eye Iagenifonn in juveniles and adults from 1.8 to 4.5 mm in body length, juveniles of 1.2 mm with vertically oriented ovate eye lacking dorsoposteriorly extended ommatidia; accessory flagellum thin and 6-articulate in adults; gnathopod 2 with palmar axis oblique, large palmar concavity near defining corner, with large spine on medial surface near concavity, palmar bulge near finger hinge forming 3 low humps each minutely undulate, palmar defining corner scarcely produced, dactyl slightly shorter than palm, article 6 of gnathopod 2 about 1.5 times as long as broad; terminal male with heavy setation on anteromedial margins of articles 2 and 6.

FEMALE.—Gnathopod 2 fully developed as in Figure 112f, with crenulate palm and slight process at defining corner. Juveniles lacking process at corner.

COLOR IN 2-DAY FORMALDEHYDE.—Eyes red or orange, head purple or white but bleaching white in alcohol.

DIAGNOSIS OF MALE FORM B.—Lateral cephalic lobes projecting very strongly, coniform, eyes in youthful members (3.1 mm) ovate horizontally and confined to ocular lobe, in terminal adults ommatidia proliferating in dorsoposterior direction toward forehead and eye becoming lageniform; accessory flagellum thick and not exceeding 4 articles; gnathopod 2 with palm less oblique than form A, concavity shallower and narrower but defining cusp much larger, palmar bulge with 1 or 2 humps only, articles 2 and 6 with very few setae.

FEMALE.—Frequently maintaining juvenile gnathopod 2 into old age (4.0 mm), but accessory flagellum slender and often 5-articulate.

COLOR.—Same as form A but majority of specimens maintaining purple-pink head and anterior body stain in alcohol.

MATERIAL.—JLB Hawaii 2 (14), 3 (23), 5 (6), 6 (10), 8 (1), 10 (20), 12 (4), 13 (18). Makapuu Point, Oahu, April 1967, Zoanthus (1), collectors Ralph Bowers and Dr. Jerry Welch.

DISCUSSION.—Form B is like materials reported on by Walker (1905), Pillai (1957), and J. L. Barnard (1965a), whereas form A represents material in the other references. If the two forms are indeed phenotypes of a single species, they are readily distinct in Hawaii in the male at all stages. Young males and females of form B are recognizable by the horizontally ovate eyes, and adult males are recognizable by the gnathopod 2 palm and the lack of a dense brush of setae on article 2. Form A appears to be the more advanced in that juvenile eyes are vertically ovate and transformation to lageniform state occurs very early. Form B may represent a retarded phase or holding stage in the maturation cycle, whereas form A may be a “pelagic phase” with early and continuous reproduction. But form A may be one kind of hybrid of G. atlanticus with G. afra. Another hybrid-like form is reported under the latter species.

If the two forms represent sibling species, they are unusual in that they occur throughout the tropical Indo-Pacific together, from at least India to Hawaii. At every locale each form has a minutely to grossly distinct morphology from its nearest neighbors, and they might be accorded subspecific appellations. Strangely, G. afra must also be a sibling species as gnathopod 2 is often almost identical to various allopatriots of G. atlantica (e.g., afra of South Africa and atlantica of India). But in each locale the two species may be distinguished as their morphologies shift in various directions so as not to overlap sympatrically.

Gammaropsis pacifica (Schellenberg, 1938) from various islands in Micronesia and southern Polynesia appears to be distinct from G. atlantica in the dactyl of male gnathopod 2 overlapping the palmer defining comer, but Barnard (1965a) found definite individuals of G. atlantica in the same islands (Marshalls) as Schellenberg found his G. pacifica. Also, Barnard’s female G. pacifica from Micronesia probably is referable to G. atlantica or to the “hybrid” afra-atlantica mentioned under G. afra. The diversity in Hawaiian collections suggests to me that Megamphopus abbotti Barnard (1965a) from Micronesia also belongs with the G. afra-atlantica complex; it has gnathopod 2 of afra, but the eyes are of intermediate character, and the accessory flagellum is reduced to 2 articles. The latter is the criterion for the Megamphopus “concept,” but Barnard (1962a and elsewhere) has already questioned the validity of that slim difference. Megamphopus abbotti should be brought into the Gammaropsis complex but retained as a distinct species. Undoubtedly, the widely scattered archipelagos of Micronesia and Polynesia provide fertile ground for speciation or at least strong differentiation by founder populations enjoying less stressful competition than that occurring in more diverse environments. Unfavorable mutations recurrent in populations inhabiting diverse environments may be better suited for and become dominant in the small scale and poorly diverse environments of isolated atolls or small island groups.

Hawaiian populations of both G. afra and G. atlantica have the inner plate of maxilla 1 fully setose on the medial edge; the tiny individuals of G. afra have only 3 setae but they fully embrace the medial margin.

DISTRIBUTION.—Eastern Atlantic Ocean eastward to Hawaii.

FIGURE 115

DIAGNOSIS OF YOUNG MALE.—Lateral cephalic lobes long and narrow, anteroventral margin of medium recessment for antenna 2, lobes rounded-subconical apically; eyes small, subcircular, a black core surrounded by clear, small ommatidia; epistome rounded anteriorly; right mandibular molar with flake; inner plate of maxilla 1 bearing 1 long apical seta and 1 small setule; maxilliped differing from Hawaiian congeners in flabellate expansion of apical spines on inner plate of maxilliped, presence of adz-shaped process on article 3 of palp and in elongation of article 4, subunguiform and bearing short nail and 2 or 3 setules all shorter than article 4; antennae slender, antenna 1 as long as head plus first 9.5 body segments, antenna 2 three-fourths as long as 1, accessory flagellum 4-articulate; coxa 1 obtuse anteroventrally, coxae otherwise normal and not enlarged; article 6 of gnathopod 1 ovatorectangular, not expanded, palm defined by small spine and bearing large spine like that of gnathopod 2, article 5 of gnathopods 1–2 lacking anterior spines; gnathopod 2 small, scarcely broader than gnathopod 1, palm oblique, even, defined by medium spine and bearing large medial spine in middle, dactyl slender and fitting palm; pereopods 3–4 (5 unknown) like those of Aoroides columbiae figured herein including presence of stout, slightly hooked submarginal spine on article 5, article 2 thus thin but weakly ovatopyriform; pleonal epimera 1–3 with moderately bulging posterior margins and weak posteroventral notch and tooth; urosomite 1 with 1 dorsolateral seta on each side marking slight anterior turn in lateral margin, urosomite 2 similar but dorsal part of lateral margin with 3 nobs, dorsolateral margin of urosomite 3 also nobbed; both uropods 1 and 2 with long ventral peduncular tooth between rami, uropod 1 also with distomedial sharp tooth on peduncle; rami of uropod 3 about 1.5 times as long as short peduncle, outer with small article 2; telson moderately excavate dorsally and bearing only 1 lateral seta on each side, no spine.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—JLB Hawaii 10, Kaneohe Bay, Oahu, 2 m, Pocillopora, 23 February 1967.

REMARKS.—The mandibular palp is slender like that of G. maculatus (Johnston) (=G. erythrophthalmus (Liljeborg) in Sans, 1895, pl. 198) and the lobes of maxilla 2 are broader than in Sars′ representation.

Affinities of this species outside of Hawaii cannot be determined until we are certain that adult males have been described. In Hawaiian waters this species differs from its congeners in numerous characters, some of possible generic value such as those of the maxillipeds, but it differs in nongeneric characters by a combination of narrow cephalic lobes, small, circular eyes with black core, elongate rami of uropod 3 with 2-articulate outer ramus, the presence of a long peduncular tooth on uropod 2, and the occurrence of nobs on urosomal margins.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

Gammaropsis kaumaka, new species

FIGURE 116

DIAGNOSIS OF YOUNG MALE.—Lateral cephalic lobes of medium elongation, anteroventral margin of medium recessment for antenna 2, lobes rounded-subconical apically; eyes of moderate size, irregularly ovate, slightly tilted from horizontal plane, a black core surrounded by clear ommatidia; epistome rounded anteriorly; right mandibular molar appearing to lack flake but possibly bearing rugosity; inner plate of maxilla 1 bearing 2 short apical setae and 2 long medial setae; maxillipedal palp and inner plate of normal condition for genus, major spine-teeth of inner plate short conical sabres, palp article 3 lacking process, article 4 short, with long apical setal spines; antennae short and stout, equal to each other in length, accessory flagellum 2-articulate; coxa 1 obtuse anteroventrally, coxae otherwise normal and not enlarged; article 6 of gnathopod 1 subrectangular, not expanded, palm defined by small spine, article 5 of gnathopods 1–2 lacking anterior spines; gnathopod 2 of medium size, possibly in juvenile condition, palm oblique, rounding onto posterior margin of hand and defined by stout spine, dactyl fitting palm; pereopods 3–4 (5 unknown) like those of Aoroides columbine figured herein, second articles stouter and subpyriform; pleonal epimera 1–3 with moderately bulging posterior margins and weak posteroventral notch and tooth; urosomites simple; both uropods 1 and 2 with long ventral peduncular tooth between rami; outer ramus of uropod 3 as long as peduncle, with barrel-shaped article 2, inner ramus slightly shorter and much thinner man outer ramus, bearing 1 apical spine; telson moderately excavate dorsally and bearing stout spine and nob on each side.

HOLOTYPE.—Bishop Museum collections, catalog number 7281, ?male, 1.7 mm. Unique.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—JLB Hawaii 17, Kawela Bay, Oahu, intertidal, Sargassum, other algae, rocks, corals, 24 May 1967.

RELATIONSHIP.—Affinities of this species outside of Hawaii cannot be determined until definitely adult males have been described, but in its juvenile condition, G. kaumaka is clearly distinct from all other Hawaiian species of Gammaropsis. The presence of a peduncular tooth on uropod 2 links this species with G. haleiwa, new species, the only other Gammaropsis in Hawaii so far having that character, but G. kaumaka differs from G. haleiwa in the normal articles 3–4 of the maxillipedal palp, the slightly shorter lateral cephalic lobes with more irregular eyes, the smooth margins of the urosomites, the short rami of uropod 3, the medially setose inner plate of maxilla 1, the normal spines on the inner plate of the maxilliped, and the presence of stout spines on the telson.

Gammaropsis kaumaka also resembles G. pokipoki, new species, but has shorter rami on uropod 3, less deeply inserted antenna 2, an unexcavate palm of gnathopod 2, short article 5 on gnathopod 2, a normally rounded and broad pleonal epimeron 3, and the process on uropod 2.

Gammaropsis kaumaka also is difficult to distinguish superficially from G. pali, new species, but differs in the presence of the peduncular process on uropod 2, the blunter spines on uropods 1–2, the broader article 2 of pereopods 3–4 (?5), the unexcavate palm of gnathopod 2, the slightly more deeply inserted antenna 2, the shorter inner ramus of uropod 2 with its single apical spine, and the absence of anterior spines on article 5 of gnathopods 1–2.

Antenna 1 bears 4 long and 1 short flagellar articles and antenna 2 bears 3 flagellar articles.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

FIGURES 117, 118

DIAGNOSIS OF FEMALE AND JUVENILE MALE.—Lateral cephalic lobes of medium extension, narrow, anteroventral margin slightly insinuate; eyes dark in alcohol, irregularly oval or trapezoidal, set obliquely in ocular lobes, anterior and ventral margins clear of pigment; epistome unproduced; right mandibular molar with flake; inner plate of maxilla 1 with about 5 long medial setae; antennae 1–2 subequal to each other in length, about as long as head and pereonites 1–6 together, flagella about half as long as peduncles, accessory flagellum about 4-articulate; coxa 1 sharply angular at anteroventral corner, coxae otherwise normal and not enlarged; article 6 of gnathopod 1 subrectangular, not expanded, palm lacking defining spine, article 5 of gnathopods 1–2 with 2–3 stout anterior spines; palm of gnathopod 2 oblique and short, dactyl overriding palm, palm with locking bulge near finger, then slightly excavate and with slight protrusion before becoming widely excavate, defining corner scarcely projecting, medial surface with enormous spine; article 2 of pereopods 3–5 slender and subrectangular; pleonal epimera 1–3 with slight posteroventral notch and tooth, not bulging strongly; urosomite 1 with one lateral seta, urosomite 2 with about 4 submarginal lateral setae, no teeth or notches; outer ramus of uropod 3 with a small article 2; telson only weakly excavate dorsally.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—JLB Hawaii 10, Kaneohe Bay, Oahu, 2 m, Pocillopora, 23 February 1967.

MATERIAL.—JLB Hawaii 10 (11), 14 (1).

RELATIONSHIP.—This species belong with the G. afra-atlantica group of the genus because the outer ramus of uropod 3 has a minute second article, but because few species of Gammaropsis have been decidedly examined for this character, one cannot determine how extensively distributed is the character nor what relationships it may signify. No male of G. pali is as mature as, nor as well developed as, the adult females collected, so that relationships with males of other species are cloudy.

Gammaropsis pali differs from G. afra and G. atlantica in the shapes of the eye and cephalic lobe, in the simple urosomites 1–2 having only submarginal setae, in the presence of a large molarial flake on the right mandible, the thin rectangular article 2 of pereopods 3–5, and in the stout anterior spines on the wrists of the gnathopods.

The new species resembles females of G. semidentatus (K. H. Barnard, 1916) from South Africa but differs in the narrow article 2 of pereopods 3–5.

Affinities with G. japonica (Nagata, 1961b) occur in view of the narrow article 2 of pereopods 3–5 on females and the shape of gnathopod 2, but G. pali differs from G. japonica in the absence of small teeth on urosomites 1–2, the nearly straight, unbulging posterior margin of epimeron 3, and in the unproduced epistome.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

Gammaropsis pokipoki, new species

FIGURES 119, 120

DIAGNOSIS.—Lateral cephalic lobes strongly extended and thick, bluntly triangular in front, antenna 2 deeply recessed along ventral cephalic margin; eyes large, subcircular, with a black core surrounded by clear ommatidia; epistome rounded anteriorly; right mandibular molar with long seta, both molars with basal rugosities but no flakes; inner plate of maxilla 1 with 4–5 medial setae; antenna 1 slightly longer than antenna 2, about as long as head and first 8 body segments together, flagella more than three-fourths as long as peduncles, accessory flagellum 3-articulate; coxa 1 bluntly angular at anteroventral corner, coxae otherwise normal and not enlarged; article 6 of gnathopod 1 an elongate trapezoid, not expanded, article 5 of both pairs of gnathopods smooth anteriorly; gnathopod 2 small, palm oblique in both sexes, short, deeply excavate in male and aberrant females, bearing enormous spine, palm defined by conical protrusion and excavation bounded distally by similar protrusion, dactyl slender and overextending palm, female palm normally scarcely excavate; article 2 of pereopods 3–5 expanded and pyriform; pleonal epimera 1–3 with slight posteroventral tooth, posterior margins strongly bulging; urosomites 1–2 each with 1 dorsolateral seta, otherwise simple; rami of uropod 3 about 1.5 times as long as peduncle, outer with small article 2; telson only weakly excavate dorsally.

HOLOTYPE.—Bishop Museum collections, catalog number 7383, female, 2.6 mm.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—JLB Hawaii 6, off Barbers Point, Oahu, 30 m, coralline footballs, 29 January 1967.

MATERIAL.—JLB Hawaii 5 (4), 6 (2), 10 (6), 12 (?1).

RELATIONSHIP.—This species has its closest affinities with the G. atlantica-afra complex and G. pali, for it differs from Hawaiian G. alamoana in the setose inner plate of maxilla 1 and in the presence of a second article on the outer ramus of uropod 3. Gammaropsis pokipoki has few qualitative characters to distinguish it from the 3 species mentioned above, but nevertheless stands out sharply when encountered in various samples. The body and antennae are long and thin, the head shallow and very smooth, and the large circular eye with black core surrounded by clear ommatidia immediately marks the species from all its congeners except G. haleiwa, new species, (which see for relationships). Gammaropsis atlantica and G. afra have no dark pigment in the eyes and have more complex and larger gnathopods and weakly ornamented urosomites 1–2.

Gnathopod 2 of G. pokipoki resembles that of G. pali very closely but the head, eyes, and antennae are very different and G. pali has a distinct molarial flake, thicker body, shorter rami of uropod 3, and narrow second articles on pereopods 3–5.

Female and juvenile individuals of G. pokipoki closely resemble their counterparts of Konatopus paao, for the heads and eyes have strong similarities, but careful examination shows gnathopod 1 of Konatopus to be very slightly larger than gnathopod 2, and the eyes retain reddish or pale brown pigment instead of black.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

HOLOTYPE.—Bishop Museum collections, catalog number 7284, male, 2.5 mm.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—JLB Hawaii 3, off Ewa Beach, Oahu, 18 m, Pocillopora, bryozoans, 29 January 1967.

MATERIAL.—JLB Hawaii 2 (34), 3 (88), 5 (11), 6 (40), 8(180).

RELATIONSHIP.—This species resembles those members of Photis with long ocular lobes like P. dolichommata Stebbing (1910) and P. lamellifera Schellenberg (1928). The latter species is distinguished by the shorter article 5 of gnathopod 1, being only half as long as article 6. Photis aina differs from P. dolichommata in the slightly stouter pereopods 3–5, shorter antennae, longer article 5 of gnathopod 2, broader article 6, lack of spines on the inner ramus of uropod 1, and the slightly longer inner ramus of uropod 3. Photis aina and P. dolichommata resemble each other in the unusual shape of coxa 5.

Photis aina has weak affinities with P. longicaudata (Bate and Westwood) (Sars, 1895, pl. 203, fig. 1) as gnathopod 2 has approximately the same outline, but this general shape is fairly common in the genus, especially in juveniles of various species with stronger ornamentation in terminal stages. The ocular lobes arc much shorter and/or broader in P. longicaudata than in P. aina, but several decades ago those ocular lobes of the former species were considered extreme. Coxa 5 of P. aina is distinct from the normal shape in P. longicaudata.

The so-called P. longicaudatus (Bate and Westwood) of Walker (1904) and K. H. Barnard (1916), which probably represents a distinct species, also apparently has the normal coxa 5, and P. longimanus Walker has a normal coxa 5, presumably. Gnathopod 2 of the male is far more ornamented in those Ceylonese-South African species than it is in P. aina; perhaps the terminal male of P. aina has not been discovered.

Photis species of Pirlot (1938) from the Celebes has a normal coxa 5, slender articles 2–6 of pereopods 3–5, a strong anteroventral lobe on article 2 of gnathopod 2, and weak coxal setation.

In Hawaii, this species differs from P. hawaiensis J. L. Barnard (1955a) and P. kapapa new species, in the strong setation of the coxae, the long inner ramus, and, relative to the peduncle, the short outer ramus of uropod 3, and the stoutness of pereopods 3–5. Male gnathopod 2 of P. hawaiensis has a very oblique palm and large mammilliform process on article 2, and the oval eyes fully occupy the lateral cephalic lobes. Male gnathopod 2 of P. kapapa has a much broadened palm, a process on article 2, and like P. hawaiensis, but unlike P. aina, has stridulation ridges on one or more coxae and on article 2 of gnathopod 2.

Photis aina resembles the deep-water eastern Pacific subgenus Cedrophotis (J. L. Barnard, 1967) in the long inner ramus of uropod 3 and the relatively long peduncle, but the upper lip of Cedrophotis is much more deeply incised, and the inner lobes of the lower lip are partially coalesced. Probably, P. aina shows the unsuitability of the Cedrophotis concept and demonstrates that in isolated environments, various species of Photis independently develop simplifications or aberrations.

RELATIONSHIP.—This species appears similar to Photis species of Pirlot (1938) from the Celebes, a taxon that Pirlot considered synonymous with Walker′s (1904) so-called P. longicaudata (Bate) from Ceylon. Adult males of Photis kapapa have a more strongly extended defining tooth on the palm of gnathopod 2, and weaker and less sharp distal protrusion near the base of the dactyl than does Photis species, and bear stridulating ridges on gnathopod 2 and coxae.

Family ISCHYROCERIDAE

Ischyrocerus (?) kapu, new species

FIGURE 126

DESCRIPTION.—Aspect generally like that of Jassa lilipuna, new species, but coxae all shorter, coxa 1 as long as 2 and coxa 5 as long as 4, thus, assignable provisionally to Ischyrocerus; eyes, head, mandible, maxillae, maxillipeds, uropods 1–2, telson all similar to those of J. lilipuna; pereopods 3–5 and antennae unknown, missing from all specimens; gnathopod 1 with only one defining spine on palm, dactyl very long and slender, overlapping palm; coxa 1 trapezoidal, coxae 2–4 much shorter than broad; male gnathopod 2 with broadly lobate articles 2–3, article 4 immensely produced posterodistally to form substitute palmar defining tooth, article 5 triangular and enclosed posteriorly by article 4, article 6 elongate, apically broadened, lacking defining tooth on palm, latter occuping entire posterior margin of article 6, distal end of palm with 2 large processes separated by deep, flat-bottomed excavation, proximal tooth subconical, distal process spinose and asymmetrically triangular, dactyl very long and strongly overlapping palm and process of article 4; article 6 of pereopods 1–2 longer and more slender than article 6 of J. lilipuna, bearing only 2 posterior setae, no locking spines, dactyl long and simple; rami of uropod 3 much longer than on J. lilipuna, outer with about 12 very minute serrations visible generally on oil immersion lens only, inner ramus longer than outer and bearing 1 apical spinule.

HOLOTYPE.—Bishop Museum collections, catalog number 7286, male, 1.4 mm.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—JLB Hawaii 10, Kaneohe Bay, Oahu, 2 m, Pocillopora, 23 February 1967.

MATERIAL.—JLB Hawaii 3 (1), 6 (1), 10 (male, 1.4 mm, figured).

REMARKS.—The immense process of article 4 on gnathopod 2 distinguishes this species from other members of Ischyrocerus, although several species of that primarily boreal genus have small processes occurring on that article. Perhaps the process has generic value and this species would represent an endemic Hawaiian genus derived from a boreal member of Ischyrocerus. The coxae do not correspond to those of Microjassa, and the absence of material with pereopods and antennae prevents me from establishing die true affinities of the species.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

Ischyrocerus oahu, new species

FIGURE 127

DESCRIPTION.—Following characters like Jassa lilipuna, new species; head, eyes, antennae, uropods 1–2, mandible and stout palp, maxillae, maxillipeds, telson; coxae of male very short, especially coxae 3–4 broader than long, but coxa 2 enlarged and longer than either 1 or 3, ventral margins straight, coxa 1 nearly quadrate anteroventrally, coxa 5 as long as 4 or slightly longer; gnathopods of female like those of Jassa lilipuna, new species, but lacking comb-row on dactyls; article 5 of gnathopod 1 about three-fourths as long as article 6, latter slightly more broadened than in J. lilipuna; gnathopod 2 of terminal male with weakly but broadly lobate article 2, article 3 grossly lobate and spinose, article 4 unproduced, article 5 short but produced to free, blunt posterior lobe unlike other Hawaiian ischyrocerus-jassa species, article 6 greatly elongate and midposteriorly setose its full length, bearing weak bilobate distal process, palm and posterior margin of article 6 confluent and slightly concave, dactyl long, about as long as article 6, inner margin trisinuous, with 2 weak basal protrusions; gnathopod 2 of young male with much shorter, simple, stout dactyl, short and relatively stouter article 6 with nearly straight posterior margin, but with weakly bilobate distal protrusion forming palm, article 3 smooth; pereopods 1–2 normally slender compared with J. lilipuna, article 6 and dactyl long, but with 3 stout posterior spines and terminal seta, distalmost 2 spines coupled with senile, no locking spines per se; pereopod 4 narrow, scarcely expanded article 2 lacking posteroventral lobe and armament similar to J. lilipuna, but dactyl lacking comb-row, anterodistal end of article 6 with 1 subterminal spine and pair of locking spines, medial spine smaller than lateral (only latter drawn in figure); rami of uropod 3 longer than on J. lilipuna, but outer ramus often projecting laterally so as to appear even shorter, but outer ramus distinctly shorter than inner, bearing 4–7 small denticles.

Specimen, JLB Hawaii 6: g, apices of outer and inner rami on uropod 3, left to right.

Young male, JLB Hawaii 17: k, medial gnathopod 2; l, uropod 3 and telson from lateral view.

Only the slight disproportionate enlargement of coxa 2 suggests a classificatory difference of I. oahu from other members of Ischyrocerus; in terms of male gnathopod 2 palm and dactyl, I. oahu is as close to the very common boreal I. anguipes Krøyer as to any other. Male I. oahu differs from that species in the slightly shorter coxae 3–4, slightly larger coxa 2, absence of a process on article 4 of gnathopod 2, bifidation of the palmar process, reduction in setosity of pereopods, and decrease in width of article 2 on pereopod 4 (3 and 5 unknown in I. oahu), and in the general equalization of male antennae 1–2. A resemblance especially in gnathopod 2 to I. commensalis Chevreux, I. dezhnevi Gurjanova, I. krascheninnikovi Gurjanova, and I. chamissoi Gurjanova occurs, but I. oahu differs from all except the latter, according to the key in Gurjanova (1951), by the relatively short rami of uropod 3. The equal antennae in the male of I. oahu differentiate it from I. chamissoi. One must disregard male gnathopod 2 differences until all of these species have been thoroughly studied and the various stages of development elucidated.

HOLOTYPE.—Bishop Museum collections, catalog number 7287, male, 1.2 mm.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—JLB Hawaii 10, Kaneohe Bay, Oahu, 2 m, Pocillopora, 23 February 1967.

MATERIAL.—JLB Hawaii 10(4), 15(1), 17(9).

RELATIONSHIP.—Although gnathopod 2 has more of the characteristics of an Ischyrocerus than does that of Jassa lilipuna and Ischyrocerus kapu, the relative difference between the lengths of coxae 1–2 suggests affinities of I. oahu with various species of Microjassa. But coxae 3–4 are very short, and coxa 5 is even slightly longer than 4, quite in contrast to the type-species of Microjassa, M. cumbrensis (Stebbing and Robertson). Jassa lilipuna is not firmly assignable to Microjassa for the same reason, even though coxae 2–4 are elongate as in M. cumbrensis. But several species of Ischyrocerus have coxae 2–4 elongate, with coxa 5 short, even though coxa 4 is not excavate for the reception of coxa 5 as in the type-species of Microjassa.

MATERIAL.—Nine specimens from the type-locality on Ulva and 20 specimens from Sargassum and 4 from Padina.

REMARKS.—females have a maximum of 3 large eggs.

RELATIONSHIP.—Jassa lilipuna fits the genus Jassa much better than it does Microjassa even though coxa 1 is slightly shorter than coxa 2, for coxa 5 is as long as coxa 4, and coxae 2–4 are not greatly enlarged as in the type-species, M. cumbrensis (Stebbing and Robertson), M. macrocoxa Shoemaker, and M. litotes J. L. Barnard. The debatable species is M. litotes J. L. Barnard (1954b) that was later shifted to Ischyrocerus and then returned to Microjassa (J. L. Barnard, 1969a). Microjassa litotes may indeed deserve a genus of its own, for it differs from the other microjassas and Jassa in the absence of any palmer tooth on male gnathopod 2 and coxa 5 is not as short as originally believed. But M. litotes differs from Ischyrocerus and Jassa in the posterodorsally excavate coxa 4 and from Parajassa in the large accessory flagellum.

The presence of the proximal palmar tooth on male gnathopod 2 is a good generic character used by Stebbing (1906) to differentiate Jassa and Ischyrocerus. Thus, J. lilipuna differs from Parajassa in accessory flagellum and from Micro jassa in coxae 2–5.

The description of a new species in Jassa poses problems in terms of Sexton and Reid’s (1951) lengthy dissertation on the multiform character of Jassa falcata (Montagu). They synonymized many species, and one might gather from the diversity of form demonstrated in J. falcata that the few remaining species Sexton and Reid did not mention might also fit into the J. falcata complex. Jassa lilipuna does have its closest relationship with J. falcata according to Stebbing’s (1906) key if one pursues the necessary synonymy. According to Sexton and Reid’s description of general characters in J. falcata, J. lilipuna would differ in: the sharp cephalic lobe, the poorly angular coxa 1, the moderately long bilobed coxa 2 in terminal male, the absence of a small cusp on the posteroventral corner of pleonal epimeron 3, the palm of gnathopod 1 lacking angular definition, the smallness of female gnathopod 2, the weakly expanded and poorly produced article 4 of pereopods 1–2 (in J. falcata article 4 is so produced as to cover the anterior edge of article 5), and the longer peduncle of uropod 3.

The extremely small size, smooth shiny body, and overall appearance of J. lilipuna suggest very little direct relationship with J. falcata, but indicate that J. lilipuna and J. falcata have had diverse phylogenies and simply appear together into the same genus as a result of convergence in a few characters.

Californian populations of J. falcata have a partially immersed but articulate spine on the apex of the outer ramus on uropod 3, a character necessarily seen with extremely high power microscopy. Its worldwide presence in all populations of all species of Jassa has not been documented, but it may form an important character that would demonstrate the discontinuity between J. lilipuna and J. falcata and possibly necessitate the removal of J. lilipuna from Jassa.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

Parajassa angularis Shoemaker

FIGURES 131, 132

Parajassa angularis Shoemaker, 1942, pp. 41–44, figs. 14, 15—J. L. Barnard, 1962a, p. 58, figs. 26, 27.

Described from Magdalena Bay, Baja California by Shoemaker and recorded by Barnard from the northern margins of southern California, this species extends the full length of the northeastern Pacific warm-temperate province. The specimens described from one end of the range differ from those at the other end significantly, but it is too early to suggest that these extremes, or those populations from Hawaii, deserve any nomenclatural distinction. Specimens from Hawaii fit those from the northern end of the warm-temperate more than those from the southern end. A cline may occur in that range and both northern and Hawaiian specimens are slightly smaller than that specimen figured by Shoemaker from the southern warm-temperate locality.

The Magdalenian types have the palmar defining tooth on gnathopod 2 occurring much farther toward the proximal end of article 6 and standing more erectly at right angles to the axis of the appendage than in Californian specimens. Most Hawaiian individuals resemble Californian specimens in this character, but a few of the largest (3.5 mm) have that tooth approaching the Magdalenian condition. Magdalenian specimens also have a distinct scalelike tooth on the apex of the outer ramus of uropod 2, not seen in other populations.

Ramal apices of uropod 3 in California specimens have one hooked spine each, whereas in Hawaiian specimens the outer ramus has 2 nonarticulate hooks and 2 minute seniles, and in Magdalenian material the outer ramus has 3 small nonarticulate hooks.

FIGURE 131.—Parajassa angularis Shoemaker, male, 2.1 mm, JLB Hawaii 2: a, lateral view of body. Female, 3.2 mm: b, c, outer and inner rami of uropod 3; d, e, pereopods 3, 5; f, head and epistome-labral process (stippled behind antenna 2 base); g, apex of pereopod 3; h, telson and uropod 3; i, accessory flagellum on article 3 of antenna 1; j, pereopod 2. Another specimen: k, apex of inner ramus on uropod 3.

The inner ramus of Hawaiian specimens has a jewel-like spine nearly immersed and coalesced with the apex, and some specimens seem to have only a pit that fits the shape of that jewel spine; possibly the spine has been lost during preservation. The inner ramus of Magdalenian specimens has a thin apical spinule like Californian specimens.

COLOR IN 2-DAY FORMALDEHYDE.—Antennae clear but reflecting brown of body; head and pereonites 1–3 purple, remainder of body brown or gold; gnathopod 2 mostly covered with brown pigment; eggs pale buff.

MATERIAL.—JLB Hawaii 2 (16), 8 (7).

HAWAIIAN FAUNISTICS.—This species and Ventojassa ventosa were not suspected to be present in the Hawaiian fauna prior to this study. They are enigmatic. Ventojassa ventosa, heretofore put in the Isaeidae as a member of Eurystheus, is now shown to be a monotypic ischyrocerid with unknown relationships, but Parajassa angularis belongs to a genus with 4 species all previously recorded from nontropical shores (Europe, South Georgia Islands, Tristan da Cunha, and the Californias). Unless Parajassa has been grossly overlooked in Indo-Pacific tropical waters, it should mark the cool water influence in the Hawaiian fauna. Cool waters would include those of warm-temperate regions in this context.

FIGURE 132.—Parajassa angularis Shoemaker, female, 3.2 mm, JLB Hawaii 2: a, urosome; b, mandibular molar enlarged and flattened to show molar flake; c, apex of gnathopod 2, medial; d, dactyl of gnathopod 1; e, dactyl of gnathopod 2; f, apex of gnathopod 1; g, mandibular palp; h, dactyl of pereopod 5.

Parajassa angularis and Ventojassa ventosa resemble each other strongly in color and superficial morphology and occur together in gross samples; it is of considerable interest that together they have crossed the wide ocean gap between North America and Hawaii. The direction of this movement is, of course, unknown and could be of complex status. Hawaii could possibly be the evolutionary ground for one of the species which then returned to the mainland—or perhaps both—and finally there is a possibility that Ventojassa ventosa is a product of the parajassid line of evolution; they are the only ischyrocerids known to me with any uropodal setae, although Ventojassa is a poor example in having only 1–3 week setae on the outer ramus of uropod 3.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaii and warm temperate California-Mexico.

Ventojassa, new genus

DIAGNOSIS.—Ischyrocerid with normal-sized overlapping coxae, coxa 1 not reduced, coxa 5 as long as 4 and much longer than coxa 6; gnathopod 2 larger than 1; pereopods 3–5 simple, second articles ovate, trapezoidal or slightly broadened, not narrowly linear; fourth articles of approximately equal breadth; palp articles 5 and 6 gnathopod 1 subequal in length; outer plate of maxilla 1 with 9 or more spines; accessory flagellum elongate, 2 or 3-articulate; gnathopod 2 similar in both sexes with oblique palm defined by a cusp and with 1–2 other palmar teem, and 2 large palmar spines, but not like that of Jassa male with enormous proximal palmar tooth; outer ramus of uropod 3 in adults with 1–3 mediomarginal setae, apex slightly hooked, and bearing 2 (occasionally 3) immersed setules.

TYPE-SPECIES.—Eurystheus ventosa J. L. Barnard (1962a).

RELATIONSHIP.—In juvenile stages, the unique species of this genus resembles Ischyrocerus Krøyer and Jassa Leach mainly in uropod 3, but in adults the outer ramus acquires 1–3 marginal setae not found in the other 2 genera. Second gnathopods of males are intermediate between those of Ischyrocerus and Jassa, and the genus has so many resemblances to Parajassa Stebbing, especially to P. angularis Shoemaker (1942), that one might consider them as morphological mimics. Yet a major character, the vestigial accessory flagellum, distinguishes Parajassa, and numerous fine details distinguish P. angularis from V. ventosa. The latter species is transferred from the family Isaeidae. At the time of its establishment, J. L. Barnard considered it probable that E. ventosa should be ranked with the Ischyroceridae, and a study of uropod 3 and the mandibles now indicates its proper position.

DIAGNOSIS.—With the characters of the genus.

DESCRIPTIVE NOTES (and see figures).—Lateral cephalic lobes short but triangular, appearing superficially rounded, but anterior margin with sharp flange-like extension becoming sharper in adults; accessory flagellum either 2 or 3-articulate, terminal article very small; gland cone long and sharp; epistome sharp and projecting, of medium length; mandibular molar with typical ischyrocerid flake; article 6 of gnathopod 1 strongly expanded distally; gnathopod 2 palm with 3 short teeth, 1 tooth defining palm; second articles of pereopods 1–2 slender, article 4 slender and unproduced anterodistally, anterior margin of article 2 on pereopod 3 scarcely setose, article 6 with 2 or 3 large spines or sets of spines near dactyl; epimeron 3 with strong posteroventral notch; uropods 1–2 without lateral peduncular setae; lower lip, maxilla 2 and maxilliped like Ischyrocerus anguipes Krøyer (Sars, 1895, pl. 209), inner plate of maxilla 1 with 1 seta; sexes alike, gnathopod 2 of female large like that of male; juveniles 1.0-1.5 mm long, lacking setae on outer ramus of uropod 3; telson usually with only 1 pair of lateral hooks even in adult but occasional specimens with 2 pairs or 1 on one side, 1 pair on other.

COLOR IN 2-DAY FORMALDEHYDE.—Antennae reddish-pink; head and pereonites 1–3 muddy purple, remainder of body bronze but fading toward posterior end; gnathopod 2 white, with sparse splotches of brown; embryos in eggs orange; eyes dark brown or black, changing to definite black in alcohol.

MATERIAL.—JLB Hawaii 2 (69), 3 (7), 5 (3), 8 (14). Devaney 1 (1).

REMARKS.—The descriptive notes distinguish this species primarily from Parajassa angularis Shoemaker (1942), a sympatriot both in Hawaii and Baja California. The two species resemble each other so much in overall appearance that one might consider them “mimics” if there were not significant morphological differences and color differences. These morphological differences are difficult to see with a stereoscope during the sorting process, but individuals mounted in a depression slide may be rapidly identified by noting the absence of peduncular setae on uropods 1–2 of Ventojassa, the sparsity of setae on pereopod 3, the thin article 2 of pereopods 1–2, and the distinctive setae (in adults) on the outer ramus of uropod 3. Lateral cephalic lobes, gnathopods, accessory flagella, primary flagella, and pleonal epimeron 3 also differ between the two species; but pereopods and antennae are often broken.

Hawaiian specimens of this species reach about 3.2 mm in length; adults from California as large as 4 mm have been reported; those adults have 3 pairs of telsonic hooks. No gross differences from Californian material occur in Hawaiian specimens, but careful comparison of microscopic details may show consistent differences in the apex of the outer ramus of uropod 3, the notch of pleonal epimeron 3, and the cuspidorial symmetry on the palm of gnathopod 2.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands, and warm-temperate California.

Family LEUCOTHOIDAE

Leucothoe hyhelia J. L. Barnard

MATERIAL.—JLB Hawaii 2 (1), 3 (4), 5 (2), 8 (2), 10 (2), 11 (1), 13 (20), 14 (1), 15 (1). Devaney 1 (2).

COLOR IN 2-DAY FORMALDEHYDE.—Either albinid with red eye, or bearing narrow vertical stripes at segmental junctions from head-pereonite 1 to pleonites 2–3, these stripes fading rapidly in alcohol, and eyes fading to a rusty pink central core surrounded by clear ommatidia.

REMARKS.—The Hawaiian populations have at least 2 phenotypes, those with a protuberant posteroventral corner of epimeron 3 or perfectly rounded-quadrate. Three differences of possible subspecific value occur in the Hawaiian material in comparison with the unique male type known from Micronesia but until Micronesian populations are more thoroughly studied I reserve any subspecific appellation. The Micronesian holotype has a shorter dactyl on gnathopod 1, a slightly stronger cusp on epimeron 1, and faint setules on the chela of gnathopod 1. Gnathopods of this species and the otherwise very different L. tridens are virtually identical. The diagnoses demonstrate the divergencies in head, anterior keel, coxae, pereopods 3–5, and epimeron.

DISTRIBUTION.—Micronesia and the Hawaiian Islands.

Leucothoe lihue, new species

FIGURE 136

DIAGNOSIS.—Article 3 of antenna 1 about one-third as long as article 1, article 1 with obsolescent terminal cusps; rostrum small, midanterior keel with small, sharp cusp at ventral end, lateral cephalic lobe obtusely angular; eyes medium to large, round, red in formaldehyde; coxa 1 scarcely beveled anteriorly, coxae 2–4 longer than wide, anteroventral corners not beveled, posterior margin of coxa 4 long and deeply excavate dorsally, ventral margin sloping obliquely downward; gnathopod 1 of stout form, short, article 6 only about 130 percent as long as anterior margin of article 5, dactyl very short, apposing margins of articles 5 and 6 macroscopically smooth; gnathopod 2 with widely cusp-shaped article 6 tapering strongly toward distal end, palm with several sinuations and bicastellate distal process, dactyl apically blunt and slightly bent distally, lobe on article 5 with villus-like apical extension, article 2 with mammilliform anteroventral hump, anteromedial face of article 6 with long row of setae; pereopods 1–2 simple; article 2 of pereopods 3–5 broadened, proximally commencing to be ovate but posteroventral margins, especially of pereopods 4–5, strongly beveled and oblique, margin of pereopod 5 concave; pleonal epimeron 1 with rounded-quadrate posteroventral edge bearing 2 widely spaced weak serrations; epimeron 2 with strong, sharp tooth, epimeron 3 rounded-quadrate; (uropod 3 missing, thus relationships of uropod 2 unknown); telson elongate, triangular, apex minutely trilobate.

HOLOTYPE.—Bishop Museum collections, catalog number 7289, male, 3.3 mm.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—Devaney 1, off MokuManu, Oahu, 33 m, stem of black coral, 13 May 1967.

MATERIAL.—Five specimens from the type-locality.

RELATIONSHIP.—In Hawaii, this species is clearly distinguished from the other 2 known species in the form of gnathopod 1 with short articles 6 and 7.

Leucothoe lihue is very close to L. alata J. L. Barnard (1959) from California and may exist as a subspecies of that entity. There are several differences in the Hawaiian population of a quantitative extent in character expression and one character probably of qualitative value. The article bearing the outer plate on the maxillipeds is not alate as it is in L. alata. Other character differences of minor extent in L. lihue are: the cephalic lobe is slightly more angular; pleonal epimeron 2 is slightly more protuberant at the posteroventral corner; coxa 1 is less strongly beveled; article 6 of gnathopod 1 lacks the minute beads on the posterior margin; and article 2 of pereopod 5 is broader and distinctly concave on the posteroventral oblique margin.

FIGURE 136.—Leucothoe lihue, new species, holotype, male, 3.3 mm, Devaney 1: a, head; b, coxa 4; c, apex of telson; d, telson; e, lateral cephalic lobe (hatched) and epistome-labrum; f, g, gnathopods 1, 2; h, maxilliped; i, j, k, pereopods 5, 3, 4; l, left mandibular incisor; m, maxilla 2; n, article 1 of antenna 1; o, apex of gnathopod 1, enlarged; p, pleonal epimera 2–3.

Leucothoe minuscula Schellenberg (1938) has a grossly ornamented palm on gnathopod 2, coxa 1 is obtusely pointed anteroventrally, and article 2 of pereopod 5 is not excavate.

Leucothoe brevidigitata Miers (see L. flindersi Stebbing, 1888) has a very large mandibular palp and narrow incisor, and article 3 of antenna 1 is half as long as article 1.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

Leucothoe tridens Stebbing, 1888, pp. 777–779, pl. 47; Schellenberg, 1938, pp. 21–23, fig. 11.

DIAGNOSIS.—Article 3 of antenna 1 about 35 percent as long as article 1, article 1 with strong terminal cusps; rostrum obsolescent, midanterior cephalic keel sharply pointed at ventral end, lateral cephalic lobe with sinuous anterior margin and weak to strong anterior cusp, becoming better developed in terminal adults; eyes of medium size, round; coxa 1 with rounded anteroventral corner, scarcely beveled, coxae 2–4 wider than long, short, anteroventral corners of coxae 2 and 4 almost quadrate and slightly attenuate, corner of coxa 2 rounded, posterior margin of coxa 4 short and nonexcavate, ventral margin sloping obliquely upward; gnathopod 1 of typical form, with long dactyl, posterior margin of article 6 with wavelike serrations 3 times as large as small round beads of apposing margin on chela of article 5, article 6 otherwise bearing 3–6 marginal setules, article 5 otherwise smooth; gnathopod 2 of typical form, palmar margin of nearly smooth, untoothed variety, weakly undulate near finger hinge, anteromedial face with long row of setae; pereopods 1–2 simple; article 2 of pereopods 3–5 evenly ovate; pleonal epimeron 1 with rounded-quadrate posteroventral corner, epimeron 2 with rounded-quadrate or slightly protuberant corner (variable), epimeron 3 with weakly convex posterior margin and rounded-quadrate posteroventral corner; uropod 2, inner ramus extending only two-thirds to three-fourths along peduncle of uropod 3; telson of medium length, ovatoconiform, with weak terminal trilobation.

MATERIAL.—JLB Hawaii 6 (9), 10 (1), 12 (1), 13(3).

COLOR IN 2-DAY FORMALDEHYDE.—Body a diffuse burnt orange or golden (fading), eye red to bright garnet.

REMARKS.—The Hawaiian populations of this species differ from those of the Gilbert Islands and Philippine Islands (Schellenberg, 1938) and the type-material (Stebbing, locality presumably erroneous) by the strongly projecting middle member of the trilobation on the telson.

DISTRIBUTION.—Tropical Pacific.

Leucothoides ?pottsi Shoemaker

FIGURE 138

?Leucothoides pottsi Shoemaker, 1933a, pp. 249–250, fig. 3—Schellenberg 1938, pp. 26–28, fig. 13.

MATERIAL.—JLB Hawaii 2(4), 3(3), 6(1), 8(1), 10(6), 13(6), 14(1).

REMARKS.—Described from Tortugas Islands in the Caribbean Sea, this species was reported by Schellenberg from the Gilbert and Marshall Islands in Micronesia. Schellenberg’s figures and description correspond to those of Shoemaker in head, coxae 1, 2, 4, article 6 of gnathopod 2, and vaguely in gnathopod 1. But the anterior margin of article 5 on gnathopod 2 is longer and the posterior lobe of article 5 stouter in Micronesian material than in the type-material. Antennae of Micronesian specimens are subequal in length. Schellenberg did not clearly illustrate the details of the carpal process of gnathopod 1 and Shoemaker may not have clearly delineated the submergence of the distal spines. In material at hand from Hawaii, the apex of that carpal process has 2 partially immersed spines, one long and one medium in length; the long spine has a distal ornament and both are minutely serrate on one edge. Shoemaker illustrated a distal ornament on a short spine, but a declivity on die carpal process in his drawing indicates the possible boundary of the immersed spine. Schellenberg’s drawing was not sufficiently enlarged to show any of these details. Hawaiian specimens have the fifth article of gnathopod 2 elongated like that of Micronesian material.

Comparison of minute details among the three populations, Caribbean, Micronesian, and Hawaiian probably would demonstrate differences of subspecific magnitude at least. Hawaiian specimens, unlike those from the Caribbean and Micronesian areas, have the distally attenuate portion of coxa 1 broadened.

DISTRIBUTION.—Caribbean Sea, Micronesia, Hawaiian Islands.

MATERIAL.—JLB Hawaii 2(7), 3(10), 5(6), 6(9), 8(2), 10(1), 11(4), 13(1).

RELATIONSHIP.—This is the only species so far described in the genus with 3 dorsal denticules each on pleonites 1–2 and no denticles on other pleonites. Apart from dentations this species has affinities with L. proxima Chevreux (1908, and see Schellenberg, 1938) from Gambier Archipelago and the Marshall Islands. That species has one denticle each on pleonites 1–2 and 4, a distinct sinus above the tooth of epimeron 3, no tooth on epimeron 1, and equally extending subapices of the telson.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

FIGURE 141

DIAGNOSIS.—Eyes large, black; mandibular palp article 3 very slightly longer than article 1; lateral cephalic lobe long, apically truncate; coxa 1 with small posteroventral notch, coxa 4 projecting ventrally more than in other species of genus, bearing 3 posteroventral serrations; palms of gnathopods evenly convex, dactyl of gnathopod 1 with 3–4 basal teeth, dactyl of gnathopod 2 with 6–7 teeth, gnathopod 1 large, dactyls of gnathopods apically flagellate; pereopods 1 and 2 simple, posteroventral end of article 6 armed with 7–9 thin short setae; article 2 of pereopods 3–5 weakly serrate posteriorly, posteroventral corners smooth and rounded; telson slit nearly to base, each apex with short notch, subapices asymmetrically extended, lateral longer than medial; medial edge of peduncle of uropod 1 with only 1 distal spine; only pleonites 1–2 each armed with 3 small dorsal cusps; pleonal epimera 1–3 each with 1 small posteroventral tooth, that tooth on epimeron 3 forming part of deep sinus.

DESCRIPTION.—Outline of eye circular; rostrum evenly acute; mandible with spines reduced to 3 serrations, molar apparently absent; maxillipedal palp article 4 with very tiny distal nail; outer plate of maxilla 1 with 7 spines like L. heeia, new species, but all spines of equal length; comb-row on dactyl of gnathopod 2 very weak; midfacial palmar defining area of gnathopod 1 with no spines, of gnathopod 2 with 3 spines; articles 2 and 4 of pereopods 3–5 slightly broader than those of L. heeia; outer rami of uropods 1–2 with only 1 spine, outer ramus of uropod 2 slightly shorter than inner ramus, rami of uropod 3 very slender.

HOLOTYPE.—Bishop Museum collections, catalog number 7291, male 2.3 mm.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—JLB Hawaii 15, 1 mile north of Kualoa Point, Oahu, intertidal, block of ascidians, 23 May 1967.

MATERIAL.—Two specimens from the type-locality.

RELATIONSHIP.—This species has sculpture similar to that of Hawaiian L. heeia but differs in the nonpalmate pereopods 1–2, in the deeper sinus of pleonal epimeron 3, in the terminally flagellate dactyls of the gnathopods, the slender rami of uropod 3, and the circular eyes. Like L. heeia, this species also resembles L. proxima Chevreux (1908), especially in epimeron 3, the slender rami of uropod 3, and in pereopods 1–2 but differs from L. proxima by the longer article 6 of gnathopod 1, the flagellate gnathopodal dactyls, and the presence of teeth on the dactyl of gnathopod 1.

The mandible, with its very weak spine row and absence of molar, differs from any other species of Liljeborgia so far described.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

COLOR IN 2-DAY FORMALDEHYDE.—Body white, eyes brown.

HOLOTYPE.—Bishop Museum collections, catalog number 7292, female, ovigerous, 3.6 mm.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—JLB Hawaii 13, Kaneohe Bay, Oahu, 3–4 m, corals, algae, corallines, 8 April 1967.

MATERIAL.—JLB Hawaii 2 (1), 3 (7), 12 (2), 13 (9).

RELATIONSHIP.—This species has close affinities with Indonesian Lysianassa (=Arugella) heterodonta (Pirlot, 1936), but differs by the slightly tuberculate and unragged outer plate of the maxilliped, apparently by the longer dactyl of the maxillipedal palp, the slightly stronger spines in the small set on the outer plate of maxilla 1, the truncate (not rounded) telson, the presence of a slight protrusion on pleonal epimeron 2, and the unexcavate posterior margin on article 2 of pereopod 4.

The Caribbean L. cubensis (Stebbing, 1897; see Shoemaker, 1935a and Hurley, 1963) is another closely related species but L. ewa differs from it in the slightly larger dactyl of gnathopod 2, the more ovate inner plate of maxilla 1, the slightly narrower inner plate of maxilla 2, the unexcavate posterior margin on article 2 of pereopod 4, the more weakly developed inner ramus on uropod 2, the more strongly spinose mandibular molar, the absence of tiny spinules on the outer plate of the maxilliped, the slight protrusion on pleonal epimeron 2, and the presence of stout spines on article 6 of gnathopod 1. Lysianassa cubensis differs from L. heterodonta mainly in the truncate telson. These three species form a cohesive triad differing from other members of the genus in gross characters. For instance, the other tropical members of the genus have an elongated peduncle on uropod 3 and L. holmesi (J. L. Barnard, 1955b), the next nearest allopatriot to L. cwa, has equally wide plates on maxilla 2, a biarticulate outer ramus on uropod 2, and a slightly excavate telson with its armament all terminal. The lower lip of L. ewa resembles that of L. holmesi.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

HOLOTYPE.—Bishop Museum collections, catalog number 7293, female, 2.3 mm. Unique.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—JLB Hawaii 3, off Ewa Beach, Oahu, 18 m, Pocillopora, bryozoans, 29 January 1967.

RELATIONSHIP.—If Pirlot’s identification of O. innocens from Iles Aru, 13 m, proves to be erroneous, and if he had in reality another species, perhaps the one at hand, then O. alii differs from O. innocens not only in the following external characters but also in mouthparts. Ochlesis alii has a shorter article 2 on antenna 1 and shorter cusps on articles 1 and 2 than does O. innocens; the flagellum is longer; article 4 of antenna 2 has a long cusp; coxa 3 is much more strongly geniculate, coxa 4 is broader, shorter, deeply excavate anteriorly, and the ventral margin less deeply excavate than in O. innocens; coxa 7 has a deep posterior excavation; pleonite 3 is less strongly acute dorsally; the pereopodal dactyls are much shorter, the telson lacks a ventral tooth but has a keel. Mouthparts of O. alii differ from those of O. innocens as described by Stebbing (1910) in the triangular, not lobulate upper lip, the much broader extent over which the ornaments of the first maxilla extend, and the shorter but digitate processes of the lower lip. Stebbing may have overlooked the lacinia mobilis and molar, and there may be differences in the maxilliped not evident from his small figure. The dactyl of gnathopod 2 in O. alii seems much stouter and more rigid than that of O. innocens.

Ochlesis lenticulosus K. H. Barnard (1940) from the littoral of Simonstown, South Africa, has larger and sharper dorsal teeth on pleonites 1–3 and a smaller epimeron 3 than does O. alii. Coxae 1–6 of O. lenticulosus resemble those of O. alii, but coxa 4 is less strongly excavate anteriorly. Coxa 7 is not posteroventrally excavate in O. lenticulosus; the rostrum is thinner, the cephalic lobe blunter, and gnathopod 1 has a simpler morphology than in O. alii. Article 5 of gnathopod 1 is longer than 6 in O. lenticulosus, the lower lip is not apically bidigitate on either lobe, pereopod 1 has a proximal anterior lobe on article 4 apart from the normal lobe, and article 2 of pereopod 5 has a distal mammilliform lobe projecting posteriorly. Apparently, articles 1–3 of antenna 1 are equal in length, articles 1–2 are scarcely dentiform, the flagellum is very short, and article 4 of antenna 2 is not dentiform in O. lenticulosus. No palp occurs on maxilla 1 and apparently neither mandible has a lacinia mobilis in O. lenticulosus.

Ochlesis alii differs from O. levetzowi Schellenberg (1953) by the strong antennal cusps and the tooth of pleonal epimeron 3.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

Family OEDICEROTIDAE

Kanaloa, new genus

DIAGNOSIS.—Head very massive, with short, stout rostrum, eyes large, yellowish-orange in life, contiguous, occupying dorsal part of head and separated from each other by minute raphus; antennae short, antenna 1 reaching about halfway along flagellum of antenna 2, article 3 of antenna 1 more than half as long as article 1; mandibular incisor slightly projecting and with 1 or 2 teeth, molar large, mostly smooth but edges triturative, palp of medium size, articles 2–3 subequal in length, article 3 falcate; inner lobes of lower lip free; inner plate of maxilla 1 medially setose; maxillipedal palp very stout, scarcely exceeding outer plate, article 4 short, tumid, apically acute, bearing small subapical spine(s); coxa 1 of different shape than coxa 2, expanded midanteriorly, coxa 4 strongly excavate posterodorsally but midposterior lobe not strongly or acutely extended, coxa 5 much shorter than coxa 4; gnathopods 1–2 small, similar to each other in size and general morphology, but gnathopod 2 distinctly larger than 1, palms transverse, article 5 of gnathopod 1 broadly but shallowly lobate, lobe setose, article 6 narrower and shorter than 5, dactyl strongly overlapping simple palm, article 5 of gnathopod 2 truncate and asetose posteriorly, article 6 relatively longer than in gnathopod 1, dactyl fitting palm armed with large tooth-spines each bearing elephantine accessory setule; pereopods 1–2 simple, slender, weakly setose, pereopods 3–5 notably weakly setose, dactyl of pereopod 5 very stout and apically setose; uropods all extending equally, rami on uropods 1–2 bearing long terminal spines; telson square, truncate.

TYPE-SPECIES.—Kanaloa manoa, new species.

RELATIONSHIP.—This remarkable oedicerotid appears morphologically as if it had filled both an oedicerotid and a synopiid (tironid) niche in Hawaiian waters. Superficially it has the aspect of a tironid like Garosyrrhoe J. L. Barnard in its head and a reduction of pereopodal setae but, of course, the vestigial accessory flagellum, elongate peduncle of uropod 3, and short entire telson mark Kanaloa manoa as an oedicerotid. The family is confined to cold waters.

Kanaloa has affinities with Antarctic genera armed with medial setae on the inner plate of maxilla 1 and bearing weak gnathopods. It resembles Parhalimedon Chevreux (1906) and Methalimedon Schellenberg (1931) in its weak gnathopods, head, mandible, lower lip, maxilla 1, maxillipeds, and spines of uropods 1–2 but differs from those genera by: (1) the transverse palms of the gnathopods and the relative distinctions (not strong) between gnathopods 1 and 2 not occurring in the other genera; (2) the more strongly excavate coxa 4; (3) the equally extending uropods. Kanaloa differs more strongly from Methalimedon than from Parhalimedon in its falcate mandibular palp article 3 and slightly elongate article 3 of antenna 1. But the eyes of the type-species of Parhalimedon are supposed to be bilaterally paired and those of Methalimedon not, although J. L. Barnard (1961) has described a tropical Parhalimedon (Coral Sea, 230 m) with unpaired eyes. Article 2 on pereopod 5 of Parhalimedon is constricted ventrally, whereas in Methalimedon and Kanaloa it has a ventrally extended lobe.

Kanaloa resembles antiboreal Bathyporeiapus Schellenberg (1931), but the latter genus has a nearly simple, elongate gnathopod 2 with vestigial dactyl, a short mandibular palp article 3, and no setae on the inner plate of maxilla 1.

Carolobatea Stebbing (1899b) (see Halimedon schneideri Stebbing, 1888, pl. 59) from Kerguelen Island also is related to this group of genera and has a transverse palm on gnathopod 2, but the gnathopods are otherwise morphologically equal to each other and have small pendant posterior lobes on the fifth articles, and elongate coxa 5, weakly excavate coxa 4, elongate maxillipedal palp with thin article 4, generally stronger setation on the pereopods, and a mandibular palp typical of Westwoodilla Bate.

Exoediceros Stebbing (1899b), with 2 species in southeast Australia, has uropod 2 shortened, no dactyls on pereopods 1–2, and lobed fifth articles on both gnathopods 1–2.

No resemblance of Kanaloa exists toward oedicerotid genera occurring in the Northern Hemisphere or toward the one other tropically oriented genus, Perioculopsis Schellenberg.

Palinnotus alaniphlias, new species

FIGURES 148, 149, 150

DIAGNOSIS OF FEMALE.—Article 2 of pereopod 5 ovatoquadrate, very small and scarcely broader than article 3, lacking posterior keel, coxa 7 coalesced with pereonite 7; article 4 of pereopod 3 subquadrate or trapezoidal, article 4 of pereopod 5 subtriangular, thus distally expanded; outer plates of maxilliped large and extending equally with palp; maxilla 1 with small, flat, coniform palp.

DESCRIPTION.—Eyes black in alcohol; pereonites 1–7 with lateral bulges just above coxae, pleonites 1 and 2 with subdorsal bulge, pleonal epimera all rounded-quadrate at posteroventral corners, urosome with 3 segments, but segment 3 not visible dorsally; gnathopods 1–2 nearly equal in size, article 6 on gnathopod 1 medially furnished with asparagoid spines and numerous short prickles, gnathopod 2 lacking these; brood lamellae of female furnished with complex curl-tipped setae.

HOLOTYPE.—Bishop Museum collections, catalog number 7295, female, 3.4 mm.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—Fee 1, Waikiki Beach, Oahu, intertidal, Ulva lactuca, 25 April 1967.

MATERIAL.—The type-specimen and a female, 4.2 mm, from JLB Hawaii 17.

REMARKS.—Both specimens are females, the largest with 5 hatched juveniles fully occupying the brood pouch.

HATCHED JUVENILES.—These have the aspect of eophliantids more than of phliantids; body subcylindrical, lacking dorsal and lateral sculpture, head large, tall, broad, long, lateral lobes unprotruding and lateral margins long and weakly convex, eyes small, black; antenna 1 like that of adult, antenna 2 stouter; coxae 1–4 (and coxae 5–7 to some extent) not contiguous, much less broadened than in adult and scarcely splayed, anterior coxae forming elongate rectangles, coxa 4 unexcavate, coxae 5 and 6 unlobed, coxa 7 coalesced with pereonite 7; pereonite 1 a simple cube not encroaching on head; gnathopod 1 lacking medial armature of adult, otherwise gnathopods and pereopods 1–2 with form of adult; article 2 of pereopods 3 and 4 smaller than that of pereopod 5, thus in adult article 2 of pereopods 3–4 becoming enlarged whereas that of pereopod 5 remaining proportionally similar to its condition in juvenile; article 2 of pereopod 3 more nasiform than in adult; pleopods without setae; pleonal epimera scarcely developed; urosome unflattened but broad; uropod 3 relatively much larger than in adult, flaps reaching or exceeding telsonic apex.

RELATIONSHIP.—Palinnotus alaniphlias differs from the 3 other known species of the genus in the presence of a flat coniform palp on maxilla 1 and the coalescence of coxa 7 with the body. These characters do not seem to be of generic value if one considers the remarkable conformity of the pleopods, urosome, head, and gnathopods with other members of the genus, plus the general congruence of the other mouthparts except for the outer plates of the maxillipeds, which in P. holmesi Gurjanova (1938, 1951) are much smaller than in the other known species. That Japanese species also has a larger article 2 on pereopod 5 than does P. alaniphlias.

The type-species, P. thomsoni (Stebbing, 1899a), from New South Wales also has a larger article 2 of pereopod 5 and a less quadrate article 2 of pereopod 3.

Palinnotus natalensis K. H. Barnard (1940) from Natal, has a much larger article 2 of pereopod 5 and more strongly nasiform article 4 of pereopod 5 than does P. alaniphlias.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

HOLOTYPE.—Bishop Museum collections, catalog number 7297, female, 4.2 mm.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—JLB Hawaii 13, Kaneohe Bay, 3–4 m, corals, corallines, fleshy algae, 8 April 1967.

MATERIAL.—Nine specimens from the type-locality.

RELATIONSHIP.—Parapleustes d. derzhavini (Gurjanova, see 1951) from the Japan Sea has the blunt article 4 of gnathopod 1 seen in P. d. makiki, and gnathopod 1 has the broad lobe on article 5, but the lobe of article 5 on gnathopod 2 is slightly narrower and article 5 slightly shorter, while article 4 of gnathopod 2 is also blunt; both pairs of gnathopods have long setae on article 2. These small differences do not warrant full specific nomenclature for the Hawaiian population at present.

Holotype, female, 3.4 mm, Fee 1: b, apices of curl-tipped setae on brood plates: c, mandible, right obverse; d, maxilla 2; h, half of lower lip; i, maxilliped; j, pleon, left lateral.

This subspecies from Hawaii has affinities with P. pugettensis (Dana) from the cold-warm temperate of Pacific North America, but differs in the longer article 5 of the gnathopods, the stouter posterior lobes, the blunter article 4 of gnathopod 1, and the more strongly convex posterior margin of pleonal epimeron 2.

Parapleustes d. makiki is also closely reated to P. gracilis (Buchholz) from boreal waters but differs in the same ways it does from P. pugettensis, in addition to the more rounded lateral cephalic lobes and spinier pereopods and uropods.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

Parapleustes (?) honomu, new species

FIGURES 153, 154

DESCRIPTION.—Head with medium-sized rostrum, lateral lobe vertically truncate but forming softly rounded right angle marking boundary of ventral quadrate excavation for attachment of antenna 2; eyes very large, ochraceous in alcohol, red in formaldehyde, ovatocircular, composed of tightly packed ommatidia on slight lateral bulge; antennae 1–2 missing; upper lip deeply incised; mandibles with large serrate lacinia mobilis matching incisors, spine-row with 2–3 spines, molar narrow and nontriturative, conically geniculate, bearing apical spinules, palp very large, article 3 clavate and armed distally and unimarginally with stout spine-setae; lower lip, maxillae 1–2 generally like those of Neopleustes pulchella (Krøyer) (Sars, 1895. pl. 122, fig. 1), except inner plate of maxilla 1 slightly smaller and with only 1 seta; maxillipedal inner plate armed with 3 small nobs, one of them articulate and 2 apicolateral setae, outer plate slightly hooked, apex with 2 setules, inner margin with 4 spines, palp 3-articulate, article 3 longest and strongly spinose and possibly bearing vestige of article 4; coxae short, 1–4 about as broad as long, 4 weakly excavate posteriorly, posterior lobes of 5 and 6 large; gnathopods 1–2 small, slender, scarcely subchelate, articles 5–6 subrectangular or sublinear, palms with several long and short spines, dactyls long; pereopods 1–5 very large and stout for family, dactyls long, article 6 of pereopods 3–5 elongate, article 2 strongly lobed posteroventrally; uropods 1–3 with shortened outer rami, rami on uropod 3 of medium length for family; telson short, as broad as long, softly triangular; pereonites 6–7 and pleonites 1–2 with posterodorsal hump-keel, pereonite 7 with small posterolateral bulge, pleonites 1–2 with lateral keel continuing to posterior quadrate corner, connected with epimeron directly, pleonite 3 with partial anterolateral keel; pleonal epimera 1–2 with lateral ridge, posteroventral corner formed of small cusp, posterior edge slightly convex and with 1–2 serrations, epimeron 3 rounded and serrate posteriorly.

HOLOTYPE.—Bishop Museum collections, catalog number 7296, male, 2.3 mm. Unique.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—Devaney 1, off Moku Manu Island, Oahu, 33 m, stem of black coral, 13 May 1967.

RELATIONSHIP.—This species obviously will require the erection of a new genus for its reception, but this event should await a firmer foundation in unbroken material of both sexes. Parapleustes honomu is apparently derived from boreal pleustids of either the genera Parapleustes or Neopleustes, but the absence of palp article 4 on the maxilliped obscures the relationship, for the two boreal genera differ from each other in the presence of a process on article 3 that cannot be detected in P. honomu because article 4 is absent and the relative relationships between the 2 articles no longer occur.

Parapleustes (?) honomu differs from other pleustids generally in the weak lateral cephalic lobe, large eye on slight lateral bulge, the absence of maxillipedal palp article 4, presence of lateral ridges on pleonites 1–3, serrate epimeron 3 (recalling a similar situation in warm-water members of Pontogeneia), elongate article 6 of pereopods 3–5, short coxae, stenothoid-like mandibular incisors and lacinia mobili, and the extraordinarily heavy setae of the mandibular palp.

This species resembles Neopleustes boeckii (Hansen) (Sars, 1895, pl. 122, fig. 2) in the presence of 3 dorsal teeth and to some extent in the head, but N. boeckii has a dorsal crest on the head among the usual differences.

Gnathopods 1–2 of P. honomu are very thin and poorly developed, but Parapleustes oculatus (Holmes, see Barnard and Given, 1960) also has weak gnathopods and large apical setae on the mandibular palp, but the outer lobes of the lower lip of P. honomu are normally broad and P. oculatus has no dorsal teeth.

Neopleustes rasmyslovi Gurjanova (1951) also has a thin but elongate gnathopod 1 and P. johanseni Gurjanova (1951) has thin but strongly subchelate gnathopods and the lateral cephalic lobes are poorly developed.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

Juvenile, 0.9 mm, JLB Hawaii 3: i, head, pereon, metasome from right side.

DESCRIPTION.—Pereopods 2–7 and antennae 1–2 missing from all material except pereopods 3–4 of juvenile in JLB Hawaii 3, generally like those of L. tuberculatus Bruzelius (Sars, 1895, pl. 226); mouthparts also like drat species but inner plate of maxilla 1 obsolescent, right mandibular molar with large flake and seta, left molar with small flake and no seta; epistome strongly conical; uropod 3 a small flap with medial setule. Specimen of JLB Hawaii 5 lacks lateral cusps on pleonite 1, and the adult of JLB Hawaii 3 has all cusps less produced than on the holotype, and pereonite 1 and pleonite 1 have no lateral cusps.

HOLOTYPE.—Bishop Museum collections, catalog number 7298, female, 1.8 mm.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—JLB Hawaii 6, off Barbers Point, Hawaii, 30 m, coralline footballs, 29 January 1967.

MATERIALS.—JLB Hawaii 3 (2), 5 (1), 6 (1).

RELATIONSHIP.—This species probably has its closest relationships with L. hystrix (Haswell, 1880b), but that species has at least one more dorsolateral cusp on each side of pereonites 1–7 and pleonite 1 has 2 dorsal medials, the anteroventral cephalic cusp is larger and coxae 5–6 have ventral cusps. Considerable developmental change occurs in L. hala, and perhaps terminal adults develop the characters of L. hystrix.

Laetmatophilus armatus (Norman) (Sars, 1895, pl. 227, fig. 1) has fewer dorsal cusps than L. hala, the former having primarily a double dorsal spiniform set along the midline of pereonites 2–7 and pleonites 1–2 and lacking an anteroventral cephalic cusp.

Laetmatophilus leptocheir K. H. Barnard (1937) has the outer ramus of uropod 1 about two-thirds as long as the inner, the head and pereonite 1 lack dorsal cusps or keels and the hand of gnathopod 1 is very slender.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

Podocerus Leach

Identifications of the tropical species in this genus have been subject to confusion after 1906 when Stebbing adequately summarized the known species which at that time had limited distributions. Since then, two species, Brazilian P. brasiliensis (Dana) and New Zealandian P. cristatus (Thomson), have been reported from localities far from tropical waters and P. brasiliensis has come to be considered circumtropical.

One of those records identified by J. L. Barnard (1962a, fig. 30) from open-sea southern California is undoubtedly erroneous as his figure shows a head entirely different from that seen in P. brasiliensis from Hawaii and vaguely seen in Dana’s (1853) drawings of the original establishment of the species. The ocular lobes of P. brasiliensis fill the anteroventral corner of the head, whereas in the Californian material they occur behind a sharp corner. The record by J. L. Barnard (1959) from Newport Bay has the correct head although the dactyl of gnathopod 1 is apically multispinose as in the open-sea populations and thus differs from the dactyl in tropical individuals. The Californian open-sea material should be accorded a name different from P. brasiliensis but estuarine-lagoonal populations in California may represent a form of P. brasiliensis imported by human agencies.

Gnathopod 1 of male P. brasiliensis from Hawaii (J. L. Barnard, 1955a) and Ceylon (Walker, 1904, as P. synaptochir) has a distal hemispherical lobe on a truncate article 5, whereas Dana’s (1855) and J. L. Barnard’s (1959) materials have the lobe on article 5 stretching the breadth of the article.

Podocerus hanapepe, new species

FIGURES 158, 159

DIAGNOSIS OF MALE.—Lateral cephalic lobe quadrate anteroventrally, head extended quadrately forward, lateral ocular bulges of medium extent, divorced from anteroventral corner, red in formaldehyde, ochraceous in alcohol, with weak core of dark pigment; accessory flagellum 1-articulate and very small, antennae 1–2 short; coxa 1 strongly extended forward, article 6 of gnathopod 1 triangular, distally expanded, palm transverse, defined by small spine, dactyl with weak inner serrations, article 6 with extremely stout semipinnate setal spines, article 5 slightly longer than 6, posterior lobe broadly bulging; article 2 of gnathopod 2 with small, distal, anterolateral, obtusely pointed lobe, article 4 long and apically extended as blunt triangle, palm oblique and defined by stout cusp and 2 spines, dactyl almost fitting palm, palm weakly setose and bearing broad, low, castellate distal process and smaller proximal quadrate cusp; article 2 of pereopods 1–5 very short and stout, bilaterally lobate on pereopod 3, outer ramus of uropod 1 about three-fourths as long as inner ramus but appearing shorter from lateral view, uropod 2 very stout, outer ramus about 60 percent as long as inner; uropod 3 small but with 2 apical-subapical spines; telson subcircular-quadratiform, bearing dorsal nob armed with 2 long stout spines; pereonites 1–3 with weak transverse dorsal depressions, pereonites 4–5 shortest of all but pereonite 6 not extremely broadened nor heavily muscularized and all segments clearly articulate; pereonite 7 and pleonites 1–2 scarcely elevated posterodorsally; pleonal epimera 1–3 evenly rounded below.

FEMALE.—Unknown.

HOLOTYPE.—Bishop Museum collections, catalog number 7299, male, 2.4 mm. Unique.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—Fee 1, Waikiki Beach, Oahu, intertidal, Ulva lactuca, 21 April 1967.

RELATIONSHIP.—The overall appearance of this species resembles that of P. mangarevae Chevreux (1908), but P. hanapepe has a slightly more extended and squared-off head, a fully transverse palm on gnathopod 1, no anterior taper on coxa 1, a short accessory flagellum, a strong distal extension on article 4 of gnathopod 2, a slightly stronger defining tooth on the the palm of gnathopod 2, and only 2 telsonic spines that are larger than on P. mangarevae. Antenna 2 of P. mangarevae is very conspicuously longer than antenna 1, a condition not true of P. hanapepe.

Possibly P. mangarevae is a synonym of P. zeylanica (Walker, 1904), and the same differences are approximately applicable between P. hanapepe and P. zeylanica as mentioned above except for coxa 1 and the defining tooth of gnathopod 2 palm. Antennal lengths for P. zeylanica were not mentioned, and the telson has 1 large and 2 small spines.

Podocerus inconspicuus (Stebbing, 1888), from southeast Australia, but apparently not that taxon identified by Pirlot (1938), is very close to P. hanapepe, even though the 2 species are based on opposite sexes and various missing parts of P. inconspicuus preclude their description. Gnathopod 1 of P. inconspicuus (based on a female) has a very narrow article 5 in comparison to that of P. hanapepe.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

Podocerus talegus lawai, new subspecies

FIGURES 160, 161

DIAGNOSIS OF MALE.—Lateral cephalic lobes rounded anteroventrally, eyes on strong lateral bulges divorced from anteroventral corners, red in formaldehyde, ochraceous in alcohol, with weak core of darker ochre; accessory flagellum 1-articulate but thick and elongate, antennae 1–2 long; coxa 1 strongly extended forward; article 6 on gnathopod 1 of normal expansion, slightly longer than article 5, palm about twice as long as posterior margin of article 6, defined by 2 or more spines, one of them thorny, dactyl with long inner serrations near apex, article 6 with long, anteriorly submarginal, semipinnate setal spines, article 5 with evenly bulging posterior lobe; article 2 of gnathopod 2 with quadrate anterodistal lobe, article 4 with small posterodistal cusp, palm undefined, occupying most of posterior margin of article 6, dactyl about two-thirds as long as article 6, palm fringed with long setae and medial face of hand with many stout but long setae, no palmar teeth showing laterally or marginally from medial view in young male but bearing mediosubmarginal, low, broad, crenulate distal process, next proximally a rounded smooth process and finally a small or large obtusely conical process, terminal male with these processes much enlarged and medial edge of article 2 heavily setose; article 2 of pereopods 1–5 of medium stoutness; outer ramus of uropod 1 about three-fourths as long as inner ramus, peduncle with ventrodistal sharp tooth of medium length between rami, outer ramus of uropod 2 about two-thirds as long as inner ramus, often appearing shorter from lateral view, uropod 3 small but with 3 apical-subapical spines; telson subcircular, bearing extended dorsal nob armed with 2 long stout spines; pereonites 1–5 with weak transverse dorsal depressions, pereonites 4–5 shortest of all, pereonites 6–7 exceptionally long, articulations between segments 5–7 and 6–7 incomplete, segments 6–7 heavily muscularized and rigid, pereonite 7 and pleonites 1–2 each with dorsal hump and occasionally weak dorsolateral accessory hump often marked only with setae; pleonal epimera almost evenly rounded below.

FEMALE.—Article 2 of gnathopod 2 lacking anteroventral process, distal cusp of article 4 small, article 6 stout, short, broadly ovate, palm long, strongly defined by 2 stout spines and weak cusp, palm minutely castellate; coxae broader than in male.

HOLOTYPE.—Bishop Museum collections, catalog number 7300, male, 2.6 mm.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—JLB Hawaii 5, off Ewa Beach, Oahu, 30 m, Pocillopora, 29 January 1967.

MATERIAL.—JLB Hawaii 2 (2), 5 (1), 12 (3), 13 (3), 17(1). Fee 1 (5).

RELATIONSHIP.—This subspecies differs from P. t. talegus J. L. Barnard (1965a) from Micronesia only in minor ways such as the rounder anteroventral cephalic margin, the shorter and broader article 5 of gnathopod 1, and apparently the slightly longer serrations on the dactyl of gnathopod 1. The terminal male of P. t. talegus is unknown.

Podocerus talegus seems to have close affinities with P. inconspicuus (Stebbing) and P. ?lobatus (Haswell) as identified by Pirlot (1938). There is considerable evidence that Pirlot’s materials should be given new or different names than those he applied. Unlike Pirlot’s species, P. talegus has a strong dorsal hump or keel only on 3 segments and the bulges are thick and not lamellar. A few individuals of those species identified by Pirlot also have only 3 segments keeled. Article 2 of gnathopod 2 on P. talegus lawai fits P. inconspicuus better than P. ?lobatus, but the palm of male gnathopod 2 fits P. ?lobatus better than P. inconspicuus. P. lobatus (Haswell, 1885) and P. ?lobatus of Pirlot have, however, a defining tooth on the palm, whereas, if that tooth is present on P. talegus, it has moved distally. Podocerus talegus does not fit the original P. inconspicuus (Stebbing, 1888) at all.

Poderus fulanus J. L. Barnard (1962a) from California (=Podocerus species of J. L. Barnard, 1959) has a few resemblances to P. talegus, but also has 4 keeled segments and has only 1 process on male gnathopod 2 palm, weaker ocular bulges, shorter posterior margin of pleonal epimeron 3, fewer spines on uropod 3, and a slightly shorter ventrodistal peduncular cusp on uropod 1, larger segment 6 of the pleon, and longer palm on gnathopod 1 than does P. talegus.

The so-called P. cristatus (Thomson) of California, as identified by J. L. Barnard (1962a), has 5 dorsally keeled segments and dorsolateral humps, but gnathopod 2 has only 2 palmar processes, 1 of them very thin, and article 2 of gnathopod 2 has a weak, mammilliform anteroventral lobe unlike that of P. talegus and the species of Pirlot; coxa 1 is less extended, epimeron 3 short posteriorly, the palm of gnathopod 1 is longer, lacks an anterodistal process on article 2 of gnathopod 2, and the cephalic lobes are sharp.

The Hawaiian specimens of P. talegus resemble Cyrtophium dentatum Haswell (1880a, p. 342) in dorsal keel. That species has been synonymized with P. cristatus. Chilton (1926) has drawings of an identification of P. cristatus from New Zealand (type-area) and P. talegus differs from those in the absence of a distinction between the thin palmar setae and 5–6 thick spines radiating around the defining corner of gnathopod 1 palm plus slight differences in the shape and arrangement of teeth on the palm of male gnathopod 2; Chilton does not show anterodistal lobes on article 2 of gnathopod 2.

Thomson’s (1881) second paper on Cyrtophium cristatum has a figure with a dorsal keel similar to several specimens of P. talegus with 4 weak dorsal humps, but the eyes of the New Zealand species appear weak, and he mentions 3–4 spines defining the palm of gnathopod 1.

Haswell’s (1885) Dexiocerella dentata (=Cyrtophium dentatum of 1880a) is shown to have uropods 1–2 similar to those of P. talegus, but both pairs have a ventral peduncular tooth instead of one as in P. talegus. Perhaps, that is an error.

The identity of Haswell’s Dexiocerella laevis by Walker (1904) (as Platophium laeve) seems to fit the Hawaiian species very closely. The palm of gnathopod 2 has no processes but that of young males in P. talegus also shows no processes from marginal view, and they might have been overlooked in Walker’s material. The fringing palmar setae of Walker’s material however, are very short whereas they are long in P. talegus. Walker’s material has similarities to P. talegus in dorsal ornamentation, telson, ocular lobe, gnathopod 1, the small proximal palmar acclivity on gnathopod 2, but coxa 1 is not as strongly extended forward, uropod 3 is less spinose, and the rami of uropods 1–2 are not clearly described as to length.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

Family SEBIDAE

Seba ekepuu, new species

FIGURES 162, 163

DIAGNOSIS.—Anterior coxae evenly rectangular, lacking sharp extensions; gnathopod 1 of the normal chelate form lacking palmar ornaments, posterior margin of article 6 with setose declivity; article 6 of gnathopod 2 much longer than article 5; article 2 of pereopods 3–5 broadly expanded and increasingly so on pereopod 5, latter with smooth posterior margin and long, oblique, sparsely notched posteroventral margin; fourth articles of pereopods 3–5 very slender and weakly produced posterodistally; pleonal epimeron 1 with small sinuosity at posteroventral corner, epimeron 2 with sharp tooth, epimeron 3 with quadrate posteroventral corner; outer ramus of uropods 1 and 2 shorter than inner rami, rami naked; uropod 3 with distal spines on the single ramus; telson short and ovate.

DESCRIPTION.—Eyes apparently absent, but ocular region with subcircular mass of dense granular tissue, similar tissue occurring in other cephalic patches and in article 2 of pereopods 3–5; accessory flagellum long and 2-articulate; antenna 1 with 5 articles, ultimate minute, antenna 2 with 3 flagellar articles; inner ramus of pleopods 2-articulate, outer ramus 3-articulate.

HOLOTYPE.—Bishop Museum collections, catalog number 7301, ?sex, 1.4 mm.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—J. L. Barnard Hawaii 17, Kawela Bay, Oahu, intertidal, Sargassum, algae, rocks, corals, 24 May 1967.

MATERIAL.—Two specimens from the type-locality.

RELATIONSHIP.—Relationships among the 7 other species of this unique genus are unclear owing to polymorphism in gnathopod 1 and variation in the extent of flabellation on articles of the pereopods. Several minute characters shown in drawings herein have not been described for all of the species. Seba ekepuu appears to have closest affinities with S. typica (Chilton, 1884), from New Zealand, but differs in having a narrower article 4 of pereopods 3–5 and a broader and characteristically shaped article 2 of pereopod 5. That shape appears not to occur in any other species of the genus. Seba antarctica Walker (1907) and S. subantarctica Schellenberg (1931) have, in adult stages, broadly inflated fourth articles of pereopods 3–5, and article 5 of gnathopod 2 is longer than article 6. Seba saundersi Stebbing (1888) has an evenly ovate article 2 on pereopod 5, conspicuous marginal spines on the ramus of uropod 3, and a sharp posteroventral extension on coxa 2. Seba innominata Bate (1862) has a large tooth on the posteroventral corners of pleonal epimera 1–3. Seba armata Chevreux (see Chevreux and Fage, 1925) has an elongate-oval article 2 on pereopod 5 and apparently has urosomites 2 and 3 freely articulate.

Seba dubia Schellenberg (1926) has an ovate article 2 on pereopod 5.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

Family STENOTHOIDAE

Stenothoe haleloke, new species

FIGURE 164

DIAGNOSIS OF FEMALE.—Lateral cephalic lobe broadly truncate, eyes medium in size, red in formaldehyde, clear in alcohol; antennae 1–2 extending equally, peduncles short; article 6 of gnathopod 1 strongly dominating articles 4 and 5 in size, latter with narrow posterior lobe, palm and posterior margin of article 6 equal to each other in length, article 2 thick; article 2 of gnathopod 2 with medial and lateral sharp distal lobes, lobe of article 3 sharp, articles 4–6 of regular form, palm oblique, simple, and equal to posterior margin of article 6, defined by 2 pairs of large spines; locking spines of pereopods 1–5 simple; posterodistal corner of article 2 on pereopod 3 angular, pereopods otherwise of medium stoutness, fourth articles poorly expanded and weakly extended posterodistally; pleonal epimera 1–3 of regular form; urosomite 2 strongly telescoped into urosomite 1; uropod 1 with 2 spines on each ramus, uropod 2 with 1 spine on each ramus; peduncle of uropod 3 shorter than article 1 of ramus, bearing 2 sets of spine(s), article 1 of ramus with 2 sets of spine(s), article 2 of ramus simple, equal in length to article 1; telson with 2 spines on each side.

HOLOTYPE.—Bishop Museum collections, catalog number 7302, female, 2.0 mm. Unique.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—Fee 1, Waikiki Beach, Oahu, intertidal, Ulva lactuca, 25 April 1967.

RELATIONSHIP.—The female of this species has its closest known affinities with, but differs from S. monoculoides (Bate) (Sars, 1895, pl. 82, fig. 1), in the truncate cephalic lobe, and the presence of a few spines on the inner ramus of uropod 1, both rami of uropod 2 and on article 1 of the ramus on uropod 3 (the middle segment), and on the telson.

The sympatriot S. gallensis Walker (J. L. Barnard, 1955a) differs in its female from S. haleloke in the longer peduncle of uropod 3, the weak gnathopod 1 with thin article 2, and the relatively large size of article 4 compared with article 6 and in the smallness of the lobe on article 5. Male S. gallensis has a distinctive gnathopod 2 and uropod 3, but male S. haleloke is unknown.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

Stenothoe ?valida Dana

FIGURE 165

?Stenothoe validus Dana, 1853, pp. 924–925, pl. 63, figs. 1 a–o.

?Stenothoe valida.—Stebbing, 1906, p. 194.—J. L. Barnard, 1953, pp. 83–87 [with synonymy].

MATERIAL.—Devaney 1 (84).

REMARKS.—These specimens differ from J. L. Barnard’s (1953) representation of the species from California in the much more slender article 4 of pereopods 3–5 in both sexes. Female palms of gnathopod 2 are short and have defining spines like those of S. gallensis, but a terminal female may not be present in these collections.

In Hawaii, S. gallensis Walker (J. L. Barnard, 1955a) differs from S. valida and extrinsic populations of S. gallensis (like S. crenulata Chevreux, 1908) in the nonexcavate posteroventral margin of coxa 2 in both sexes, a condition occurring in S. valida of Hawaii and California. It thus appears that neither species is of typical condition in Hawaiian waters, S. gallensis differing in coxa 2 and S. valida differing in article 4 of pereopods. Males of S. gallensis continue to exhibit the rugose apex of uropod 3 and even projectings of the bifid tooth on gnathopod 2 and males of S. valida continue to exhibit a simple apex of uropod 3 and uneven projections of the bifid tooth on gnathopod 2.

DISTRIBUTION.—Cosmopolitan in low latitudes.

Stenothoe species A

FIGURE 166a–i

DESCRIPTION.—Lateral cephalic lobe rounded, eyes large; antennae extending equally, article 3 of antenna 1 as long as article 2; mouthparts and pereopods of form in genus Stenothoe; article 5 of gnathopod 1 scarcely lobate, palm oblique, longer than posterior margin of article 6, minutely crenulate, defined by long spine and short spine, dactyl fitting palm and with accessory tooth on inner margin, gnathopod 2 of juvenile condition, palm with small cusp in middle; dactyls of pereopods 1–5 with accessory claw, sixth articles stout and almost prehensile; rami of uropods 1–2 naked, outer ramus of uropod 2 slightly shorter than inner ramus, inner ramus exceeding uropod 3; peduncle of uropod 3 with 1 spine, ramus slightly longer than peduncle, articles 1 and 2 equal in length, naked; telson naked.

MATERIAL.—JLB Hawaii 3 (1 juvenile, less than 1.0 mm long).

REMARKS.—The form of articles 6 and 7 on pereopods 1–5 distinguish this species from other Hawaiian stenothoids.

Stenothoe species B

FIGURE 166j

DESCRIPTION.—Lateral cephalic margins broadly rounded, scarcely extended forward, eyes large; mouthparts and pereopods in form of genus Stenothoe; gnathopod 1 like Stenothoe species A, but palm slightly shorter and less oblique and defined by 1 spine, palm bearing 1 other lateral spine adjacent to defining spine and 3 medial spines, all evenly spaced for about half of palm length (proximal end), dactylar accessory tooth smaller than in Stenothoe species A; gnathopod 2 also like that of species A, thus juveniliform, defining spine of palm short, middle cusp obsolescent; pereopods 1–5 lacking spines, of normal slenderness, dactyls simple, fourth articles slender and produced one-fourth to one-third along article 5 on pereopods 3–5; expansion of article 2 on pereopods 4–5 narrow for genus (see figure), of equal form on both pairs of pereopods, posteroventral lobe obsolescent; rami of uropod 1 extending equally, outer ramus with 2 spines, inner with 1; outer ramus of uropod 2 about two-thirds as long as inner ramus, latter reaching end of uropod 3, inner ramus with 2 spines, outer with 1; uropod 3 long and slender, lacking spines, peduncle, articles 1 and 2 of ramus all equal in length to each other; telson lacking lateral spines.

MATERIAL.—JLB Hawaii 10 (3 specimens, largest 1.4 mm).

REMARKS.—The spineless pereopods with simple dactyls and relatively narrow article 2 of pereopods 4–5 distinguish this species in Hawaii. Juveniles of S. gallensis and S. valida have a few spines on the pereopods.

Hyale affinis Chevreux, 1908, pp. 503–506, figs. 21–22.—Schellenberg, 1938, pp. 67–68.—J. L. Barnard, 1955a, p. 14 (in part, not fig. 6).

DESCRIPTION.—Following characters and parts as illustrated for H. laie, new species: female gnathopods 1 and 2, male and female head, eye shape, pereopods 1, 2, 3, 4, uropods 1, 2, 3, urosome, telson.

Characters differing from H. laie slightly: eyes paler purple, aesthetascs on antenna 1 shorter, flagellum of antenna 2 slightly longer, coxae 1–4 with posterior acclivity sharper and nearer ventral margin; articles 4–6 of pereopod 5 slightly stouter; pleonal epimera 2–3 slightly sharper.

DIFFERENTIAL CHARACTERS (male).—Hand and palm of gnathopod 1 slightly expanded, dactyl not reaching full length of palm but reaching spine near softly rounded defining corner armed with several short setae, not bulging or cuspidate, palm otherwise setose; gnathopod 2 with palm more than twice as long as free posterior margin of hand, oblique and slightly convex, defined by 2 spines, overall palm recessed deeply from posterior defining bulge, densely spinose.

Male, 6.6 mm, JLB Hawaii 17: f, g, gnathopod 1; h, lateral gnathopod 2.

REMARKS.—The Oahuan population of this species resembles that described by Schellenberg from Laysan Island, but the rami of uropod 1 extend equally, the ramus of uropod 3 is equal to the peduncle, and the palm of male gnathopod 1 is without a defining bulge.

The Hawaiian population (of the high islands) thus differs from that of the Gambier Archipelago in the softly rounded, unbulging defining corner of male gnathopod 1 palm, the strongly defined acclivities on the anterior coxae, the presence of a pair of posterior setae on the hands of the female gnathopods, and the longer palm of male gnathopod 2.

Male H. affinis in Hawaii differs from young males of H. honoluluensis Schellenberg in the dactyl of gnathopod 1 overlapping the palmar spine and the presence of a small spine on the posterior margin of the hand of gnathopod 2, proximal to the palm. Females differ in gross characters only in the coxal acclivities of H. affinis being nearer the ventral margins than in H. honolulensis.

Figure 6 of Barnard (1955a) is erroneous, representing actually female gnathopods of H. bishopae J. L. Barnard.

DISTRIBUTION.—Tropical Pacific.

Hyale ayeli J. L. Barnard

FIGURES 168, 169

DIAGNOSIS OF MALE.—Lateral cephalic lobes broadly truncate, anteroventral cephalic excavation shallow but asymmetrically indented, anteroventral corner of head rounded; eyes large, subcircular, black cores in alcohol; antennae of medium length, antenna 1 reaching more than halfway along antenna 2, flagellum with numerous aesthetascs, peduncle of antenna 2 of medium length, thick, and bearing a few medioposterior setular brushes, flagellum of medium thickness and bearing weak brushes; coxa 1 of normal breadth, scarcely extended forward, coxae 1–4 with slightly attenuate but strong, rounded acclivities, coxa 4 with simple excavation; article 2 of gnathopod 1 unproduced anterodistally, article 4 with medium distal extension, lobe on article 5 broad, article 6 evenly rectangular but not thin, palm oblique, defined by pair of spines and about one-half of posterior margin of hand armed with short setae, dactyl fitting palm; article 2 of gnathopod 2 with broad anterodistal lobe, article 3 with broad anterior lobe, article 4 weakly extended, article 5 immersed posteriorly, hand very large, palm oblique, spinose, and simple in young males but progressively marked with strong, distal, quadrate protrusion, palm about as long as posterior margin of hand, defined by weak hump and pair of small spines, dactyl fitting palm; pereopods 1–2 with one large striate distal locking spine partially hidden by a few setae, one of which strongly hooked, next proximal armament composed of 2 slender setae and 1 slightly thickened spine-seta scarcely one-fourth as wide as main spine; pereopods 3–5 with distal locking spine small and slightly striate spirally, next spine in tandem much larger and more heavily striate, almost forming screw, next proximal spines forming pair of small unstriate members; dactyls of pereopods 1–5 slightly striate, bearing weak distal setule and facial setule; article 6 of pereopods 3–5 lacking posterior spines or setae; pleonal epimeron 1 rounded posteroventrally, epimera 2–3 slightly sinuous posteriorly and with strong blunt posteroventral protrusion; uropod 1 with large distolateral spine on peduncle, outer rami of uropods 1–2 without dorsal spines, uropod 3 with peduncle and ramus of medium breadth and spinose apex.

FEMALE.—Gnathopod 1 like that of male, but gnathopod 2 with narrower lobe on article 5 and slightly bulging posterior margin of hand.

JUVENILE.—Gnathopods 1–2 like adults of H. laie, thus with only 2–3 posterior setae on hands.

MATERIAL.—The original material, especially the lot from Hanauma Bay, Oahu (36).

REMARKS.—Ruffo (1956) considered Hyale ayeli to be a synonym of H. media (Dana) in view of Hurley (1957) and Stephensen (1949) reporting specimens with setular brushes on antenna 2, but the following characters of the Hawaiian specimens differ from those described by Hurley from New Zealand: (1) the palm of gnathopod 2 has a strong protrusion in adult and subadult males; (2) the posteroventral corner of article 2 on pereopod 5 is rounded; (3) uropod 1 has a strong distolateral spine on the peduncle (not present in H. media); (4) uropods 1–2 lack dorsal spines on the outer rami; (5) the posterior setae on gnathopod 1 of both sexes and gnathopod 2 of the female are more broadly spread than in H. media.

Hyale grandicornis bishopae J. L. Barnard, new combination

FIGURE 170

Hyale bishopae J. L. Barnard, 1955a, pp. 16–17, fig. 8.

DIAGNOSIS OF MALE.—Lateral cephalic lobes broadly truncate, anteroventral cephalic excavation shallow and flat, anteroventral corner of head rounded-quadrate; eyes large, subovate, with black-brown-purple cores; antennae short, antenna 1 reaching about halfway along antenna 2, flagellum with numerous aesthetascs, peduncle of antenna 2 of medium length, flagellum thick and bearing few setules; coxa 1 extraordinarily broad, slightly extended forward, coxae 1–4 with strong cuspidiform posterior acclivities, coxa 4 with simple excavation; article 2 of gnathopod 1 unproduced anterodistally, article 4 with weak posterodistal process, lobe of article 5 of medium breadth, article 6 evenly rectangular, palm oblique, defined by pair of spines and about one-fourth of posterior margin of hand armed with short setae, dactyl fitting palm; article 2 of gnathopod 2 with weak anterodistal lobe, article 3 with distinct but small tumid lobe, article 4 weakly extended, article 5 immersed posteriorly, hand very large, palm oblique and simple, spinose, slightly longer than free posterior margin of hand, defined by two enlarged spines, posterior margin with several distal setules, dactyl weakly curved, fitting palm; pereopods 1–2 with pair of small, distal, straight, unstriate spines in tandem; pereopods 3–5 with straight distal locking spine enlarged and slightly striate axially, in tandem with smaller spine; dactyls of pereopods 1–5 slightly striate distalward, bearing large, stiff, spirally striate setule in middle, dactyl with one facial setule; article 6 of pereopods 3–5 lacking posterior setae or spines; pleonal epimeron 1 rounded-quadrate posteroventrally, bearing 2 weak notches, epimeron 2 concave posteriorly and bearing rounded posteroventral protrusion, epimeron 3 convex posteriorly and bearing smaller protrusion than epimeron 2; uropod 1 with medium-sized mediodistal spine on peduncle, rami of uropods 1–2 spinose, uropod 3 with broad peduncle not especially short, ramus slender, with narrow oblique spinose apex and one dorsal, subterminal, discontiguous spine seen from lateral view; telson with quadrate lobes.

FEMALE.—Gnathopod 1 like that of male, but gnathopod 2 like that of female H. iole, new species.

MATERIAL.—The type material: Hanauma Bay, Oahu, 24 November 1951, algae, collector Donald Bates (6 specimens, holotype not seen again).

REMARKS.—This species differs from H. iole, new species, in the broader, shorter coxa 1, the shorter article 5 of gnathopod 1, and larger hand with fewer posterior setae, in the distinct tumid lobe of article 3 on male gnathopod 2, in the smallness of the distal locking spine on pereopods 1–2 and the presence of a second spine in tandem, in the spiral striations of the dactylar seta, in the smallness of the mediodistal spine on the peduncle of uropod 1, in the disjunct ramal spine on uropod 3 (seen from lateral view), in the more strongly rounded epimeron 1 with small notches bearing setules, and in the absence of heavy brushes of setules on antenna 2.

Hyale bishopae seems to fall into the H. grandicornis complex represented by populations from New Zealand, Soudi Africa, and Japan. The characters uniting these widespread populations are especially: (1) a large dactylar seta on pereopods 1–5; (2) a disjunct subterminal spine on the ramus of uropod 3; (3) a small or medium-sized straight distal locking spine on pereopods 1–5 with another spine proximal to it; (4) the dominant spine on the peduncle of uropod 1 is mediodistal and scarcely enlarged; (5) coxae 1–4 have a strongly attenuate posterior acclivity; (6) hands of male and female gnathopod 1 and female gnathopod 2 have a narrowly spread clump of several setae on the posterior margin.

Tiny pectinations seen on the dactyl of pereopods 1–5 in New Zealand and Japanese individuals are not present in Hawaiian specimens; uropod 3 is thin like that on New Zealand but not on Japanese specimens. The latter population has a pyriform article 6 on male gnathopod 2. The dactylar seta on pereopods 1–5 of H. g. bishopae has spiral striations not mentioned for the other members of the complex.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

DESCRIPTION.—Following characters and parts as illustrated for H. laie, new species: Female gnathopods 1 and 2, eye shape, pereopods 1–5, uropods 1, 2, 3, urosome, telson, coxae 1–4, but coxa 1 not as strongly extended forward.

Characters differing from H. laie slightly: articles 2–3 of antenna 1 equal in length to each other, female coxa 2 slightly longer.

DIFFERENTIAL CHARACTERS.—Hand and palm of gnathopod 1 slightly expanded, dactyl not reaching full length of palm and not reaching spine near softly rounded corner bearing 2 stout spines, margin near spine slightly bulging, palm otherwise setose; gnathopod 2 of terminal male with palm occupying entire posterior margin of hand, dactyl overlapping free palmar margin, younger male with shorter palm defined by two spines but not deeply recessed and lacking posterior spinule seen in H. affinis; presumed juvenile male with short oblique palm defined by 2 spines, palm shorter than posterior margin of hand, latter with 1 setule (thus juvenile male possibly that of H. affinis and not H. honoluluensis).

REMARKS.—Probably H. honoluluensis should be reduced to a subspecies of H. chevreuxi K. H. Barnard (see J. L. Barnard, 1965a, for references). Specimens from Canton Island, a member of the Phoenix Islands and thus close to the Gilberts from which Schellenberg reported H. chevreuxi, have the palm of male gnathopod 2 as in H. honoluluensis, and suggest possibly that a cline exists between the original material of H. chevreuxi from the Seychelles and the eastern populations. Barnard (1965a) also identified H. honoluluensis from the Marshall Islands.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian, Phoenix, and Marshall Islands.

DIAGNOSIS OF MALE.—Lateral cephalic lobes broadly truncate, anteroventral cephalic excavation shallow and flat, anteroventral corner of head rounded-quadrate; eyes large, subcircular, with black-brown-purple cores; antennae of medium length, antenna 1 reaching halfway along antenna 2, flagellum with few aesthetascs, peduncle of antenna 2 of medium length, both peduncle and flagellum base with dense brushes of setules; coxa 1 broad, slightly extended forward, coxae 1–4 with strong posterior acclivity projecting as tooth, coxa 4 with simple excavation; article 2 of gnathopod 1 with slight, subterminal, quadrate extension on anterodistal margin, article 4 with strong posterodistal process, lobe of article 5 of medium breadth, article 6 evenly rectangular, palm slightly oblique, defined by pair of spines and about half of posterior margin of hand armed with short setae, dactyl fitting palm; article 2 of gnathopod 2 with slightly bilobate, strong anterodistal protuberance, article 3 unlobate, article 4 weakly extended, article 5 immersed posteriorly, hand very large, palm oblique and simple, spinose, slightly longer than free posterior margin of hand, defined by two slightly enlarged spines, posterior margin with 2 distal setules, dactyl curved, fitting palm; pereopods 1–2 with 1 small, nearly straight distal locking spine, slightly striate axially; pereopods 3–5 with distal locking spine similar and slightly larger than next proximal spine; dactyls of pereopods 1–5 slightly castellate in middle and bearing very large stiff seta in middle, seta slightly striate axially, dactyl with one facial setule; article 6 of pereopods 3–5 lacking posterior setae or spines; pleonal epimeron 1 rounded-quadrate posteroventrally, epimeron 2 concave posteriorly and bearing rounded posteroventral protrusion, epimeron 3 convex posteriorly and bearing smaller protrusion than epimeron 2; uropod 1 with large mediodistal spine on peduncle, rami of uropods 1–2 spinose, uropod 3 with especially short broad peduncle, ramus with oblique, spinose distal margin, no discontiguous spine from lateral view; telson normal.

FEMALE.—Article 2 of gnathopods 1–2 with rounded or subquadrate anterodistal lobe, gnathopod 1 otherwise like that of male; gnathopod 2 stouter than gnathopod 1, article 4 like that on gnathopod 2 of male, article 4 with narrow lobe, article 6 stouter than in gnathopod 1, palm more oblique, and short posterior setae extending only about one-third of hand length.

HOLOTYPE.—Bishop Museum collections, catalog number 7303, male, 11.3 mm.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—Kahalui Harbor, Maui, 28 May 1953.

MATERIAL.—Thirty-three specimens from the type-locality.

REMARKS.—This species has a superficial resemblance to H. ayeli, but differs in numerous characters, including: (1) narrower lobes on article 5 of gnathopod 1 in both sexes and gnathopod 2 in the female; (2) the shorter, broader peduncle of uropod 3; (3) the presence of spines on both rami of uropods 1–2; (4) the shift of the major peduncular spine on uropod 1 from lateral to medial side; (5) the broader hand and thinner dactyl of male gnathopod 2, plus the presence of distinct, though small defining spines on the palm; (6) the presence of a large, dominant dactylar seta on the pereopods; (7) the slightly stronger coxal cusps.

Hyale iole has affinities with H. grandicornis bishopae from Hawaii, but the former differs from the latter in the larger mediodistal spine on the peduncle of uropod 1, the absence of a disjunct spine on the ramus of uropod 3, the slightly castellate dactyls of pereopods 1–5, the stout uropod 3, the antennal brushes and the longer row of posterior setae on the hands of gnathopods 1 and 2.

The strong brushes of setules on antenna 2 resemble those on Hyale plumulosus (Stimpson) from cool-water North America. Presumed specimens of that poorly known species from Point Richmond, Contra Costa County, California, differ from H. iole in the presence of a distinct point and notch on pleonal epimeron 1, in a slightly more extended posteroventral corner on epimeron 2, the absence of black pigment in the eyes, more attenuate and sharper coxal acclivities, and the blunt, unextended article 4 on male gnathopod 1. Fully adult male gnathopod 2 of H. plumulosus has not been observed in this comparison.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

HOLOTYPE.—Bishop Museum collections, catalog number 7304, male, 4.2 mm.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—JLB Hawaii 14, 1 mile N of Kualoa Point, Oahu, intertidal, algae, dead coral heads, 23 May 1967.

MATERIAL.—JLB Hawaii 14 (17), 15 (14), 17 (7), 18 (3). Kauai, Poipu, 17 September 1959, Chir. haw., H. Caspers (1).

This species has strong affinities with H. affinis Chevreux (1908), but male gnathopod 2 palm of H. affinis is simple, the palm of gnathopod 1 lacks a midspine, and the defining hump is very weak.

Hyale pusilla Chevreux (1908) has the ornamented palm seen in H. laie, but it has 2 distal humps instead of 1 and otherwise lacks spines except on those humps. Male gnathopod 1 of H. pusilla is slightly expanded distally but the palm is simple and not defined by a cusp.

Gnathopod 1 of H. laie resembles the male of H. galateae Stebbing (1899a), but the dactyl of Stebbing’s species is bifid.

Hyale laie probably has its closest affinities with that species identified by Iwasa (1939) from Japan as H. dollfusi Chevreux, a species originally described from the Mediterranean Sea. Perhaps the Japanese form should become a subspecies of H. laie and not be identified with H. dollfusi. Iwasa’s material differs from the Mediterranean species in the distinct palmar protrusion of male gnathopod 2, though it is weaker than in H. laie. The Japanese material also has relatively longer antenna 2 than that from Hawaii.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

Female, 3.3 mm: j, palp articles 3–4 of maxilliped.

FEMALE.—Gnathopod 1 like that of male, gnathopod 2 similar in size and shape to gnathopod 1, but article 4 with strong posterodistal extension, article 6 poorly setose posteriorly and medially compared with gnathopod 1; articles 4–5 of pereopod 4 like those of pereopod 5 of male and not like pereopod 4 of male.

JUVENILE MALE.—Palm of gnathopod 2 with weak excavation, dactyl without inner hump.

HOLOTYPE.—Bishop Museum collections, catalog number 7305, male, 3.8 mm.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—JLB Hawaii 5, off Ewa Beach, Oahu, 30 m, Pocillopora, 29 January 1967.

MATERIAL.—Ten specimens from the type-locality.

REMARKS.—The long flagellate seta of the male maxillipedal palp should be used as a subgeneric character to separate this species from the many other members of Hyale lacking it. Maxillipedal palps of few of the 45 known species have been specifically mentioned and others may have this character. Hyale carinata (Bate) of the Mediterranean Sea (Chevreux and Fage, 1925) also has this seta but it is shorter. That species probably also should be assigned to Lelehua.

DISTRIBUTION.—Hawaiian Islands.

Hyale species (cf. rubra [Thomson])

FIGURE 178

DIAGNOSIS OF MALE.—Lateral cephalic lobes broadly truncate, anteroventral cephalic excavation shallow and flat, anteroventral corner of head rounded-quadrate; eyes dark in alcohol (shape destroyed by preservative); antennae of medium length, antenna 1 reaching about halfway along antenna 2, flagellum with a few aesthetascs, peduncle of antenna 2 of medium length, flagellum normal and bearing a few setules; coxa 1 of regular expansion, scarcely extended forward, coxa 1 weakly lobate posteriorly but with no sharp acclivity, coxae 2–3 with strong, quadrate, softly rounded acclivity; coxa 4 with slightly sinuous excavation; article 2 of gnathopod 1 with spinose, quadrate anterodistal extension proximal to corner, article 4 almost unproduced distally, lobe on article 5 thin, article 6 narrowly rectangular and tapering distally, palm very oblique and short, defined by 2 spines, dactyl short, fitting palm, half of posterior margin of hand lined with short setae; article 2 of gnathopod 2 with medium anterodistal lobe, article 3 with large tumid lobe, article 4 weakly extended, article 5 immersed posteriorly, hand very large, with 2 anteroproximal spines, palm oblique and simple, spinose, about equal to free posterior margin of hand, spines at defining corner not enlarged, posterior margin of hand with 3 groups of tiny setules, dactyl curved, fitting palm; pereopods 1–5 with small, weakly striate distal spine, next proximal spine large and striate like other marginal spines, dactyl with small distal seta and facial setule, with weak proximal castellations; pleonal epimera and uropods 1–2 as figured for H. laie, new species, thus largest peduncular spine of uropod 1 on lateral side, outer ramus of uropod 2 much thinner and shorter than outer ramus, rami of uropods 1–2 marginally spinose; uropod 3 slender, all spines of ramus apical; telson with triangular lobes.

Female unknown.

MATERIAL.—Kahalui Harbor, Maui, 28 May 1953 (3 males).

REMARKS.—This species belongs with H. laie-honoluluensis-affinis complex in its uropod 1, but differs from those species and H. g. bishopae and H. ayeli in the thin hand of gnathopod 1, from the laie complex by the numerous posterior setae on that hand, and from H. g. bishopae and H. ayeli in the obsolescent posterior acclivities on coxae 1–3 and the smallness and distal placement of the main dactylar seta on pereopods 1–5.

This population of 3 males appears to be related to H. rubra (Thomson) (Hurley, 1957), but gnathopod 1 tapers distally proximal to the palm, and the lobe on article 5 is thin; article 2 of pereopods 1–2 has relatively long setae on the anterodistal corner. The specimens appear similar to those identified by Iwasa (1939) from Japan as Hyale schmidti.

Parhyalella pietschmanni Schellenberg

FIGURES 179, 180

Parhyalella pietschmanni Schellenberg, 1938, pp. 71–74, figs. 36, 37.

The long description and several figures published by Schellenberg, plus the additional figures presented herein, should adequately define this species for the present. The eyes in formaldehyde are a mixture of garnet below frosty pink ommatidial outlines, turning to dark brownish purple in alcohol, the eyes completely pigmented to their periphery, unlike most Hawaiian marine amphipods with dark ocular pigment.

Parhyalella pietschmanni differs from P. whelpleyi (Shoemaker, 1933b) in the broader coxa 4, the larger pleonal epimeron 2, the slightly broader sixth article of gnathopods 1–2, and the much longer ramus of uropod 3.

MATERIAL.—Lanikai, Oahu, 20 May 1967, collection D. H. Devaney, beach wash associated with algae (10).

¹ To that compilation should be added Ampithoe alluaudi Chevreux and Pleonexes species (now named Ampithoe kulafi, new species), omitted by error.

² Appendix 2.

³ Supplementing and reviewing many earlier works.

⁴ Appendix 1 cites taxa not expected in Hawaii.

⁵ Referring to northeastern Micronesia and the nearest parts of Polynesia to Hawaii.

⁶ Tropical records of this warm-temperate Australian species may be of erroneous identification.

⁷ Possibly misidentified in various harbors.

⁸ Term excludes Hawaii and New Zealand.

⁹ The islands of Hawaii have developed sequentially from west to east and the old western islands have now been eroded to subaqueous level.

¹⁰ Since this study was completed in 1967 I have had the opportunity to study many species of Dexaminidae, Atylidae, Prophliantidae, and Lepechinellidae in Australia and New Zealand. These include two species of Atylus, seven species of Paradexamine, three species of Guernea, six species of Lepechinella, one species of Prophlias, and specimens in USNM of Guernea (= Prinassus) nordenskioldi (Hansen) and Dexamonica reduncans J. L. Barnard. The latter two species have been found to be congeneric, requiring revival of Prinassus Hansen as senior synonym of Dexamonica J. L. Barnard, Prinassus then being attached to Guernea Chevreux as a subgenus. The families Dexaminidae, Atylidae, Anatylidae, Prophliantidae, and Lepechinellidae have been found to be synonymous and divisible into only two subfamilies, Dexamininae and Prophliantinae: the latter subfamily contains Prophlias Nicholls, Haustoriopsis Schellenberg, and Guernea Chevreux (Prinassus Hansen = Dexamonica J. L. Barnard); the remaining genera are assigned to Dexamininae (paper in preparation).

Publication in Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology

Manuscripts for serial publications are accepted by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to substantive review, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums. Non-Smithsonian authors should address inquiries to the appropriate department. If submission is invited, the following format requirements of the Press will govern the preparation of copy. (An instruction sheet for the preparation of illustrations is available from the Press on request.)

Copy must be typewritten, double-spaced, on one side of standard white bond paper, with 1½′′ top and left margins, submitted in ribbon copy with a carbon or duplicate, and accompanied by the original artwork. Duplicate copies of all material, including illustrations, should be retained by the author. There may be several paragraphs to a page, but each page should begin with a new paragraph. Number consecutively all pages, including title page, abstract, text, literature cited, legends, and tables. The minimum length is 30 pages of typescript and illustrations.

The title should be complete and clear for easy indexing by abstracting services. Taxonomic titles will carry a final line indicating the higher categories to which the taxon is referable: “(Hymenoptera: Sphecidae).” Include an abstract as an introductory part of the text. Identify the author on the first page of text with an unnumbered footnote that includes his professional mailing address. A table of contents is optional. An index, if required, may be supplied by the author when he returns page proof.

Two headings are used: (1) text heads (boldface in print) for major sections and chapters and (2) paragraph sideheads (caps and small caps in print) for subdivisions. Further headings may be worked out with the editor.

In taxonomic keys, number only the first item of each couplet; if there is only one couplet, omit the number. For easy reference, number also the taxa and their corresponding headings throughout the text; do not incorporate page references in the key.

In synonymy, use the short form (taxon, author, date, page) with a full reference at the end of the paper under “Literature Cited.” Begin each taxon at the left margin with subsequent lines indented about three spaces. Within a taxon, use a period-dash (.—) to separate each reference. Enclose with square brackets any annotation in or at the end of the taxon. For references within the text, use the author-date system: “(Jones, 1910)” or “Jones (1910).” If the reference is expanded, abbreviate the data: “Jones (1910, p. 122, pl. 20: fig. 1).”

Simple tabulations in the text (e.g., columns of data) may carry headings or not, but they should not contain rules. Formal tables must be submitted as pages separate from the text, and each table, no matter how large, should be pasted up as a single sheet of copy.

For measurements and weights, use the metric system instead of (or in addition to) the English system.

Illustrations (line drawings, maps, photographs, shaded drawings) can be intermixed throughout the printed text. They will be termed Figures and should be numbered consecutively; however, if a group of figures is treated as a single figure, the individual components should be indicated by lowercase italic letters on the illustration, in the legend, and in text references: “Figure 9b.” If illustrations (usually tone photographs) are printed separately from the text as full pages on a different stock of paper, they will be termed Plates, and individual components should be lettered (Plate 9b) but may be numbered (Plate 9: figure 2). Never combine the numbering system of text illustrations with that of plate illustrations. Submit all legends on pages separate from the text and not attached to the artwork.

In the bibliography (usually called “Literature Cited”), spell out book, journal, and article titles, using initial caps with all words except minor terms such as “and, of, the.” (For capitalization of titles in foreign languages, follow the national practice of each language.) Underscore (for italics) book and journal titles. Use the colon-parentheses system for volume, number, and page citations: “10(2):5–9.” Spell out such words as “figures” and “plates” (or “pages” when used alone).

For free copies of his own paper, a Smithsonian author should indicate his requirements on “Form 36” (submitted to the Press with the manuscript). A non-Smithsonian author will receive 50 free copies; order forms for quantities above this amount with instructions for payment will be supplied when page proof is forwarded.
