SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION

Emphasis upon publication as a means of “diffusing knowledge” was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the institution, Joseph Henry outlined 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 theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series:

Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology

Smithsonian Contributions to Botany

Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences

Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences

Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology

Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology

Smithsonian Folklife Studies

Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space

Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology

In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world.

Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review. Press requirements for manuscript and art preparation are outlined on the inside back cover.

Introduction

This work reports on Ostracoda in the suborder Myodocopina collected in shallow waters of Northern Territory and Queensland, Australia (Table 1; Appendix 1). The Myodocopina in those areas except Lizard Island, at the northern end of the Great Barrier Reef, largely are unknown. Including three new species described herein, 15 species (including one left in open nomenclature) now are known from the vicinity of Lizard Island (Kornicker and Caraion, 1980; Kornicker, 1982, 1983; Hall, 1985, 1987). One of the Lizard Island species described herein also was collected from Davies Reef in the central part of the Great Barrier Reef (additional species on hand from Davies Reef are not reported upon herein). Eight new species and one species left in open nomenclature collected in Calliope River and Auckland Creek, near the southern end of the Great Barrier Reef, probably comprise most species of Myodocopina inhabiting that area because they are from extensive samples collected from 55 sites over several years by personnel of the Queensland Electricity Generating Board. The small number of species there (nine) is to be expected because of fluctuating salinities (20–35‰) encountered in the river and creek. Three new species described herein from the vicinity of Weipa, Gulf of Carpentaria, are the only specimens received from the North-Eastern Regional Laboratory, Queensland, but no doubt additional collections from the substrate will reveal more species. Four new species from the vicinity of Darwin, Northern Territory, were selected for description from a fairly large coastal collection made by J.L. Barnard. One of the Darwin species (Rutiderma dux) also was collected on the Great Barrier Reef. A supplementary description is presented of Sheina orri Harding, 1966, from a paratype that had been collected near Heron Island, Great Barrier Reef.

Suborder MYODOCOPINA Sars, 1866

CYPRIDINIDAE Baird, 1850

COMPOSITION.—The Cypridinidae includes two subfamilies: Cypridininae Baird, 1850, and Azygocypridininae Kornicker, 1970. Both are present in the vicinity of Australia.

DISTRIBUTION.—Global with depth range of intertidal to abyssal.

CYPRIDININAE Baird, 1850

Cypridinodes Brady, 1902

TYPE SPECIES.—Cypridinodes favus Brady, 1902:187, by monotypy.

COMPOSITION.—Including two new species described herein, this genus has 14 species: C. acuminata Skogsberg, 1920, C. asymmetrica (Müller, 1906), C. bairdii (Brady, 1866), C. concentrica Kornicker, 1979, C. dorsocurvata (Graf, 1931), C. favus Brady, 1902, C. galatheae Poulsen, 1962, C. inermis Poulsen, 1962, C. minuta Poulsen, 1962, C. pix, new species, C. plax Kornicker, 1991, C. reticulata Poulsen 1962, C. rumex, new species, and C. wyvillethomsoni (Brady, 1880).

DISTRIBUTION.—Indo-West Pacific region. The northernmost extent of its range is the South China Sea and the southernmost is the Tasman Sea (Kornicker, 1991:17). Five species are known from the vicinity of Australia: C. acuminata, C. asymmetrica, C. pix, C. rumex, and C. wyvillethomsoni. Also, Poore et al. (1975:31) reported Cypridinodes sp. in Port Phillip Bay, Melbourne, Australia. Two species, C. concentrica and C. reticulata, are known from the vicinity of New Zealand (Kornicker, 1979, table 1).

DISCUSSION OF THE UPPER LIP.—Poulsen (1962:279, 280, table 20) divided species of Cypridinodes into Group A and Group B (the two new species described herein are in Group B) based on many character differences, including the anterior unpaired part of the upper lip. The anterior part of the upper lip in Group A species has many (25 in C. concentrica (Kornicker, 1979, pls. 12, 13)) very short glandular processes, and the edge “appears in side view as an evenly rounded, serrate margin” (Poulsen, 1962:296). In Group B species, the edge of the anterior part of the upper lip has fewer and longer glandular processes that appear in side view as a row of three to six single processes followed by a double process that is usually slightly larger and wider than the single processes (Figure 3h). Actually, the processes appearing to be single have a second process adjacent to them that is not visible in side view; the two processes are much closer to each other than the following double process that in side view is clearly seen to be two widely separated processes (Kornicker, 1991:23, fig. 22j,k). Because of the difficulty in determining the exact number of processes on the anterior part of the upper lip of Group B species, it is expedient to use, when comparing lips of different species, the number of rows of processes visible when a lip is viewed from the side, rather than the total number of processes. The number of rows (including the “double process” as one row) of processes in Group B species is as follows: C. asymmetrica (reported by Monod, 1932:8, specimens probably misidentified) and C. plax have four rows, Cypridinodes asymmetrica, C. galatheae, C. minuta, C. dorsocurvata, and C. pix have five rows, and C. rumex has seven rows. The number of rows of processes in C. bairdii is not known.

REMARKS CONCERNING C. asymmetrica (Müller, 1906).—The presence of four rows of glandular processes instead of five on the upper lip of a specimen referred to C. asymmetrica by Monod (1932, fig. 10:1) suggests that the specimen is not C. asymmetrica. The presence of seven or eight claws on each lamella of the furca instead of five claws suggests that specimens (possibly not all) referred to C. asymmetrica by Poulsen (1962:297) are not C. asymmetrica. Also, the lack of small suckers on filaments of the b- and c-bristles of the 1st antenna of the adult male described by Poulsen (1962:297) is very unusual and, if not an aberrancy, certainly indicates that the specimen is not conspecific with C. asymmetrica. Poulsen (1962:297) listed one juvenile of C. asymmetrica from the vicinity of Australia at 37°05′S, 150°05′E (depth 70–100 m), but in view of the uncertainty as to whether Poulsen's specimens are conspecific with those described by Müller (1906:14) the presence of that species in Australian waters needs confirmation. (The lack of the usual wide spaces between claw three and claws two and four suggests that the third claw on the right furcal lamella illustrated by Poulsen (1962, fig. 10c) may actually be a claw on the left lamella mistakenly drawn on the right lamella; however, it will be necessary to reexamine the specimen to verify this.)

FIGURES 1–4

ETYMOLOGY.—From the Latin rumex (dock, sorrel).

HOLOTYPE.—Undissected ovigerous female in alcohol, AM P45374.

TYPE LOCALITY.—Gulf of Carpentaria, in vicinity of Weipa, Queensland, Australia; sampling depth 10 m; 16 Nov 1981, time 1643.

PARATYPES.—Type locality: USNM 194100, dissected ovigerous female on slide and in alcohol; USNM 194101, dissected adult male on slide and in alcohol; USNM 194102A, B, 2 undissected ovigerous females in alcohol; USNM 194102C, undissected adult male in alcohol; USNM 194102D, 6 undissected specimens (adult females and juveniles) in alcohol.

DISTRIBUTION.—Known only from type locality in Gulf of Carpentaria.

DESCRIPTION OF ADULT MALE (Figures 1–3).—Carapace with convex ventral and dorsal margins (Figure 1a); anterior of rostrum straight with pointed tip (Figure 1a–c). Projecting caudal process at midheight with dorsal slope continuous with posterior end of valve dorsal to process (Figure 1a,f). Rostrum without the lateral rib projecting past valve edge present on many other species of genus. Right valve with lunate process ventral to incisur and with 19 undivided bristles forming row on inner surface just within outer edge (Figure 1e). Left valve without lunate process but with 15 undivided bristles along edge of anteroventral corner (Figure 1d).

Ornamentation: Surface of valves with indistinct scallops, sparsely distributed short bristles, and small pits, some bearing a minute bilobed process (Figure 1b)

Infold: Rostral infold with 1 proximal divided bristle, 12 or 13 divided bristles paralleling valve edge, 1 shorter bristle at midwidth of ventral edge, and 2 closely spaced bristles at inner end of incisur (Figure 1c). Anteroventral infold just ventral to incisur with 2 short bristles near inner end of incisur and with 1 short bristle near inner margin of infold (Figure 1c). Anteroventral infold and anterior part of ventral infold with 35–37 bristles (not all shown in Figure 1d,e); narrow list (crenulate) present only on posterior of left valve. Infold of caudal process forming pocket, and anterior ridge bearing 23–28 digitate processes (digitations not shown on processes in Figure 1f) along posterior edge and 5–8 small bristles (left valve with 4 of the bristles near ventral end of ridge; right valve with only 1 (Figure 1f)) near bases of digitate processes; on left valve, ventral end of ridge forms low knob, and 5 small bristles present between knob and ventral edge of valve; posterior edge of caudal process with 5 or 6 minute pustules and many short, straight pore canals (Figure 1f). (Kornicker (1991:18) interpreted the inner side of the lunate process of the right valve of Cypridinodes to be part of the infold. Because bristles on the inner side of the process on the right valve of C. rumex are equivalent to a row of bristles along the anteroventral corner of the left valve that are definitely not on the infold, I now believe that the inner side of the lunate process is part of the shell rather than part of the infold.)

COMPARISONS.—The seven rows of processes on the anterior part of the upper lip of C. rumex separates it from other species in Group B for which the upper lip is known (see “Discussion of the Upper Lip,” above). The furca of C. rumex bears five claws (nine specimens examined) on each lamella compared to six for C. bairdii. The carapace of C. rumex differs from those of C. favus and C. wyvillethomsoni in not having lateral protuberances. The carapace of C. rumex differs from those of C. wyvillethomsoni, C. reticulata, C. concentrica, C. acuminata, C. inermis, and C. minuta in having a lunate anteroventral process on the right valve. The furca of C. rumex differs from those of C. favus, C. asymmetrica, and probably C. bairdii (based on drawing of furca of C. bairdii by Brady (1866, pl. 62: fig. 7g)) in having a nonarticulated second claw.

COMPARISONS.—The new species, C. pix, differs from C. asymmetrica in having the second furcal claw disarticulated, and it differs from C. rumex in having numerous distinct fossae on the outer surface of the carapace, in having five rather than seven rows of processes on the unpaired anterior part of the upper lip, and in having six rather than five claws on each lamella of the furca. The carapace of C. pix differs from that of C. wyvillethomsoni in not having a large process at midlength and midheight and differs from that of C. inermis in having a lunate process on the anteroventral margin of the right valve. The upper lip of C. pix differs from that of C. plax in having five rather than four rows of processes on the unpaired anterior part of the upper lip.

DISTRIBUTION.—Widespread on continental shelves, except in the Arctic and Antarctic, and sparse on continental slopes. Known depth range is intertidal to 1834 m.

Rutiderma Brady and Norman, 1896

TYPE SPECIES.—Rutiderma compressa Brady and Norman, 1896.

COMPOSITION.—This genus has 28 species, including three new species described herein.

DISTRIBUTION.—Widespread between the latitudes 45°N and 53°S, intertidal to 317 m, but questionably reported from 1834 m (Cohen and Kornicker, 1987:3). Poore et al. (1975:31, 60, 61) reported, but did not describe or illustrate, Rutiderma sp. among the fauna of Port Phillip Bay, Victoria, collected in bottom samples at depths of 20–24 m. Whether or not their species is conspecific with either of the two new species described below must await restudy of the Port Phillip Bay specimens.

COMPARISONS.—Rutiderma dux is close to R. normani Poulsen, 1965:22, and they could be conspecific. The female sixth limbs of the two species differ in that the ventral margin of the end joint of R. normani is straight (Poulsen, 1965, fig. 4j), whereas the anterior three bristles on the end joint of R. dux are on a long projection (Figure 14g). Also, Poulsen (1965:26, 28) described both the female and male furcae of R. normani as having three main claws and three secondary claws, whereas the female and male furcae of R. dux have four main claws and two secondary claws.

REMARKS.—The male is referred to Rutiderma rather than Scleraner because of the morphology of the sensory bristle of the 5th joint of the 1st antenna (Kornicker, 1994).

COMPARISONS.—This species differs from previously described species of the genus in having seven furcal claws (three primary, four secondary) (it is possible that the fourth secondary claw is the result of intraspecific variability, but in other species the number of claws is fairly constant). The carapace of R. sagax is readily separated from that of R. dux because of the absence of flat pointed spines on the infold of the caudal process of the left valve. In addition to having fewer claws, the furca of R. dux differs from that of R. sagax in having four rather than three primary claws.

Gut Content: USNM 194147 with almost complete harpacticoid copepod (exoskeleton only) in gut (copepod identified by T.E. Bowman, Smithsonian Institution).

Number of Eggs: QM W20741 (holotype, Figure 20a) and USNM 194153 each with 2 eggs in marsupium. USNM 194147 with 2 embryos in marsupium (valves of embryos separated at free margin and with some appendages protruding); length (L) and height (H) of embryos, in mm: L = 0.37, H = 0.34; L = 0.40, H = 0.35. Cohen (1983:244) observed that a thin covering enclosing the entire embryo of Skogsbergia lerneri Kornicker, 1958, was discarded just after the embryo was released from the marsupium of the female. Apparently, in R. tryx the covering is split prior to the embryo leaving the marsupium. No covering was observed on the outer side of the valves of the embryos, but a thin film was attached to the ventral edge of the body of one of the embryos.

COMPARISONS.—The carapace of R. tryx differs from that of R. sagax (only the male known) in having an alar process with a convex rather than a concave posterior edge. The furca of R. tryx bears six claws on each lamella compared to seven on R. sagax. The anterior ridge of the infold of the left valve caudal process of R. dux bears numerous flat pointed spines that are absent on R. tryx (spines usually are visible through shell). The furca of R. dux bears four primary and two secondary claws on each lamella compared to three primary and three secondary claws on the furca of R. tryx.

SARSIELLIDAE Brady and Norman, 1896

COMPOSITION.—The Sarsiellidae includes two subfamilies: Sarsiellinae Brady and Norman, 1896, and Dantyinae Kornicker and Cohen, 1978. Both subfamilies have been collected in the vicinity of Australia.

DISTRIBUTION.—The known latitudinal range of this family is between 63°N and 72°S, and the known depth range is intertidal to 4758 m (Kornicker and Caraion, 1980:2).

SARSIELLINAE Brady and Norman, 1896

COMPOSITION.—This subfamily includes about 15 genera.

DISTRIBUTION.—Same as for Sarsiellidae.

DISCUSSION OF ADULT MALE.—Adult males are less abundant than are adult females. Within some genera as presently construed, Eusarsiella for example, interspecific differences in appendage morphology may differ more between males than between females. Some of those differences in the second antennae, mandibles, and seventh limbs of known adult males are listed in Table 2. The differences could be useful in subdividing genera, but to do so would make uncertain the referral of many species in which the adult male is unknown. The mandibles of adult males of the Sarsiellidae and Rutidermatidae resemble each other more closely than do mandibles of females of those families. Mandibles of males and females of the Cypridinidae, Philomedidae, and Cylindroleberididae have relatively little sexual dimorphism and resemble male sarsiellid and rutidermatid mandibles more closely than mandibles of females of those families. This suggests that the male sarsiellid and rutidermatid mandibles have a more primitive morphology than the female sarsiellid and rutidermatid mandibles.

COMPARISONS.—The carapace of E. tryx resembles that of E. saengeri in that both have a stout alar rib. The carapace of E. tryx (length 1.22–1.48 mm) is smaller than that of E. saengeri (length 1.77–1.89 mm) and does not have strongly scalloped anterior and ventral margins. The seventh limb of E. saengeri bears 13 bristles in the proximal group compared to four for E. tryx, and the Bellonci Organ is cone-like rather than cylindrical. The teeth along the posterior edges of the furcal claws are well developed in both E. saengeri and E. tryx, but the teeth are longer in the latter. Also, the lateral eye is better developed in E. saengeri than in E. tryx. The carapace of E. tryx is smaller than that of E. serrata (Hall, 1987) (the length of the latter is 1.84–2.11 mm), the seventh limb has fewer proximal bristles (four compared to seven), and the exopodite of the maxilla has three instead of two bristles. Also, the lateral eye has six ommatidia in E. serrata but is either absent or minute in E. tryx.

COMPARISONS.—The carapace of E. phrix differs from those of E. tryx and E. saengeri in having an alate process at midlength and midheight in addition to the posterodorsal alate process present on all three species. The alate processes on E. phrix resemble those of Eusarsiella disparalis (Darby, 1965) and E. dispar Kornicker, 1986a, collected in the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico in the vicinity of North America, but the first antenna of E. phrix differs from those species in having a ventral bristle on the third joint.

Eurypylus Brady, 1869

TYPE SPECIES.—Eurypylus petrosus Brady, 1869:141, by monotypy.

COMPOSITION.—This genus has eight species including three (two described herein) from Australia.

DISTRIBUTION.—Continental shelf off Georgia, North America; mangrove area in vicinity of Tanzania, East Africa; Cape Verde Islands off West Africa; shallow water in vicinity of Singapore; in vicinity of Mayotte and Glorioso Islands, Indian Ocean; Lizard Island lagoon, Australia; and Darwin, sta 304, and Calliope River and Auckland Creek area, Australia, herein.

DISCUSSION.—Species of Eurypylus may be divided into two groups based on the distribution of claws on the furca: (1) the E. petrosus group in which articulated secondary claws follow two nonarticulated primary claws; and (2) the E. rousei group in which articulated primary claws follow two nonarticulated primary claws (Table 3).

(Egg in marsupium amber color and with transparent sheath but without visible appendages. It cannot be stated with certainty that it is an ostracode egg.)

REMARKS.—The absence of natatory hairs on the exopodial bristles of the second antennae indicates that the female is either incapable of swimming or is at most a poor swimmer. The absence of hairs is not the result of their being bitten or rubbed off.

COMPARISONS.—In a key to species of Eurypylus in Kornicker (1992:160), the present species keys out to E. pulcher Hall (1985:500) known from Lizard Island, Australia. The carapace of that species is strongly reticulate and is without the long stout bristles present on E. rex. Eurypylus rex is the only known species of the genus with the adult female not having natatory hairs on the exopodial bristles of the second antenna.

Maxilla (Figure 43g,h): Limb reduced. Endites with weakly formed bristles; bristles difficult to resolve (not all shown). Coxale with well-developed, indistinctly ringed dorsal bristle with few marginal spines. Exopodite with 3 well-developed bristles (1 long spinous, 2 short bare) (Figure 43h).

Upper Lip, Posterior of Body (Figure 43m), and Y-Sclerite (Figure 43m): Similar to those of female.

REMARKS.—The presence of only four claws on each lamella of the furca of the male compared to six on the female is unusual and suggests that the male and female may not be conspecific. Resolution of this may have to await the study of additional collections.

COMPARISONS.—Female: The carapace of E. darwinensis is without the stout surface bristles present on E. rex. The carapace of E. darwinensis resembles that of E. pulcher Hall, 1985, from Lizard Island, Australia. Eurypylus darwinensis differs from E. pulcher mainly in having one rather than two bristles on the endopodite of the second antenna, two rather than three ventral bristles on the fourth joint of the first antenna, and especially in that the third furcal claw is not a primary claw; also, E. darwinensis has six rather than five furcal claws. Eurypylus darwinensis differs from E. setifera (Poulsen, 1965) in having fewer furcal claws (six rather than seven or eight) and one or two instead of three endites on the sixth limb.

COMPARISONS.—The new species resembles Asteropterygion hirsutum (Poulsen, 1965), which is based on a unique juvenile male (probably A–1 male) from the Malayan Archipelago. They differ mainly in that the a-bristle of the first antenna of the A–1 male A. hirsutum tapers to a point (bristle-like) whereas that of the A–1 male A. climax curves dorsally and is claw-like. The two species have characters not found in other members of the genus, such as having more primary furcal claws and having medial spines in the proximal anterior corner of the trunk of the sixth limb. The two species are very closely related and could be conspecific. The presence of small copulatory organs on the juvenile male A. hirsutum described by Poulsen (1965:187) and the juvenile male A. climax described herein, as well as the bristles of the seventh limbs being cylindrical rather than tapering distally, indicate that both are at the A–1 stage. Based on the description of the A–1 male by Poulsen (1965:187), and the A–1 male A. climax described herein, additional differences between A–1 males of the two species are as follows:

The shape of the carapace of the adult male A. climax resembles that of Asterope lichenoides Brady, 1902, known from a unique adult male (from the southern part of the South China Sea) that I herewith refer to Asteropterygion lichenoides. Brady (1902:181) described the furca of A. lichenoides as having five slender claws, many fewer than A. climax. The adult male A. climax differs from previously described adult males of the genus in having extremely long c- and g-bristles on the first antenna and in having a hook-shaped dorsal process on the comb of the fifth limb. The elongate carapace of the adult male A. climax differs in shape from those of known adult males of other species with the exception of A. lichenoides.

CYCLASTEROPINAE Poulsen, 1965

Tetraleberis Kornicker, 1981

TYPE SPECIES.—Asterope brevis Müller, 1890:239.

COMPOSITION.—Three species of this genus are known from the vicinity of Australia, namely, T. brevis (Müller, 1890:239) and two new species described herein: T. pix and T. triplex. The genus now contains five species plus one left in open nomenclature (Kornicker, 1975:134).

DISTRIBUTION.—Tetraleberis brevis: Southwest of Japan and Coral Sea (NE of Australia); T. similis: Java Sea; T. pix: Calliope River and Auckland Creek near Gladstone, Queensland, Australia; T. triplex: Lizard Island and Davies Reef, Great Barrier Reef, Australia; T. tanzania, T. maddocksae, and Tetraleberis sp. 1: Indian Ocean. Known depth range is 3–65 m (Kornicker, 1981b:134).

REMARKS CONCERNING T. brevis (Müller, 1890).—This species, the type species of the genus, presents a problem. Kornicker (1981b:135) described a female (adult or A–l) syntype of T. brevis having a maxilla with many more dorsal and ventral bristles on the basale than were present on the maxilla illustrated by Müller (1890, pl. 27: fig. 12). Possible interpretations are that either (1) two different species are in the type series; (2) the number of bristles on the basale of the maxilla varies considerably within the species; (3) one of the described specimens has an aberrant maxilla; (4) poor observation; or (5) the maxilla illustrated by Müller is from an early juvenile. Until additional study clarifies the problem, I think it expedient to accept the fifth possibility and to assume that the specimen described by Kornicker (1981b:135) better represents T. brevis. Although I believe that the lack of a bristle between claws three and four of the caudal furca illustrated by Müller (1890, pl. 27: fig. 10) is probably the result of poor observation, it is possible that the absence is also a juvenile character.

CORRECTION.—Kornicker (1981b:153) described the lateral eye of T. maddocksae as having 24 ommatidia. The numerals apparently are transposed because the eye has 42 ommatidia (Kornicker, 1981b, fig. 52h).

COMPARISONS.—Poulsen (1965:250) referred a female collected in the Coral Sea northeast of Australia to Cycloleberis brevis (Müller, 1890) (= T. brevis (Müller, 1890)). It is not clear whether it is an adult female or a juvenile because on p. 250 Poulsen described it as having embryos, but on p. 260 he stated that it is probably a juvenile (Kornicker, 1981b:142). Some morphological characters of T. pix and of the specimen Poulsen referred to T. brevis are compared in Table 4. The specimen is not considered to be conspecific with T. pix herein mainly because of differences in the coxale endite of the mandible (the tip of the ventral branch has three short teeth in T. brevis (Poulsen, 1965:247, fig. 83g) and has two teeth and numerous spines in T. pix; also, the bristle on the dorsal branch is set back from the tip on T. brevis and is terminal on T. pix (Figure 62d)), in the number of ventral bristles on the basale of the female maxilla (22 or 23 for T. pix compared to three (aberrant?) for T. brevis), and in the number of bristles on the female 6th limb (e.g., 94 ventral bristles on T. pix compared to 28 or 29 bristles on T. brevis). The maxilla of the specimen of T. brevis illustrated by Müller (1890, pl. 27: fig. 12) has 10 ventral bristles on the basale compared to 22 or 23 bristles for T. pix, and for this reason they are probably not conspecific. Komicker (198lb: 135) examined syntypes of T. brevis and described one that has many more bristles on the maxilla than are present on the specimen Müller described. The maxilla of the specimen of T. brevis described by Kornicker (1981b:136, fig. 47a) has 10–13 proximal bristles on the dorsal margin of the basale compared to three bristles for T. pix, therefore, the specimens are not likely to be conspecific. Bristles of joints three to eight of the exopodite of the second antenna of female T. pix bear stout proximal ventral spines, whereas bristles of female T. similis are without spines, and bristles of T. maddocksae have slender spines. The dorsal margin of the basale of the maxilla of female T. pix has three proximal and three distal bristles compared to six proximal and seven distal bristles for T. tanzania Kornicker, 1981b (Table 4), 24 proximal and eight distal bristles for T. similis (Brady, 1902), and 13 proximal and six distal bristles for T. maddocksae Kornicker, 1981b. Tetraleberis pix and T. tanzania are very close; the greatest difference observed between them is in the endopodite of the male second antenna: T. tanzania has four bristles on the second joint, and on the third joint the slender reflexed part has its base proximally on a triangular process (Kornicker, 1981, fig. 54c); whereas, T. pix has nine bristles on the second joint, and on the third joint the slender reflexed part has its base terminally on a triangular process (Figure 58f). The tip of the ventral branch of the coxale endite of the mandible of T. maddocksae (Figure 62n) is similar to that of T. pix (Figures 59c,d, 62d); the coxale endites of T. tanzania and T. similis are unknown (the endites often break off the mandible and remain in the mouth when the mandible is removed from the body, but they usually can be removed from the mouth for study). The anterior of the proximal bristles on the dorsal margin of the basale of the maxillae of both the male and female T. pix are plumose. A plumose bristle has not been reported previously in that position in other species of Tetraleberis; however, a reexamination of the maxillae of a male paratype (USNM 157415) and of the female holotype (USNM 157414) of T. tanzania revealed that the anterior bristle of the female bears hairs; hairs also were observed on that bristle on the female holotype (USNM 157626) of T. maddocksae (male unknown). This suggests that the anterior bristle in other species of the genus may have hairs that have been overlooked (the hairs are quite thin).

REQUIREMENTS FOR SMITHSONIAN SERIES PUBLICATION

Manuscripts intended for series publication receive substantive review (conducted by their originating Smithsonian museums or offices) and are submitted to the Smithsonian Institution Press with Form SI-36, which must show the approval of the appropriate authority designated by the sponsoring organizational unit. Requests for special treatment—use of color, foldouts, case-bound covers, etc.—require, on the same form, the added approval of the sponsoring authority.

Review of manuscripts and art by the Press for requirements of series format and style, completeness and clarity of copy, and arrangement of all material, as outlined below, will govern, within the judgment of the Press, acceptance or rejection of manuscripts and art.

Copy must be prepared on typewriter or word processor, double-spaced, on one side of standard white bond paper (not erasable), with 1″ margins, submitted as ribbon copy (not carbon or xerox), in loose sheets (not stapled or bound), and accompanied by original art. Minimum acceptable length is 30 pages.

Front matter (preceding the text) should include: title page with only title and author and no other information; abstract page with author, title, series, etc., following the established format; table of contents with indents reflecting the hierarchy of heads in the paper; also, foreword and/or preface, if appropriate.

First page of text should carry the title and author at the top of the page; second page should have only the author's name and professional mailing address, to be used as an unnumbered footnote on the first page of printed text.

Center heads of whatever level should be typed with initial caps of major words, with extra space above and below the head, but no other preparation (such as all caps or underline, except for the underline necessary for generic and specific epithets). Run-in paragraph heads should use period/dashes or colons as necessary.

Tabulations within text (lists of data, often in parallel columns) can be typed on the text page where they occur, but they should not contain rules or numbered table captions.

Formal tables (numbered, with captions, boxheads, stubs, rules) should be submitted as carefully typed, double-spaced copy separate from the text; they will be typeset unless otherwise requested. If camera-copy use is anticipated, do not draw rules on manuscript copy.

Taxonomic keys in natural history papers should use the aligned-couplet form for zoology and may use the multi-level indent form for botany. If cross referencing is required between key and text, do not include page references within the key, but number the keyed-out taxa, using the same numbers with their corresponding heads in the text.

Synonymy in zoology must use the short form (taxon, author, year:page), with full reference at the end of the paper under “Literature Cited.” For botany, the long form (taxon, author, abbreviated journal or book title, volume, page, year, with no reference in “Literature Cited”) is optional.

Text-reference system (author, year:page used within the text, with full citation in “Literature Cited” at the end of the text) must be used in place of bibliographic footnotes in all Contributions Series and is strongly recommended in the Studies Series: “(Jones, 1910:122)” or “…Jones (1910:122).” If bibliographic footnotes are required, use the short form (author, brief title, page) with the full citation in the bibliography.

Footnotes, when few in number, whether annotative or bibliographic, should be typed on separate sheets and inserted immediately after the text pages on which the references occur. Extensive notes must be gathered together and placed at the end of the text in a notes section.

Bibliography, depending upon use, is termed “Literature Cited,” “References,” or “Bibliography.” Spell out titles of books, articles, journals, and monographic series. For book and article titles use sentence-style capitalization according to the rules of the language employed (exception: capitalize all major words in English). For journal and series titles, capitalize the initial word and all subsequent words except articles, conjunctions, and prepositions. Transliterate languages that use a non-Roman alphabet according to the Library of Congress system. Underline (for italics) titles of journals and series and titles of books that are not part of a series. Use the parentheses/colon system for volume (number):pagination: “10(2):5–9.” For alignment and arrangement of elements, follow the format of recent publications in the series for which the manuscript is intended. Guidelines for preparing bibliography may be secured from Series Section, SI Press.

Legends for illustrations must be submitted at the end of the manuscript, with as many legends typed, double-spaced, to a page as convenient.

Illustrations must be submitted as original art (not copies) accompanying, but separate from, the manuscript. Guidelines for preparing art may be secured from the Series Section, SI Press. All types of illustrations (photographs, line drawings, maps, etc.) may be intermixed throughout the printed text. They should be termed Figures and should be numbered consecutively as they will appear in the monograph. If several illustrations are treated as components of a single composite figure, they should be designated by lowercase italic letters on the illustration; also, in the legend and in text references the italic letters (underlined in copy) should be used: “Figure 9b.” Illustrations that are intended to follow the printed text may be termed Plates, and any components should be similarly lettered and referenced: “Plate 9b.” Keys to any symbols within an illustation should appear on the art rather than in the legend.

Some points of style: Do not use periods after such abbreviations as “mm, ft, USNM, NNE.” Spell out numbers “one” through “nine” in expository text, but use digits in all other cases if possible. Use of the metric system of measurement is preferable; where use of the English system is unavoidable, supply metric equivalents in parentheses. Use the decimal system for precise measurements and relationships, common fractions for approximations. Use day/month/year sequence for dates: “9 April 1976.” For months in tabular listings or data sections, use three-letter abbreviations with no periods: “Jan, Mar, Jun,” etc. Omit space between initials of a personal name: J.B. Jones.”

Arrange and paginate sequentially every sheet of manuscript in the following order (1) title page, (2) abstract, (3) contents. (4) foreword and/or preface. (5) text, (6) appendices. (7) notes section. (8) glossary, (9) bibliography, (10) legends. (11) tables. Index copy may be submitted at page proof stage, but plans for an index should be indicated when the manuscript is submitted.
