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 Contributiotis 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 subscription 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.

Introduction

The present report on benthic myodocopid Ostracoda in the superfamily Cypridinacea from Hawaii is based on samples collected in February and April, 1975, in a shallow lagoon between the Paiko Peninsula and a fringing coral reef in Maunalua Bay on the southern coast of Oahu. Collections were made by Anne Cohen, Janice Neill, and Richard Young. Three species were represented in both the February and April collections: Ancohenia hawaiiensis, new genus, new species, Sarsiella janiceae, new species, and Microasteropteron youngi, new species.

The only previous record of a cypridinid ostracode from Hawaii is the pelagic form Cypridina sharpei (M? 1912), which was collected by the Bureau of Fisheries Steamer Albatross, Station 3921, in 1902 from surface waters off Honolulu (Sharpe, 1908:427). Benthic Cypridinacea have not previously been recorded from Hawaii.

The new genus Ancohenia is monotypic and presently known only from Hawaii. The genus Sarsiella is widely distributed (Kornicker, 1975: 573), but the genus Microasteropteron has previously been found only in shallow water along the southeast coast of Thailand (Poulsen: 1965:222).

Note: Specimens located in the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, are indicated by the acronym “USNM” ( = former United States National Museum).

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.—Several people assisted in the preparation of this manuscript. The shaded renderings of ostracode carapaces were made by Mrs. Carolyn Bartlett Gast. Initial camera lucida drawings of most appendages were made by Mr. Paul Mazer, who also inked the final drawings. The assistance of Mr. Walter R. Brown and Miss Mary J. Mann, who operated the scanning-electron microscope, is acknowledged. Freeze-drying of the specimens for photography was done in the laboratory of Mr. Rolland Hower. The manuscript was reviewed by Mrs. Anne Cohen. Miss Maura McManus mounted the photographs and generally assisted. I wish to thank all of these individuals as well as the collectors of the specimens, who are mentioned in the text, for their help.

Ancohenia, new genus

TYPE-SPECIES.—Ancohenia hawaiiensis, new species, monotypy.

ETYMOLOGY.—The genus is named after the principal collector, Anne Cohen, Smithsonian Institution. Gender: feminine.

DIAGNOSIS OF GENUS.—Carapace of female without incisur and with minute caudal process; infold of caudal process with few bare bristles; surface without ridges or ribs.

First Antenna: f- and g-bristles of 8th joint of female short, clawlike; these bristles on adult male clawlike proximally, bristle-like distally. New genus based primarily on the clawlike f- and g-bristles of the female.

Second Antenna: Endopodite of adult male 3-jointed.

Mandible: Adult male limb with well-developed hirsute exopodite; endopodite with stout claw on each joint; claw on 2nd joint with blunt tip.

Seventh Limb: Fairly well developed on adult male but with only distal bristles, and terminus bare.

Lateral Eyes: Present.

Rod-shaped Organ: Elongate but short.

Furca: Main Claws 1, 2, 4 joined to lamella; secondary claws 3, 5, and sometimes 6 separated from lamella by suture.

Comparisons: The new genus Ancohenia differs from most previously described genera in the family in having clawlike f- and g-bristles on the 8th joint of the female 1st antenna. The distribution of claws on the furca resembles that of Chelicopia, Kornicker 1958, but that genus does not have claw-like f- and g-bristles. Anscottiella crispata (Scott, 1905) bears on the 1st antenna stout clawlike c-, f- and g-bristles and has only 4 furcal claws.

TABLE 1.—Comparison of morphological characters of Microasteropteron parvum Poulsen, 1965, and M. youngi, new species

Gill-like Structures: Small (Figure 19q).

Upper Lip: Consisting of single anterior lobe with large process with few marginal spines (Figure 19p), and posterior hirsute lateral flap on each side of mouth.

DESCRIPTION OF A–1 FEMALE.—Carapace similar to that of adult female. Size: USNM 153933, length 0.60 mm, height 0.42 mm.

Appendages: Not examined in detail but in general similar to those of adult female. Furca with only 6 claws on each lamella.

Comparisons: The new species M. youngi is compared in Table 1 with the only other species in the genus, Microasteropteron parvum Poulsen, 1965. Easily discernible differences are the presence of a lateral eye in M. youngi, the absence of bristles on the endopodite of the 2nd antenna of M. youngi, and the presence of 8 rather than 6 bristles on the 7th limb of M. youngi.

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.

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, including 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 an entry, use a period-dash (.—) to separate each reference. Enclose with square brackets any annotation in, or at the end of, the entry. For references within the text, use the author-date system: “(Jones, 1910)” and “Jones (1910).” If the reference is expanded, abbreviate the data: “Jones (1910:122, 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.

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 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. An instruction booklet for the preparation of illustrations is available from the Press on request.

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,” “plates,” “pages.”

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.
