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 Astrophysics

Smithsonian Contributions to Botany

Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences

Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology

Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology

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 the shelf and slope myodocopid Ostracoda of the families Cypridinidae and Philomedidae collected in bottom trawls by personnel aboard the research vessels Thalassa (12 stations) and Cornide de Saavedra (2 stations) in the vicinity of Spanish Sahara (4 stations) and Mauritania (10 stations) (Figure 1). It is the second of three papers describing the ostracodes collected on the cruises. The Cylindroleberididae have already been described (Kornicker and Caraion, 1974); the third part, which is in preparation, will describe the families Rutidermatidae and Sarsiellidae.

The Thalassa collection contained 57 specimens and the Cornide de Saavedra collection contained 19 specimens of Philomedidae. Of these, two juveniles could not be identified at the genus level. The remaining specimens are referred to 10 species in five genera. Ten of the species were found off Mauritania, of which two were also found off Spanish Sahara. One species was found only off Spanish Sahara. The Cypridinidae were represented in the collection by only two juveniles, both are referred questionably to the genus Paradoloria. The two specimens were found off Mauritania, each vessel collecting one. The range of latitudes from which each species was collected is shown in Figure 2, and the range of depths in Figure 3.

All specimens identified to the generic level and retained in the collection of the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. were assigned USNM numbers (former United States National Museum). Those deposited in the Museum of Natural History “Grigore Antipa,” Bucharest, Romania, were assigned either numbers of that museum or USNM numbers; the latter are enclosed by brackets in the text. Magnifications shown in legends of Plates 1–28 are those used in taking SEM micrographs. These were reduced for publication; reduction is given at end of each legend.

The only Philomedidae previously identified from the study area are Scleroconcha folinii (Brady, 1871), Tetragonodon ctenorynchus Brady, 1887, T. erinaceus Brady and Norman, 1896, Paramekodon inflatus Brady and Norman, 1896. Streptoleberis favosa, Brady and Norman, 1896, and S. rectirostris Brady and Norman, 1896. Müller (1912:51) correctly referred to “Cypridinidarum genera dubia et species dubiae” three of the species: Tetragonodon erinaceus, Streptoleberis favosa, and S. rectirostris. The three species could not be recognized with certainty among the specimens in the present collection and therefore are left in the category to which they were referred by Müller. Paramekodon inflatus was not represented in the collection. Specimens of Tetragonodon ctenorynchus and Scleroconcha folinii were present in the collection and are redescribed herein. Two species in the family that have been reported from southern Africa but were not in the study area are Euphilomedes africanus (Klie, 1940) and E. korickeri Hartmann, 1974. A species in the family that has been reported off Morocco but was not found in the study area is Philomedes macandrei (Baird, 1848) (Kornicker, 1969b).

FIGURE 1.—Map showing locations of stations containing ostracodes reported upon herein. (Thalassa station numbers preceded by “X” and Cornide de Saavedra station numbers preceded by “A.”)

Only one species of Cypridinidae has previously been reported from the study area, Cypridina (?) bradyi de Folin, 1870. That species was referred to “Cypridinarum genera dubia et species dubiae,” by Müller (1912:50). Kornicker (1975b: 17) believed the species to belong in the family Cylindroleberididae but concurred with Müller. Species of Cypridinidae that have been reported from southern Africa are “Cypridina” nobilis Cleve, 1905, Azgocypridina africanus (Stebbing, 1901), Paradoloria dorsoserrata (Müller, 1908), P. vanhoeffeni (Müller, 1908), P. capensis (Cleve, 1905), Paravargula arborea (Müller, 1908) and Skogsbergia caudata (Cleve, 1905). The two specimens, both juveniles, of Cypridinidae in the present collection have been referred to ?Paradoloria species indeterminate.

FIGURE 2.—Latitudinal distribution of species in study area.

Four species in the present collection have been reported from other regions: Euphilomedes asper (Müller, 1894), Pseudophilomedes angulatus Müller, 1894, Scleroconcha folinii (Brady, 1871), and Tetragonodon ctenorynchus (Brady, 1887) (Table 1, p. 68). The last species has been reported from the coast of Africa north of the study area. The other species have been reported from the Mediterranean Sea. Scleroconcha folinii has also been reported from the Atlantic coast of Europe as far north as the Bay of Biscay. The species Euphilomedes sinister Kornicker, 1974, has been divided herein into two subspecies, one off Mauritania and the other both in the Mediterranean and in the Atlantic in the vicinity of Europe as far north as Plymouth, England. Adult males of the genera Tetragonodon and Pseudophilomedes are described herein for the first time.

CYPRIDINIDAE Baird, 1850

The family Cypridinidae contains two subfamilies, Cypridininae Baird, 1850, and Azygocypridininae Kornicker, 1970. Only the former is represented in the study area.

CYPRIDININAE Baird, 1850

Only two juveniles in this subfamily were collected. Both are referred questionably to Paradoloria because at their early stage of development they cannot be separated with certainty from the closely related genus Skogsbergia Poulsen, 1962.

Paradoloria Poulsen, 1962

Because both specimens collected are very early instars they were left in open nomenclature as ?Paradoloria species indeterminate.

DISTRIBUTION.—Members of this genus have been reported mostly from the Indo-West-Pacific area, but three species live in the vicinity of southern Africa: P. vanhoeffeni (Müller, 1908), P. capensis (Cleve, 1905), and P. dorsoserrata (Müller, 1908).

DISTRIBUTION.—This taxon was collected only off Mauritania at depths of 150–175 m.

DISCUSSION.—A small process with 3 spines on the posterior of the body of both specimens in the collection has not previously been described on species of either Skogsbergia or Paradoloria, and should permit the juveniles to be coupled with adult specimens in future collections from the study area.

PHILOMEDIDAE Müller, 1908

The Philomedidae contain two subfamilies: Philomedinae Müller, 1908, and Pseudophilomedinae Kornicker, 1967. Both are represented in the study area.

Key to the Subfamilies of Philomedidae

PHILOMEDINAE Müller, 1908

This subfamily is represented in the collections by four genera: Philomedes Lilljeborg, 1853; Euphilomedes Poulsen, 1962, Scleroconcha Skogsberg, 1920, and Tetragonodon Brady and Norman, 1896. The other members of the subfamily are: Anarthron Kornicker, 1975; Igene Kornicker, 1975; and Paraphilomedes Poulsen, 1962.

MICROSTRUCTURES

The microstructures described below are concerned only with the collected species.

NORMAL PORES.—Philomedes: Only pores with bristles were observed on the surface of the carapace of P. bonneti (Plates 1b–f, 2b) and P. tetradens (Plate 5a–c). Some of the pores of P. bonneti bearing long bristles have a low circular rim lying just within the outer edge of the pore structure (Plate 1e–f).

Euphilomedes: Only simple pores with short bristles were observed on E. sinister pentathrix (Plates 8b–f, 9b), and with long bristles on E. asper (Plate 6f).

Tetragonodon: T. ctenorynchus bears simple pores with bristles and without bristles (Plate 10c). The latter have a peripheral rim and are in the middle of pustules (Plate 11a,b).

Scleroconcha: S. folinii has simple rimmed pores bearing long bristles (Plate 15e), and smaller pores without bristles (Plates 15e,f, 16a). The latter are separated by a small space from a surrounding rim (Plate 15f); the rim around some pores forms a wall having the appearance of a pustule (Plate 16a). The rim around pores could be a remnant of a pustule-like wall.

ORNAMENTATION.—Philomedes: P. bonneti bears small shallow fossae (Plate 1b). P. bonneti has a small projection on the lower corner of the rostrum (Plate 1c,d), whereas, P. tetradens has a much longer projection in the same place (Plate 5a,b). The surface of P. tetradens bears minute papillae (Plate 5c).

Euphilomedes: E. asper has shallow flat-bottomed fossae with a raised peripheral rim (Plate 6d,e); the surface of both the bottom of fossae and the area between fossae bear minute papillae (Plate 6e). E. sinister pentathrix has polygonal muri (Plates 7–9), an upper and lower posterior process on the left valve (Plates 7e,f, 8d–f), and peculiar closely packed ribbed structures, evident mostly on the posterior part of the shell (Plates 8d–f, 9). The latter may be formed after death of the animal.

Tetragonodon: T. ctenorhynchus has a finely papillate surface visible clearly only at magnifications of about 15,000 (Plate 11a,b).

Scleroconcha: S. folinii bears horizontal ribs (Plate 15a–c), distinct flat-bottomed, shallow fossae (Plate 15d), and minute pustulae and rimmed pores (Plates 15e,f, 16a).

BRISTLES.—Philomedes: Both P. bonneti and P. tetradens bear long bristles with broad crenulate bases (Plates 1d–f, 2b, 3a,b, 5a,b). but they are sparsely distributed. Short stout bristles were observed on P. tetradens (Plate 5c); these may also be on P. bonneti.

Euphilomedes: Long bristles with broad crenulate bases are present on E. asper (Plate 6f). E. sinister pentathrix bears short bristles with bulbous tips (Plate 8c).

Tetragonodon: T. ctenorhynchus bears both short bristles and long bristles with broad crenulate bases (Plate 10b–f). The crenulations on the broad base of the long bristles are discontinuous and bear minute papillae (Plate 10f). These differ from the continuous and non-papillate surface of bristles of Philomedes (Plate 1f).

Scleroconcha: S. folinii bears long bristles with broad crenulate bases (Plate 15e). Bristles along the outer edge of the caudal process have abundant short marginal hairs (Plate 18b,c).

INFOLD.—Philomedes: P. bonneti bears long spinous bristles on the rostral infold (Plate 3a), short spinous double bristles parallel to the anteroventral margin (Plate 3b), and short bristles forming groups along the inner margin of the infold of the caudal process (Plate 2e). The latter bristles on P. tetradens are tubular and have open ends (Plate 5d). The bristles in that position on P. bonneti are also probably tubular. Parallel ribs are present along the anteroventral infold of P. bonneti (Plate 3b).

Tetragonodon: T. ctenorhyncus bears spinous bristles on the rostral infold (Plate 12a). That species also has ribs paralleling the anteroventral margin (Plate 12b). The bristle on the anteroventral infold below the incisur appears to have a pore near its middle (Plate 12c). A truncate bristle on the list of the caudal process is shown in Plate 12d.

Scleroconcha: S. folinii bears spinous bristles on the rostral infold (Plate 16e,f), and a spinous bristle at the inner end of the incisur (Plate 16d). Bristles on the list of the caudal process appear to have open ends (Plate 17e,f).

SELVAGE.—Philomedes: The lamellar prolongation of the selvage along the rostrum of P. bonneti bears lateral ribs and a terminal fringe (Plate 1d). The prolongation is divided in the vicinity of the incisur, with the rostral prolongation overlapping the prolongation along the lower edge of the incisur (Plate 1c). A similar lamellar prolongation is present along the rostrum of P. tetradens (Plate 5a).

Euphilomedes: The segmented lamellar prolongation along the rostrum of E. asper is fringed and overlaps the prolongation along the lower margin of the incisur (Plate 6b). The prolongation along the rostrum of E. sinister pentathrix is also segmented (Plate 7d).

Tetragonodon: The lamellar prolongation along the lower margin of the rostrum of T. ctenorhynchus is very narrow (Plate 11d).

Scleroconcha: The lamellar prolongation along the lower margin of the rostrum of S. folinii is broad and overlaps the prolongation along the lower margin of the incisur (Plates 15c, 16c). The prolongation along the ventral margin of the valve is fringed and bears minute spines along the lateral surface (Plate 19).

SHELL MUSCLES.—Tetragonodon: The central adductor muscles of T. ctenorhynchus have a segmented appearance and fine lineations running parallel to the strands (Plate 12f).

Scleroconcha: The central adductor muscles of S. folinii also have a segmented appearance (Plate 18d,e), and flare where they attach to the valve (Plate 18f).

SEVENTH LIMB.—This was examined only on the male Philomedes bonneti (Plate 4). The comb teeth bear alar projections along each margin, and each tooth has a terminal pore (Plate 4b–d). The processes opposite the comb have smooth sides, and each process bears a terminal pore (Plate 4e,f).

LIPS AND MOUTH.—This was examined only on the female Tetragonodon ctenorhynchus (Plates 13, 14a,d–f). The upper lip projects anteriorly (Plate 13a). It is broad at the posterior end near the mouth, tapering anteriorly to a blunt point (Plate 13b). The tip bears several tubelike processes (Plate 13c,d). In ventral view the lower lip is separated from the upper lip by a narrow crescent-like mouth (Plates 13b, 14d). In that view the lower lip is roughly oval in shape (Plate 14d), and bears slender hairs forming rows parallel to the mouth (Plate 14e). Shorter hairs forming rows are present on the lower lip near the lateral corners of the mouth (Plate 14f).

ANTERIOR PROCESS OF BODY.—This was examined only on Tetragonodon ctenorhynchus (Plates 13e, 14b,c). A single smooth, button-like process is present between the upper lip and the bases of the 1st antennae (Plate 13e). The process is without pores (Plate 14b,c).

Key to the Genera of Philomedinae

Philomedes Lilljeborg, 1853

Two species of Philomedes were collected: P. bonneti, new species, and P. tetradens, new species. The only other species of the genus previously collected off west Africa is P. macandrei Baird, 1848, which was reported from the west coast of Morocco by Brady and Norman (1896:662).

The two new species of Philomedes (P. bonneti and P. tetradens) from the west coast of Africa bring to six the number of species in this genus having 6 or more elongate pegs opposite the comb of the 7th limb. The other species are P. lilljeborgii (Sars, 1865), a northern species found north of latitude 50°N (Poulsen, 1962:358); P. curvala Poulsen, 1962, from the West Indies (Poulsen, 1962:355); P. orbicularis Brady, 1907, from the Continental subregion of Antarctica (Kornicker, 1975a:245), and P. subantarctica Kornicker, 1975, from east of Argentina between latitudes of 40°–55°S (Kornicker, 1975a: 235).

DISTRIBUTION.—Members of this genus are widespread ranging from the Arctic to Antarctic in the Atlantic Ocean at depths of intertidal to 3382 m (Kornicker, 1975:229). Species in the present collection were from off Mauritania at depths of 170– 1120 m.

MATURITY OF SPECIMENS IN COLLECTION.—One of the specimens contained a single egg wedged between the ventral margins of the valves of the carapace. It was not possible to determine whether the egg belonged to the specimen or had been washed in from outside. Genitalia were present on the specimen indicating it to be an adult female; however, none of the bristles of the exopodite of the 2nd antenna were long or bore natatory hairs like those usually found on adult females. For these reasons, the maturity of the specimen is in doubt. The second specimen in the collections is also without natatory bristles on the 2nd antenna. Prior collections reported upon by Müller (1894:210), Brady and Norman (1896:659), and Kornicker (1974:14) did not contain adult females.

Euphilomedes sinister Kornicker, 1974

A new subspecies Euphilomedes sinister pentathrix is proposed herein because it has 4 ventral bristles on the 2nd joint of the female 2nd antenna compared to only 1 on specimens from the Gulf of Naples and Plymouth Sound. To test the hypothesis that the west African and European populations comprise two subspecies, it will be necessary to examine the variability in the number of bristles on the 2nd joint of the female 2nd antenna when more specimens become available for study. The specimens of Brady, 1868, Brady and Norman, 1896, Fage, 1934, and Caraion, 1959, have been retained in the synonomy of E. sinister sinister because they were collected in the vicinity of Europe, although the number of bristles on the 2nd joint of the endopodite of the female 2nd antenna of those specimens is unknown. It will be necessary to reexamine the specimens in order to verify the subspecies to which they belong.

HOLOTYPE.—A female without eggs, Zoological Station of Naples, length 1.24 mm.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—Benta Palumma, station B27, 90 m, Gulf of Naples, Italy.

MATERIAL.—USNM 151189a,b, 2 adult females collected at a depth of 5.5 m in June 1974 in Plymouth Sound, England, by Dr. Eric Robinson. These were examined for comparative purposes.

SUPPLEMENTARY DESCRIPTION OF ADULT FEMALE.—Carapace larger than the holotype: USNM 151189a, length 1.37 mm, height 0.93 mm; USNM 151189b (dry measurement), length 1.45 mm, height 0.95 mm.

Endopodite of 2nd Antenna: Same as that described by Kornicker (1974:19; fig. 6I).

REMARKS.—Kornicker (1974:17) did not include specimens identified by Norman (1861:280, pl. 14: fig. 11) from Plymouth Sound in the synonomy of E. sinister. Because Robinson's collection shows that the species is present in Plymouth Sound, it is probable that some of Norman's specimens belong to this species. The specimen illustrated by Norman (1861, pl. 14, fig. 11) has a spine on the right valve and therefore has not been included in the above synonomy.

COMPARISONS:—The new species E. schornikovi has in common with two other species (Philomedes paucichelata Kornicker, 1958, and Tetragonodon rhabdion (Kornicker, 1970) the presence of only 6 claws on the furca with the 3rd claw being smaller than the 4th. The three species should probably be referred to a new genus. E. schornikovi differs from P. paucichelata in having 2 bristles instead of 1 on the 2nd joint of the 1st antenna, and in having a long terminal bristle on the 2nd joint of the endopodite of the female 2nd antenna. (The terminal ends of the endopodites of several specimens of Philomedes paucichelata from Charlotte Harbor, Florida, examined by the senior author were either bare or bore a minute bristle.) E. schornikovi differs from T. rhabdion in having a well developed rod-shaped organ and a long terminal bristle on the 2nd joint of the endopodite of the female 2nd antenna. Some species of Pseudophilomedes also have only 6 furcal claws, but the 2nd exopodial joint of the female 5th limb of members of that genus is prolonged, not short as on E. schornikovi.

Tetragonodon Brady and Norman, 1896

One species of Tetragonodon was collected, T. ctenorynchus (Brady, 1887), which is the type-species of the genus. The male of the species is described for the first time. The male of the genus was previously unknown. Of particular interest is the fact that the sensory bristle of the male 1st antenna bears proximal filaments in a cup not unlike that on the sensory bristle of males in the family Sarsiellidae.

DISTRIBUTION.—Only three species of the genus are known. One species lives along the western coast of Africa and Europe between latitudes 20°41′N and 38°38′N at depths of 636–2995 m; a second species lives in the Gulf of Mexico at a depth of 1000–1200 m, and a third lives in the Peru-Chile Trench at a depth of 991–1015 m. Empty valves have been collected at shallower depths (7– 152 m) in the Atlantic Ocean off Puerto Rico and in Colon Harbor, Panama. Specimens of T. ctenorynchus in the present collection are from off the northern end of the Islamic Republic of Mauritania at a depth of 1120 m. A possible fourth species from the west coast of Morocco, Tetragonodon erinaceus Brady and Norman, 1896, was correctly referred by Müller (1912:51) to “Cypridinidarum genera dubia et species dubiae.”

DISCUSSION OF SPECIMENS FROM OFF MOROCCO REPORTED BY KLIE (1943:49).—Through the courtesy of Dr. Gerd Hartmann the senior author received from the Hamburg Zoological Museum 2 specimens in alcohol that had been identified by Klie (1943) as Philomedes folini Brady. The vial contained a complete specimen (length 2.07 mm, height 1.49 mm), 1 smaller distorted empty shell (length 1.55 mm, height 0.99 mm), and a label stating, “Philomedes folini Brady, Weskuste von Marokko: — Vanneau — Stat. LVI 33°30′20″N, 8°24′30″W, Tiefe 55 m, 24 Juni 1924.” The left lamella of the furca, which was protruding out of the shell of the larger specimen, is illustrated in Figure 33f. The endopodite of the 2nd antenna of that specimen was sufficiently visible through the shell to determine that the specimen is a female. The presence of only 11 furcal claws on the furca and the small size of the carapace indicate it to be a juvenile. The length of the 3rd furcal claw is somewhat shorter relative to the 4th claw than that on the furca of the adult female described herein, but the similarity of the distribution of the ribs on the carapace of Klie's specimen and on the adult female described here leads us to concur with Klie's identification.

PSEUDOPHILOMEDINAE Kornicker, 1967

This subfamily contains two genera: Paramekodon Brady and Norman, 1896, and Pseudophilomedes Müller, 1893. Brady and Norman (1896:670) reported Paramekodon inflatus in samples collected off Spanish Sahara, at a depth of 1435 m, but no specimens are in the present collection, possibly because the maximum sampling depth was 1120 m, and only three samples were collected below 1000 m. Members of the genus Pseudophilomedes are reported herein for the first time from the west coast of Africa. The adult male of members of this subfamily was previously unknown. Adult males of two species of Pseudophilomedes are described herein.

Key to the Genera of Pseudophilomedinae

Pseudophilomedes Müller, 1893

Three species of Pseudophilomedes were collected: P. angulatus Müller, 1894, P. tetrathrix, new species, and P. thalassa, new species. A supplementary description is given of the lectotype of P. foveolatus Müller from the Gulf of Naples. The additional species in the genus is P. ferulanus Kornicker, 1958.

DISTRIBUTION.—Members of Pseudophilomedes have previously been reported from the Gulf of Naples (Müller, 1894), the Great Bahama Bank (Kornicker, 1958), the Atlantic shelf off Georgia (Darby, 1965), and the Atlantic shelf off North Carolina (Kornicker, 1967), at a depth range of 6–160 m. Species in the present collection were from off Mauritania and Spanish Sahara at depths of 150–534 m.

MICROSTRUCTURES

NORMAL PORES.—All the species observed have simple pores with bristles (hairs): female P. angulatus (Plate 21a), P. thalassa (Plate 24f), P. tetrathrix (Plate 28c). The hair-pores of the A-1 male of P. angulatus have crescent-like ribs forming a discontinuous rim around the bristle (Plate 22d–f). Minute pustules containing a simple hairless pore at the middle are present between fossae on P. angulatus (Plates 21d, 22d,c) and P. tetrathrix (Plates 27e, 28a,c). The pustules circumscribe the edge of fossae on P. tetrathrix (Plate 28e,f). Small pustules with a central pore that are either surrounded by a rim or are without rims are on bottom of fossae on P. angulatus (Plate 21c,d) and P. tetrathrix (Plate 28d,e). Minute fossae on P. tetrathrix have in the middle of their flat bottoms a small pustule with a central pore.

ORNAMENTATION.—The female P. angulatus bears well developed ribs (Plate 20a,c). Ribs are weakly developed on the female P. tetrathrix; on the micrograph of the specimen examined ribs appear only on the rostrum (Plate 26d). The female P. thalassa bears small posterior nodes (Plate 24d). Nodes are also present on the male P. angulatus (Figure 37), but they did not appear on micrographs of the specimen examined. Large oval fossae with flat bottoms are present on P. angulatus (Plates 20e,f, 21c, 22), and P. tetrathrix (Plates 26d,f, 27b,c, 28e). Oval fossae also are present in the area of the adductor muscles and may represent places of muscle attachment of P. angulatus (Plate 20f) and P. tetrathrix (Plates 27a, 28a). The bottom of these fossae differs from those in other parts of the valve in having very few pores (Plate 28b). Minute fossae between the larger fossae discussed above form clusters on P. tetrathrix (Plate 27d–f). On the bottom of the fossae in the area of the central adductor muscles, minute pappilae are visible at magnifications of about 15,000 (Plate 28b).

BRISTLES.—Long and short bristles, broadening near base are present on P. angulatus (Plates 20e, 21a, 22d–f), P. thalassa (Plate 24f), and P. tetrathrix (Plates 26d–f, 21a,b, 28c). Crenulations on the base of the long bristles are less pronounced than those observed on bristles of members of the Philomedinae.

SELVAGE.—The lamellar prolongation of the selvage is fringed along the rostrum and lower margin of the incisur, and the former overlaps the latter in the incisur area of the female P. angulatus (Plate 20e) and P. tetrathrix (Plate 26e).

INFOLD.—Bristles on the rostral infold of the male P. angulatus have marginal spines (Plate 23b). Setose bristles are present on the posterior end of the list on the caudal process of the male P. angulatus (Plate 23c,d).

SEXUAL DIMORPHISM

The adult males are known for only two species: P. thalassa and P. angulatus. The carapaces of males are smaller than those of females. The rostrum of the male P. thalassa overhangs the incisur, whereas, the incisur of the female forms a right angle. The carapace of the male P. angulatus does not have the prominent horizontal ribs present on the carapace of the female.

FIRST ANTENNA.—The male limb differs from that of the female primarily in having a small 5th joint wedged ventrally between the 4th and 6th joints, a sensory bristle (on 5th joint) with abundant long proximal filaments, very long c- and f-bristles.

SECOND ANTENNA.—The protopodite and exopodite are similar to those of female; the male endopodite is 3-jointed with the 3rd joint reflexed on the 2nd; the female endopodite consists of only 1 short joint.

MANDIBLE.—The male limb differs from that of the female primarily in having a short bristle in place of the large bifurcate coxale endite present on the female.

MAXILLA.—The male limb much smaller than that of the female and weakly developed.

FIFTH LIMB.—Male limb weakly developed and without strong teeth on the 1st and 2nd exopodial joints.

SIXTH LIMB.—No sexual dimorphism except endite bristles of male limb with thinner and more abundant marginal hairs.

SEVENTH LIMB.—Females with 6 bristles in distal group and 4 in proximal group. Males with only 4 bristles in distal group and none or 1 in proximal group for P. thalassa and 2 in proximal group for P. angulatus. Terminus of female limb with opposing combs. Terminus of male P. angulatus similar to that of female, but terminus of male P. thalassa without combs.

FURCA.—Males and females with same number of furcal claws.

ROD-SHAPED ORGAN, MEDIAL EYE, AND UPPER LIP.—No sexual dimorphism.

LATERAL EYE.—Lateral eye of female P. thalassa small with 3–5 ommatidia; lateral eye of male large with 19 ommatidia. Lateral eye of female P. angulatus not observed; that of male minute with 2 ommatidia.

BRUSHLIKE ORGAN.—About 5 bristles observed near the female genitalia of P. angulatus, but not on males and females of other species.

GENITALIA.—Female with small sclerotized ring; male copulatory organ consisting of elongate lobes with bristles and sclerotized hook.

ONTOGENY

The A-1 males of P. angulatus, P. thalassa, and P. tetrathrix, and the A-1 female of P. angulatus were examined. Except for being smaller, the outline and ornamentation of the carapace and the distribution of infold bristles are similar to those of the adult female.

FIRST ANTENNA.—Not examined in detail but in general similar to that of the adult female.

SECOND ANTENNA.—Protopodite and exopodite are similar to those of the adult female; A-1 female endopodite similar to that of the adult female; A-1 male endopodite 3-jointed, but the 3rd joint not reflexed on the 2nd as on the adult male; also, 3rd joint without terminal ridges.

MANDIBLE, MAXILLA, 5TH AND 6TH LIMBS.—Except for A-1 female of P. angulatus, these limbs were not examined in detail, but in general are similar to those of the adult female.

SEVENTH LIMB.—Bristles strongly tapered and having 4 bristles in distal group in both sexes. The A-1 female of P. angulatus has 4 bristles in the proximal group. The A-1 male of P. angulatus has either no bristles or 2 to 3 bristles in the proximal group (2 specimens without proximal bristles, 1 specimen with 2, and 1 specimen with 3). The A-1 male of P. tetrathrix (1 specimen) is without proximal bristles. The A-1 male of P. thalassa (1 specimen) has 1 proximal bristle. The adult females of the 3 species studied have parallel sided bristles (6 in the distal group and 4 in the proximal group). Adult males of P. thalassa and P. angulatus have 4 distal bristles. The adult male of P. thalassa is without bristles or has 1 bristle in the proximal group (1 specimen with no bristles, 1 specimen with 1 bristle); the adult male of P. angulatus has 2 bristles in the proximal group (1 specimen). The terminus of the A-1 male of P. thalassa is bare like that of the adult male; the terminae of the A-1 males of P. tetrathrix and P. angulatus have opposing combs similar to those of the adults, but with fewer teeth.

FURCA.—Number and distribution of claws are similar to those of furca of adult.

ROD-SHAPED ORGAN, MEDIAL EYE, AND UPPER LIP.—Similar to organs of adult.

LATERAL EYE.—A-1 male of P. thalassa well-developed with 16 ommatidia; adult male of that species also with well developed eye, but with 19 ommatidia. The lateral eyes of the A-1 male of P. tetrathrix are small and unpigmented, each with about 12 minute ommatidia; the adult male P. tetrathrix is unknown. Lateral eyes were not observed with certainty on either the A-1 female, A-1 male, or the adult female of P. angulatus. The adult male of P. angulatus has small lateral eyes, each with 2 ommatidia.

REMARKS.—Müller (1894:212) did not describe or illustrate the 7th limb of females P. angulatus collected in the Gulf of Naples. He did, however, list differences between P. angulatus and P. foveolatus. Because he did not state that the 7th limb of those species differed, it may be assumed that they were similar. The 7th limb of P. foveolatus illustrated by Müller (1894, pl. 3: fig. 47) bears 2 proximal bristles. The 7th limb of the adult female P. angulatus from west Africa bears 4 proximal filaments. Until the variability of this character is better known in both the west African and Gulf of Naples' populations, it is not possible to conclude that the populations differ in the number of proximal bristles on the 7th limb. A certain amount of variability of this character is suggested by the range of 0 to 3 proximal bristles found on the 7th limb of 4 A-1 males from west Africa described herein. The length of the only adult female in the present collection is 1.59 mm, longer than the length of the female (1.23 mm) described by Müller (1894:212) from the Gulf of Naples.

The adult female and juveniles of both sexes of P. angulatus have horizontal ribs on the carapace that are absent on the adult male. This raises doubt as to whether the male has been correctly identified. The 6 claws on the caudal furca of the male indicate that it could not be P. thalassa which has 8 furcal claws. The only species of Pseudophilomedes with 6 claws on the furca collected in the area are P. angulatus and P. tetrathrix. The male was assigned to P. angulatus rather than P. tetrathrix because it is larger than the adult female of P. tetrathrix, but smaller than the adult female of P. angulatus, and because of its small lateral eye, which contained only 2 ommatidia. The lateral eyes on the A-1 male of P. tetrathrix contained many more ommatidia, whereas lateral eyes were not observed on the A-1 male of P. angulatus. The relative size was used as a character for referring the male to P. angulatus rather than P. tetrathrix because the adult male of P. thalassa is smaller than the adult female, and in that species both sexes are almost certainly identified correctly.

COMPARISONS.—The new species P. thalassa differs from other species of Pseudophilomedes in having more bristles (8–10) on the rostral infold. Other species have only 4–5 bristles on the rostral infold. Each lamella of the adult female furca of P. thalassa bears 8 or 9 claws, whereas the lamellae of P. tetrathrix, new species, P. angulatus Müller, and P. foveolatus Müller, bear only 6 or 7. The carapace of P. thalassa resembles in outline that of Paramekodon inflatus Brady and Norman, 1896. It differs from that species in having 8–10 bristles on the rostral infold instead of only 4 (see Kornicker, 1968:462, for supplementary description of Paramekodon inflatus).

LECTOTYPE.—Female, instar III, ZMB 9154:1, Zoological Museum of Berlin. Subsequent designation (Kornicker, 1974:21).

TYPE-LOCALITY.—Bay of Naples, Italy.

MATERIAL.—Lectotype.

DISTRIBUTION.—Gulf of Naples.

DISCUSSION.—Kornicker (1967:13) described the lectotype but did not mention or illustrate the 7th limb. Examination of the 7th limb revealed that it was without bristles. According to the “Key to Early Myodocopid Instars” (Kornicker, 1969a:3) this identifies the specimen as the 3rd stage instar.

SUPPLEMENTARY DESCRIPTION OF LECTOTYPE.—Seventh Limb: Elongate without bristles or terminal comb (Figure 52).

REQUIREMENTS FOR SMITHSONIAN SERIES PUBLICATION

Manuscripts intended for series publication receive substantive review within their originating Smithsonian museums or offices and are submitted to the Smithsonian Institution Press with approval of the appropriate museum authority on Form S1–36. Requests for special treatment—use of color, foldouts, casebound covers, etc.—require, on the same form, the added approval of designated committees or museum directors.

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 the manuscripts and art.

Copy must be typewritten, double-spaced, on one side of standard white bond paper, with 1¼″ 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 heads and structure of the paper.

First page of text should carry the title and author at the top of the page and an unnumbered footnote at the bottom consisting of author's name and professional mailing address.

Center heads of whatever level should be typed with initial caps of major words, with extra space above and below the head, but with no other preparation (such as all caps or underline). 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 formal, numbered table heads.

Formal tables (numbered, with table heads, boxheads, stubs, rules) should be submitted as camera copy, but the author must contact the series section of the Press for editorial attention and preparation assistance before final typing of this matter.

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

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

Footnotes, when few in number, whether annotative or bibliographic, should be typed at the bottom of the text page on which the reference occurs. Extensive notes must appear at the end of the text in a notes section. If bibliographic footnotes are required, use the short form (author/brief title/page) with the full reference in the bibliography.

Text-reference system (author/year/page within the text, with the full reference in a “Literature Cited” at the end of the text) must be used in place of bibliographic footnotes in all scientific series and is strongly recommended in the history and technology series: “(Jones, 1910:122)” or “… Jones (1910:122).”

Bibliography, depending upon use, is termed “References,” “Selected References,” or “Literature Cited.” Spell out book, journal, and article titles, using initial caps in all major words. For capitalization of titles in foreign languages, follow the national practice of each language. Underline (for italics) book and journal titles. Use the colon-parentheses system for volume/number/page citations: “10(2):5–9.– For alinement and arrangement of elements, follow the format of the series for which the manuscript is intended.

Legends for illustrations must not be attached to the art nor included within the text but must be submitted at the end of the manuscript—with as many legends typed, double-spaced, to a page as convenient.

Illustrations must not be included within the manuscript but must be submitted separately as original art (not copies). All illustrations (photographs, line drawings, maps, etc.) can be intermixed throughout the printed text. They should be termed Figures and should be numbered consecutively. If several “figures” are treated as components of a single larger figure, they should be designated by lowercase italic letters (underlined in copy) on the illustration, in the legend, and in text references: “Figure 9b.” If illustrations are intended to be printed separately on coated stock following the text, they should be termed Plates and any components should be lettered as in figures: “Plate 9b.” Keys to any symbols within an illustration should appear on the art and not in the legend.

A few points of style: (1) Do not use periods after such abbreviations as “mm, ft. yds, USNM, NNE, AM, BC.” (2) Use hyphens in spelled out fractions: “two-thirds.” (3) Spell out numbers “one” through “nine” in expository text, but use numerals in all other cases if possible. (4) Use the metric system of measurement, where possible, instead of the English system. (5) Use the decimal system, where possible, in place of fractions. (6) Use day/month/year sequence for dates: “9 April 1976.” (7) For months in tabular listings or data sections, use three-letter abbreviations with no periods: “Jan, Mar, Jun,” etc.

Arrange and paginate sequentially EVERY sheet of manuscript—including ALL front matter and ALL legends, etc., at the back of the text—in the following order: (1) title page, (2) abstract, (3) table of contents. (4) foreword and/or preface, (5) text, (6) appendixes, (7) notes, (8) glossary, (9) bibliography, (10) index, (11) legends.
