WORLDWIDE REVIEW OE THE HERMIT CRAB SPECIES, GENUS SYMPAGURUS 85 A worldwide review of hermit crab species of the genus Sympagurus Smith, 1883 (Crustacea: Decapoda: Parapaguridae) Rafael LEMAITRE Department of Systematic Biology, National Museum of Natural History, P.O. Box 37012, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D. C. 200713-7012, U. S. A. Iemaitre.rafael@nmnh.si.edu ABSTRACT A review of species of the genus Sympagurus Smith, 1883 (sensu Lemaitre) from the world oceans is presented. The study is based on the rich collections obtained during French campaigns in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, and on additional material in various museums and research institutions throughout the world. The 17 species recognised in this genus occur most frequently between 500 and 1000 m depth, and range from 80 to 2537 m. Some live in striking symbiosis with anthozoan or zoanthid coelenterates that can produce pseudo-shells. Three new species, S. aurantium, S. chani and S. symmetticus, are fully described and illustrated here. Sympagurus rectichela (Zarenkov 1990), a taxon originally described in Parapagurus Smith, 1879, has been found to be a junior synonym of S. dofleini (Balss, 1912); and S. papposus Lemaitre, 1996 is a junior synonym of S. hurkenroadi Thompson, 1943. All previously known Sympagurus species are diagnosed or redescribed and illustrated, and data on habitat, symbiotic associations, and coloration are provided. A key to aid in the identification of all Sympagurus species is presented, and their bathymetric and geographic distributions are summarised. The geographic distribution of 14 species (82.3%) includes the Pacific Ocean, 9 (52.9.%) the Indian Ocean, and 3 (1.8%) the Atlantic Ocean. New Caledonia and adjacent islands have the highest number of Sympaguras species in the world, with 12 species known to occur there.

INTRODUCTION The genus Sympagums Smith, 1883 was recently redefined to include 13 species, and is one of ten genera currently classified in the family Parapaguridae (Lemaitre 1996). Species of the genus inhabit the lower continental shelf and upper slope regions of most world oceans where they are frequently found in depths between 500 and 1000 m, although they range from 80 to 2537 m. Individuals of some species reach the largest sizes recorded for parapagurids (shield length up to 26 mm), and some species live in striking symbiosis with pseudoshell-producing anthozoans or zoanthids (Fautin Dunn et al. 1981; Fautin Dunn & Liberman 1983; Fautin 1987). Although various Sympagums species have been discussed in the last decade or so, details on their morphology and taxonomy are scattered in faunal studies of parapagurids from the western Atlantic (Lemaitre 1989), southeastern Pacific (Zarenkov 1990; Zhadan 1997), Antarctic and Subantarctic waters (Lemaitre Sr McLaughlin 1992), French Polynesia (Lemaitre 1994), Australia (Lemaitre 1996), Indonesia (Lemaitre 1997), New Zealand (Lemaitre 2000), and the western Indian Ocean (Zhadan in press). While studying the rich and remarkable parapagurid collections obtained by French campaigns conducted in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, all but three of the previously known species of Sympagums were found to be represented. Furthermore, three new species were discovered. Given that a good number of specimens of several poorly defined or rarely seen taxa were now available in these collections, a worldwide review of Symipagums species was undertaken, augmented by material in major museums and other institutions from throughout the world. As result of this review, a total of 17 species of Sympagums are recognised. Sympagwus rectichela (Zarenkov, 1990), a taxon originally described in Pampagums Smith, 1879 and subsequently transferred to Sympagums by Zhadan (1997), was found to be a junior synonym of S. dofleini (Balss, 1912). Moreover, S. papposus Lemaitre, 1996 was found to be a junior synonym of S. hurkenroadi Thompson, 1943. The type and only known specimen of S. spinimamis (Balss, 1911), was determined as the juvenile stage of a species for which adults are yet unknown. Diagnoses and illustrations are provided for all species, and complete synonymies given. Information is supplied on habitat and symbiotic associations, and color photographs included for five species. A key to aid in the identification of the species is provided. HISTORY OF GENERIC CLASSIFICATION The genus Sympagums has been subjected to a number of revisions and familial classifications since it was originally proposed by Smith (1883) for a single species, S. pictus Smith, 1883. Smith also noted that Sympagums was very similar to a genus he had described earlier, Pampagums Smith, 1879, except that the former had phyllobranchiae instead of trichobranchiae, larger eyes, and shorter ocular peduncles and antennules. Smith (1883, 1884, 1886) did not indicate a familial placement for Sympagums, although he (Smith 1882) did propose the family Parapaguridae for Pampagums on the basis of the trichobranchiae alone. Henderson (1888: 52) placed Sympagums in the Paguridae sensu Dana, 1852, which along with the Coenobitidae made up his "Branch" Laminibranchiata, or forms with phyllobranchiae. Bouvier (1891) later criticized the use of gill type as a character for systematic grouping, and indicated that it was not natural to separate Sympagums from Pampagums based on differences of gill type alone. Milne-Edwards &r Bouvier (1893) then abandoned Smith's (1882) and Henderson's (1888) familial arrangement based on gill structure and placed Sympagums and Pampagums in the family Paguridae. However, at the generic level the use of branchial structure to separate Sympagum.s from Pampagums continued to be used (Milne-Edwards & Bouvier 1893, 1894, 1897, 1899, 1900; Alcock 1901, 1905; Bouvier 1891, 1896, 1922, 1940; Przibram 1905; Fowler 1912; Melin 1939; Thompson 1943; Gordan 1956). To Balss (1912), the separation of these two genera was unsustainable, and he formally synonymized Sym.pagui'us with Parapagurus. WORLDWIDE REVIEW OE THE HERMIT CRAB SPECIES, GENUS SYMPAGURUS 87 This arrangement was accepted by most subsequent carcinologists (e.g., Terao 1913; Forest 1955; de Saint Laurent 1972) until Lemaitre (1989) revised Parapagurus, and reinstated Sympagurus. The latter genus was at that time broadly defined by Lemaitre to include a morphologically diverse assemblage. More recently, Lemaitre (1996) restricted and redefined Sympagurus based on branchial characteristics and other morphological features, and proposed two other genera, Oncopagurus Lemaitre, 1996 and Paragiopagums Lemaitre, 1996, for a number of species previously placed in Sympagurus. BRANCHIAL STRUCTURE AND TERMINOLOGY The parapagurid terminology used follows Lemaitre (1989, 1999), with some exceptions. The term quadriseiial, herein used for gill structure, was defined by McLaughlin &r de Saint Laurent (1998: 161, fig. 1) who pointed out that gills of parapagurids are not true trichobranchiae but rather a type of phyllobranchiae in which the lamellae inserted biserially on the rachis are divided. Although in Sympagurus species the division of the lamellae can vary from one end of the rachis to another, the maximum division of the lamellae (generally seen towards the midportion of the gill), can be of two kinds, herein described as distally divided (Figs Iflj, gi-!i), or deeply divided (Figs lbi-/i). In the former, each lamella is divided by a cleft that does not reach the midlength of the lamella, whereas in the latter the cleft reaches well beyond the midpoint of the lamella. The maximum division has been found to remain constant within each species. Lemaitre's (1996) recent redefinition of Sympagurus was based primarily on a unique character among the Parapagu- ridae, i.e., the presence of a small subtriangular, flap-like structure on the wall of the last thoracic somite (Fig. 2). This structure is distally flexible, often delicate and transparent, and can be observed by gently raising the posterolateral portion of the posterior carapace just above the coxa of the fifth pereopod. This fiap-like structure, which lacks lamellae, was considered to be a rudimentary branchia by de Saint Laurent (1972), for which, the term vestigial pleurobranch proposed by Lemaitre (1989) is preferred here. Whether or not this vestigial structure actually serves a respiratory function is unknown. Mouthpart morphology in Sympagurus species is very similar, except for the endopod of the maxillule. Depending on the species, the external lobe of the endopod of the maxillule varies from obsolete or weakly-developed (Figs laj, Cj, g^, ij) to moderately-developed (Figs Xh^, d^-j^, ^iJi'^- The internal lobe has at least one or more long distal setae, and the number of setae can vary intraspecifically. Although only a limited number of specimens have been studied for maxillule morphology, it appears that the degree of development of the external lobe is characteristic of each species. The first and second ambulatory legs refer to the second and third pereopods respectively. The term semichelate is used as defined by McLaughlin (1997: 435). MATERIALS AND METHODS Treatment of the species and measurements follows the organisation and methods used by Lemaitre (1999) in his review of the genus Parapagurus Smith, 1879, although in the present review the species are discussed in the order that they appear in the key presented for their identification. The numbers or range in millimetres (mm) included in the "material examined" sections following the number and sex of specimens, are measurements for shield length (si), measured from the tip of the rostrum to the midpoint of the posterior margin of the shield. The specimens from the French campaigns remain deposited in the Museum national d'Histoire naturelle, Paris (MNHN), with duplicates in the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington D. C. (USNM). A significant number of specimens used came from other museums or institutions as follows. AMS: The Australian Museum, Sydney; BMNH: The Natural History Museum, London; BPBM: Bernice P.

Balss (1912) subsequently reported this shell as Fissidentalium chuni Plate. DISTRIBUTION. Off Kenya, 977 m (Fig. 34). REMARKS.? Based on information from the literature, Lemaitre (1989) assigned Balss' (1911) Pampagums spini- manus to Sympagurus. Subsequently, Lemaitre (1996) transferred this taxon to Pamgiopagurus. However, Zhadan (in press) examined the holotype and only known speci- men of S. spinimanus, and noticed the presence of vestigial pleurobranchs on the last thoracic somite. Based on this unique diagnostic feature, Zhadan correctly reassigned Balss' taxon to Sympagurus. During this study the holotype of Parapagurus spinimanus was examined. As Zhadan (in press) suggested, the holotype is clearly a young, sexually immature individual. The holotype of S. spinimanus exhibits typical characters seen in juveniles of Sympagurus species: gonopores not yet open; rostrum broadly and obtusely subtriangular, well exceeding lateral projections of shield; antennal acicles short, just reaching the bases of the comeae; setation of chelipeds and ambulatory legs consisting of simple rather than plumose setae; first pleopods barely developed as buds, and vestigial right pleopods still apparent as buds on somites II-V; telson nearly symmetrical, with weakly armed terminal margin; and iridescent coloration. A similar juvenile morphology was documented by Lemaitre (1996) for S. hrevipes. However, the juveniles of FIG. 3.

Echelles = 2 mm (a), et 0,5 mm (o). 94 RAFAEL LEMAITRE S. brevipes differ from Balss' holotype in several important features: tfie rostrum is broader basally in S. brevipes than in Balss' holotype; the margin between rostrum and lateral projection forms a shallow, rounded (U-shaped) sinus in S. brevipes, whereas it is angled (V-shaped) in Balss' holotype; the lateral projections terminate bluntly in S. brevipes, whereas they terminate in a spine in Balss' holotype; and the right chela is armed with many more spines dorsally in S. brevipes than in Balss' holotype. The morphology of adult S. spinimanus remains unknown. Balss (1912, pi. 9, fig. 2) depicted the right uropod slightly larger than the left, but in fact the left uropod is larger than the right.

This new species is unique among Sympagurus species in the symmetry of uropods and telson, the short antennal acicles, relatively long eyes, and narrow anterior lobe of the sternite of the second ambulatory legs. Although S. poupini also has symmetrical uropods and telson, that is where the similarity with S. symmetricus ends. The two species differ in numerous other characters, such as shape of the shield, relative length of the antennal acicles, ambulatory legs, fourth pereopods, and telson armature. Some abnormalities were detected in specimens of S. symmetficus. A male (si 10.4 mm) has a left cheliped (Fig. 4g) similar in finger armature and shape to that of the right cheliped (Fig. 4d). A female from the same station (si 8.9 mm) has no right antenna, and the right antennule arises from where the antenna would normally be. ETYMOLOGY. ? From the Greek symmetros (symmetrical), in reference to the symmetrical condition of the uropods and telson.

This species was previously known only from the western and eastern Atlantic (Lemaitre 1989, 1990). Morphologically it is a relatively stable species that exhibits minor, predictable variations related to size, such as the armature of the mesial margin of the antennal acicles (unarmed or with up to 10 spines), and shape of the tip of the cornea (blunt to sharp); or related to sex, such as the proportions of the carpus and palm of the right cheliped (as broad as long in males, and broader than long in females). The variations observed in the New Caledonia specimens fall well within the range documented for the Atlantic specimens (Lemaitre 1989). Among parapagurids, subconical corneae similar to those of Sympagurus acinops are known only in Oncopaguius minutus (Henderson, 1896), a species distributed in the Indo-Pacific Lemaitre 1996). Such corneal condition can be considered a case of convergence. Sympagurus dimorphus (Studer, 1883) Figs lci,2, 11, 34,35a Eupagums dimorphus Studer, 1883: 24, figs 11, 12.

Commonly found living in gastropod shells, usually vnth an actinian or zoanthid polyp attached to the shell. Also found in colonies of Epizoanthus species. Young individuals are sometimes found living in scaphopod shells (Zhadan 1999). DISTRIBUTION. ? Southern hemisphere from 22?S to 57?S and possibly as far north as Ascension Island, 91-1995 m (Fig. 34). REMARKS. ? As indicated by Lemaitre (1989: 77), it is questionable whether the specimen reported by Milne-Edwards &r Bouvier (1893) from the Caribbean as Parapagurus dimorphus is actually that species, since it is known only from high latitudes of the southern hemisphere. In his description of Parapagurus brevimanus, Balss (1911) listed two specimens, a male and a female, which are syntypes, since he did not select a holotype. Examination of the syntype lot (ZMB 16459), reveals that it actually comprises seven specimens, all of which are S. dimorphus. Hale's (1941) two subspecies of Sympagurus arcuatus (S. a. johnstoni, and S. a. mawsoni) were determined by de Saint Laurent (1972) to be synonyms of S. dimorphus, and based on Hale's descriptions, Lemaitre (1989) concurred. Manning & Chace (1990) believed Eupagurus modicellus Stebbing, 1914, from Ascension Island, to be Sympagurus dimorphus, but as stated by Lemaitre & McLaughlin (1992), the specimen used and illustrated by Stebbing (1914, pi. 26, fig. D) (apparently lost), is likely to be a juvenile that can only be questionable identified as S. dimorphus. Since larval development of parapagurid species remains unknown, published assignments of planktonic larvae to S. dimorphus are speculative (de Saint Laurent-Dechance 1964, as Parapagurus sp. 2; Williamson & von Levetzow 1967, as "Species S.A. 1"; Bacardit 1987, as Parapagurus dimorphus). Variation was described by Lemaitre (1989), and Lemaitre &r McLaughlin (1992). Sympagurus soela Lemaitre, 1996 Figs Idj, i, 12, 34 Sympagurus soela Lemaitre, 1996: 186, figs 12-14a.

HABITAT. ? Usually found living in gastropod shells, occasionally with a zoanthid colony (Epizoanthus sp.) or an actinian polyp (sp. indet.) attached. DISTRIBUTION. ? Gulf of Aden, Maldives, Laccadive Sea, off eastern Africa from Somalia to Mozambique, Madagascar, Seychelles and Straits of Malacca, 80-1840 m (Fig. 34). REMARKS. ? Henderson's (1896) description and figures of this species were based on a male collected off the Maldives (Investigator stn 150), although he did mention two other "small individuals (male and female)" from the same locality, which he considered "undeveloped". Henderson's material has not been examined, and is probably deposited in the Indian Museum, Calcutta. A male specimen of this species (BMNH, labeled "compared with types"), also collected off the Maldives (Jnvestigator stn 232), was examined and confirmed to represent Henderson's taxon. Henderson (1896) described Parapagurus andersoni without including illustrations. Although he mentioned the multifid condition of the ocular acicles of his species, the subsequent illustrations of the male holotype published by Alcock & Anderson (1897, pi. 32, fig. 2), and Alcock (1905, pi. 10, fig. 2), show simple ocular acicles. Henderson's types have not been available for examination, but it appears that the simple condition of the ocular acicles was inaccurately depicted in the illustrations. The cirriped Pagurolepas conchicola Stubbings, 1940 was described based on specimens found living in shells inhabited by Parapagurus andersoni var. hrevimanus collected in the Zanzibar area during the John Murray Expedition (Mabahiss, WORLDWIDE REVIEW OE THE HERMIT CRAB SPECIES, GENUS SYMPAGURUS 117 1933-34, stn 122). This hermit crab material, subsequently reported by Thompson (1943) as Parapagurus andersoni, has been examined and is in fact S. andersoni. Zhadan (in press) found that some of the specimens reported by Balss (1912) as Parapagurus pilosimanus are also S. andersoni. Sympagurus aurantium n. sp. Figs 19-23, 34 TYPE MATERIAL. ?

Found almost exclusively living symbiotically with the large actinian Sagartia consors (Verrill, 1882), which serves as shelter for the hermit crab. The actinian secretes a chitinous pseudo-shell or carcinoecia (Carlgren 1928a, b) that covers the interior walls of the shelter. Juvenile specimens (si < 4.9 mm) are sometimes found using a different type of shelter (Lemaitre 1989). DISTRIBUTION. ? Western Atlantic Ocean from off Martha's Vineyard to the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea and off French Guiana, 180-2322 m (Fig. 34); most frequently at 200-800 m (Lemaitre 1989). REMARKS. ? The description of Eupagums pilimanus A. Milne-Fdwards, 1880 was based on three specimens from the Antilles. Subsequently, Milne-Edwards &r Bouvier (1893) transferred E. pilimanus to Sympagurus, and considered that one of the specimens used in the original description was really S. pictus. As noted by Lemaitre (1989), Milne-Edwards's (1880) confusion originated from the similarity of young S. pictus to S. pilimanus, a species transferred by Lemaitre (1996) to Paragiopagurus Lemaitre, 1996. The legends for Smith's (1883, pi. 5, figs 2, 2a, 3) illustrations of branchial elements were evidently inverted: figs 2 and 2a actually depict Parapagurus pilosimanus Smith, 1879, whereas fig. 3 represents 5. pictus. The specimen identified as Parapagurus pilimanus in the color photograph published by Takeda (1983: 104, unnum- bered fig.) is actually S. pictus.

In S. chani the gill lamellae are at most distally divided (Fig. 28a), the propodal rasp of the fourth pereopod has two rows of scales (Fig. 29d), and the ambulatory legs have a distinct reddish coloration (Fig. 35e) on the ventral and ventrolateral surfaces of the meri, carpi, propodi and dactyls. By contrast, in S. ajfinis the gill lamellae are deeply divided (Fig. 1/j); the propodal rasp of the fourth pereopod has one row of scales (Fig. 14/); and the ambulatory legs have a light orange color on the lateral surfaces faces of the segments that are darker on the meri than on the carpi and propodi (Fig. 35c). ETYMOLOGY. ? This species is dedicated to Dr. Tin-Yam Chan (NTOU), who collected this and other parapagurids in collaboration with French colleagues, and in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the increase of knowledge of decapod crustaceans from Taiwan and other regions of the world oceans.

A number of inverlebrales such as hydroids, lurbellarian worms, and copepods, have been found living inside ihe zoanlhids occupied by ihis hermil crab (Zhadan in press). DISTRIBUTION. ?Japan, Soulh China Sea, New Caledonia, Indonesia, Australia, Mozambique Channel and Madagascar, 205-1120 m (Tig. 34). REMARKS. ? Sympagurus burkenroadi is most similar to S. dofleini. The morphological differences that exist between these two species were summarised by Temaitre (1996: 184) under his description of S. papposus (= S. burkenroadi). Occasio- nally, specimens of S. burkenroadi with bifid or trifid ocular acicles are encountered, which bear some resemblance to S. trispinosus. In such cases, the two species can be separated primarily by differences in the segments of the ambulatory legs, and armature of the telson. The meri, carpi and propodi of the ambulatory legs are more elongated in S. burkenroadi than WORLDWIDE REVIEW OE THE HERMIT CRAB SPECIES, GENUS SYMPAGURUS 137 in S. trispinosus. The ventrolateral margin of the left anterior lobe of the telson in females has slender, corneous spines and bristles in S. burkenioadi, whereas there are only long setae in 5. trispinosus. In addition, S. burkenroadi usually lives using a zoanthid as shelter, whereas S. tiispinosus uses an actinian of the genus Stylohates (see Fautin Dunn et al. 1981; Fautin 1987). De Saint Laurent (1972) considered Sympagurus burkenroadi Thompson, 1943 to be a junior synonym oi Parapagurus dojleini Balss, 1912 (= Sympagurus dojleini), although Lemaitre (1994) questioned that synonymy on the basis of Thompson's (1943) description and figures alone. Subsequently, Zhadan (in press) examined the types of Thompson's Sympagurus burkenroadi and concluded that it is a valid species widely distributed in the western Indian Ocean. Zhadan (in press) also suggested that S. papposus Lemaitre, 1996 might be synonymous with S. burkenroadi. During the present study, a re-examination of the type material confirmed that S. papposus is indeed a junior synonym of S. burkenroadi.

In zoanthids (Epizoanthus sp.) (Fig. 32). DISTRIBUTION. ? New Caledonia and Australia, 490-800 m (Fig. 34). REMARKS. ? Sympagurus villosus is most similar to S. trispinosus. The two can be separated by features of the ocular acicles, cheliped pilosity, and setation and armature of ambulatory legs. Pilosity of both right and left chelipeds is very dense, consisting of a mat of short plumose setae mixed with numerous long, simple bristle-like setae in 5. villosus. Pilosity of chelipeds is also dense in S. trispinosus but consists of a mat of only short plumose setae. The ocular acicles are simple in S. villosus, whereas they are bifid or multifid in S. trispinosus. The ventromesial margin of the dactyls of the ambulatory legs each have about 32 spines in S. villosus, whereas there are only about 18 spines in S. trispinosus. Additionally, S. villosus uses zoanthid (Epizoanthus sp.) as shelter, whereas S. trispinosus typically uses the actinian Stylohates cancrisocia (Carlgren) (see Fautin Dunn et al. 1981).

WORLDWIDE REVIEW OE THE HERMIT CRAB SPECIES, GENUS SYMPAGURUS 143 BATHYMETRIC AND GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION OE SYMPAGURUS SPECIES Compared with other parapagurids such as members of the genus Parapagurus, which can be found at depths in excess of 5000 m (Lemaitre 1999), Sympagurus species occur at moderate depths. Although most Sympagurus species are found between 500 and 1000 m (Fig. 34), they are not restricted to these shallower depths. Nine species have been found at or below 1000 m: S. adnops, S. ajfinis, S. andersoni, S. brevipes, S. burkenroadi, S. dimorphus, S. pictus, S. planimanus, and S. trispinosus; and two species at or below 2000 m: S. adnops, and S. pictus. The shallowest depth at which a Sympagurus species has been found is 80 m, for S. andersoni; and the deepest is 2537 m, for S. adnops. The geographic distribution of the 17 known species of Sympagurus is summarised (Table 1). All but one species are found in the Indo-Pacific region, the exception being S. pictus, which occurs only in the western Atlantic Ocean. Fourteen (82%) species occur in the Pacific Ocean, nine in the Indian Ocean, and three in the Atlantic Ocean. The region with the highest concentration of species is New Caledonia and adjacent islands (including the Coral Sea), where 12 species have been found. The western Indian Ocean is also quite rich in number of species, with 8 (47%) occurring in the area that includes eastern Africa, Madagascar, and Reunion. One species, S. dimorphus, is found exclusively at high latitudes (22?-57?S) of the southern hemisphere, and one, S. adnops, has a relatively broad distribution that includes the western Pacific and both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Only two species, S. ajinis and S. dofleini, are known so far from the Hawaiian Islands, and both have ample distributions across the Pacific to the western Indian Ocean. So far, the two new species described herein as S. aurantium and S. symmetricus, have been found only in the New Caledonia area. Sympagurus poupini is known only from French Polynesia, Samoa, and Walks Island; and S. soela only from Australia and the Coral Sea. TABLE 1.

WORLDWIDE REVIEW OE THE HERMIT CRAB SPECIES, GENUS SYMPAGURUS 145 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS As in previous studies of parapagurids published in this series, I am indebted to Alain Crosnier for allowing me to study the rich collections obtained during the numerous Erench campaigns to various regions of the Pacific and Indian Oceans. His help and guidance while working at his laboratory at MNHN, and while studying the specimens and writing the report at my home base, has been invaluable. No less gratitude is owed to the monumental efforts of Bertrand Richer de Eorges and colleagues for their outstanding efforts in collecting parapagurid specimens, and their meticulous methods of preserving and sorting the material. I wish to express my gratitude to Nguyen Ngoc-Ho, and Daniele Guinot for placing at my disposal their collections, and patiently cataloguing the specimens during my visit to MNHN. I also gratefully acknowledge the invaluable help provided by colleagues from other museums who collected specimens, arranged loans, searched for type material and other comparative material, and provided needed information: these include Michael Apel (Senckenberg Museum, Erankftirt); Keiji Baba (Kumamoto University, Japan); Beatrice L. Burch (BPBM); Tin-Yam Chan (NTOU); Ch. Oliver Coleman (Museum ftir Naturkunde, Berlin); Stefan Eriedrich (ZSM); Karen Gowlett-Holmes (Sandy Bay, Tasmania); Tomoyuki Komai (CBM); Wolfgang Zeidler and Thierry Laperousaz (SAMA); and Dmitry Zhadan (ZMUM). I am most grateful to Tin-Yam Chan and Karen Gowlett-Holmes for allowing publication of color photographs taken by them. Thanks to Akira Asakura and Patsy A. McLaughlin for their valuable criticism and suggestions regarding the manuscript. Last but not least, I thank Rose A. GuUedge and Molly K. Ryan for their assistance in preparing the photographic plates, table and graphs. Molly K. Ryan also prepared most of the ink illustrations for Sympagurus aurantium n. sp. REFERENCES AtCOCKA. 1894. ?
