A new genus and three new species of parasitic isopod crustaceans

Abstract

Of the Washington (District of Columbia) High Schools. The three species of bopyridian crustaceans herein described were collected by the author during the summer of 1915 while making a study of the decapod crustaceans of the region about Beaufort, North Carohna, for the United States Bureau of Fisheries. For the facilities for obtainmg, preser\ang, and studying the animals I have to thank the Director of the Beaufort Fisheries Biological Station, Mr. S. F. Hildebrand, and the Commissioner of Fisheries, Dr. Hugh M. Smith. It is with the permission of the latter that the paper is pubhshed. PHRYXUS SUBCAUDALIS, new species. Plate 98, figs. 1 to 6. Holotypes.-Cat. No. 48367, U.S.N.M., paratypes female and male. Cat. No. 48368, U.S.N.M., from Onslow Bay, North Carohna, about 20 miles off Beaufort Inlet, on SynaljjJieus longicarjms (Herrick) ; depth, 10 fathoms; station 8293, United States Fisheries Steamer Fish Hawk; August, 1915. Female (Holotype).-Similar in general appearance and structure to Phryxus ahdominalis Kr0yer, but differing markedly in having five weU-developed legs on the long side of the body, the second and third legs only being absent. The expanded epimera of the abdominal segments are usually shorter and broader than those of P. ahdominalis

A Review of Bopyrids (Crustacea: Isopoda: Bopyridae) Parasitic on Caridean Shrimps (Crustacea: Decapoda: Caridea) from China

“…are distinct from P. hodgarti, but, as he did not describe or illustrate them, their identity is unknown. REMARKS: variously referred to this taxon as a new subspecies or variety of Bopyrella deformans (Hay, 1917) (the type species of Synsynella Hay, 1917), but the name has always been used at the subspecific level.…”

Parasites (Isopoda: Epicaridea and Nematoda) from ghost and mud shrimp (Decapoda: Axiidea and Gebiidea) with descriptions of a new genus and a new species of bopyrid isopod and clarification of Pseudione Kossmann, 1881

“…-Fowler, 1912: 523 (species entry). -Hay, 1917: 573 (mention).-Van Name, 1920: 72 (mention). -Nierstrasz & Brender à Brandis, 1923: 72 (list).…”

“…-Markham, 1977: 816 (mention). Pseudione upogebiae-Pearse, 1947: 326 (in part, Beaufort, North Carolina, U.S.A., infesting Upogebia affinis (Say, 1818)) (not Progebiophilus upogebiae (Hay, 1917)). Orthione furcata-Markham, 1988: 14-17, figs.…”

“…-Heard et al, 2007: 26 (mention). not Pseudoione [sic] furcata- : 463 (mention occurrence on "Gulf coast" [Gulf of Mexico], infesting unknown host) (= Progebiophilus upogebiae (Hay, 1917)).…”

“…The genus Pseudione Kossmann, 1881, is clarified by resolving the identity of its poorly described type species: Pseudione callianassae Kossmann, 1881. Finally, four species are removed from Pseudione: 1) Pseudione overstreeti Adkison & Heard, 1995, is made the type species of Robinione n. gen. and P. brattstroemi Stuardo, Vega & Cespedes, 1986 is also moved to that genus, 2) Pseudione compressa Shiino, 1964, is moved to Ionella Bonnier, 1900, and 3) Pseudione panopei , is relegated to synonymy with Progebiophilus upogebiae (Hay, 1917).…”
