“…Echinoderes tchefouensis Lou, 1934 from the Yellow Sea is distinguished from the new species by the presence of lateral spines/tubules only on segments 7, 10-11 (see Lou, 1934). Four species from the east Pacific, E. pennaki Higgins, 1960, E. kozloffi Higgins, 1977 from San Juan Archipelago, E. nybakkeni Higgins, 1986 from California and E. pacificus Schmidt, 1974 from Galapagos Islands, differ from E. sensibilis n. sp. by the size of the middorsal spines which are only slightly shorter or clearly longer than the corresponding segments (see Higgins, 1960Higgins, , 1977Higgins, , 1986Schmidt, 1974).…”

A new species of echinoderid kinorhynch, Echinoderes sensibilis, is described and illustrated using light and electron microscopy. The specimens were collected from masses of the red algae Corallina pilulifera growing in intertidal pools in Tanabe Bay, Honshu Island, Japan. Diagnostic characters of E. sensibilis include the presence of middorsal spines on segments 6-10; lateral spines/tubules on segments 4, 7-12; remarkable trapezium-like subventral fields of minute cuticular hairs on segments 5-12. The positions of numerous sensory spots, large sieve areas, glandular tubes and the shape of terminal tergal and sternal extensions are also diagnostic. All taxonomic characters used for this description are illustrated by SEM. Echinoderes sensibilis constitutes the fifty-eight valid species of the genus Echinoderes and the fourteenth species described from the Pacific Ocean. This is the third representative of Pacific kinorhynchs found only in the intertidal zone and the first Pacific Echinoderes living on red macroalgae in intertidal pools.

“…In fact, species such as Cephalorhyncha nibakkeni (Higgins, 1986), Fissuroderes sorenseni Herranz and Pardos, 2013 and several species of Meristoderes (Herranz et al, 2012;Herranz and Pardos, 2014) are quite suggestive in terms of general outline and very long and flexible spines. Nevertheless, and in the absence of more conclusive material, we decided to ascribe the new species to the genus Echinoderes.…”

A new genus and species of Kinorhyncha, Franciscideres kalenesos gen. et sp. nov., is described from tidal and subtidal sandy habitats in Brazil. The new genus and species is characterized by an extremely flexible trunk without pachycycli that appears perfectly circular in cross-section, segments 1, 2 and 11 consisting of closed rings and 3 to 10 of single, bent plates with midventral articulations, a neck without placids that resembles an additional segment, densely packed scale-like, cuticular hairs, and a terminal segment with a middorsal spine and two sets of lateral terminal spines, but no midterminal spine. Phylogenetic analyses of 18S rRNA of Franciscideres kalenesos gen. et sp. nov. and 47 other kinorhynch ingroup taxa suggest that the new genus is a basal homalorhagid, whereas comparison of morphological characters indicates affinities between the new genus and the peculiar cyclorhagid Cateria.http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:64E29D97-DE1D-4511-8683-C969DD2EED43
