“…Remarks: Previously known as Danielopolina mexicana, this species was reassigned to Humphreysella together with other species from around the Caribbean (Iglikowska and Boxshall 2013). The present records expand the presence of this species into the Ox Bel Ha System, showing that it prefers moderate salinities near the halocline and cenotes that are 6 to 10 km inland from the coastline.…”

New records for 17 species of crustaceans from anchialine systems in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, are presented. The records come from explorations in Dzilam de Bravo, Yucatan, and from Puerto Aventuras and the Nohoch Nah Chich and Ox Bel Ha cave systems near Tulum in Quintana Roo, Mexico. For five of the 17 species dealt with here, the records presented constitute the second time those species are reported after their original descriptions. For the alpheid shrimp Yagerocaris cozumel, we present the first record of the species for continental Yucatan and for the atyid shrimp Jonga serrei, the second record from Mexico. Depth data are provided for all species.

“…The genus Vetulina is an example of a disjunct distribution (Caribbean and Eastern Indian Ocean or even SW Pacific) also reported for some other sponges (Carvalho et al 2015;Łukowiak 2016), brachiopods (Bitner et al 2008;Bitner and Motchurova-Dekova 2016), ostracods (Iglikowska and Boxshall 2013) and other crustacean fauna (Jaume and Humphreys 2001;Hoenemann et al 2013). The key event causing this species isolation is the closure of the Tethyan Seaway in the late Early Miocene (Rögl 1998).…”

“…This may correspond to the reduced Mesozoic lithistid sponge (with sphaeroclonar desmas) diversity, with Vetulina now apparently the only living representative. Other examples of such relict fauna are the anchialine ostracods (Thaumatocyprididae), which colonized caves around the shallow margins of the Tethys Sea in Mesozoic times, and which were later dispersed by plate tectonic movements (Iglikowska and Boxshall 2013). All these taxa are considered to be relicts of once widely distributed populations in the ancient Tethys Sea, of which Vetulina is the newest example.…”

First record of the genus Vetulina Schmidt, 1879 (Porifera: Demospongiae: Sphaerocladina) from the Indian Ocean with the description of two new species: biogeographic and evolutionary significance

Two new species of the genus Vetulina Schmidt, 1879 (Demospongiae, Vetulinidae, Sphaerocladina) were found off the coast of Western Australia (Indian Ocean). This genus is characterized by acrepid polyaxial desmas (sphaeroclones) equipped with arborescent branched outgrowths with spine-like processes and isometric styles as microscleres. Vetulina indica sp. nov. is an irregular, laterally folded ear-shaped cup with smooth surfaces, and V. rugosa sp. nov. is similar in shape but with a distinctive ribbed inner surface. Both species are very similar in spicule composition, but are distinguished by their gross morphology and pattern of canal openings on the surface. Despite the fact that we could not distinguish the two specimens based on molecular (CO1) data, we consider them as two separate species based on the morphological species concept. Our molecular phylogeny confirms again that Vetulina is sister to spongillids (freshwater sponges). This is the first occurrence of this genus outside the Caribbean Atlantic, and the first report from the Indian Ocean. Such a disjunct distribution is considered here to be a relict of a once widely distributed sponge population in the ancient Tethys Sea.

“…The predictive quality of the Tethyan hypothesis was articulated by Wagner (1994) who, after the discovery of a species of the thermosbaenacean Halosbaena Stock, 1976 in northern Western Australia (Poore & Humphreys 1992), hypothesized that the ostracod Danielopolina would be found there. This was confirmed by Danielopol et al (2000) who reported on the discovery of Danielopolina kornickeri Danielopol, Baltanás & Humphreys, 2000 (now treated as the type species of a new monotypic genus, Welesina kornickeri by Iglikowska & Boxshall (2013)). Yeates et al (1987) and Poore & Humphreys (1992) outlined the geological and faunistic evidence supporting the inference that northwestern Australia could be considered as a remnant of the eastern Tethyan belt.…”

A new genus and species of speleophriid copepod, Mexicophria cenoticola gen. et sp. nov., is described based on material collected from a cenote in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. It is characterised by relatively reduced fifth legs that are located adjacent to the ventral midline in both sexes, by the possession of a bulbous swelling on the first antennulary segment in both sexes, and by the reduced setation of the swimming legs. The presence of just one inner margin seta on the second endopodal segment of legs 2 to 4 is a unique feature for the family. A phylogenetic analysis places the new genus on a basal lineage of the family together with its sister taxon, Boxshallia Huys, 1988, from Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, and recovers the existing genera as monophyletic units. The zoogeography is discussed at local, regional, ocean basin and global scales.
