Echinoderes Dujardinii Claparède, 1863 (Kinorhyncha, Cyclorhagida): A New Record for the Kinorhynch Fauna of Turkey

Abstract

Meiobenthic samplings conducted in the framework of a meiobenthos project in the subtidal coastal waters of Sinop Bay, Southern Black Sea revealed the first report of the kinorhynch Echinoderes dujardinii for the marine fauna of Turkey.

The genus Setaphyes (Kinorhyncha, Pycnophyidae) in European waters: Redescription of Setaphyes dentatus ( ) and Setaphyes kielensis ( ), including notes on morphometrics, sexually dimorphic features and reproduction of the genus

“…More recently, research on kinorhynch taxonomy in the eastern deep-sea Mediterranean and the Anatolian Peninsula to some extent balanced out the current sampling bias towards the middle and western Mediterranean (Sönmez et al, 2016;Ürkmez et al, 2016;Yıldız et al, 2016;Yamasaki et al, 2018a,b;Yamasaki and Durucan, 2018;Sørensen et al, , 2021. Regarding records of allomalorhagids in this region, four species have been found: Setaphyes dentatus (Reinhard, 1881), Setaphyes kielensis (Zelinka, 1928) Fujuriphyes ponticus (Reinhard, 1881), and Pycnophyes paraneapolitanus (Sheremetevskij, 1974).…”
