A new genus and species of the family Ectinosomatidae (Crustacea : Copepoda : Harpacticoida) from the groundwaters of India

Revision ofTrophoniellaHartman, 1959 (Polychaeta, Flabelligeridae)

“…angulifrons Sars, 1919;and E. tenerum Sars, 1920a. As has been pointed out by Karanovic and Pesce (2001), Vervoort (1962: 399) explicitly fixed Ectinosoma sarsii Boeck, 1873 as type species of the subgenus Halectinosoma. Lang (1965: 11), who upgraded Halectinosoma to generic status, did not mention Vervoort's (1962) designation.…”

A new species of the genusHalectinosoma(Copepoda, Harpacticoida, Ectinosomatidae) from Korea

“…This presently causes a problem in the taxonomy of the genus (Clément & Moore 1995, 2000 (Soyer 1972, Huys & Bodin 1997, Clément & Moore 2000, Karanovic & Pesce 2001, Wells 2007, Huys 2009, Boxshall et al 2010, Sua´rez-Morales & Fuentes-Reinés 2015 are provided in Table 1. In most Halectinosoma species, the armature formula of the antennary exopod is a typical ''1.1.2'', but the seta on the first segment is known to be absent in several species as well as H. foveolata (see Table 1).…”

“…The genus Halectinosoma Vervoort, 1962 is a large group composed of about 70 nominal species within the family Ectinosomatidae (Soyer 1972, Huys & Bodin 1997, Clément & Moore 2000, Karanovic & Pesce 2001, Wells 2007, Huys 2009, Boxshall et al 2010, Sua´rez-Morales & Fuentes-Reinés 2015. The name of this genus was first proposed as a subgenus of the genus Ectinosoma Boeck, 1865 by Lang (1944), and Vervoort's (1962) consequently designated Ectinosoma (Halectinosoma) sarsi Boeck, 1873 as the type species of the subgenus (Sua´rez-Morales & FuentesReinés 2015).…”

“…Known species have been recorded in Japan [H. arenicola (Rouch 1962), H. japonicum (Miura 1964) (but, present in the species inquirendae by Karanovic & Pesce 2001), and H. perforatum Itô, 1981(Miura 1964, Itô 1973, 1981, Karanovic & Pesce 2001; and Korea [H. perforatum (Kim et al 2015)]. According to some ecological studies on benthic harpacticoids in this region (Mu et al 2002, Back et al 2009), however, many species belonging to this genus are still awaiting description.…”

A new genus of Ectinosomatidae (Copepoda, Harpacticoida) from sublittoral sediments in Ubatuba, São Paulo State, Brazil, including an updated key to genera and notes on Noodtiella Wells, 1965

“…Th e genus Pseudectinosoma Kunz, 1935 appears to have descended from a coastal brackish water ancestor and primarily inhabits karstic springs, bores, wells, phreatic lakes and hyporheic habitats in Europe and Australia (Galassi et al 1999;Karanovic 2006). A third freshwater incursion was reported by Karanovic and Pesce (2001) who described Rangabradya indica from subterranean waters in India. Various other ectinosomatid species have been recorded in low salinity habitats but at least for some of them the generic placement needs re-evaluation (e.g.…”
