These two species are similar to + +N. solitaria + + +n. sp. + +, in having small auricles, a long median antenna, and bulbous boot-shaped ventral ctenidia. However, they differ in the length of the appendages from the first anterior segments, the shape of the branchiae, and the +type +of neurochaetae. + + + +Neoleanira solitaria + + +n. sp. + +differs from + +N. areolata + +in having the dorsal cirri from segment 3 longer, ¼ longer than the ones on + +N. areolata + +( +McIntosh 1885 +; pl. 21, fig. 3; +Imajima 2003: 57 +, fig. 32a). The main feature that distinguishes + +N. areolata + +from + +N. solitaria + + +n. sp. + +, and from the rest of the species of + +Neoleanira + +is the presence of spur-like processes in the basis of the branchiae from the median and posterior region ( +Hartman 1960: 185 +, Pl. 4; +Pettibone 1970b: 373 +, fig. 5b–c, fig. 6a–b; +Imajima 2003: 59 +, fig. 34a–b). While all the known species of + +Neoleanira + +possess entire branchiae, including + +N. solitaria + + +n. sp. + +, records of + +N. areolata + +in the Eastern North Pacific should be reevaluated. Ideally this would include examination of the +type +material of its regional junior synonym, + +L. calcis +Hartman, 1942 + +, since it is unlikely that a species described from +Japan +occurs along the Eastern Pacific coast. + + +On the other hand, + +N. solitaria + + +n. sp. + +differs from + +N. racemosa + +in having longer median and lateral antennae, as well as longer dorsal cirri from segment 3. + +Neoleanira solitaria + + +n. sp. + +has longer anterior appendages, the median and lateral antennae are ¼ longer than the ones on + +N. racemosa + +, and regarding the dorsal cirri from segment 3, + +N. solitaria + + +n. sp. + +it is twice as long as the ones in + +N. racemosa + +( +Fauchald 1972: 425 +, pl. 2, fig. b; +Pettibone 1989: 165 +, fig. 5A). + + +Regarding the chaetae, + +N. solitaria + + +n. sp. + +possesses neurochaetae of +two types +, simple and compound. The simple chaetae are either small spines, slightly thicker than the notochaetae, or thick fusiform chaetae. Neurochaetae are spinigers with thick handles, either smooth or with several subdistal rows of denticles, and canaliculated blades. In contrast, + +N. racemosa + +has only compound spinigers as neurochaetae, with slender handles with a terminal row of denticles, and non-canaliculated blades ( +Fauchald 1972: 425 +, pl. 2, fig. a; +Pettibone 1989: 166 +, fig. 6c). + + +Another species that + +N. solitaria + + +n. sp. + +resembles is + +N. tetragona +( +Örsted, 1845 +) + +from +Norway +with a wide distribution in the North Atlantic. These two species have small auricles, long palps, branchiae without large processes, neurochaetae with thick handles, and elytra with lateral fimbria. However, + +N. solitaria + + +n. sp. + +differs from + +N. tetragona + +in having slightly longer appendages such as median and lateral antennae, and the dorsal cirri from segment 3; whereas + +N. tetragona + +has shorter antennae and dorsal cirri ( +Table 2 +). Also, some other differences are found in the neuropodia and neurochaetae. + +Neoleanira solitaria + + +n. sp. + +has a deep notch between the upper and lower postchaetal lobes, and neurochaetae of +two types +, simple and compound chaetae, the latter being spinigers with rather long blades; whereas the notch between the upper and lower postchaetal lobes in + +N. tetragona + +is shallow, with only compound spinigers with short blades. The shape of ventral ctenidia also differs between these species, + +N. solitaria + + +n. sp. + +possesses bulbous boot-shaped ventral ctenidia, while + +N. tetragona + +has clavate ventral ctenidia ( +Pettibone 1970b: 368 +, fig. 1a, b; 370, fig. 3c; 371, fig. 4b). + + +Finally, + +Neoleanira solitaria + + +n. sp. + +differs from all + +Neoleanira +species + +in having a simple fusiform spinous neurochaeta in the upper position in the neuropodia. This is the first record of this kind of chaeta in the genus. + + + + +Biology +. The +holotype +of + +Neoleanira solitaria + + +n. sp +. + +from Station 2 of the 2015 survey is the only specimen of this species to have been identified after the collection and analysis of approximately 235 benthic samples collected from SF-DODS since monitoring began in 1996. Station 2 is located northeast of the disposal site boundary (see + +Blake +et al +. 2009 + +: fig. 2). During the site selection process for SF-DODS by the US EPA and a companion site planned by the +U.S. +Navy, oceanographic dispersion models were developed that predicted dredged material would drift to the north-northwest of the disposal site ( + +Courtney +et al +. 1994 + +). Station 2 is directly in the path of such a drift pattern and during years of heavy dredged material disposal, the sand content of the sediments increased. The 2015 sediment data for Station 2, was sand 8.6% and silt + clay 41.4% (averaged over three replicates); TOC was 1.9%. Dredged material depth at the site averaged +7.64 cm +(EPA, unpublished data). Therefore, the site where + +N. solitaria + + +n. sp +. + +occurred outside of SF-DODS had increased sand content over ambient sediments, low TOC, and deep deposits of dredged material. The more typical habitat of + +N. solitaria + + +n. sp +. + +has yet to be discovered. + + + + +Etymology. +The specific epithet + +solitaria + +(- +us +, - +um +) is a Latin singular feminine adjective in the nominative case, which means ‘solitary’ or ‘lone’ ( +ICZN 1999 +, Art. 31.2). The sole specimen of + +Neoleanira solitaria + + +n. sp. + +was found after many samplings in the area where other species of sigalionids were found. The name also refers to the presence of a solitary fusiform chaeta in the neuropodia of posterior segment, a characteristic that makes this species unique. + + + + +Distribution. +Northeastern Temperate Pacific, lower continental slope off northern +California +, +2,560 m +. + + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/03/8B/87/038B87F5FFEB5654FF2BF9A4C72BDC83.xml b/data/03/8B/87/038B87F5FFEB5654FF2BF9A4C72BDC83.xml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..8e3923a05e6 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/03/8B/87/038B87F5FFEB5654FF2BF9A4C72BDC83.xml @@ -0,0 +1,1374 @@ + + + +Description of new species of deep water Sthenolepis Willey, 1905 and Neoleanira Pettibone, 1970 (Annelida, Sigalionidae) from off Northern California, with the redescription of Sthenolepis spargens Fauchald, 1972 + + + +Author + +Cruz-Gómez, Christopher +Departamento de Sistemática y Ecología Acuática, El Colegio de la Frontera Sur, Chetumal, Quintana Roo, Mexico + + + +Author + +Blake, James A. +Aquatic Research & Consulting, 24 Hitty Tom Road, Duxbury, MA 02332, United States of America. & Department of Invertebrate Zoology, Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University, 26 Oxford Street, Cambridge, MA 02138 United States of America + +text + + +Zootaxa + + +2024 + +2024-09-12 + + +5507 + + +2 + + +224 +244 + + + + +http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5507.2.2 + +journal article +10.11646/zootaxa.5507.2.2 +1175-5326 +13757500 +45620A75-87EA-4906-821B-DAF95AA516EB + + + + + + + +Sthenolepis ruffi + +new species + + + + + + +Figs. 3–5 +, +Table 1 + + + +urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: +DF33C5EF-F24B-4C17-84A4-AF380D5A3858 + + + + + + + +Sthenolepis +sp. + +— + + +Suárez-Morales +et al. +2024: 55 + + +, figs. 1A, C (as host of a mesoparasitic copepod). + + + + + +Material examined. + + +Holotype +. + +Eastern Pacific Ocean +, +Continental +slope off northern +California +. +W of Farallon Island +, SF-DODS +Benthic Monitoring Program +, Sta. 52, + +23 Jun 2015 + +, +37.71686°N +, +123.46695°W +;

Although these species and the newly described + +Sthenolepis +species + +are morphologically similar, they can be easily distinguished based on the size of the median antennae and auricles, as well as on the +type +of neurochaetae and elytra ( +Table 1 +). + + + +Sthenolepis ruffi + + +n. sp. + +differs from + +S. fimbriarum + +in lacking eyes, having smaller auricles and a long median antenna, smooth elytra without fimbriae on its margins, and canaliculate blades. In contrast, + +S. fimbriarum + +has two pairs of eyes, large auricles, as long as the median antennal ceratophore, a short median antenna, slightly longer than the prostomium, elytra with a few fimbriae on one of its margins, and non-canaliculate blades ( +Hartman 1939: 70 +, Pl. 18, 217–225). +Hartman (1939) +originally described her species in the genus + +Leanira + +, but noted that it resembles + +Sthenelais +Kinberg, 1856 + +; however, she kept her species in + +Leanira + +because it only has spinigers. Later she transferred the species to + +Sthenolepis + +with no comment on the decision ( +Hartman 1965 +). The other genus that has spinigers is + +Eusthenelais +McIntosh, 1876 + +( +sensu +Barnich & Van Haaren 2021 +), but even in this latter genus, falcigers are present. Further, + +Eusthenelais + +presents dorsal tentacular crests and nuchal organs, features lacking in + +S. frimbriarum + +. We recommend the revision of + +Sthenolepis + +, and its comparison with other morphologically close genera such as + +Eusthenelais + +and + +Horstileanira + +. This issue is beyond the scope of the present paper. + + + +Sthenolepis spargens + +seems closer morphologically to + +S. ruffi + + +n. sp. + +, both lack eyes and have small auricles and canaliculate blades. However, the two species differ in the size of the palps and tentacular cirri and the composition of neurochaetae ( +Table 1 +). + +Sthenolepis ruffi + + +n. sp. + +has long palps reaching segment 12 and short tentacular cirri, five times as long as tentacular parapodia. Meanwhile, + +S. spargens + +has longer palps reaching segment 20 and long tentacular cirri, 12 times as long as the tentacular parapodia. Further, + +S. ruffi + + +n. sp. + +has upper neurochaetal handles with a small median subdistal tooth, and two barely noticeable smaller ones on the sides. In comparison, + +S. spargens + +has handles with an enlarged medial subdistal tooth but no additional teeth on the sides. Another difference between these species is the nature of the neurochaetal blades. + +Sthenolepis ruffi + + +n. sp. + +, bears noticeably longer blades, for instance, blades from the upper middle group (unit B) can reach up to 47 times longer than wide, and blades from the lowest group (unit D) may be non-canaliculate. While + +S. spargens + +has blades from the upper middle group (unit B) shorter, ½ as long as the ones in + +S. ruffi + + +n. sp. + +, being about 23 times longer than wide, and all blades are canaliculate, including the lowest group (unit D). + + +An additional difference observed between the three similar species, + +S. spargens + +and + +S. ruffi + + +n. sp. + +were found in deep water ( + +2,350 +–3,400 +m + +), while + +S. fimbriarum + +occurs in shallow water ( +18.2 m +). + + + + + +FIGURE 4. + +Sthenolepis ruffi + +n. sp. + +Holotype (LACM-AHF-Poly 14396).

Specimens of + +Sthenolepis ruffi + + +n. sp +. + +were collected from throughout the SF-DODS disposal area including the boundary of the actual disposal site and from numerous reference locations well outside the site (see + +Blake +et al +. 2009 + +: fig. 2). In addition, the species was collected in samples from the US Navy baseline survey prior to any dredged material disposal. As such the species is likely widespread along the continental slope off +California +. + + +Sedimentary parameters determined by subsamples from the box cores and sediment profile images (SPI) from surveys from 1996–2003 indicate that + +S. ruffi + + +n. sp +. + +occurs in sediments with fine grains (silt + clay) of 90–98% and total organic carbon (TOC) of 2.97–3.09% at distant reference stations (64 and 92) not influenced by dredged material (DM) disposal and where it was not detected in the SPI images.
