Based on the revision of original descriptions and the contribution provided by +Knight-Jones (1983) +, we recognize three features potentially useful to comparative purposes at the interspecific level: the shape of dorsal collar margin and ventral collar lappets, and the presence or absence of ventral shields ( +Table 2 +). However, a revision based on +types +is out the scope of this paper.At the generic level, the presence of oval to circular plates or moldures on each side of the anterior peristomial ring and humps in thoracic and abdominal uncini might be diagnostic as explained below. + + + +Potamethus filitovae + +, as most species in + +Potamethus + +, have pronounced V-shaped dorsal collar margins, exposing the anterior peristomial ring and forming well developed pockets, whereas in + +P. breviuncatus +Hartmann-Schröder, 1977 + +, + +P. dubius +(Eliason, 1951) + +and + +P. japonicus +( +Johansson, 1922 +) + +dorsal collar margins form two shallow, convex semi-circles and in + +P. singularis +Hartman, 1965 + +these margins are oblique ( +Table 2 +). + + +The ventral lappets of the dorsal collar in the species of + +Potamethus + +can be triangular ( + +P. breviuncatus + +, + +P. filiformis +Hartmann-Schröder, 1977 + +, + +P. singularis + +and + +P. spatiferus +Ehlers, 1887 + +), rounded ( + +P. filitovae + +, + +P. japonicus + +, + +P. malmgreni +(Hansen, 1878) + +, + +P. mucronatus +Moore, 1923 + +, + +P. murrayi +( +McIntosh, 1916 +) + +, + +P. scotiae +( +Pixell, 1913 +)) + +or bilobed ( + +P. dubius + +). Within each category, the length of ventral lappets might be diagnostic. For example, in + +P. spathiferus + +, the triangular ventral lappets are 2.5 times longer than the chaetiger 1 length, while in the rest of species with triangular lappets, they are short (not longer than chaetiger 1) ( +Table 2 +). + + +The presence of large, brown, oval, semi-circular to circular moldures on each side of anterior peristomial ring is reported for + +P. murrayi + +, + +P. dubius + +, + +P. filatovae + +, + +P. spathiferus + +and + +P. malmgreni + +( +Table 2 +). The function of these organs is unknown, but +McIntosh (1916) +suggested that this structure is probably related to feeding in abyssal habitats. + + +The presence or absence of ventral glandular shields in species of + +Potamethus + +was already remarked by +Knight-Jones (1983) +. Whereas some species, such as + +P. dubious + +, + +P. filitovae + +, + +P. japonicus + +and + +P. scotiae +, + +have well developed shields at least in the thorax, in others ( + +P. elongatus + +, + +P. filiformis + +, + +P. mucronatus + +, + +P. murrayi + +, + +P. singularis + +and + +P. spathiferus + +) the glandular epithelium of the entire body lacks shields. However, + +P. malmgreni + +from the +type +locality (Norwegian Sea) lacks shields as reported by +Knight-Jones (1983) +, whereas specimens examined in this study from the Norwegian Sea and the Arctic Ocean have well-developed shields in both thorax and abdomen ( +Fig. 6D +). Thus, infraspecific variation of ventral shields needs to be accessed not only for + +P. malmgreni + +, but also in all species of the genus. + + +Finally, even though the number of thoracic segments cannot be used to confidently distinguish species within +Sabellidae +( +Capa 2007 +, +Tovar-Hernández and Dean, 2014 +, + +Keppel +et al. +2015 + +, + +Tovar-Hernández +et al. +2020 + +), + +P. japonicus + +was described with 17 thoracic segments, + +P. breviuncatus + +with 10, + +P. mucronatus + +with 9 and the rest of species with 8 thoracic chaetigers ( +Table 2 +). + + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/03/D5/87/03D5878DFFC4FFA5FF1EFA3AFCC97A3C.xml b/data/03/D5/87/03D5878DFFC4FFA5FF1EFA3AFCC97A3C.xml index 6c62d2f3557..67bca019e21 100644 --- a/data/03/D5/87/03D5878DFFC4FFA5FF1EFA3AFCC97A3C.xml +++ b/data/03/D5/87/03D5878DFFC4FFA5FF1EFA3AFCC97A3C.xml @@ -1,39 +1,42 @@ - - - -A new water mite species of the genus Hygrobates Koch, 1837 (Acari, Hydrachnidia, Hygrobatidae) from Far East of Russia + + + +A new water mite species of the genus Hygrobates Koch, 1837 (Acari, Hydrachnidia, Hygrobatidae) from Far East of Russia - - -Author + + +Author -Tuzovskij, Petr V. -Institute for Biology of Inland waters of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
