Genus
Zevinaella
gen. nov.
Type
species.
Scalpellum rodstromi
Boone, 1927
.
Diagnosis.
Arcoscalpellinae
with 12 capitular plates (L2s absent). Umbones of T, S, C, L1, CLs apical. Associated with Crinoidea (Echinodermata).
Composition.
Two species:
Zevinaella rodstromi
(
Boone, 1927
)
new combination
and
Zevinaella volentis
sp. nov.
Remarks.
The more or less closely related
T. pentacrinarum
(
Pilsbry, 1907
)
has not been included in the new genus because its L2s are obviously present, its peduncular plates stand in 6 rather than 8 tiers, and it occurs on
Neocrinus
rather than
Stylometra
. However, supplementary descriptions of the
holotype
and additional material of
T. pentacrinarum
are given below.
Distribution.
Atlantic, Western-Central: Caribbean. Known depth range
60 to
510 m
.
Habitat.
Crinoid assemblages of outer reef slopes.
Etymology.
Zevinaella
is named in honor of the late Professor Galina Zevina (
1926–2002
) of Moscow State University (
Russia
), author of more than a hundred papers and books on barnacles as well as an inspirational, warmhearted teacher and friend, whose untimely death in an automobile accident left a void in cirripedology (cf.
Kolbasov
et al.
, 2005
).
