Microchironomus ishii

description: Microchironomus ishii Sasa, 1987
GenBank accession number. OQ400991
Material examined. 3 males, labelled ‘ Microchironomus ishii Sasa, 1987, India, West Bengal, Jalpaiguri [26.71˚N, 88.76˚E], 07.iv.2022, Coll. P. Hui’.
Remarks (Figs. 6A–C). Sasa, 1987 described this species from Japan. Sasa, 1987 described this species from Japan, collected in open light open light trap during this revisionary study. The specimen fully corroborates with M. ishii due to the presence of following diagnostic characters: anal point with small setigerous lobe at basal region, rod-like superior volsella subapically slight expanded with 3 simple setae, similar LR 2, LR 3, and wing length. Upon examining the Indian specimens, we observed that AR 2 (AR 1.6–1.8 in Japanese specimens), and Scts 4 (Scts 6–12 in Japanese specimens). Moreover, other significant characters are as follows: eyes with dorsomedial extension of 140 µm; V shaped anal tergite band; gonocoxite 105–110.5 µm long; gonostylus 122–130 µm long; anal point 70–73.5 µm long and widened basally with 3 setae lateral to anal point; superior volsella 48–50 µm long with little expansion at sub-apical end have 3 setae (1 seta at apex, 2 setae located sub-apically); HR 0.86–0.87; HV 2.85–3.
Distribution. The species is reported first time from India, West Bengal. Previously the species was reported from Japan.

Remarks (Figs. 7A–C). Guha & Chaudhuri (1979) described adult male of this species as Cryptochironomus fuscitarsus while Chaudhuri & Chattopadhyay (1988) described immature stages of this species and transferred this species into the genus Microchironomus. We noticed that few characters of the original description of the adult male are erroneous. Revised characters are: anal tergite band V shaped; superior volsella tapered gradually bearing 3 setae (1 seta at apex and 2 at sub-apex), 57–60 µm long; anal point medially swollen, 76–80 µm long, parallel shaped; laterosternite IX with 3–4 setae on each side of anal point.
Distribution. India, West Bengal.

description: Notes on Stichodactyla haddoni & Stichodactyla gigantea
Among the most complicated nomenclatural problems to arise among the clownfish-hosting sea anemones is the one that involves the species that have long been recognized by Dunn (1981) and the broader community as S. haddoni (Saville-Kent, 1893) and S. gigantea (Forsskål, 1775). Recently, Bennett-Smith et al. (2021) demonstrated that what Dunn (1981) recognized as S. gigantea does not occur in the Red Sea, nor in the broader Indian Ocean West of the Bay of Bengal. Their conclusion was that the species currently recognized as S. gigantea has never occurred in the Red Sea, and thus, Dunn (1981) had misattributed Forsskål’s 1775 description of Priapus giganteus to the wrong clownfish-hosting sea anemone species. Bennett-Smith et al. (2021) document two clownfish-hosting species from the Red Sea in the genus Stichodactyla: S. haddoni and S. mertensii. Unfortunately, as Dunn (1981) and Bennett-Smith et al. (2021) both noted, Forsskål’s description is not diagnostic and the type specimen has not been found. Dunn (1981) ultimately elevated Forsskål as the authority of the species she recognizes as S. gigantea based on Forsskål’s comment on the extreme adhesiveness of the tentacles. Both S. haddoni and S. mertensii have adhesive tentacles where they co-occur in the Red Sea and combined with the lack of diagnostic description from Forsskål, the name S. gigantea could equally be applied to either species.
Further complicating matters is Dunn’s nomenclature for these three taxa in the genus Stichodactyla have been consistently applied in the scientific community for over 30 years, and S. haddoni is an especially popular animal in the ornamental aquarium trade. Swapping and synonymizing species names for two animals that have long been recognized as clownfish-hosting sea anemones does not foster nomenclatural stability and will likely serve to further the long-standing confusion surrounding the taxonomy and identification of these anemones in the literature and among aquarium trade hobbyists. As such, we have petitioned the ICZN to retain Dunn’s (1981) usage for S. haddoni (Saville-Kent, 1893) and S. gigantea (Forsskål, 1775) (Rodríguez et al. in press: case 3885). This will maintain nomenclatural stability at the species level while minimizing the number of species-level name changes among these close relatives until a thorough revision of morphological and genomic data is completed.

description: Radianthus malu (Haddon & Shackleton, 1893) (Figure 12; Figure S6)
The “malu ” or “delicate” sea anemone, Radianthus malu, is the least well-known clownfish-hosting sea anemone species. Individuals are generally small, but can reach 200mm in oral disc diameter, and are characterized by stubby irregularly shaped tentacles (Figure 12; Figure S6). In general, tentacles are short (rarely exceeding 40mm in length) and bulbous, leading to a bluntly rounded tentacle tip. However, in some individuals, the bulbous swelling occurs lower on the tentacle leaving the tentacle tip to taper to a point (Figure 12D). As in R. magnifica, the tentacles often have a bright purple dot in the center of their bulbous tips (Figure 12 A-C) but the tip can also be various shades of green (Figure 12E). Typical body and tentacle color for this species ranges from tan/cream to green and purple. Tentacles are typically sparse, leaving the oral disc visible in most individuals (Figure 12B, E). The oral disc is often radially striped (Figure 12B, E). Verrucae are present and form longitudinal rows on the upper portion of the column. Verrucae are strongly adhesive and often hold debris and sediment (Figure 12C). The lower portion of the column and pedal disc are buried in sediment and obscured from view.
This species occupies sand pockets in or adjacent to reefs as well as other calm sandy habitats. When disturbed, R. malu will retract completely into the sand. The reproductive mode for R. malu is thought to be sexual only. Individuals are typically found as solitary anemones but can be found adjacent to other anemones on occasion. This species is not always found hosting clownfishes, but when they do, they typically host juvenile fish. In life, this species can look like a cross between Entacmaea quadricolor and R. crispa and thus it is possible to confuse the three when making identifications in the field. Unlike E. quadricolor, R. malu has verrucae, and unlike R. crispa, the tentacles are stubby and sparse on the oral disc.
The geographic range of R. malu is centered in the Coral Triangle and extends South to Australia, North to Japan and West to the Southern Red Sea (Figure 13). However, this species does occur east to the Marshall Islands and all the way to the Hawaiian Islands where it does not host clownfish. This is the only clownfish-hosting sea anemone species to make it as far east as Hawaii.

description: Stichodactyla mertensii Brandt, 1835 (Figure 18; Figure S9)
Merten’s carpet anemone, Stichodactyla mertensii, is among the largest sea anemone species in the world (clownfish-host or otherwise), regularly reaching oral disc diameters of one meter (Figure 18; Figure S9). Stichodactyla mertensii has tentacles that are variable in length, with the inner tentacles around the mouth considerably longer (50-80 mm) than marginal ones (6-12 mm; Figure 18C). This difference in tentacle morphology is unique among the carpet anemones and serves as one diagnostic character that can be used to differentiate S. mertensii from S. haddoni or S. gigantea. Regardless of length, all tentacles are digitiform and otherwise alike (Figure 18B). Tentacles are less densely packed than S. haddoni, leaving the oral disc more exposed in some individuals. Tentacle color is almost exclusively browns and greens. Endocoelic tentacles can form radial striping patterns as in S. haddoni (Figure 18E). The column is typically pale in color and contains bright and highly contrasting verrucae in longitudinal rows that are orange, red, and purple. Spots that are similarly colored to the verrucae extend the entire length of the column; this is unique among the carpet anemone host species (Figure S9B).
This species is the only carpet anemone to be found draped prominently over hard substrate on fore reef environments (Figure 18; Figure S9). It attaches its column deeply into crevices in the reef substrate (Figure S9B). Weak column musculature prohibits the anemone from fully retracting. The combination of longer tentacles around the mouth, reddish non-adhesive verrucae, and hard reef microhabitat form three important characters for identifying this species in the field.
Geographically, this species is widespread throughout the Indo-West Pacific. It ranges from the Northern Red Sea, Indian Ocean, Coral Triangle, and into the Central Pacific at least to the Marshall Islands (Figure 19). It is found north into the Japanese Archipelago, south to Australia and Mozambique Channel. Its range in the South Pacific appears to stop at Tonga and does not extend to the Cook Island or French Polynesia.

Records from Turkey: Erzurum Province—“ Sperchon (Scutosperchon) senguni ” Özkan (1982, 1989).
Remarks. This species has not been recorded since the first description that was based on a single male from Erzurum Province (Özkan 1982, 1989). In the orginal description, Özkan compared Sperchon senguni with S. clupeifer, probably due to the presence of a dorsal shield in the male of both species. However he obviously overlooked in combination with the presence of a large dorsal shield in male, the similarity in palp morphology (palp stout, with inflated P-2 and P-3 distal margins forming strongly developed sheaths flanking base of P-4) with the species from the denticulatus species group. Due to a relatively slender palp Sperchon senguni resembles S. hibernicus Halbert, 1944. Özkan did not mention the presence of a ventral plate between the genital region and posterior margin of the idiosoma, but it is possible that small postgenital platelet (characteristic for S. hibernicus) escaped to the attention of Özkan. The holotype of Sperchon senguni needs to be examined to clarify its taxonomic state.

Remarks: Due to the similar the integument sculpture (formed exclusively by fine denticles) and P-3 bearing one ventral seta (Fig. 6C –D), Sperchon tarnogradskii closely resembles S. insignis Walter, 1906, from which it differs exclusively in P-3 being larger in size. The variability of further populations needs to be examined to clarify the taxonomy. Figures 4A–E show some morphological details of the specimens from Bingöl Province.

Records from the study area: Konya Province—“ Sperchon fundamentalis “ Boyaci & Özkan (1994), Rize Province—Pešić et al. (2007).
Remarks. In the orginal description, Bader & Sepasgozarian (1980b) compared Sperchon fundamentalis with the taxonomically distant species S. cornutus K. Viets, 1935, S. cornutoides Lundblad, 1941, S. hirsutas Cook, 1967, S. ootacamundis Cook, 1967 and S. tridentatus Sokolow, 1940 but were not aware of the close similarity to S. glandulosus. In fact, neither figures nor measurements in the orginal description reveal any significant difference to S. glandulosus. Furthermore, re-examination of one specimen from the type series of Sperchon fundamentalis as well as much material from a different part of Iran attributed by Pešić et al. (2004) to the latter species did not produce any other morphological differences to S. glandulosus. Furthermore, the gnathosoma of all examined specimens has in its distal part a more or less elevated ventral keel and a more elongate and pointed rostrum, characters typical for S. glandulosus (Lundblad, 1956).
