Aplidium variabile

description: Aplidium variabile (Herdman, 1886)
References: Amaroucium variabile Herdman 1886: 216, pl. XXIX, fig. 7–12. Aplidium variabile Millar, 1960: 32, fig. 2B; Monniot & Monniot 1983: 30 (synonymy); Sanamyan & Schories 2003: 92, fig. 1B, 2E–F; Lagger et al. 2009: 178, fig. 2C.
Material examined: one colony; net; -37.9942 lat. -55.2175 long. (station 1); 250 m; 10 August 2012.
The only colony found is small and irregular in shape, with half of its side slightly convex and the other half plane. It measures 1.8 cm long by one cm wide and 0.4 cm thick. The tunic is smooth and transparent. Zooids are orange when alive and dull yellow after fixation in formalin. They are arranged parallel to each other.
Zooids reach an average of 2.5 mm in length, with the post-abdomen comparatively shorter than most Polyclinidae (from 0.8 to 1.6 mm). However, this feature might be related to the state of sexual maturation of the present colony. The small atrial aperture is located at the level of the third, fourth or fifth row of stigmata. The atrial languet is simple, short and triangular.
There are ten to 12 thin longitudinal muscles on each side of the zooid. The thorax bears 12 rows of stigmata. Each half row contains from 12 to 16 stigmata.
The stomach has from 12 to 14 well-marked folds. The middle intestine forms a middle-sized posterior swelling. The border of the anus is smooth and it can end at the level of the ninth, tenth or eleventh row of stigmata.
All zooids showed scarcely developed gonads. No larvae were found.
Remarks. Aplidium variabile is a common eurybathic species collected from 20 down to 1097 m depth (Herdman 1886). Its known range of distribution is Circum Sub-Antarctic, with the majority of its records around the Magellan Strait. This is the second record for the type locality (off Mar del Plata, Argentine Sea), since its discovery during the Challenger expedition.

Synoycum molle Van Name 1945: 84, fig. 20; Maggioni et al. 2016: 181 –185, figs. 2–4.
Material examined: seven colonies; net; -37.9783 lat. -55.1983 long. (station 3); 308 m; 16 August 2012 (Fig. 6).
Colonies are ovoid. They show various sizes, ranging from 2.5 to 9.1 cm in diameter. The tunic is grayish. When alive, zooids are white. When fixed in formalin, they turn pale yellow. The atrial languet is thin and long, and can be simple or bifid. There are 13 rows of stigmata. Each half row contains ten rectangular stigmata. The stomach wall is smooth and shows two alternate shapes: circular, almost spherical or dome-shaped with a straight base. The anus is bilobed and finishes at the eighth row of stigmata.
Remarks. Until this date, only one colony (the type specimen) had been collected 1097 m deep (Herdman 1886) few kilometres away from the present study area. Van Name (1945) acknowledged the inadequacy of the original description for a proper species identification. The present material allowed to perform the first exhaustive and complete morphological description of S. molle (see Maggioni et al. 2016).

description: Synoicum sp.
Material examined: one colony; net; -37.9966 lat. -55.2079 long. (station 4); 319 m; 17 August 2012 (Figure 7).
The colony is almost spherical. It measures two cm in diameter and 1.8 cm in height (Fig. 7). Zooids present a short post-abdomen. The oral aperture has six lobes. The atrial aperture is small and simple, and it is located at the upper quarter of the thorax. The atrial languet is simple and short. There is no constriction connecting the abdomen and the post-abdomen. There are eight rows of stigmata. The stomach is rounded and its walls are smooth. The gut loop is simple.
Numerous underdeveloped tailless larvae were found in the atrial cavities of some zooids. There was evidence of strobilation, a characteristic asexual type of reproduction in most Polyclinidae members.
Remarks. Due to the poor state of conservation and stage of sexual maturation of the zooids, the colony was characterized up to genus level. No reliable indicators of species status could be distinguished. The absence of a constriction between the thorax and abdomen, in combination with the presence of a rounded and smooth-walled stomach and a simple gut-loop, enabled us to classify the present specimen as Synoicum.

Material examined: several colonies adhered to the tunic of Ascidia meridionalis; trawl; -37.9876 lat. -54.6906 long. (station 8); 854 m; 11 August 2012 —three colonies adhered to corals; trawl; -37.9530 lat. -55.1843 long. (station 2); 291 m; 10 August 2012 —one colony on one fragment of coral; trawl; -37.9651 lat. -54.5320 long. (station 10); 1144 m; 11 August 2012 (Figures 8 A–D).
Colonies configure flat and encrusting white patches on the tunics of A. meridionalis, debris and corals (Fig. 8A). The most superficial layer shows the greatest amount of spicules, which are specially concentrated around the oral apertures (Fig. 8B). Distributed unevenly and attached to the substrate, numerous yellow and spherical eggs (approximately 0.9 mm in diameter) were found (Fig. 8C).
The zooids show an average length of 1.8 mm. Thorax and abdomen have the same size. The atrial languet is short and triangular. There is no muscular appendage. The thorax is separated from the abdomen by a thin and short neck. The stomach is rounded, almost spherical, and smooth-walled. The gonads, both male and female, are situated inside the intestinal loop. The number of male follicles ranges from three to four. They are densely packed in pear-shaped lobes. The vas deferens makes three to four spiral turns around them (Fig. 8D). In some zooids only the ovary is developed.
Remarks. On the revision of the colonies described by Millar (1960) as Didemnum trivolutum from the Argentine Sea (Malvinas / Falkland Islands and Patagonian shelf), Monniot & Monniot (1983) concluded that these specimens corresponded to the genus Polysyncraton based on: (1) the presence of one pointed atrial languet and (2) the morphology of the testes. Polysyncraton trivulutum is an eurybathic species, widely distributed in Antarctic and Sub-Antarctic waters up to the Patagonian shelf (Argentine Sea). The present is the northernmost record of the species. It is also the first record of the species below 935 m (Kott 1969).

Ascidia meridionalis

description: Ascidia meridionalis Herdman, 1880
References: Ascidia meridionalis Herdman 1880: 465; Monniot et al. 2011: 22 (synonymy).
Material examined: One individual; trawl; -37.9951 lat. -54.6975 long. (station 7); 852 m; 11 August 2012 —Six individuals; trawl; -37.9876 lat. -54.6906 long. (station 8); 854 m; 11 August 2012 —Six individuals; trawl; - 38.0083 lat. -54.4178 long. (station 11); 1200 m; 12 August 2012 —Two individuals; net; -37.9548 lat. -54.3909 long. (station 12); 1308 m; 12 August 2012 (Figures 10 A–C).
The specimens are oval in shape and measure 2.5 to 12.2 cm in length (Fig. 10A). A single row of 28 to 54 filiform and simple oral tentacles are placed in alternated sizes on a wide oral velum (Fig. 10B). A small dorsal tubercle opens in a wide U or V, with slightly rolled horns. The branchial sac extends down to the body end, covering the entire digestive system. A specimen (nine cm in length) presented 70 longitudinal vessels on its right side and 60 on its left side. The stigmata range from five to ten per mesh. There are crooked branchial papillae at the intersection of every longitudinal and transverse vessel. Intermediate simple papillae are very frequent although not constant (Fig. 10C). The border of the anus is simple and ends at the level of the top of the primary intestinal loop. The gonads and ramified gonoducts lie on top of the digestive system.
Remarks. Ascidia meridionalis resembles the closely allied species A. challengeri Herdman, 1882. Both share the same general aspect and are distributed in the Sub-Antarctic and Antarctic regions. Monniot & Monniot (1983) and Monniot et al. (2011) give a list of reliable characters to distinguish between the two species. The examination of the collected specimens proceeding from an area very close to the type locality allowed us to update those characters. We strongly discourage the use of the presence of intermediate branchial papillae and the number of oral tentacles, since both characters showed intermediate values. Instead, we recommend the use of a set of particular differences which are resumed in Table 4.
This is the first register of the species below 1097 m (Herdman 1880).

References and synonymy: Styela squamosa Herdman 1881: 66; Sanamyan & Sanamyan 2006: 321, figs. 7–9 (synonymy); 2012: 67, fig. 3.
Material examined: One individual; trawl; -37.9651 lat. -54.5320 long. (station 10); 1144 m; 11 August 2012 (Figure 12).
The specimen measures 1.9 cm high and 1.2 cm wide. It was found completely covered by a thick and tough layer of sediment, with rests of sand and pebbles (Fig. 12). There are 18 oral tentacles disposed on the margin of an oral velum. The muscle fibers are densely packed and equally distributed on both sides. The branchial sac has four well developed folds on each side. Thin parastigmatic vessels are present. The stomach presents 24 well-marked folds and bears a small straight pyloric caecum. The border of the anus is triangular and ends near the atrial opening. There is one sinuously curved gonad on each side. The ovary is long and narrow. The small testicular follicles are placed around the distal part of each ovary. Numerous endocarps are distributed on both sides of the body.
Remarks. Styela squamosa has been described from most ocean basins in the world, except from the North Atlantic and Indian Oceans, at depths ranging from 165 to 5000 m. This data permits to classify S. squamosa as an eurybathic and cosmopolitan deep-sea species (Monniot C. 1993). There is, though, some degree of character variation that falls into the range of standard intra-specific variability. Our specimen encountered off La Plata River (SW Atlantic), is closest to the description made by Sanamyan (1992) of a few individuals from the Sea of Okhotsk (NW Pacific) in relation to the shape of the border of the anus. While previous descriptions state that the border of the anus is bilobed, Sanamyan´s specimens as well as ours, present a triangular border. The only difference between our specimen and all the rest resides in the number of oral tentacles: 18 in ours and around 30 in the rest.

Asajirus indicus Kott 1989: 521 –524, fig. 1; Sanamyan & Sanamyan 2006: 339 –342; fig. 19 (synonymy).
Material examined: 1 individual; trawl; -37.9651 lat. -54.5320 long. (station 10); 1144 m; 11 August 2012 —3 individuals; net; -37.9448 lat. -54.1832 long. (station 13); 1508 m; 13 August 2012 —11 individuals; net; -37.8717 lat. -53.9572 long. (station 14); 1738 m; 15 August 2012 (Figures 15 A–D).
Specimens are spherical, either ovoid or pyriform-shaped (Fig. 15A). The biggest specimen measured 2.8 cm long by 2.4 cm wide, while the smallest one was 0.8 cm long by 0.6 cm wide. The oral aperture is surrounded by six big and thick triangular lobes (which Kott 1989 denominated “branchial arms”) with pinnate margins. Internally, these lobes acquire branches of the third order. The atrial aperture, located at approximately 1/5 from the oral aperture, is inconspicuous. The short pharynx presents two circular perforations that connect with the lateral pharyngeal chambers which, in turn, open to the atrial cavity (Fig. 15B). The stomach occupies the totality of the ventral side (Fig. 15C). It is connected with a large and folded hepatic pouch lying above it through a short duct with a circular aperture. The sperm-ducts are also short and open directly into the atrial cavity (Fig. 15D).
Remarks. On the revision of the family Hexacrobylidae, Kott (1989) made Hexacrobylus indicus Oka, 1913 the type species of the new genus Asajirus. Monniot & Monniot (1990) described several species of this group under a new genus Hexadactylus (an objective synonym of Asajirus). Sanamyan & Sanamyan (2006) discussed the features used by Monniot & Monniot (1990) to distinguish among several species and concluded, as Kott 1989 did, that they could not justify specific separation. We agree with Kott (1989) in the recognition of only three species under Asajirus: Asajirus indicus (Oka, 1913), Asajirus dichotomus (Monniot C. & Monniot F., 1984) and Asajirus gulosus (Monniot C. & Monniot F., 1984). Based on morphological evidences Kott (1989) signaled the close relationship between Hexacrobylidae and Molgulidae. Phylogenetic studies based on 18S rDNA sequences confirmed that the former are in fact highly modified carnivorous Molgulidae (Tatián et al. 2011).

Wandsleb leg., CDW.
Comparative notes. Morvan described Pseudopedius iranicus in 1974 (Fig. 6). Subsequently, Pseudopedius Seidlitz, 1887 was synonymized with Ancholeus Dejean, 1828 and P. iranicus was listed by Bousquet, 2017 as Poecilus (Ancholeus) iranicus. Morvan mentioned in the description of this species that antennomere 3 is not keeled. Species of the subgenus Ancholeus are characterized by the presence of a keel on antennomere 3, while species of the related subgenus Derus Motschulsky, 1850 are characterized by the absence of this keel. A comparison of a paratype of P. iranicus with P. (Derus) advena showed no difference between these taxa, hence P. iranicus is synonymous with P. advena.
Distribution. Transcaucasia, the Southern Russian Plain, Ciscaucasia, the uplands of Armenia, the plains of Kazakhstan, and the plains of Middle Asia to the Altais-Sayan Mt. Land. (Kryzhanovskij et al. 1995). The species also occurs in Ukraine and Georgia, both countries were not mentioned in Löbl & Löbl 2017.

Diagnosis. According to Carvalho’s (1982) description this species can be recognized by the pale patch in the middle of the hemelytron, pale yellowish coxae, and the endosoma with large, serrate lobe.
It appears most similar to C. simplex in sharing dark castaneous or dark brown dorsum, with hemelytron with small pale patch in the middle and endosoma without sclerites. C. barensis is distinguished, however, by the larger size (4.5–4.6 mm) and the darker, fuscous antennal segment II.

Diagnosis. Based on the original description provided by Carvalho (1989a) this species can be recognized by the dark castaneous head with the pale castaneous areas on sides of the clypeus, vertex and frons, the pale castaneous posterior lobe of the pronotum, except for its black lateral margins, the black hemelytron with the pale castaneous clavus, endocorium, basal portion of the embolium, and the apex of cuneus, the tibias with the three black annulations.
It appears most similar to C. marmoreus in sharing hemelytron with pale patches and tibiae with pale annulations (Fig. 8). It differs, however, by the longer body (4.8 mm) (Carvalho 1989a).
