Amblyraja badia

description: Amblyraja badia (Garman, 1899)
Remarks: Originally described from off Panama, this species has subsequently been reported from the ENP, north to the Bering Sea and westward to Japanese waters (Ebert, 2003). This is the only ENP species for which we have been unable to positively identify egg cases. Garman (1899) noted two egg cases that were dredged up during the Albatross expedition of 1891, the same expedition in which the holotype of A. badia was collected. However, the egg cases were collected at a different, although nearby, location from where the A. badia was caught. Therefore, it is uncertain whether these egg cases belong to that species. The egg cases were described by Garman (1899) as “covered with fine villi or pile, in longitudinal series, though harsh to the touch gives the appearance of a soft rich black velvet”. We attempted to locate these egg cases that were accessioned at the Museum of Comparative Zoology (MCZ 1009 and 1010), Harvard University for further examination, but they appear to have been lost (Ann Holmes, curator, MCZ, pers. comm.).

Bathyraja abyssicola

description: Bathyraja abyssicola (Gilbert, 1896)
Description: The egg cases of Bathyraja abyssicola (Figure 2) are large, 108 to 111 mm in length, with MAW about 67-69% of ECL. Egg case surface texture coarse and very rough to the touch, striated, the surface is irregular and with rasp-like denticles. LKW is very narrow, <5% of MAW and with a distinct groove between the lateral keel and case proper. This groove is not present in any other ENP skate egg case. Lateral keels extend onto horns and are also present on inner horns. Anterior apron border of egg case broad and concave, anterior horns more robust than posteriors at base, becoming flattened and thread-like at tips. Posterior apron is nearly straight, broad, and transverse, about 10 mm wider than anterior apron. Posterior horns long, about two times length of anteriors and about 1.2 times ECL, curved inwards, each tapering to a thread-like tip. Attachment fibers present, originating on lateral keel near the junction of exterior base of posterior horns and case. Egg cases removed from a single specimen was a light golden brown in color.
Remarks: Bathyraja abyssicola is a large, deepwater species usually found on the continental slope between 362 and 2906 m, although most records of its capture have come from> 1,000 m deep (Zorzi & Anderson, 1988). It is considered to be a rare species, but recent deepwater surveys along the ENP continental slope have revealed this skate to be more common than previously thought (unpublished data). To the best of our knowledge this is the first confirmed record and description of the egg case of this species.
Material examined: CAS 224336, 141.0 cm TL, west of Alexander Island, Washington (47.4935 N, - 125.5185 W), 1428 m, 24 August 2004.

Bathyraja microtrachys

description: Bathyraja microtrachys (Osburn & Nichols, 1916)
Description: The egg cases of Bathyraja microtrachys (Figure 5) are small, 79 to 81 mm in length, with MAW about 63-64% of ECL. The egg case surface is coarsely striated, with irregular rasp-like denticles, making its texture very rough to the touch. LKW is very narrow, <5% of MAW and not extending onto horns. Anterior apron border of egg case broad, deeply concave, anterior horns robust at base, but flattening towards tips and becoming thread-like, tips curving dorsally and back towards egg case. Posterior apron is nearly straight, broad, and transverse, width similar to anterior. Posterior horns robust at base, very long, about 66% length of anteriors and about 1.1 times ECL, curved inwards, each tapering to a thread-like tip. Attachment fibers present, extending length of lateral keel. Egg cases removed from a single preserved specimen were a dark golden brown.
Remarks: This is the first confirmed record, and description, of the egg case of this species. The egg cases described here were removed in utero from a 62.8 cm TL specimen (SIO 8780). Cox (1963: Figure 7) suggested that the egg case he described and illustrated as B. trachura may eventually prove to be this species. However, the term embryo that was removed from that egg case (CAS 25617), and described below, appear to be that of B. spinossisima (Ebert, 2005).
Until recently this species had been considered a synonym of B. trachura (Ebert, 2003). However, examination of the holotypes of B. microtrachys and B. trachura by the senior author, plus additional material confirm that these species are distinct. To further separate these two species their egg cases can be used to distinguish them from each other. The egg case of B. microtrachys differs from that of B. trachura in that the former has very narrow lateral keels and a coarsely striated surface texture that is rough to the touch, while the latter has very broad lateral keels and is smooth to the touch.
Bathyraja microtrachys is one of the deepest occurring skate species, known to occur down to at least 3,100 m (unpublished data). The shallowest record of this species is the holotype known from 1,995 m. All other records of it have come from depths greater than 2,000 m.
Material examined: SIO 8780, 62.8 cm TL, off Waldport, Oregon (44.4130 N, - 125.3410 W), 2850 m, 6 February 1987.

Bathyraja spinossisima

description: Bathyraja spinossisima (Beebe & Tee-Van, 1941)
Description: The egg case of Bathyraja spinossisima (Figure 6) is large, about 92 mm in length excluding horns, with MAW of 73% ECL. The surface is weakly striated, with both dorsal and ventral surfaces being plush to the touch. LKW is very narrow, about 3% of ECL, and extending onto horns. Attachment fibers are absent. Anterior apron broadly concaved, curving perpendicular from horizontal plane of egg case, and narrowing at tips. Posterior apron about 7 mm wider than anterior, nearly straight, broad, and transverse. Posterior horns about two-thirds ECL, curved inwards, and narrowing to tips. Egg case color after preservation is a uniform plum brown.
Remarks: A single egg case originally identified by Follett (1952: Figure 1) as that of Bathyraja trachura based on a near term embryo found inside was subsequently described by Cox (1963). This egg case has also been inaccurately illustrated in the literature as being that of B. trachura (Eschmeyer et al., 1983; Mecklenberg et al., 2002; Ebert, 2003). However, Ebert (2005) examined this egg case and embryo (CAS 25617), and compared it with egg cases removed in utero from B. trachura, and concluded that the embryo fit that of the holotype of B. spinossisima. Miller and Lea (1972) first reported the occurrence of B. spinossisma from the ENP based on this specimen, but without explanation, only giving the museum catalogue number where it is deposited. At the time Follett (1952) and Cox (1963) identified this egg case as B. trachura, B. spinossisima had not been reported from the ENP.
The holotype of B. spinossisima is an embryo that had been removed from an egg case collected in very deepwater off Panama. Interestingly, a pair of egg cases also collected off Panama, in very deepwater, by Garman (1899) in some aspects appears to fit the description of this species. Unfortunately, the egg case for the holotype of B. spinossisima and Garman’s egg cases have been lost.
Material examined: CAS 25617, egg case with embryo present, Mulberry Seamount, 78 km west of Point Montara, central California (37.2630 N, - 123.2842 W), 1400 to 2000 m, 8 February 1950.

Raja binoculata

description: Raja binoculata Girard, 1854
Description: The egg cases of Raja binoculata (Figure 8) are perhaps the most distinctive skate egg case found in the ENP. The dorsal surface is convex with two prominent ridges; no other known ENP skate egg case has these ridges. These are very large egg cases, 210 to 280 mm in length from anterior to posterior apron borders, with a MAW about 52% of ECL. Egg case surface very smooth, without striations or fibrous covering. Under magnification the surface appears smooth and without striations. LKW very broad, about 30-33% of MAW, narrowing to about 4-6% at MIW, and extending length of egg case including outer edge of horns; keels also along inner edge of horns. Attachment fibers not present. Anterior apron border broad, slightly concave, fraying along edge, anterior horns about 28-30% of ECL, curving dorsally, with tips flattening and curling toward egg case. Posterior apron broad, transverse, and fraying at edge, its width less than that of anterior. Posterior horns short, stout, about 32-38% ECL, horn base width about 24% of horn length; horns curved, and flattening towards tips. Lateral keels extend beyond horn length. Color of egg case after preservation a dark brown to greenish brown.
Remarks: The egg case of R. binoculata is perhaps the largest egg case of any known skate species, with a maximum known length, excluding horns, exceeding 300 mm (Hitz, 1964). Raja binoculata is the only skate species, except for R. pulchra Liu, 1932, known to have multiple embryos per egg case. These skates may have 2-7 embryos, with an average of 3-4 per egg case (Hitz, 1964). The Japanese endemic R. pulchra is known to have 1-5 embryos per egg case (Ishiyama, 1958b). Although it has not been studied in detail, increased fecundity, due to multiple oviparity, in these species may have significant conservation implications. Raja binoculata is known to produce up to 360 egg cases per year in captivity (Kevin Lewand, Monterey Bay Aquarium, pers. comm.). Assuming an average of 3.5 embryos per egg case the annual fecundity may reach 1,260 neonates, or more, making it one of the most fecund of all elasmobranchs.

description: Raja inornata Jordan & Gilbert, 1881
Description: The egg cases of Raja inornata (Figure 9) are very small, 68 to 73 mm in length from anterior to posterior apron borders, with MAW about 73-77% of ECL. Egg case surfaces finely striated, without fibrous covering, and very smooth to the touch. LKW is very broad, about 17-25% of MAW, and extending length of case including outer edge of horns; keels absent or very minute along inner horn edge. Attachment fibers not present. Anterior apron border broad, concave, anterior horns about 34-52% of ECL, curling ventrally, and flattening and hook-like towards tips. Posterior apron nearly straight, broad, transverse, and about 4-6 mm wider than anterior apron width. Posterior horns relatively short, about one-half ECL, curved, and flattening towards tips. Preserved egg case color dark brown becoming lighter on keels.
Remarks: The present description of this egg case differs from the original description by Cox (1963) in that we did not observe attachment fibers to be present in any of the specimens examined. Also, Cox (1963) did not comment on the broad lateral keels of these egg cases which we found to be a good characteristic for separating between similar looking egg cases, but from different species.
Material examined: Ten egg cases all deposited between July and August 2005 by R. inornata specimens held at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Two of these egg cases accessioned as CAS 224342.

description: Raja rhina Jordan & Gilbert, 1880
Description: The egg cases of Raja rhina (Figure 10) are large, 93 to 102 mm in length, with MAW about 62- 70% of ECL. Egg case dorsal surface covered with dense woven-like fibers, ventral surface with either a thin fibrous layer or without. Surface of egg case beneath fibrous layer is finely striated and smooth to the touch. LKW broad, about 13-19% of MAW, and extending length of case including outer edge of horns; an inner keel is present along edge of both anterior and posterior horns. Attachment fibers present along lateral keels, originating about midway along egg case. Anterior apron border broad and concave, anterior horns also about one-half ECL, and flattening towards tips, becoming thread-like. Posterior apron nearly straight, broad, transverse, and about 1-7 mm wider than anterior apron width. Posterior horns relatively short, about one-half ECL, curved, flattening towards tips, and becoming thread-like. Color from fresh specimens a uniform golden brown.
Remarks: DeLacy and Chapman (1935), who first described these egg cases, found that they may range up to 130 mm in length, making it one of the larger skate egg cases found in the ENP. Although Cox (1963) stated that these egg cases were very similar to that of R. inornata we found them to be quite distinct. The egg case of R. inornata is much smaller, lacks a fibrous covering, and has a broader lateral keel, without attachment fibers, relative to the maximum egg case width.

Raja stellulata

description: Raja stellulata Jordan & Gilbert, 1880
Description: The egg cases of Raja stellulata (Figure 11) are large, 91 to 92 mm in length, with MAW about 66-70 % of ECL. The egg case is covered with dense fibers on the dorsal surface, thinner on the ventral. The outer fibrous covering appears as an intricately woven sheath with a wool-like texture. Beneath these fibers the egg case is smooth, with very fine longitudinal striations. The LKW is narrow, <10% of ECL, and not extending onto horns. Attachment fibers are present along lateral keels. Anterior apron border broad and concave, anterior horns become flattened towards the tips and hook inwards. Posterior apron nearly straight, broad, transverse, and about 1-2 mm wider than anterior apron width. The posterior horns are about 5 to 6 mm longer than anteriors, curved, conical and tapering, becoming flattened, but without filamentous tips. The tips are hook-shaped at the ends. Color after preservation a uniform brown.
Remarks: The egg case of R. stellulata has not been previously described. The egg case figured by Cox (1963: figure 5) as this species is actually that of B. trachura. The egg case of R. rhina and R. stellulata are somewhat similar, but can be easily distinguished by the narrower lateral keels present on the latter. Also, the attachment fibers on R. stellulata extend the length of the lateral keels, while the fibers on R. rhina egg cases originate midway along lateral keel of egg case.

The surface is finely striated, smooth to the touch, and without a fibrous outer layer. Surface under magnification appear as shallow, wavy, concave striations. The LKW is very broad, about 14% of MAW, and folds over itself. Attachment fibers are absent. Anterior apron border broad and concave, anterior horns more robust than posterior, inner and out keels present, horn length 53-57% ECL, curving dorsally relative to aspect of egg case, and flattening to tips and curling. Posterior apron border almost straight, transverse, thinning along edge, and slightly less than width of anterior apron. Posterior horns 58- 67% of ECL, curving medially and ventrally, slightly longer than anterior, flattening to tips, and with outer and inner keels present along edges. Color in situ a light yellowish, but becoming a bronze to greenish brown after preservation (Figure 12b).
Remarks: Three examples of these large unidentified skate egg cases were collected by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) remote operated vehicle (ROV) Tiburon off San Diego, California at a depth of 1,820 m (Figure 12b). These three egg cases were nested among some rocks in what appears to be a nursery area as numerous egg cases were observed on this rough rocky relief substrate (Figure 12c). An adult male and adult female B. spinossisima were observed to swim past the ROV and it is possible that these egg cases may be of that species. However, these egg cases are unlike the egg case that we have tentatively identified as B. spinossisima in that these are not plush to the touch. The only known species that we do not have an example of its egg case is A. badia. Given the high degree of endemism found in skates and the remote offshore location of where these egg cases were observed they may represent an otherwise unknown species. Additional examples of these egg cases, perhaps some with developing embryos, will shed light on their proper identification.
Material examined: CAS 224345, three egg cases, collected by MBARI remote operated vehicle Tiburon in situ, off San Diego, California (32.9635 N, - 121.0484 W), 1820 m, 29 April 2004.

Unidentified deepsea skate egg case “B”
Description: The egg cases of this unidentified species (Figure 13a) are large, 96 to 103 mm in length, with MAW about 79-82% of ECL. The surface is finely striated, smooth to the touch, and without a fibrous outer layer. The LKW is very broad, about 12-14% of MAW, and extending length of case, tapering off along outer edge of horns. Attachment fibers are absent. Anterior apron border broad and concave, anterior horns curling ventrally, becoming flattened and hook-like towards tips, horn length about 47-54% of ECL. Posterior apron border nearly straight, broad, transverse, thinning along edge, and about similar in width to anterior apron. Posterior horns relatively long, 87-96% of ECL, flattening to a filamentous tip. Color in situ is a dark brown on the egg case proper, but becoming lighter along lateral keel and aprons (Figure 13b).
Remarks: Three examples of these large unidentified skate egg cases were collected by MBARI ROV Tiburon on the Davidson Seamount, an inactive submarine volcano located approximately 120 km southwest of Monterey, California at a depth of between 1,310 and 1,319 m (Figure 13b). These three egg cases, collected on two separate dives, were on each occasion found to be nested near deepsea corals and gorgonians in apparent nursery areas as numerous additional egg cases were observed on each dive where they were collected(Figure 13c). One of the egg cases, upon dissection, was found to contain a small developing embryo of an unknown species of skate. A female A. badia was observed swimming in the vicinity of where these egg cases were collected.
Material examined: Three egg cases collected by MBARI remote operated vehicle Tiburon in situ; CAS 224346, Davidson Seamount, California (35.721136° N, - 122.723585° W), 1312 m, 27 January 2006.

description: Embolemopsis Olmi, Rasnitsyn & Guglielmino, n. gen.
Type species: Embolemopsis baissensis Olmi, Rasnitsyn & Guglielmino, n. sp.
MALE (Fig. 1): macropterous; dorsal side of head swollen; palpal formula unknown; pronotum not distinctly visible, so that it is not possible to see if it has a strong median longitudinal furrow; forewing with 3 basal cells (CC, BC, SBC) + 1DC and 1SDC enclosed by pigmented veins; stigmal vein forming right angle with pterostigma; tibial spurs unknown.
FEMALE: unknown.
Remarks: in Embolemopsis n. gen. the forewing has 3 basal cells + 1DC and 1SDC cells enclosed by pigmented veins as in extant and fossil species of Ampulicomorpha Ashmead, 1893 (Olmi, 1996). Embolemopsis is different from Baissobius Rasnitsyn, 1975, because in Baissobius 1DC and 1SDC cells are not enclosed by pigmented veins. In addition, the new genus has a stigmal vein forming a rectangular angle with pterostigma. In the extant and fossil Embolemidae the stigmal vein forms always an acute angle with the pterostigma.

description: Baissobius minutus Olmi, Rasnitsyn & Guglielmino, n. sp.
Material examined: male holotype, PIN no. 4210/1203 from Central Siberia, West Transbaikalia, left bank of Vitim River, 3 km downstream from the former lodge Baissa, marls of Zaza formation, earlier Early Cretaceous (Neocomian stage) (130–140 mybp).
FEMALE: unknown.
MALE (Fig. 2): fully winged; length 1.7 mm. Antennae and head missing. Pronotum not distinctly visible. Notauli present, not distinctly visible, apparently incomplete. Forewing with 3 basal cells completely enclosed by pigmented veins; 1DC and 1 SDC cells not enclosed by pigmented veins. Length/breadth ratio of pterostigma: 24:12 (2.0). Ratios between body regions: scutum (14): scutellum (8): metanotum (2): propodeum (18): gaster (57): forewing (70). Legs almost completely invisible (only a hind leg is partly visible). Maxillary palpi and tibial spurs not visible.
Remarks: because of the characters of the forewing, Baissobius minutus n. sp. is similar to B. carolianus Rasnitsyn, 1996. However, the pterostigma has a different shape and the 2r-rs vein is shorter. Unluckily, the antennae of B. minutus are missing, so that it is impossible to compare them with the very characteristic antenna of B. carolianus.

Bocchus

description: Bocchus? cenomanianus Olmi, Rasnitsyn & Guglielmino, n. sp.
Material examined: female holotype, PIN no. 3901/133 from Eastern Siberia, Magadan Region, Obeschchayushchiyi fossil site, Upper Cretaceous (Cenomanian), Ola Formation (90–95 mybp).
FEMALE (Fig. 8): length 3.7 mm (only propodeum + gaster; rest of body missing); length of propodeum: 1.06 mm; length of gaster: 2.68 mm. Head, protohorax, mesothorax and metathorax missing. Propodeum with very large areolae, typical of modern Bocchus species. Petiole very short. Wings missing (but the specimen can be apterous or winged). Legs missing, except part of hind legs (coxa (0.50 mm), trochanter (0.12), femur (1.06 mm) and part of tibia are present). Ovipositor present. Tibial spurs not visible.
MALE: unknown.
Remarks: t he head, thorax, antennae, wings, fore legs, mid legs and part of hind legs of this fossil are missing. However, it is possible to identify tentatively this specimen as a female belonging to Bocchus Ashmead, 1893, because of the large areolae present on the propodeum. Among the extant Dryinids only females of Bocchus may have so large areolae. Of course, large areolae exist also in other groups (mainly among Terebrantia, more rarely in the Aculeates). On the other hand, the shape of the propodeal areolae of B. cenomanianus is typical of Bocchus.
