Willowsia

description: Genus Willowsia Shoebotham, 1917
This genus is characterized by having 8+8 eyes within black or dark blue patches of pigment, a bidentate mucro with a smooth basal spine, and broad scales mostly pointed apically and with sculpturing ranging from many short spinules to more than two long ribs (Zhang et al. 2011), but lack scales and spines on the dens, antennal subsegmentation, and differentiated “smooth” setae on the inner surface of the hind tibiotarsus.
In addition, all species of Willowsia found in the Americas share the following characters: apical antennal bulb usually unilobed, rarely bilobed; sensilla 2–3 (i.e., main sensilla) of the apical sense organ of Ant. III smooth and blunt; eyes G and H smallest; five interocular setae (pqrst); labral setae 5,5,4 and smooth; subapical and apical setae of the outer maxillary lobe smooth and subequal; labial palp with 5 smooth proximal setae; post labial setae ciliate; unguis with one outer, two lateral and four inner teeth; unguiculus lanceolate, outer edge serrate; tenent hairs spatulate; tenaculum with 4+4 teeth and one large mac; mucro bidentate, basal spine reaching apex of subapical tooth; accessory mic of bothriotrichal complexes on Abd. II–IV unmodified; tergal S-chaetotaxy (Th. II – Abd. VI) ms as 1,0|1,0,1,0,0,0, sens as 2,2|1,2,2,+,3,0 (Abd. IV with high and variable number of sens).

Kana semela danae (linnavuori)

description: Kana semela danae (Linnavuori), n. comb.
Remarks. Linnavuori (1979) illustrated the head, pronotum, forewing, male pygofer, style and aedeagus of the nominotypical subspecies of K. semela. He did not illustrate the connective but stated that it was "as in Afronirvana. " Species of Afronirvana have a median anterior lobe on the connective. However, the specimen of K. semela examined here, which otherwise matches Linnavuori's description and illustrations of this species, has the connective Y-shaped without any trace of a median anterior lobe and is, thus, indistinguishable from that of Oriental species of Kana. Viraktamath and Wesley (1988) noted that Yaoundea Linnavuori, known only from its African type species, is very similar to and possibly synonymous with Kana. We were unable to find characters distinguishing Yaoundea from Kana and therefore formally propose the synonymy of these two taxa (see above). Based on illustrations provided by Linnavuori (1979) and Viraktamath and Wesley (1988), the African species K. semela, is very similar to the Sri Lankan species K. ordinata Distant, differing mainly in having the aedeagal shaft swollen near its midlength in lateral view and in having the median apical process of the aedeagus longer.

Diagnosis (from Thandar & Arumugam 2011, amended herein).
Dendrochirotid holothuroids with about 12 tentacles, digitate, unbranched. Calcareous ring simple, without posterior bifurcation of the radial plates; test absent; body wall ossicles non-contiguous, comprising simple tables with mostly trilocular to multilocular smooth disc, with a solid or 3-pillared spire ending in 2–3 (sometimes 4), smooth or toothed processes.
Remarks. In the diagnosis of their new family, the authors state that the spire of the table ends in 2–3 smooth, diverging processes. Ludwig & Heding’s description of the tables is not clear and no tables could be found in the still extant holotype. However, in the current specimens it appears that C. triplex, the type species, has a spire ending in 3-, sometimes 4-toothed processes. The diagnosis is, therefore, here amended to include this feature.

Remarks. Hexarhopalus (H.) sculptilis Kaszab, 1960 was originally described from Myanmar and recorded from Yunnan, China by Ren and Xu, 2011. All studies lack description of the genital characters. We hereby provide the supplementary descriptions with genital characters. Furthermore, the Chinese specimens display two color types: bicolourable legs with dark brown body (Fig. 5) and concordant black body (Fig. 6). However, they were collected from the same location and possessed the same type of the genitalia.

Diagnosis (see Thandar 2006).
Material examined. SAMC-A 090921, SM123, off south of Scottburgh, 30°33.04’ S, 30°48.06’ E, heavy dredge, 690 m, 10.V.1977, 5 spec.; SAMC-A 090922, SM129, off Margate, 30°53.04’ S, 30°31.07’ E, heavy dredge, 850 m, 11.V.1977, 7 spec.; SAMC-A 090923, SM232, off south of Port St. Johns, 32°10.9’ S, 29°10.4’ E, heavy dredge, 620– 560 m, 25. VI.1979, 6 spec.; SAMC-A 090924, SM236, off Transkei, south of Port St. Johns, 32°14.03’ S, 29°11.06’ E, heavy dredge, 660–670 m, 25. VI.1979, 1 spec.
Description. Specimens slightly to strongly U-shaped, the latter perhaps due to preservation (Figure 13A). Size-range 5–10 mm along ventrum, and up to 1 mm in breadth in mid-body. Mouth and anus terminal, anterior end broader than posterior end with anus lying slightly above level of mouth. Colour in alcohol beige-grey, more pronounced ventrally and sometimes also orally. Tentacles retracted, anal teeth and anal papillae absent. Tube feet sparse (Figure 13A), located in ambulacra, better developed ventrally, non-retractile, most protruding from body surface, decreasing in size in both directions; suckers well developed. Largest specimen with about six large tube feet in all ventral ambulacra. Smaller specimens with only few long ventral tube feet. Dorsal tube feet present, also confined to ambulacra but few and minute. Suckers of the dorsal tube feet much reduced. Body wall rigid due to presence of imbricating scales/plates which are either smooth (Figure 13B) or slightly nodular (Figure 13C). Tentacles 8, digitate or finger-shaped but finely branched, 6 large, of unequal size, 2 much reduced. Internal anatomy, including ossicles, as described for the type by Thandar (2006).
Distribution. South-east coast of South Africa, 620– 850 m.
Remarks. This species has been adequately described from the holotype and 24 paratypes by Thandar (2006) from material collected off Port St. Johns—East London area by the same cruise on 24.VI.1979 at 710– 775 m. Thandar compared his material with P. octodactyla Thandar, 1998 and requires no further comments.

Pseudophallus Herald, 1940:51,
Type species Siphostoma starksii Jordan & Culver in Jordan, 1895, by original designation, gender: masculine.
Diagnosis. Pseudophallus has a single apomorphic diagnostic character that is the presence of a phallus-like anal papilla in sexually mature females (Figure 2). The following combination of characters also aids to distinguish the genus: pregnant males with dermal folds of the brood pouch curving from the lateral of the bony rings and encasing the brood pouch towards its midline, dividing the pouch in two longitudinal halves (= inverted brood pouch closure type, Herald, 1959: fig. 1); superior trunk ridge extending posteriorly to dorsal fin, lateral trunk ridge continuous with superior tail ridge, inferior trunk ridge continuous with inferior tail ridge (Herald, 1959: fig. 3; Dawson, 1982: fig. 2); body ridges usually distinct and elevated, sometimes inferior trunk and tail ridges rounded and indistinct; anal fin absent (Herald, 1940).
Distribution. Freshwater drainages along the Atlantic coast of South and Central America from the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina to Belize, including the Caribbean islands; and along the Pacific coast from Ecuador to Mexico.

Remarks. Geisthardt (2009) described S. sweihana from the United Arab Emirates. Ivie & Barclay (2011) transferred this species to Paulusiella Löbl, 2007 (Elateridae incertae sedis).
In the original description of S. sweihana, on page 162 Geisthardt (2009) used the name S. emerita instead of S. sweihana. This name was probably used for this species in earlier versions of manuscript and therefore, it is a nomen nudum according to the Code (ICZN 1999).

Leprocaulus attenuatus Pic, 1922a: 24; Kaszab, 1983: 177; Löbl et al. 2008: 343. Type locality. China: Yunnan (Pe Yen Tsin). Leprocaulus (Pseudocoelophus) attenuatus Pic, 1922a: Kaszab, 1983: 179 (with photo of habitus).
Hexarhopalus (s. str.) attenuatus (Pic, 1922a): Bečvář & Purchart, 2008: 40.
Remark. The type locality ‘Pe Yen Tsin’ is now called Shiyang Town (Ƃŧẘ) of Dayao County (Ęďss), and formerly called Baiyanjing (àü#) of Yanfeng County (üƚss). Ren and Xu, 2011 identified the specimens from Ailao Mountain (Yunnan Province) as Hexarhopalus (H.) attenuatus. However, we examined the specimens from the same locality, and the different characters suggest that specimens from Ailao Mountain is a new species. Although they are similar in general appearance, and both possess three longitudinal grooves on pronotum. But they can be easily separated from each other, the new species with shoulders fully developed (shouldersless in Hexarhopalus (H.) attenuatus), and except the lateral one, other two grooves of pronotum are much weak (deep in Hexarhopalus (H.) attenuatus).

Psolidium acorbulum Thandar, 2006: 39, fig.13.
Samyn & VandenSpiegel, 2016:487, text-fig. 27. Diagnosis (see Thandar 2006)
Material examined. SAMC-A 090927, SM 123, off south of Scottburgh, 30°33.04’ S, 30°48.06’ E, heavy dredge, 690 m, 10.V.1977, 1 spec.
Description. Form typically psolid with an arched dorsal surface and flattened ventral surface forming the sole which is largely covered by ventral flaps of the body wall; sole thin-walled, membranous. Specimen length about 2.5 mm, width in mid-body just over 1 mm. Colour off-white in alcohol. Dorsal scales overlapping, not possible to determine the number of scales between mouth and anus as latter two not apparent. Dorsal tube feet in three conspicuous rows, but few also in inter-ambulacra. A single row of tube feet present on margin of sole. Tube feet emit from between scales and not through them. Tentacle number undetermined, tentacles simple (digitate) or very finely branched. Internal anatomy typical of species, form and size of ossicles as in type. Dorsal plates (Figure 16A) include large type, up to 335 µm and small type, up to 70 µm, all with about 10 holes. Ventral plates (Figure 16B) much smaller, larger ones up to 240 µm, and smaller ones up to 135 µm, all with up to 10 holes, usually fewer. Tube feet deposits comprise minute perforated plates (Figure 16C), larger ones up to 350 µm, smaller ones up to 90 µm; end-plates present, up to 100 µm, with numerous holes.
Distribution. East coast of South Africa, from Scottburgh to East London, 690–775 m, perhaps extending to N. Mozambique.
Remarks. This species was originally based on two specimens collected from off Port St. Johns and East London area on the east coast of South Africa. Now, its occurrence north of Port St. Johns is a noteworthy extension of its range. This species was described by Thandar (2006) and therefore only a few pertinent features are recorded above. The knobs on the plates are not as prominent as in the type. It is also difficult to determine the tentacle number and form. Simple tentacles were described for the type where as in the current specimen some tentacles appear minutely branched. Despite this there is no doubt as to the specific identity of the current material. As in the type the form is exactly psolid-like and the mouth and anus not distinguishable as they are both covered by overlapping scales.
