Fig. 2 F–G
Holotype: AM W.43447 hologenophore (1 spm: ½—in 70% ethanol after formalin fixation; ½—95% ethanol).
Dili, Banda Sea, Timor-Leste (8° 31'15"S, 125°36'46" E). Collected using scuba on 19 September 2012 by Nerida Wilson and GWR. Genbank (COI—KM014169).
Host. Cenometra bella (Hartlaub) (Colobometridae, Comatulida, Crinoidea). AM J.25425. Genbank (COI—KM491772).
Paratypes: AM P.90322 paragenophore (1 spm: in 70% ethanol after formalin fixation). Collected on same host as holotype.
Etymology. Named for Nerida Wilson, who collected this new species with GWR.
Diagnosis and description. Located in cysts along ambulacral grooves of the host’s arms (Fig. 2 G). Holotype body folded along anterior-posterior axis, dorsal side inward (Fig. 2 F). Length ~ 5 mm, width ~ 3–3.5 mm (folded) following fixation. Mouth and cloaca terminal. Five pairs of very small parapodia with noticeable chaetae midway between midline and body margin (Fig. 2 F). Live color orange, cream in preservative.
Remarks. Endomyzostomum neridae n. sp. is the first Endomyzostoma described from a crinoid host belonging to Mariametroidea. Remscheid (1918) recorded Endomyzostoma cysticolum (Graff, 1883) from a mariametroid, likely Amphimetra tesselata (AH Clark, 1911) in the Aru Islands (Indonesia). The drawing of the gall and specimen cannot be distinguished from E. neridae n. sp. and may represent an earlier record. Endomyzostoma cysticolum was originally described from Cape Frio, Brazil, associated with Comactinia meridionalis, a member of Comatulidae. See discussion above regarding other Endomyzostoma.

Fig. 2 I–L
Holotype: SIO-BIC A3651 hologenophore (1 spm: ½—in 70% ethanol after formalin fixation; ½—95% ethanol). Padoz Reef, Madang Harbor, Papua New Guinea (5° 9' 34.8006"S, 145° 48' 46.2096"W), 5– 20 m. Collected using scuba on 27 November 2012 by MMS and GWR. Genbank (COI—KM014176).
Host. Clarkcomanthus alternans (Carpenter) (Comatulidae, Comatulida, Crinoidea). MNHN-IE-2013-8114 (dried voucher); SIO-BIC E5879 (tissue subsample in 95% ethanol). Genbank (COI—KM491773).
Paratypes: SIO-BIC A3652 syngenophores (3 spms: 2—in 70% ethanol after formalin fixation; 2—95% ethanol). Same location as holotype. Genbank (COI—KM491743). Host: Clarkcomanthus mirabilis (Rowe et al.), MNHN-IE-2013-8174 (dried voucher) & SIO-BIC E5880 (tissue subsample in 95% ethanol); Genbank (COI—KM491774). SIO-BIC A3653 syngenophores (2 spms: 95% ethanol). South Padoz Reef, Madang Harbor, Papua New Guinea (5° 9' 43.1994"S, 145° 48' 59.3922"W), 5– 20 m. Collected using scuba on 1 December 2012. Genbank (COI—KM491744). Host: Comatella nigra (Carpenter), MNHN-IE-2013-8064 (dried voucher) & SIO- BIC E5891 (tissue subsample in 95% ethanol); Genbank (COI—KM491775).
Etymology. Named for Deborah Lanterbecq, who first sequenced DNA from a Mesomyzostoma and led the work resulting in the first molecular phylogeny for myzostomids (Lanterbecq et al. 2006).
Diagnosis and description. Located within host’s coelom. Holotype body thin and elongate. Length ~ 2.5 mm following fixation (specimen cut and curled) [paratypes 2–4 mm]. Body margin acirrate. Mouth and cloaca terminal. Five pairs of small parapodia, with large hooks (Fig. 2 L). Color cream in life, white in preservative.
Remarks. There are nine other species of Mesomyzostoma —two described, Mesomyzostoma katoi Okada, 1933 and Mesomyzostoma reichenspergeri Remscheid, 1918, and four currently being described Eeckhaut et al. (in prep) and three undescribed species in Summers & Rouse (2014). All of these species have a similar body form and occupy the coelom and/or gonads of feather star crinoids. The species are best distinguished by molecular data, followed by host use. This is likely a highly undersampled lifestyle due to the requirement of dissection.

Fig. 4 A–B
Holotype: MZB.Pol. 0 0 127 paragenophore (1 spm: in 70% ethanol after formalin fixation). Kri Eco Jetty, Raja Ampat, Indonesia (0°33'27.42"S, 130°40'36.23"E), less than 20 m. Collected at night using scuba on 26 October 2013 by MMS and GWR.
Host. Comactinia titan Messing (Comatulidae, Comatulida, Crinoidea). SIO-BIC E6159 (DNA subsample only). Genbank (COI—KM491778).
Paratypes: SIO-BIC A3794 paragenophores (3 spms: 2—in 70% ethanol after formalin fixation; 1—in 9% ethanol following fixation in DMSO). Same host and locality. Genbank (COI—KM014210).
Etymology. Named for Deborah Summers, mother of MMS.
Diagnosis and description. Holotype body circular, diameter ~ 4 mm following fixation. Body margin with 20 medium-long cirri (Fig. 4 A–B). Mouth and cloaca on ventral surface. Mouth, cloaca, and 8 lateral organs positioned midway between margin and parapodia, alternating with the latter. Extended proboscis with 9 long, triangular papillae (Fig. 4 B). Five pairs of parapodia. Paired penes in line with third pair of parapodia. Dorsal color pattern with margin resembling ten white hearts (Fig. 4 A).
Remarks. Myzostoma debiae n. sp. is distinct in its dorsal color pattern, the margin resembling ten white hearts. It can be further distinguished from other disc-shaped myzostomids by its cirri, which are equal in length, as well as its association with Comactinia titan. Other disc-shaped myzostomids with long cirri show noticeable differences in cirral length, the most anterior and posterior pairs longer than the rest. Paratype SIO-BIC A3794 (fixed in formalin—Figure 4 A–B) has 7 papillae on the proboscis.
