Fig. 4 H–I
Holotype: MZB Pol. 0 0 128 hologenophore (½—in 70% ethanol after formalin fixation; ½—in 95% ethanol following fixation in DMSO). Near Kri Eco Resort Jetty, Raja Ampat, Indonesia (0°33'27.42"S, 130°40'36.23"E), less than 20 m. Collected at night using scuba on 13 October 2013 by MMS and GWR. Genbank (COI—KM014208).
Host. Stephanometra tenuipinna (Hartlaub) (Mariametridae, Comatulida, Crinoidea). SIO-BIC E5842. Genbank (COI—KM014353).
Etymology. Named after Nick Holland, for his appreciation of all things crinoidal, including their symbionts.
Diagnosis and description. Holotype body elongate, terminating in 6 cylindrical acirrate caudal processes (Fig. 4 H–I). Entire specimen ~ 5 mm long including caudal processes following fixation. Medialmost pair of caudal processes longest, decreasing in length to outermost pair. Body margin with 16 triangular cirri, pairs 1–4 large, 5–7 very small, and pair 7 half the length of the most anterior pairs. Five pairs of parapodia, located halfway between the midpoint and body-margin (Fig. 4 I). Four pairs of lateral organs midway between parapodia and body margin, alternating with the former. Live color orange, white in preservative.
Remarks. Four other species possess 6 cylindrical caudal processes (see remarks for M. eeckhauti n. sp.), but only Myzostoma fissum Graff, 1884 has acirrate caudal processes as in M. hollandi n. sp. Myzostoma fissum was described from a specimen bent and rolled upon itself from an unknown host southwest of the Fiji Islands. This species and its potential hosts were discussed in Eeckhaut et al. (1998), which also includes a description of specimens from Dichrometra flagellata in Papua New Guinea (which we advise be considered as the host for this species). Myzostoma hollandi n. sp. can be distinguished from M. fissum based on molecular data (Lanterbecq et al. 2006) and morphology. SEM of Papua New Guinean M. fissum in Eeckhaut et al. (1998) suggests that the caudal processes of M. fissum are more robust and less cylindrical than in Myzostoma hollandi n. sp. Myzostoma fissum specimens also had 18–24 marginal cirri, with the most anterior pair shortest (sometimes only a fringe), with more posterior pairs increasing in size (Eeckhaut et al. 1998). Myzostoma hollandi n. sp. has 16 marginal cirri, the most anterior pairs being largest.

Fig. 5 E–I
Holotype: SIO-BIC A3681 hologenophore (1 spm: 95% ethanol). Madang Harbor, Papua New Guinea (5°12'27.63"S, 145°48'32.45"E), 3– 17 m. Collected at night using scuba on 4 December 2012 by MMS and GWR. Genbank (COI—KM014197).
Host. Alloeocomatella n. sp. (AH Clark) (Comatulidae, Comatulida, Crinoidea). MNHN-IE 2013-8027 (dried voucher) & SIO-BIC E5862 (tissue subsample in 95% ethanol). Genbank (COI—KJ874980).
Paratypes: SIO-BIC A3682 paragenophore (2 spms: 1—95% ethanol; 1—mounted for SEM). Same host and locality as holotype.
Etymology. Named for Kym Vercoe, sister-in-law of GWR, in honor of her birthday.
Diagnosis and description. Holotype body oval-shaped, ~ 4 mm long, 2 mm wide following fixation. Dorsal longitudinal ridge; otherwise smooth surface (Fig. 5 H). Body margin with 20 short, triangular cirri (Fig. 5 I). Mouth and cloaca on ventral surface. Mouth and cloaca sub-terminal, in line with lateral organs. Proboscis with ~20 papillae. Paired penes in line with third pair of parapodia. Five pairs of parapodia, midway between midline and body margin. Lateral organs closer to parapodia than body margin. Color bright red in life, faded in preservative.
Remarks. This species most resembles Myzostoma viride Atkins, 1927, which was described from the Great Barrier Reef (Australia) associated with Comanthus annulatus (= Comanthus parvicirrus). This description was of three green-colored specimens with a white anterior-posterior ridge on the dorsal surface and red extended proboscis with papillae. In two of the specimens studied here, the anterior and posterior margins were broadly rounded, while in the third the body tapered to a point posteriorly. We collected yellow specimens, with a dorsal ridge from Comatella nigra (Carpenter) at Lizard Island, Australia. We suggest that these species are most closely allied to the green specimens described, and that the host of Atkin’s specimens may have been Comatella (most of Atkin’s species were described from Comanthus annulatus). Myzostoma kymae n. sp. differs from these specimens assigned to Myzostoma viride in color, placement of mouth (nearer to the body margin in M. viride), lack of clear dorsal ridge, host use, and molecular data (Myzostoma cf. viride published in Summers & Rouse (2014)). The paratype of M. kymae n. sp. is slightly larger, brown, and the proboscis has fewer (~7) papillae.

Fig. 6 N–P
Holotype: MZB Pol. 0 0 131 hologenophore (1 spm: ½—in 70% ethanol after formalin fixation; ½—95% ethanol). Otdima Reef, Raja Ampat, Indonesia (0°32'59.70"S, 130°37'10.88"E), less than 20 m. Collected using scuba on 22 October 2013 by MMS, GWR, and Tertius Kammeyer. Genbank (COI—KM491763).
Host. Colobometra perspinosa (Carpenter) (Colobometridae, Comatulida, Crinoidea). SIO-BIC E6157. Genbank (COI—KM491786).
Paratypes: SIO-BIC A3703 (2 spms: 1—in 70% ethanol after formalin fixation; 1—95% ethanol). Outside of Tab Island, Madang, Papua New Guinea (5° 10.013'S, 145° 50.455'E), 5– 20 m. Collected using scuba on 7 December 2012 by MMS and GWR. Genbank (COI—KM014206). Host: Cenometra bella (Hartlaub). MNHN-IE- 2013-8070 (dried voucher) & SIO-BIC E5939 (tissue subsample in 95% ethanol). Genbank (COI—KM491787).
Etymology. Named for Tertius Kammeyer, an avid myzostomid hunter who found the holotype with MMS and GWR.
Diagnosis and description. Holotype body circular, ~ 4 mm in diameter following fixation. Body margin scalloped from many unequal-sized triangular cirri (Fig. 6 N–P). White dorsal longitudinal ridge (Fig. 6 N– O). Mouth and cloaca subterminal, in line with parapodia. Extended proboscis smooth. Five pairs of parapodia, twothirds of the way to body margin (Fig. 6 P).
Remarks. The body shape of Myzostoma tertiusi n. sp. is not entirely circular, the scalloped margin resembling that of M. pipkini n. sp. One circular myzostomid species has been described from the same host, Colobometra perspinosa. This species, Myzostoma coriaceum Graff, 1884a is circular, over 9 mm in diameter and most similar in form to specimens found on Comatulidae (see remarks for M. susanae n. sp.). The host identification for this specimen is dubious and it is easily differentiated from Myzostoma tertiusi n. sp. Many species associated with Mariametroidea have a scalloped margin, particularly the elongated forms of Hypomyzostoma. Of these, only M. attenuatum Grygier, 1989 and Myzostoma pipkini n. sp. and have been reported from Colobometra perspinosa and Cenometra bella, both of which differ morphologically and in molecular data (Summers & Rouse 2014) from M. tertiusi n. sp.

Fig. 7 G–J
Holotype: SIO-BIC A4019 paragenophore (1 spm in 70% ethanol after formalin fixation). Off Monterey Canyon, California (36° 48' 7.9194" N, 121° 59' 42" W), 632 m. Collected via the R/V Western Flyer using the ROV Tiburon (Dive 1160) on 18 October 2007 by GWR, Nerida Wilson and R. C. Vrijenhoek.
Host. Asteronyx longifissus Döderlein (Asteronychidae, Euryalida, Ophiuroidea). SIO-BIC E6108. Genbank (16S—KM014337; 28S—KM014340).
Paratypes: SIO-BIC A3799 paragenophore (1 spm: 95% ethanol). Genbank (COI—KM014172); SIO-BIC 3797 paragenophores (2 spms: 1—in 70% ethanol after formalin fixation; 1—95% ethanol); SIO-BIC A3799 paragenophores (2 spms: in 70% ethanol after paraformaldehyde/glutaraldehyde fixation); SIO-BIC A4023 paragenophore (1 spm: embedded in Spurr’s resin after fixation in glutaraldehyde and osmium tetroxide, some in 1µm sections). Same host and locality as holotype.
Etymology. Latin for red, in reference its color in life.
Diagnosis and description. Holotype recovered from a host’s bursa (Fig. 7 H). Body elongate, tapering posteriorly and anteriorly (Fig. 7 I). Length ~ 4 mm, width ~ 2.5 mm following fixation. Mouth and cloaca terminal. Five pairs of parapodia, more pronounced in small specimen. Color red in life, white in preservative.
Remarks. This is the first species of myzostomid described that infests ophiuroids in the eastern Pacific, and the first record in Asteronyx longifissus.
Preliminary histological study showed the body to be ellipsoidal in transverse section (Fig. 7 J). The region sectioned (near anterior) showed the gut to lie dorsally above and adjacent to ovarian tissue, containing oocytes in various stages of development. No testis tissue was in this region. Bases of the chaetae were placed ventrolaterally in chaetal sacs with surrounding musculature for protrusion. Ventral nerve cord not discernable.

Fig. 8 A–C
Holotype: SIO-BIC A1408 paragenophore (1 male: in 70% ethanol after formalin fixation). Jaco Scarp, Costa Rica (9.1172° N, 84.8417° W), 1866 m. Collected via the R/V Atlantis using the HOV Alvin (Dive 4509) on 3 March 2009.
Host. Antedon sp. (Antedonidae, Comatulida, Crinoidea) SIO-BIC E4399. Genbank (COI—KM014345). Paratypes: SIO-BIC A1579 paragenophores (2 males: 95% ethanol). Same host and locality. Genbank (COI—KM014173).
Etymology. Named for Jose Ignacio Carvajal.
Diagnosis and description. Large female in host’s mouth, smaller males on female’s ventral surface (Fig. 8 B). Female thick, circular, body margin slightly scalloped from 20 small cirri (Fig. 8 A–B). Dorsal surface of female ridged and with papillae. Holotype (male) circular, slightly wider than long, body margin strongly scalloped from 20 triangular cirri (Fig. 8 C). Mouth and cloaca terminal. Extended proboscis smooth. Five pairs of parapodia, positioned equal distance from the midline to the body margin.
Remarks. Pulvinomyzostomum inaki n. sp. possesses the same lifestyle as Pulvinomyzostomum pulvinar Graff, 1884 b—a large female located in the mouth with small males. The female specimen was found with the small males on the ventral surface, the in situ arrangement in the mouth is not known. Pulvinomyzostomum pulvinar was described from Leptometra phalangium (Müller, 1841) collected in Scottish waters. Pulvinomyzostomum pulvinar possesses a dorsal proboscis and has a smooth dorsal surface (re-examined in Jägersten, 1940b and Eeckhaut & Lanterbecq, 2005), distinguishing it from P. inaki n. sp.
The free-living Myzostoma graffi Nansen, 1885 and M. giganteum Nansen, 1885 from Norwegian waters are described as having a scalloped margin similar to the males of Pulvinomyzostomum inaki n. sp. As the host is similar, Leptometra celtica (M’Andrew & Barrett), these records could be males of Pulvinomyzostomum pulvinar and warrant further collection now that molecular data are available. Pulvinomyzostomum inaki n. sp. is the first record of this lifestyle (large female in mouth, smaller free-living males) from Pacific waters, and is also distinguished from P. pulvinar based on molecular data (provided in Lanterbecq et al. (2006)).

Fig. 8 D–G
Holotype: SIO-BIC A3800 hologenophore (1 spm: 95% ethanol). Off southwest Oregon (42° 44' 28.104" N, 128° 5' 48.2994" W), 1650 m. Collected via the R/V Western Flyer using the ROV Doc Ricketts (Dive 82) on 4 September 2007 by Julio Harvey. Genbank (COI—KM014174).
Host. Gephyrocrinus messingi Roux & Lambert (Hyocrinidae, Hyocrinida, Crinoidea). SIO-BIC E5662. Genbank (COI—KM014350).
Etymology. Named for Charles Messing, for whom its host crinoid is also named for, and in recognition for his often noticing and collecting myzostomids on crinoids.
Diagnosis and description. Holotype free-living (Fig. 8 D). Body elongate. Length ~ 6 mm; width ~ 4 mm following fixation. Dorsal surface furrowed (Fig. 8 E). Body margin acirrate (Fig. 8 G). Mouth and cloaca subterminal on ventral surface, midway between first and last pairs of parapodia and body margin. Five pairs of parapodia. Color in life unknown, pale yellow following fixation.
Remarks. Unlike other members of Pulvinomyzostomum, where a large female remains stationary in the mouth, Pulvinomyzostomum messingi n. sp. was collected living free on the host. This is the first record of Pulvinomyzostomum on a stalked crinoid— Pulvinomyzostomum pulvinar and Pulvinomyzostomum messingi n. sp. were both found on antedonid hosts. Pulvinomyzostomum messingi n. sp. is also the first description of a myzostomid associated with a stalked crinoid in the east-Pacific and, with the exception of Stelechopus hyocrini Graff, 1884, is the only known myzostomid from a hyocrinid. The other free-living myzostomids on stalked crinoids (currently in Eenymeenymyzostoma Summers & Rouse (2014), Myzostoma Graff, 1884a, and Stelechopus Graff, 1884a) are known from Japan, south of the Philippines, Antarctica, and the Caribbean (Table 1). All but Stelechopus have noticeable marginal cirri, unlike Pulvinomyzostomum messingi n. sp.

description: Genus Eucarlia Brölemann, 1913
Remarks. The status of the genus Eucarlia is still unresolved since the transfer of the four species known from the Seychelles to the Asian genus (Golovatch & Korsós 1992). The variety shown by the different Eucarlia species in their anterior and posterior gonopods (Golovatch & Gerlach 2010) indicates that more than one genus might be hiding behind the name. The species described below is the first record of the genus from Madagascar. The assignment of the new species to Eucarlia is tentative at best, given the unclear definition of the genus. However, as the only other alternative would be the description of a new monotypic genus—already the 16th of the family Pachybolidae known from Madagascar, the species described below is tentatively placed in Eucarlia.

Fig. 11A–E
Material examined. Holotype M, CASENT 9032793, BLF 3123, Province d’Antsiranana, Montagne des Français, 7.2 km 142° SE Antsiranana (=Diego Suarez), tropical dry forest, 180 m, 12°19’22” S, 49°20’17” E, coll. Fisher, Griswold et al., pitfall trap, 22–28.ii.2001.
Paratype: 1 F and several posterior fragments of additional specimens CASENT 9032793, BLF 3123, same data as holotype.
Derivatio nominis. endemicus, adjective, after the isolated position of the type locality.
Diagnosis. Spiromimus endemicus sp. nov. shares the particular-shaped posterior gonopods with a basally wide mesal branch with no other of the 13 previously described species of the genus, except maybe for Spiromimus dorsovittatus (de Saussure & Zehntner, 1901), which differs virtually in all other characters.
Description.
Measurements: Male circa 33 mm long, only 2.4 wide, 44+0 body rings. Immature female 28 mm long, 2.9 mm wide, with 34+3 body rings.
Colour: Laterally and ventrally dark, dorsally with slender yellow stripe.
Head: Male antenna reaching back to seventh body ring. Eyes with 30/28 black ommatidia. Antenna and gnathochilarium typical for the genus. Mandible not examined.
Legs: In males 1.1 times as long as body ring width. Male coxa three elongated into slender process projecting to sixth coxa. Coxa four elongated into rod-shaped process projecting towards sixth coxa. Coxae five and six flattened, mesally with short and slender projection. Coxa seven with a large cone.
Ozopore starting at ring 6, located on suture between meso- and metazonite.Telson typical for the genus, without a preanal process, subanal scale inconspicuous and anal valves with weak lips (Fig. 11A).
Anterior gonopod: sternal lobe broken (Fig. 11B). Telopodite without excavation (Fig. 11B, C). Tip of telopodite slender, with weakly developed retrorse process (Fig. 11B, C).
Posterior gonopod sternite sclerotized, triangular (Fig. 11E). Telopodite, tip of main branch bent backwards, forming well-rounded ‘hook’ (Fig. 11D). Mesal branch slightly slenderer but as long as main branch (Fig. 11E). Mesal branch not tapering, at tip slightly bent towards main branch (Fig. 11E). Mesal and main branch only basally connected by membranous folds (Fig. 11E). Main branch basally of well-rounded apex with short membranous lobe which slightly projects towards the mesal branch (Fig. 11E).

Remarks. The new localities are more than 350 km NW of the type locality. Morphologically, the specimens are identical to the type series—unfortunately no molecular data is available for the type locality, Andohahela. A. aridus could be one of the widespread spiny forest species, such as the giant pill-millipedes Zoosphaerium libidinosum (de Saussure & Zehntner, 1897) and Sphaeromimus musicus (de Saussure & Zehntner, 1897).

Material examined. 1 M, FMNH-INS 3119881, Province Mahajanga, Forêt de Beanka, 220 m, 18°01’25’’, 44°30’08’’, slightly disturbed dry deciduous tsingy forest, coll. V. Soarimalala, 17.x.2009.
Remarks. While the anterior and posterior gonopods fit perfectly those of S. triaureus, the colour pattern of the single male, although faded due to ethanol, differs: the lateral golden band is missing, only the wider dorsal band is visible. The male has 44+0 body rings, is 43 mm long and 3.4 mm wide. DNA extraction for barcoding was unfortunately unsuccessful. This is a first record of the species from the Forêt de Beanka, but the species is widespread in western Madagascar (see Wesener & Enghoff 2009).

S.M. Goodman, pitfalls, 9–14.III.2016.
Remarks. The population from Nosy Ankao is quite distant from the known area of distribution of the species (Wesener & Enghoff 2009). The colour and ring number (45) fit very well to the original description. Like the specimens from Nosy Be, the ones from Nosy Ankao are smaller than those from Ankarana (42 versus 32 mm in male length, 3.2 versus 2.6 mm in width). The anterior and posterior telopods, as well as the colour patter and the male anterior legs fit also to S. univirgatus. We successfully barcoded the Nosy Ankao population of S. univirgatus, but a comparison is difficult. Only sequences of two other Spiromimus species are available: S. scapularis Wesener & Enghoff 2009 from the NW Forêt de Binara and S. triaureus Wesener & Enghoff, 2009 from the western dry forests.
