Synalpheus idios

description: Synalpheus idios (Rios & Duffy 2007)
Material examined. Barbados: 14 non-ovigerous individuals, 2 ovigerous females (VIMS 08BR6502, 08BR6601– 4), Harrison’s Point reef, from Hyrtios cf. proteus. 17 non-ovigerous individuals, 4 ovigerous females (VIMS 08BR101–5), Pamir reef, from Hyrtios cf. proteus. Largest ovigerous female, CL 3.90 mm, largest non-ovigerous individual, CL 4.66 mm.
Color. As elsewhere in the Caribbean, S. idios females had brick-red ovaries and embryos.
Hosts and ecology. In Barbados, S. idios was found in groups of several individuals (with numerous ovigerous females present) in Hyrtios cf. proteus; it has been found in a similar host in Curaçao (Hultgren et al. 2010).
Distribution. Belize (Macdonald et al. 2006; Ríos & Duffy 2007), Curaçao (Hultgren et al. 2010), Barbados (this study).
Remarks. In Barbados, S. idios can be distinguished from the related species S. bousfieldi by the shape of the distal projection on the major chela, which is conical-shaped in S. idios and lacks the small secondary projection typically found in S. bousfieldi. These closely related species also appear to be limited to different hosts (Hyrtios cf. proteus for S. idios, Agelas clathrodes for S. bousfieldi).

Synalpheus pandionis

description: Synalpheus pandionis Coutière, 1909
Material examined. Barbados: 2 ovigerous females, 3 non-ovigerous individuals (VIMS 08BR8602–6), Thunder Bay, from Lissodendoryx sp. 1 ovigerous female, 1 non-ovigerous individual (VIMS 08BR2706, 8702), Thunder Bay, from Spirastrella sp. Largest ovigerous female, CL 3.90, largest non-ovigerous individual, CL 3.28 mm.
Color. Bright orange, ovigerous females with even more brilliant orange ovaries; both sexes with dark orangebrown major chelae.
Hosts and ecology. In Barbados, Synalpheus pandionis was collected from the orange sponges Spirastrella sp. and from an unidentified species of Lissodendoryx, both growing among and infilling the interstices of coral branches.
Distribution. Bahamas (Lemaitre 1984); Cuba (Martínez Iglesias & García Raso 1999); Virgin Islands (Coutière 1909; Chace 1972); Gulf of Mexico (Dardeau 1984); Belize (Macdonald et al. 2006; Ríos & Duffy 2007); Discovery Bay, Jamaica (Macdonald et al. 2009); Barbados (this study).
Remarks. In Barbados, S. pandionis occurred with its close relative S. ul in Spirastrella sp. and Lissodendoryx sp. It can be distinguished from S. ul in these hosts by body size in adults (S. pandionis> S. ul), length of the scaphocerite blade (typically>1/2 length of the distoventral spine of scaphocerite in S. pandionis, <1/4 length in S. ul), and the posterior corner of the male second pleura (acute in S. pandionis, obtuse in S. ul). The relative size of the scaphocerite blade varied among specimens of S. pandionis from Barbados: while some individuals had blades reaching only 40–60% of the scaphocerite spine, others had well-developed blades that extended 75–90% of the length of the scaphocerite spine and roughly twice the width of the spine. In Coutière’s (1909) type series of S. pandionis, the scaphocerite blade was similar in width to, and less than half the length of, the scaphocerite spine. However, individuals with larger blades were not phylogenetically distinct from individuals with more typical blades (Hultgren & Duffy 2011).

Synalpheus sanctithomae

description: Synalpheus sanctithomae Coutière, 1909
Material examined. Barbados: 2 non-ovigerous individuals (VIMS 08BR7103), Cement Factory, from Hyattella intestinalis. 4 non-ovigerous individuals, 1 ovigerous female (VIMS 08BR1001, 08BR1201–2), Spawnee Reef, from Agelas clathrodes. 3 non-ovigerous individuals, 1 ovigerous female (VIMS 08BR901–2, 1901), Spawnee Reef, no host recorded. Largest ovigerous female, CL 3.43, largest non-ovigerous individual, CL 2.97 mm.
Color. Ovigerous females had green ovaries and greenish-orange embryos and all individuals had a drab orange body color, deepening distally in their extremities, as in other locations (Ríos & Duffy 2007; Macdonald et al. 2009; Hultgren et al. 2010).
Hosts and ecology. In Barbaros, S. sanctithomae lived in the sponges Hyattella intestinalis and Agelas clathrodes.
Distribution. Florida, USA (Gore 1981); Virgin Islands (Coutière, 1909); Jamaica (Macdonald et al. 2009); Belize (Macdonald et al., 2006; Ríos & Duffy, 2007); Curaçao (Hultgren et al. 2010); Brazil (Christoffersen, 1979); Barbados (this study).
Remarks. In Barbados, Synalpheus sanctithomae can be distinguished from the morphologically similar species S. mcclendoni by the number of setae on the posterior margin of the telson: a sparse tuft of <6 setae in S. sanctithomae vs. a well-developed fan of 10 or more setae in S. mcclendoni (Rios & Duffy 2007).

description: Synalpheus thele Macdonald, Hultgren & Duffy 2009
Material examined. Barbados: 2 non-ovigerous individuals (VIMS 08BR6709), Cement Factory, from Hyattella intestinalis. 1 ovigerous female (VIMS 08BR1401), Spawnee Reef, from H. intestinalis. 1 ovigerous female, 1 non-ovigerous individual (VIMS 08BR701), Spawnee Reef, from Hymeniacidon caerulea. 1 ovigerous female (VIMS 08BR802), Spawnee Reef, no host unknown. 1 ovigerous female (VIMS 08BR9905), Thunder Bay, from Spirastrella sp. Largest ovigerous female, CL 3.28 mm, largest non-ovigerous individual, CL 3.22 mm.
Color. Ovigerous females had pale grass-green ovaries.
Hosts and ecology. In Barbados, S thele was found primarily in the sponges Hyattella intestinalis and Hymeniacidon caerulea, but not in Agelas clathrodes, which was the only known sponge hosting S. thele in Jamaica (Macdonald et al. 2009).
Distribution. Discovery Bay, Jamaica (Macdonald et al. 2009); Barbados (this study).
Remarks. In Barbados, S. thele can be distinguished from other morphologically similar species in the S. brooksi complex by several characters. For instance, the tuft of setae on the minor chela forms two parallel rows in S. thele, but forms a thick brush in other members of the complex. The distodorsal protuberance of the major chela in S. thele is short and distinctly rounded distally, unlike the longer and more acute protuberance of S. idios and S. bousfiel di in Barbados.

description: Synalpheus ul (Rios & Duffy 2007)
Material examined. Barbados: 1 ovigerous female, 4 non-ovigerous individuals (VIMS 08BR3901, 4901, 5002–3, 5102), Brandon’s Beach, from Agelas clathrodes. 1 ovigerous female (VIMS 08BR202), Pamir reef, from Xestospongia proxima. 3 ovigerous females, 8 non-ovigerous individuals (VIMS 08BR3101, 08BR9004, 08BR9201–2, 08BR9601–2, 9605, 08BR10101–2), Thunder Bay, from Agelas clathrodes. 1 non-ovigerous individual (VIMS 08BR2801), Thunder Bay, from Hymeniacidon caerulea. 9 ovigerous females, 14 non-ovigerous individuals (VIMS 08BR2602–3, 08BR2701–5, 08BR8703–6, 08BR9301–2, 08BR9901–4, 08BR10001–2), Thunder Bay, from Spirastrella sp. 1 non-ovigerous individual (VIMS 08BR3501), Thunder Bay, host unknown. 1 non-ovigerous individual (VIMS 08BR 9401), Thunder Bay, in Xestospongia proxima. Largest ovigerous female, CL 2.82 mm, largest non-ovigerous individual, CL 3.00 mm.
Color. Individuals typically had a body color that ranged from orange-tinged to yellowish orange or orange; major chelae had brownish-orange tips; females had orange ovaries.
Hosts and ecology. In Barbados, S. ul occurred primarily in Spirastrella sp. and Agelas clathrodes, and to a lesser degree in Hymeniacidon caerulea and Xestospongia proxima.
Distribution. Curaçao, Panama (Hultgren et al. 2010); Belize (Macdonald et al. 2006; Ríos & Duffy 2007); Jamaica (Macdonald et al. 2009); Barbados (this study).
Remarks. Although S. ul often co-occurs with closely related species, sometimes in the same individual sponges, it can be distinguished from them using a combination of morphological characters. In Lissodendoryx and Spirastrella spp., S. ul can be distinguished from S. pandionis by the scaphocerite blade (typically <25% of the length in S. ul, vs. 40–90% the length of the ventral spine of the scaphocerite in S. pandionis), and the posterior corner of the male second pleura (obtuse in S. ul, acute in S. pandionis). In Agelas clathrodes, S. ul can be distinguished from S. hoetjesi by the relative width of the distal telson spines (medial spines similar in thickness in S. ul vs. distinctly thicker than lateral spines in S. hoetjesi) and relatively larger body size of S. hoetjesi (mean CL = 2.37 mm CL ± 0.107 for S. ul vs. 3.29 mm ± 0.144 in S. hoetjesi).

description: Synalpheus williamsi Ríos & Duffy, 1999
Material examined. Barbados: 1 non-ovigerous individual, 1 ovigerous female (VIMS 08BR7501–2), Cement Factory, from Hymeniacidon caerulea. 1 ovigerous female (VIMS 08BR1412), Spawnee Reef, host unknown (in rubble with H. caerulea). 5 non-ovigerous individuals, 2 ovigerous females (VIMS 08BR502–3, 08BR1101, 08BR1103, 08BR1301, 08BR2401), Spawnee Reef, from H. caerulea. 1 non-ovigerous individual (VIMS 08BR1702), Spawnee Reef, host unknown (in rubble with H. caerulea). Largest ovigerous female, CL 3.44 mm, largest non-ovigerous individual, CL 2.85 mm.
Color. The body color of S. williamsi ranged from almost colorless to dull orange, with distal portion of the major chela brilliant orange; ovaries were green, embryos bright orange-yellow.
Hosts and ecology. In Barbados, S. williamsi appears to be a specialist in the sponge Hymeniacidon caerulea, as is the case in Belize and Jamaica (Macdonald et al. 2006; Ríos & Duffy 2007; Macdonald et al. 2009). Although some individuals were found in loose rubble or on the surface of other sponges embedded in rubble, the rubble always contained H. caerulea.
Distribution. Jamaica (Macdonald et al. 2009); Curaçao (Hultgren et al. 2010); Belize (Macdonald et al. 2006; Ríos & Duffy 2007); Barbados (this study).
Remarks. Synalpheus williamsi can be distinguished from other species of Synalpheus inhabiting the sponge Hymeniacidon caerulea by the number of spines on the uropod (3–6 fixed marginal teeth anterior to the moveable spine, vs. 1 fixed tooth in S. thele) or the relative length of the basicerite and scaphocerite spines (basicerite <75% length of scaphocerite in S. williamsi, basicerite>75% length of scaphocerite in S. ul).

description: SUBFAMILY HUBBARDIINAE COOK, 1899
Remarks
There are three schizomid families: Protoschizomidae, Hubbardiidae and the extinct Calcitronidae. The status of Calcitronidae as a valid family is still contradictory because the tarsomere formula of 7:5:4:4 (Pierce, 1951) deviates from the general pattern of 7:3:3:3 shared by Protoschizomidae, Hubbardiidae and Thelyphonida (Cokendolpher & Reddell, 1992). The presence of six tarsomeres on legI is a rare occurrence in Old and New World schizomids alike and has been interpreted as a randomly occurring malformation caused by regeneration of a limb after loss or damage (Rowland, 1973). The two Recent families for schizomids can be distinguished by 29 morphological characters (Cokendolpher & Reddell, 1992; Monjaraz-Ruedas et al., 2017). Out of these characters, only the symmetry of the tarsal spurs (symmetrical in Protoschizomidae, asymmetrical in Hubbardiidae), body size (usually between 6 and 9 mm in Protoschizomidae and ~ 3–6 mm in Hubbardiidae), male and female flagellum morphology and the setation of the base of the anterior process (present in Protoschizomidae, absent in Hubbardiidae) can be assessed in the amber fossils owing to fossil preservation, but all of the described fossil specimens align well with the diagnosis for Hubbardiidae.
Within this family, the Megaschizominae (endemic to southern Africa) have a body size of ~ 8 mm, a row of eight or nine setae along the frontal margin of the propeltidium, and their tergites II–VII on the opisthosoma have two submarginal rows of setae, whereas Hubbardiinae are smaller and have only one row. All fossil species align with Hubbardiinae rather than with Megaschizominae. The key provides basic diagnoses for all fossil genera described from Burmese amber. As the fossil schizomids are often altered and deformed by taphonomical processes, a schizomid body plan with labelling of body parts is given in Figure 2 for a better understanding of the morphology.

Type species: † Muellerizomus palicaudatus De Francesco Magnussen sp. nov.
Remarks
Specimens of this genus show asymmetrical tarsal spurs and also differ from species of Protoschizomidae by the lack of a pair of setae at the base of the anterior process and the presence of a distinct stalk at the male flagellum. They also differ from members of Megaschizominae by having a smaller body size, lack of eight or nine setae on their anterior process and the presence of only one pair of setae on the tergites II -VII. Therefore, they are clearly members of subfamily Hubbardiinae. The specimens cannot be assigned to any extant genus because of their combination of characters.
Diagnosis
† Muellerizomus differs from all other hubbardiid genera by the following combination of characters: propeltidium with a single median seta followed by three pairs of setae; eye spots present or absent; metapeltidium not divided; body without clavate setae; pedipalp trochanter with a mesal spur (equivocal in † Mu. amandae); anterodorsal margin of femur of leg IV produced at an angle of ~90°; tergite II with one pair of setae; tergites X–XII not elongated; tergite XII with posterodorsal process; male flagellum dorsoventrally flattened; female flagellum with three annuli.
Etymology
The genus name is a patronym for private collector Patrick Müller, who provided the specimen and numerous others for examination, with the common suffix -zomus, from the last letters of Schizomus. It is masculine in gender.
Comparison
† M u e l l e r i z o m u s s h a r e s c h a r a c t e r s w i t h † Groehnizomus, but the latter has corneate eyes and a divided metapeltidium (eye spots and metapeltidium not divided in † Muellerizomus). Secozomus Harvey, 2001b from the Seychelles is also similar, but it lacks a posterodorsal process, and the anterodorsal margin of femur IV is angled at> 90°. For comparison with Recent genera, see the Supporting Information (Table S1).

TURKEY: Devrekani–Bozkurt road, 9.07.2011, 1200 m (41.70733ºN, 33.97399ºN), leg. B. Çıplak, S. Kaya & D. Chobanov, 1 male recorded.
P. aff. ataturki: Tokat, 10.07. 2011, 700 m (40.2661ºN, 36.5494ºN), leg. Chobanov
The calling song of the recorded male consisted of long series (at least 26 to 62 s) of up to 875 syllables. In one case two series were separated by a very short interval (<1 s). The syllables (duration 55 ms) were produced at a rate of 14.6 Hz (Fig. 6) and contained about 20 impulses (T =26.7–28.2ºC). Except of a very few cases they had always a gap in the middle (Fig. 7) and the mean interval between the impulses was about 2.9 ms (gap included).
The stridulatory file carries 95 teeth (inter-tooth distance 31–38 µm) and is bi-partite by a distinct step in the middle of the file (Fig. 5A; Devrekani–Bozkurt). In this male the basal (proximal) part has 48 teeth and the anal (distal) 47, in a male from Tokat (P. aff. ataturki) the numbers are 34 and 36, respectively.

The song is quite similar to that of P. pechevi. The males were active at night and produced series with a duration of 5.6± 3,7 s (n=62; range 0.8– 18.7 s) at intervals of 12.9± 10.8s (n=28) s. After a short, soft and irregular beginning ca. 60 syllables followed (SRR 10.8 Hz; T =23.5–28ºC; Fig. 6). The syllables had a duration of 64±8.2 ms (n=28) and contained 8.25±1.2 (n=18) impulses, resulting in a mean interval of 9.1 ms between the impulses (Fig. 7).

Chobanov, 1 male recorded (Fig. 7), stridulatory file studied.
In structure, the song is quite similar to that of P. armeniacus. The males produced series with a quite variable duration of 7.7± 8.3 s (n=13; range 0.5–25 s) at intervals of 21.1±11.7 (n=4) s. A series contained on average about 100 syllables (SRR 12.5 Hz; T =27–28ºC; Fig. 6). The syllables had a duration of 54.6±1.8 ms (n=5), but contained with 22±0.8 (n=7) much more impulses than that of the previous species, resulting in a mean interval of 2.6 ms between the impulses. At 19–20ºC the SRR was only 8.3 Hz and the syllables had a duration of about 93 ms (Fig. 7).

Heller, 2 males recorded.
The males were active at night and produced short echemes with a duration of 0.4± 0.1 s (n=54; range 0.25– 0.63 s; Fig. 8). During the recording sessions always at least two males were in acoustical contact. In this situation the echemes were often arranged in groups with two or more males alternating. However, occasionally also isolated echemes were heard (duration of intervals 3.9± 8.1s, range 0.2–47s, n=45). An echeme contained on average 9 syllables (SRR 20.2 Hz; T =25–26ºC). The syllables had a duration of 30.6±3.8 ms (n=13) and contained 5.1±1.1 (n=13) impulses (Fig. 7) resulting in a mean interval of 7.8 ms between the impulses. Sometimes intrasyllable gaps were as large as the gaps between the syllables. At 20ºC the SRR was only 15.3 Hz and the syllables had a duration of about 40.6±3.9 ms (n=9).
The spectrum of the song had its peak near 30 kHz (Fig. 9).

description: Genus Nata Watson, 1934
Nata Watson, 1934: 158. Type species (by original designation): Natalina tarachodes Connolly, 1912.
Diagnosis. Shell small to moderate in size (adult diameter 6–25 mm), thin, subglobose to discoidal, yellowishbrown to honey-brown, frequently with uneven darker axial bands, but lacking spiral colour pattern; apical surface with close-set axial (collabral) riblets or smooth, sculptured only by weak growth-lines, spiral sculpture mostly lacking; usually glossy, occasionally lustreless; base generally smoother and more glossy; peristome interrupted in parietal region; outer lip thin with membranous periostracal fringe, never thickened; umbilicus open, width moderate to wide; protoconch smooth, comprising 1.0–1.25 whorls, diameter 0.7–2.6 mm (rarely more than 2.0 mm).
Radula beloglossan, but tooth morphology variable; labial palps not evident; epiphallus present but usually small, inserting laterally into penis; penis lumen papillate, epiphallus pore may be somewhat raised or surrounded by a flange-like disc, but a verge-like structure is absent; retractor muscle of right optic tentacle passes to left of penis; vas deferens reflexed, passing down penis then back along free oviduct; vagina short or absent; bursa copulatrix duct broader basally; no oviduct caecum present; atrial diverticulum sometimes present; kidney trigonal, primary ureter reflexed around anterior of kidney; suprapedal mucus gland not convoluted, the posterior portion lacking glandular tissue.
Remarks. As indicated in the Introduction, following our previous work (Moussalli & Herbert 2016), we employ the genus Nata in a restricted sense, and treat Natella as a separate genus. There are significant morphological differences between the two and molecular data demonstrate that Natella constitutes a deeply divergent, basal lineage within the Rhytididae.
Nata is endemic to southern Africa, occurring mostly to the south and east of the Great Escarpment and ranging from the south-western Cape to the Soutpansberg in Limpopo (23°S) and Inhambane in southern Mozambique (24°S). The range of one species also extends into the Highveld of Gauteng, Free State and Lesotho.

description: Key to species of Nata
1. Shell small with distinct, evenly and quite widely spaced, axial pliculae that extend around periphery and into umbilicus; restricted to the area just west of Port Elizabeth......................................... Nata aequiplicata sp. nov.
- Shell small to moderate in size, sculpture weak (essentially growth-lines only), or with close-set axial riblets that evanesce at periphery, the base with weak growth-lines only.............................................................. 2
2. Shell lacking distinct and regular axial riblets, sculpture largely consisting only of relatively fine, irregularly spaced growthlines................................................................................................ 3
- Strength of shell sculpture variable, but adapical surface (or at least the subsutural part thereof) always with some evidence of close-set axial riblets................................................................................... 4
3. Radula with ≥19 teeth per half-row, lacking a distinct fang tooth; largely confined to the Albany Thicket Biome.............................................................................................. Nata watsoni sp. nov.
- Radula with ≤12 teeth per half-row, one of which (the fang tooth) is clearly larger than the others; inland and montane regions of eastern South Africa and Lesotho (mostly above 1000 m), as well as at lower altitudes in Maputaland and the Lowveld of Mpumalanga........................................................................ Nata erugata sp. nov.
4. Adult diameter> 20 mm; widespread throughout southern and eastern South Africa ...................... Nata vernicosa
- Adult diameter <15 mm; W. Cape only.................................................................... 5
5. Shell with relatively strong, crisp, evenly spaced and close-set axial riblets on the adapical surface, often lustreless; adult shell with rather globose profile and compact whorls; Cape Peninsula and Atlantic Cape coast................. Nata dumeticola
- Shell with less regular axial riblets, usually glossy; profile somewhat depressed and whorls comparatively rapidly expanding; more widely distributed in south-western Cape................................................. Nata tarachodes
