Potiicoara brasiliensis: a new genus and species of Spelaeogriphacea (Crustacea: Peracarida) from Brazil with a phylogenetic analysis of the Peracarida [PDF]
The second genus and species of Spelaeogriphacea, Potiicoara brasiliensis, is described (type-locality: Brazil, Mato Grosso do Sul, Bonito, Gruta Azul). The specimens were found swimming in a lake 50 m inside the cave entrance. The new genus is distinguished from Spelaeogriphus Gordon by having a shorter carapace, mandibular palp three-segmented ...

MITOCHONDRIAL GENES AND ISOPOD PHYLOGENY (PERACARIDA: ISOPODA) [PDF]
Abstract Molecular data are used to test whether (1) Phreatoicidea are the earliest derived living isopods, and (2) the long-tailed isopod morphology is the derived condition within the Isopoda. Small and large subunits of the mitochondrial ribosomal genes (12S- and 16S rDNA), and cytochrome oxidase c subunit I (COI) are used as a case study for ...

The phylogenetic position of the Isopoda in the Peracarida (Crustacea: Malacostraca) [PDF]
The sister group to the isopod crustaceans remains a controversial proposition. Previous studies have used idealised composite taxa or few exemplars, resulting in confl icting assertions about the placement of the Isopoda among the Malacostraca. A recent morphological study argued for an Amphipoda-Isopoda clade, whereas a molecular study using SSU rDNA

New Tanaidacea (Crustacea: Peracarida) from the Gulf of Guinea [PDF]
Four new species of deep-sea Tanaidacea taken from the Gulf of Guinea as part of the Ghanaian marine environmental monitoring programme in 2012 are described. One of the species, which was classified to the family Anarthruridae, differed substantially from the other members of the family, and was accommodated to the newly erected genus – Olokun n. gen.
