Abstract
We report the first record of the pallenopsid pycnogonid species Bathypallenopsis californica (Schimkewitsch, 1893) from the northwestern Pacific. Based on one male specimen collected from 1987-2007 m depth off the southeastern coast of Hokkaido, Japan, we redescribe the species and present its cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) sequence for use in future DNA barcoding. We found a cystidean-stage crinoid on the leg-1 femur of the sea spider, representing the first record of a cystidean found on a sea spider. BLAST searches for COI and 28S sequences revealed that the crinoid was Florometra asperrima (Clark, 1907).
期刊介绍:
Zoological Science is published by the Zoological Society of Japan and devoted to publication of original articles, reviews and editorials that cover the broad field of zoology. The journal was founded in 1984 as a result of the consolidation of Zoological Magazine (1888–1983) and Annotationes Zoologicae Japonenses (1897–1983), the former official journals of the Zoological Society of Japan. Each annual volume consists of six regular issues, one every two months.
