Hocknull","doi":"10.5962/p.287460","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5962/p.287460","url":null,"abstract":"The Principle of Priority (ICZN 1999) is applied in resurrecting the generic name Hermundura Miiller, 1858 for pilargid polychaetes (Annelida) formerly referred to as Loandalia Monro, 1936 and Parandalia Emerson and Fauchald, 1971. All available specimens of Hermundura from northern Australia and New Guinea are described based on material held in the collections of Australia's natural history museums. Our study recognises two species, H. gladstonensis (Marks and Hocknull, 2006) comb. nov. and a new species, H. philipi sp. nov., from near Mornington Island in the southern Gulf of Carpentaria. The former species is redescribed, and new information on intraspecific variability is provided, including the presence of hardened, cuticular structures and a muscle band (sphincter) of the anterior alimentary canal. Analysis of these structures has led to a re-evaluation of the so-called 'jaws' of the closely related monotypic genus Talehsapia Fauvel, 1932, and the conclusion that they are homologous with the pharyngeal sphincter of Hermundura. Talehsapia therefore is also synonymised with Hermundura. The genus Hermundura now contains 17 species including the type species, Hermundura tricuspis Miiller, 1858, H. philipi sp. nov., and fifteen others, which are all new name combinations, viz. Hermundura annandalei (Fauvel, 1932), H. aberrans (Monro, 1936), H. fauvel i (Berkeley and Berkeley, 1941), H. americana (Hartman, 1947), H. gracilis (Hartmann-Schroder, 1959),//. indica (Thomas, 1963),//. ocularis (Emerson and Fauchald, 1971), H. maculata (Intes and Le Loeuff, 1975), H. bennei (Solis-Weiss, 1983), H. riojai (Salazar-Vallejo, 1986), H. vivianneae (Salazar-Vallejo and Reyes Barragan, 1986), H. evelinae (Leon-Gonzalez, 1991), H. salazarvallejoi (Leon-Gonzalez, 1991), H.fredrayorum (Marks and Hocknull, 2006) and H. gladstonensis (Marks and Hocknull, 2006). The genus Hermundura appears to be restricted to the tropics and subtropics, both in Australia and globally.","PeriodicalId":184392,"journal":{"name":"The Beagle : Records of the Museums and Art Galleries of the Northern Territory","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132542262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Photographs are presented that differentiate these euryhaline sharks. The small second dorsal fin of C. leucas clearly separates it from Glyphis species. The waterline (i.e. junction of dark dorsal and pale ventral colouration) on G glyphis extends just under the eye whereas it extends well below the lower margin of the eye in G garricki. Photographs showing shark bite marks on other species are presented. Because of the presence of G glyphis under 610 mm TL with umbilical scars, it is postulated that Marrakai Creek is a nursery area and an important juvenile habitat of this species especially from September-December.","PeriodicalId":184392,"journal":{"name":"The Beagle : Records of the Museums and Art Galleries of the Northern Territory","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114608405","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The type species, Treptopale rudolphi Perkins, 1985, is redescribed from additional material from the type locality in the Florida Keys, western Atlantic Ocean, and from material examined from the Cape Verde Islands and Cape Town, South Africa. The morphology of the notochaetal lateral paleae group separates the Atlantic Treptopale rudolphi from a cryptic Treptopale species complex that extends from the Seychelles, western Indian Ocean, throughout the western Indo-Pacific to Hawai'i, eastern Pacific Ocean. Morphological analysis of tropical northern Australian populations of the two new Treptopale species, which are typically found among Halimeda algae on coral reefs, revealed two species separated primarily on the shape and insertion point of a transitional lateral palea and a marked difference in the degree of raised ribs of the main paleae: Treptopale homalos sp. nov. is predominantly found along the eastern Queensland coast from Heron Island north to New Guinea; T. paramolos sp. nov. is predominantly found along the Northern Territory coast. The two species occur sympatrically in a number of localities across tropical northern Australia and both are present on offshore and mainland reefs of northern Western Australia. Reproductive and larval states and chaetal patterns within and between species are presented. The two patterns of morphology and diversity present in these taxa, observed also across the Indo-Pacific, are plausibly related to ancient colonisation histories.","PeriodicalId":184392,"journal":{"name":"The Beagle : Records of the Museums and Art Galleries of the Northern Territory","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121838474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
