???msg.biblio.abstract.label???[+][-]
We studied species of the genus Munida Leach collected during several cruises carried out off the Reunion and Aldabra Islands (western Indian Ocean) and Crozet, Saint Paul and New Amsterdam Islands (southern Indian Ocean). Four new species (M. foresti, M. muscae, M. shaula, and M. spicae) are described and illustrated and the taxonomic position of additional material from the John Murray Expedition is also discussed. A key to the species of the genus Munida from the western and southern Indian Ocean is also included.

A molecular phylogenetic analysis of the genus Hippasteria, rooted against Evoplosoma, has provided the basis for taxonomic revisions and provided insight into the biogeography of a widely occurring, cold-water group of corallivorous asteroids. Herein, we describe three new species, Hippasteria mcknighti sp. nov., Hippasteria muscipula sp. nov., and Hippasteria tiburoni sp. nov., from deep-water settings. Additionally, in light of taxonomic changes, we further elaborate on distribution data for multiple species. Range extensions for Hippasteria phrygiana and Hippasteria californica are included. Discussions about biogeography, cladogenic events, and morphology are also presented.(c) 2014 The Linnean Society of London

Four new and o ne unidentified species of parasitic Copepoda have been fou nd on three species of Polychaeta
Polynoidae, inducing ga lis on hard corals (Stylasterina and Octocorallia) in the bathyal zone of the southern
Indian and Pacifie Oceans. This is the first case of hyperassociation recorded in the Copepoda.
