Parastacus guapo sp. nov. Huber, Araujo & Ribeiro (Figs. 1–6) Type series. Holotype: adult male, Brazil, Rio Grande do Sul, Pantano Grande, Horto Sanga das Pedras, Zona Alagada (30°13’28.4”S, 52°24’44.1”W) 20/X/2020, coll. A.F. Huber; K.M. Gomes & F.B. Ribeiro (MNRJcarcino 030200). Paratype 1: 1 female, same data as holotype (MNRJcarcino 030201); Paratype 3: 1 female, same data as holotype (MNRJcarcino 030202); Paratypes 2, 4–6: 1 male, 3 females and 2 juveniles, same data as holotype (UFRGS 6932). Etymology. Named based on the regional expression “guapo”, originally of spanish language and a typical expression in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, which means beautiful, charming and elegant. It refers to the greenish blue color present principally in chelipeds of this species. We also suggest the common name “guapo crayfish” for this species. Diagnosis. Front with short triangular rostrum. Rostral apex shaped as inverted “U”, with long straight up-ward blunt spine. Eyes small. Suborbital angle>90° and unarmed. Postorbital carinae more prominent in anterior and middle portions. Cervical groove weakly V-shaped. Areola narrow and barely discernible. Telson subrectangular with large sharp spines on lateral margins.

Cephalothorax anterior and lateral regions brown with shades of light brown to greenish-blue. First pair of pereiopods greenish-blue on the external surface, greenish-blue with shades of light brown in internal surface and apex of dactylus and propodus orange-red to reddish-brown. Pereiopod pairs 2–5 light brown to light greenish-blue in the dorsal and lateral regions and light brown in the ventral region. Dorsal pleon and taifan brown with shades of light greenish-brown, low portions of lateral margins of pleon with shades of greenish-blue (Fig. 4). Variations in paratypes. All paratypes present both masculine and feminine gonopores in the same individual. Male paratypes also present female gonopores semi-ellipsoidal (average maximum diameter 1.2 mm) covered by a calcified membrane. Male gonopores are very similar in all male paratypes. Front wide in paratype 1 (FW / CW = 47.5%). Rostrum of paratypes 3 and 5 long once they reach the distal portion of the third article of antennule. Suborbital angle 90° in paratype 5. Rostral and postorbital carena of similar sizes in paratypes 2 and 3. Pleon long in paratypes 2 and 5 (PL / CL = 82.9% and 80.3%, respectively). S2 pleura moderate in paratypes 1 and 4, long in paratype 6, high and moderate in paratype 3 and high and long in paratype 5. Number of spines in exopod of tailfan varies between eight or nine dorsolateral spines (outer) and four, six or seven in dorsolateral spines (inner) on right side and eight or nine dorsolateral spines (outer) and five or six dorsolateral spines (inner) on the left side. Epistome anteromedian lobe longer than wide in paratype 2. Antennule internal ventral border of the basal article with one spine in the middle portion of left side in paratype 1 and with spines on both sides in paratypes 2, 4, 5 and 6. Antenna when extended back reaching the posterior margin of fourth pleura in paratypes 2 and 6. Antennal scale reaches the proximal margin of the third antennal article of antennule in paratype 1. Incisive lobe of the mandible has eight teeth in paratypes 6. The number of teeth in the crista dentata ranges from 21—27 in the left ischium and from 20—32 in the right ischium of the third maxilliped in the paratypes. Merus midventral spine doubles in paratype 5. Carpal spine more prominent and sharp in paratypes 1, 3 and 4. Dorsal spine sharp in both merus of chelipeds in paratypes 2 and 3. The number of teeth in fixed fingers of chelipeds and dactylus have a wide range of variation in size and number, which is probably related to the smaller size of paratypes when compared to holotype or regenerated chelipeds. Remarks. Parastacus guapo sp. nov. is morphologically similar to P. brasiliensis, P. buckupi, P. macanudo and P. promatensis in the general shape of rostrum, rostral carina length, shape of telson (subrectangular) and epistome anteromedian lobe pentagonal (Fig. 2A–C, G; 3A; Table 2). However, it differs from: P. brasiliensis in rostral surface straight, sub-orbital angle> 90°, postorbital carinae prominent in anterior and middle portions, carpal spine present, internal surface of chelipeds palm with sparse tubercules, areola narrow and pleon short (Fig. 2A–C; 3A, H, I; Table 2); P. buckupi in the same characters that P. brasiliensis, except the areola narrow, and is also different for mandible incisive lobe with nine teeth (the third tooth from the anterior margin is the largest), mandible caudal molar process bicuspidate, internal surface of chelipeds palm with sparse tubercules and telson with large lateral spines (Fig. 2A–C, G; 3E, H, J; Table 2); P. macanudo in a bigger rostral spine, postorbital carinae prominent in anterior and middle portions, mandible incisive lobe with the third tooth the largest, 2–3 rows of verrucose tubercles irregularly distributed in the palm dorsal surface of chelipeds, internal surface of chelipeds palm with sparse tubercules and the habitat (Fig. 2A–C; 3E, H, J; Table 2); P. promatensis in the apex of rostrum rounded, sub-orbital angle> 90°, postorbital carinae prominent in anterior and middle portions, cervical groove “V” shaped, carpal spine present, 2–3 rows of verrucose tubercles irregularly distributed in the palm dorsal surface of chelipeds and pleon short; however both species have internal surface of chelipeds palm with sparse tubercules (Fig. 2 A-D; 3H; Table 2). Parastacus guapo sp. nov. differs from all other Parastacus species in having the epistome anterolateral section with large conical projection ending in a large sharp spine on both sides (Fig. 3A). Phylogenetic position. The phylogenetic analysis suggests, with high values of reliability (bootstrap and posterior probability), that P. guapo sp. nov. is a distinct species of P. brasiliensis s.s., Lineages A–E, and other species of the genus included (Fig. 5). The genetic distances estimated between P. guapo sp. nov. and P. brasiliensis s. s. was 5.35% (Sup. Table. 2). Besides that, the lineages range from 3.41% (Lineage C) to 5.95% (Lineage E), and of other species from 4.05% (P. buckupi) to 5.90% (P. tuerkayi) (Sup. Table. 2). Habitat and ecology. Parastacus guapo sp. nov. was collected in a wetland area, near a small stream, inside the Sanga das Pedras project of CMPC (Fig. 1). This forestry area is located in the Baixo Jacuí hydrographic basin in the central region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul (Fig. 6). The area is part of the physiographic region of Depressão Central, almost in the division with the Planalto Sul Rio Grandense region, and of the Pampa biome (IBGE 2004a; 2004b; SIGBio-RS 2021). ......continued on the next page Vegetation. The region has as predominant vegetation grassy-woody steppe with gallery forests or riparian vegetation associated with streams and their overflow zones (Fig 6 A, B). In addition to the presence of forestry areas of Eucalyptus sp., the native plant formations of the region are mainly composed of grasses and bushes of the families Poaceae (Paspalum spp. L., Andropogon lateralis Nees —“Capim Caninha’’ and Mnesithea selloana (Hack.) de Koning & Sosef), Asteraceae (Baccharis ochracea Spreng. —“Vassoura do Campo”, Vernonanthura nudiflora (Less.) H.Rob., Senecio selloi (Spreng.) DC and Senecio brasiliensis (Spreng.) Less. —“Maria Mole”), Cyperaceae (Eleocharis spp. R.Br., Rhynchosia diversifolia Micheli. and Cyperus spp. L.), Fabaceae (Desmodium incanum (Sw.) DC —“Pega Pega”, Trifolium polymorphum Poir. —“Trevo” and Macroptilium prostratum (Benth.) Urb.), Solanaceae (Solanum spp. L.) and some small trees like Myrtaceae (Psidium cattleianum Sabine —“Araçá”) (Caumo et al. 2020) (Fig. 6). Soil. The soil is classified as Dystrophic Red Argisols, but mixed with Dystrophic Red-Yellow Argisols (Santos et al. 2011). These types of soils have accentuated red colors due to higher levels of iron oxides and usually occur in areas of undulating relief, but they can be identified in less steep areas. They have low fertility that could be explained by relief slope, nutrient limitations, strong acidity, high drainage capacity and also high susceptibility to erosion and degradation (AGEITEC 2021a; Santos et al. 2011; 2021a; 2021b; Streck et al. 2002; 2008). Burrowing behavior and burrow structure. According to observations of burrows structure and characteristics of the habitat, Parastacus guapo sp. nov. can be classified as a primary burrower with types 1a, b burrows, due to the construction of complex tunnels close and with direct and indirect connections to permanent water bodies (Hobbs 1942; Horwitz & Richardson 1986; Richardson, 2007) (Fig. 6). This species builds burrow galleries of 1–4 interconnected tunnels, which can reach a depth up to 1m ending in a life chamber. The entries of the galleries are delimited by simple holes or by chimneys, which can reach up to 8 cm high and wide (Fig. 6C, D). Distribution. Parastacus guapo sp. nov. appears to have limited distribution, being registered only in the municipality of Pantano Grande, central region of Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil (Fig. 1). Conservation status. Data Deficient. The EOO and AOO were estimated as approximately 937 km ² and 1, 87 km ² (or 0, 38 km ² considering only preserved habitat), respectively (Fig. 1). According to the sub-criteria B1 and B2, an EOO

In this contribution, we describe two new species of burrowing crayfish species complex Parastacus brasiliensis from forestry areas in the central region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil. We used an integrative taxonomy approach with morphology and the mitochondrial DNA 16S rRNA gene and also evaluated their conservation status according to the IUCN Red List Criteria. Parastacus guapo sp. nov. was collected near the municipality of Pantano Grande and it differs from all other congeneric species in having an epistome anterolateral section with a large conical projection ending in a big sharp spine on both sides. It also differs from P. brasiliensis sensu stricto in the shape of the rostral surface, sub-orbital angle, postorbital carina straight, sub-orbital angle > 90°, postorbital carinae prominent in anterior and middle portions, carpal spine present, the internal surface of chelipeds palm with sparse tubercules, areola narrow and pleon short. Parastacus gomesae sp. nov. was collected in the municipality of São Jerônimo, it differs from all analysed species for rostral spine absent, epistome anteromedian lobe heptagonal and mandible incisive process with seven teeth (the second tooth from the anterior margin is the largest). It is also distinguished of P. brasiliensis sensu stricto in the sub-orbital angle > 90°, postorbital carinae prominent in anterior and middle portions, 3–4 rows of verrucose tubercles irregularly distributed on the palm dorsal surface of chelipeds, areola narrow and pleon short. Phylogenetic relationships confirmed the distinct position of these new species to the already described species. The extent of occurrence (EOO) / area of occurrence (AOO) of P. guapo sp. nov and P. gomesae sp. nov. were estimated at 937 km² / 1,87 km², and 2.107 km² / 23,9 km² respectively. The main threats identified were continued decline in the quality of habitats, resulting from deforestation and forestry areas. However, as we know only one point of occurrence for each new species, we suggest that both be categorized as Data Deficient.

These authors also raised the possibility of the occurrence in the states of Piauí, Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, Alagoas, Bahia and Espírito Santo, the latter in the southeastern Brazil. In addition, the occurrence of this species was also recorded in the states of Pará (Monod,1969) and Rio de Janeiro (Richardson,1901).This is the first record for the state of Bahia, particularly in the northern portion (12°44′49″S 38°29′38″W). The southernmost record of C. excisa in western South Atlantic is La Plata (Argentina) (Gerstaecker, 1901). Cymothoa excisa was redescribed by Thatcher et al. (2003) based on material from the Florianopolis Island, state of Santa Catarina, southern Brazil. Females are distinguished mainly by the acute anterolateral angles of pereonite 1 reaching or surpassing the eyes; the truncate cephalon, deeply immersed in pereonite 1; eyes present but inconspicuous; pereonites 4-6 subequal in width; pleon deeply immersed in pereonite 7 (Fig. 1); and pleopods trilaminate (Thatcher et al., 2003). Males are similar to females, but smaller and with pleopod 2 lacking an appendix masculinum (Thatcher et al., 2003). Hosts: Thehostofpresentspecimensisunknown.However, C. excisa was already found parasitizing fishes of the families Gerreidae, Haemulidae, Lutjanidae, Priacanthidae, Sciaenidae and Synodontidae (Joca et al., 2015).

Gabunillo aridicola Souzaı Senna and Kuryı 2010 Distribution Gruta do Sobradinho caveı Aiuabaı state of Cear��ı and Lajedo da Soledadeı Apodiı state of Rio Grande do Norte (Souza et al. 2010). Remarks Souza et al. (2010) described the second species of the genus Gabunillo, G. aridicolla Souzaı Senna and Kuryı 2010 ı with specimens collected in the Brazilian states of Cear�� and Rio Grande do Norte. The species was included in the genus Gabunillo based on the shape of cephalonı pereonites 2 and 3 without ventral lobesı telson trianguları shape of uropods and pleopod exopods without pleopodal lungs (see also Schmalfuss and Ferrara 1983). The authors mentioned that the uropod of G. aridicola resembles the genera synarmadillo Dollfusı 1892ı Ethelumoris Richardsonı 1907 and Togarmadillo Schmalfuss and Ferraraı 1983 (see also Ferrara and Schmalfuss 1976; Schmalfuss and Ferrara 1983). Howeverı comparing the description of G. coecus and mentioned genera with G. aridicola ı it is possible to observe some differences: the uropod protopod with concave depression bearing glandular pores and distal margin rounded (vs. absent and indented in G. coecus; present in species of synarmadillo)ı and uropod exopod is inserted on median portion of the protopod (vs. exopod inserted near distal margin in G. coecus and all genera). Moreoverı on SEM photographs of the pleopod exopods of G. aridicola ı it seems to have covered monospiracular pleopodal lungs (see Figure 3C and E in Souza et al. 2010). Future morphological analyses are needed to elucidate if the pleopod exopods of G. aridicola have pleopodal lungs and confirm its taxonomic statement. Thus farı G. aridicola differs from all mentioned taxa in having the cephalon with frontal shield fused with vertex (vs. frontal shield well marked in all mentioned generaı except G. coecus)ı posterior corner of the pereonite 1 epimera with short schisma (vs. schisma along all epimera in Ethelumoris and synarmadillo; half of its pereonite length in Togarmadillo)ı and pereonite 2 and 3 epimera wihout ventral lobe (vs. ventral lobe in Ethelumoris and synarmadillo) (see Ferrara and Taiti 1976; Schmalfuss and Ferrara 1983; Souza et al. 2010). Thusı in the light of the above considerationsı we recommend a re-examination of the type-material to confirm or not the placement of the species in the genus Gabunillo., Published as part of Camile Sorbo Fernandes, Ivanklin Soares Campos-Filho, Paula Beatriz Araujo & Bichuette, Maria Elina, 2019, Synopsis of terrestrial isopods (Crustacea: Isopoda: Oniscidea) from Brazilian caves�� with emphasis on new records from north�� midwest�� northeast and southeast regions, pp. 1095-1129 in Journal of Natural History 53 (17) on page 1119, DOI: 10.1080/00222933.2019.1634225, http://zenodo.org/record/3673375, {"references":["Souza LAi Senna ARi Kury AB. 2010.

Circoniscus bezzii Arcangeliı 1931 Distribution Circoniscus bezzii is recorded from the Brazilian states of Esp��rito Santoı Mato Grossoı Minas Gerais and S��o Pauloı and with dubious record from Paraguay (Souza-Kury and Lemos de Castro 1991; Schultz 1995; Schmidt 2007). In cavesı it is recorded from Caverna Vereda da Palha caveı Presidente Oleg��rioı state of Minas Gerais (Campos-Filho et al. 2014). Remarks Arcangeli (1931) described Circoniscus bezzii from Carandasinhoı state of Mato Grosso. Souza-Kury and Lemos de Castro (1991) extended its distribution for the states of Esp��rito Santoı Minas Gerais and S��o Paulo. Schultz (1995) recorded this species from province of Canendiyuı Paraguayı mentioned that C. gracilidens Souza and Lemos de Castroı 1991 [synonym of C. incisus (see Schmidt 2007)]ı C. incisus Souza and Lemos de Castroı 1991 ı and C. pallidus Arcangeliı 1936 probably are synonyms of C. bezzii (the author did not include these species in the synonym list of C. bezzii)ı and misinterpreted its distribution for the Brazilian state of Rio de Janeiro to Rio de La Plata drainage; the latter without accuracy (this drainage is located between Argentina and Uruguay) (see Schultz 1995). Leistikow and W��gele (1999) considered the paper of Schultz (1995) and misunderstood the distribution of C. bezzii for the states of P��ra and Minas Gerais. This species has never been recorded from Par�� and this misinterpretation was followed by subsequent authors (Schmalfuss 2003; Campos-Filho et al. 2014 ı 2018a). Schmidt (2007) with material from Rio de Janeiro and S��o Paulo re-described the species and based on pereonites 1 and 2 epimera with ventral lobesı mentioned that Schultz ��� s specimens probably belong to C. incisus. Regarding the previous informationı the correct distribution of C. bezzii are those localities in Souza- Kury and Lemos de Castro (1991) ı Schmidt (2007) and Campos-Filho et al. (2014).

Atlantoscia australis sp. nov. differs from A. antennamaculata sp. nov. in having the distal portion of the telson triangular (vs. narrower in A. antennamaculata), antennula with eight aesthetascs (vs. 11 in A. antennamaculata), male pleopod 1 exopod with distal portion not elongated (vs. elongated in A. antennamaculata), male pleopod 1 endopod with distal portion slightly directed outwards (vs. bent outwards in A. antennamaculata), and male pleopod 5 exopod triangular (vs. rhomboid in A. antennamaculata). Phylogenetic Analysis. All specimens of A. antennamaculata sp. nov. and A. australis sp. nov. presented a single mitochondrial haplotype for the COI sequences. In addition, no intraspecific variation was found in the 18S sequences for both species. For this reason, the new species are represented, each one, by a single sequence in the phylogenetic trees. Final COI alignment consists of 640 bp, with 203 variable sites and 170 parsimony informative sites. On the other hand, final 18S alignment consists of 434 bp (including gaps), with 33 variable sites and 22 parsimony informative sites. Maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses produced trees with similar topologies (data not shown). Although the phylogenies generated with mitochondrial COI (Fig. 7) and 18S nuclear (Fig. 8) sequences did not exhibit the same groupings among the Atlantoscia species, they were congruent regarding the taxa of interest; that is, both markers support the validity of the two new species of Atlantoscia. Some disagreement between the molecular markers is expected due to the different evolutionary rates between them. More specifically, the short size of the nuclear sequences added to their lower evolutionary rates may have generated the lack of congruence among some of the generated clades when compared to the mitochondrial tree. These results, however, do not interfere with the validity of the new species described herein. Sequences were deposited in GenBank under the accession numbers MH047282 to MH047285.3 The average mtDNA genetic distance among species of Atlantoscia was 13.9%, ranging from 13.4 to 20%. The genetic distance between A. antennamaculata sp. nov. and the other congeneric species was 15.4%; for A. australis sp. nov. this value was 17% (Table 1). In relation to the conserved nuclear sequences, the average genetic distance among Atlantoscia species was 0.8%. The genetic distances between Atlantoscia species and the new species A. antennamaculata sp. nov. and A. australis sp. nov. were 1.2% and 0.7%, respectively (Table 2). Species delimitation. The likelihood of the null model in the GMYC analysis was significantly lower than the maximum likelihood of species delimitation (38.31 versus 45.11, ratio = 14.96, P = 0.001). As the null model assumes that all individuals within the sample belong to a single species, we reject this model. The GMYC analyses based on the COI dataset indicated the presence of 7 ML entities. Meanwhile, ABGD analysis with JC69 and K2P models produced ten recursive partitions, which recovered seven groups in all cases. These results support those of the phylogenetic analysis and confirmed the taxonomic validity of the currently recognized species of Atlantoscia.

Pereopod 1 slightly shorter (Fig. 2K), pereopods 2–7 gradually increasing in size especially the ischia (Fig. 2L). Pleon with five distinct pleomeres plus pleotelson; pleomeres 1–5 with extended lanceolate lateral plates with margins weakly crenulated; five pairs of biramous pleopods also lanceolate with endopods at least half of size of exopods and weakly crenulated, exopods crenulated; uropods uniramous and similar to size and shape to pleopods (Fig 2B).

Remarks. Pseudione ivanklini sp. nov. is the fourth species of Pseudione found parasitizing Nephropidae, in the present case, Nephropsis aculeata (Fig. 1A). The other species were associated with the genera Nephropsis Wood-Mason, 1872 and Metanephrops Jenkins, 1972 (Table 1). In addition, Markham (1999) commented that Bouvier (1925) recorded an unidentified bopyrid from N. aculeata in the Caribbean. The overall body shape of females is morphologically similar to the other species (Table 1). However, close analysis reveals differences between them, including comparison with the most morphologically similar species P. tanimbarensis Markham, 1999. These include differences in the antennae, barbula, maxilliped, oostegite 1 and pleopods. The antennae in Pseudione ivanklini sp. nov. have five articles (eight in P. tanimbarensis); barbula with longer outer projection; maxilliped with palp deeply inset in the sinuous distal margin of the largest article not extending beyond it (vs. palp not inset and slightly extending beyond the distal margin); oostegite 1 inner margin with irregular border and sinuous internal ridge with seven distinct lobes (vs. straight contour in inner margin and internal ridge with few tiny lobes); and pleopods more crenulated (Table 1). The male of Pseudione ivanklini sp. nov. is similar to P. atlantica Bourdon, 1971 and P. tanimbarensis regarding the absence of pleopods. However, it differs from P. tanimbarensis by having the antennae with five articles (vs. six); and differs from P. atlantica in having the pereon broadest across pereomeres 5–7 (vs. all pereomeres subequal). This is the southernmost record of Pseudione (~32° latitude). Distribution. This species is recorded only from southern Brazilian waters (Fig. 4).

Parastacus buckupi sp. nov. is also similar to P. fluviatilis and P. pilimanus in having the cutting edge of fingers covered by tufts of long and simple setae (Fig. 7). Parastacus buckupi sp. nov. differs from all other Parastacus species by the large and globose chelipeds with tufts of plumose setae in the cutting edge of fingers, which are more abundant in the proximal portion (Fig. 7A) and telson subrectangular with acute distal margin (Fig. 1A, G). It was observed that the distal margin of the telson is rounded in smaller specimens (Paratype 1–5; Tab. 1). All specimens are intersexed. In males paratypes, the female gonopores are semi-ellipsoidal (average maximum diameter 1.76 mm) covered by a calcified membrane. The male gonopores are similar in all type material. Habitat and Ecology. Carvão stream is included in the Serra Geral Biological Reserve (Vilella et al., 2004), with headwaters located about 800 m above sea level (a.s.l.; Fig. 3A, B). This stream is nearly 3.5 km of length with a catchment area of approximately 6 km ² and the margins are surrounded by riparian vegetation including Araucaria angustifolia (Bertol.) Kuntze, 1898 and grasslands (Araucaria Forest province) (IBGE, 1990; Vilella et al., 2004; Sydow et al., 2008; Morrone, 2014). The substrate of the creek is basaltic with arenite in the lower portions (Vilella et al., 2004) (Fig. 3A, B). Data concerning burrow morphology and burrowing behavior are not available since they were not recorded when the specimens were collected. However, it is possible that the new species shows some level of burrowing activity especially considering that the burrowing behavior is probably found in all species of Parastacus (Buckup and Rossi, 1980). . Distribution. Parastacus buckupi sp. nov. is so far recorded in Carvão stream in the municipality of Maquiné, state of Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil (Fig. 8). Conservation status. The EOO was estimated at approximately 301.885 km ² (Fig. 8), indicating that this species can be included in the Endangered – EN category, in which the EOO is less than 5,000 km ² (IUCN, 2012). The species is categorized as EN under the subitem “a”: for an EOO, which is severely fragmented; and subitem “b” (iii): continuing decline in quality of habitat. Both subitems are compatible with the threats existing in the species occurrence area: a small fragment of a stream with approximately 6 km ² of catchment area (Vilella et. al., 2004). The region of Maquiné basin is impacted mainly through the substitution of natural vegetation by agriculture (Becker et al., 2004). Conservation in the Maquiné basin is of fundamental importance since the region constitutes the southern limit of dense Ombrophylous Forest (Atlantic Forest) and all associated animals and plants (Bencke and Kindel, 1999; Becker et al., 2004). We suggest therefore that the conservation status of this species be classified as ENDANGERED B1ab(iii).

Parastacus pilicarpus sp. nov. is morphologically similar to P. buckupi sp. nov. in having the rostral apex inverted U-shaped and short rostral carinae. Parastacus pilicarpus sp. nov. is also similar to P. buckupi sp. nov., P. fluviatilis and P. pilimanus by the presence of tufts of long and simple setae on the cutting edge of fingers of chelipeds (Fig. 7). Parastacus pilicarpus sp. nov. differs from all other Parastacus spp. in having the epistome anteromedian lobe heptagonal, as long as wide (Fig 5A), antennal scale lateral margin curved with a very strong terminal spine (Fig. 5D), mandible incisive lobe with the first tooth from the anterior margin being the largest and the presence of tufts of long and simple setae in the distal portion of carpus (Fig. 5I). All specimens are intersexed. In males paratypes the female gonopores are semi-ellipsoidal (average maximum diameter 1.69 mm) covered by a calcified membrane (Fig. 5B). The male gonopores are similar in all type material. Habitat and Ecology. All animals were collected in the headwaters of Manoel Alves stream which is considered a first order stream. Based on photographs (Fig. 6A, B), it is possible to infer that the margins are surrounded by riparian vegetation, gravel and rocks probably from basaltic origin. Despite the absence of information on burrowing behavior and burrow morphology, the possibility of the species shows some burrowing ability, cannot be discarded since according to Buckup and Rossi (1980) burrowing behavior is probably found in all species of Parastacus. Distribution. Parastacus pilicarpus sp. nov. is so far recorded in the headwater of Manoel Alves stream in the municipality of Morro Grande, state of Santa Catarina, southern Brazil (Fig. 8). Conservation status. The EOO was estimated at approximately 1,037.123 km �� (Fig. 8), indicating that this species should be included in the Endangered ��� EN category, in which the EOO is less than 5,000 km �� (IUCN, 2012). This classification as EN takes into consideration the subitem ���a���: for an EOO, which is severely fragmented; and subitem ���b��� (iii): continuing decline in quality of habitat. The region of Ararangu�� River basin is target of industrial and agricultural waste (Ara��jo et. al., 1989). The Ararangu�� River basin is recognized as an endemic area of fish species (Malabarba and Isaia, 1992; Reis and Schaefer, 1998), as Hollandichthys taramandahy Bertaco & Malabarba, 2013 (Lambari- striped). Unfortunately, the area shows high level of anthropogenic disturbances, as the deforestation of riparian forest (Bertaco and Malabarba, 2013). However, we do not have enough surveys to make that claim yet for the state of Santa Catarina. Consequently, the EOO for P. pilicarpus sp. nov. could be underestimated in our study. Taking this into account, we decided to classify this species as DATA DEFICIENT., Published as part of Huber, Augusto Frederico, Ribeiro, Felipe Bezerra & Araujo, Paula Beatriz, 2018, New endemic species of freshwater crayfish Parastacus Huxley, 1879 (Crustacea: Decapoda: Parastacidae) from the Atlantic forest in southern Brazil, pp. 1-18 in Nauplius 26 on pages 10-17, DOI: 10.1590/2358-2936e2018015, http://zenodo.org/record/3571255, {"references":["Huxley, T.

Genus Brasiloniscus gen. nov. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:9 BFCE 119-2473-4F76-A071-56FB5259350A Brasiloniscus Lemos de Castro, 1973: 3. [unavailable name] Brasiloniscus – Leistikow & Wägele 1999: 42. — Schmalfuss 2003: 57. — Schmidt 2003:79. — Schmidt & Leistikow 2004: 17. — Campos-Filho et al. 2017c: 70. Braziloniscus [sic] – Souza-Kury 1998: 665 [catalogue]. Type species Brasiloniscus maculatus (Lemos de Castro, 1973), by present designation. Diagnosis Exoantennal conglobation; pereonite 1 with dorsal v-shaped median depression on anterior portion, epimeron with schisma and dorsolateral furrow to fit antennae during conglobation; pereonites 1–3 epimera with ventral lobes slightly developed; pleon outline continuous with that of pereonite 7, neopleurae 3–5 well developed and rectangular; telson triangular, proximal portion wider than distal one; antenna partially covering eyes during conglobation, flagellum of three articles, second and third divided by slender suture, sometimes inconspicuous; uropod protopod subrectangular, exopod inserted on outer distal groove, distally; pleopod exopods with respiratory areas Atracheodillo - type. Remarks The characters used by Lemos de Castro (1973) to define the genus, such as cephalon with large frontal shield, pereonite 1 epimeron with well-developed dorsolateral furrow, pereonites 2 and 3 epimera with ventral lobes, and neopleurae 3–5 with distal portion not narrowed, are in fact characteristics observed at the family level, since these are also present in Pudeoniscus. The genus Brasiloniscus gen. nov. differs from Pudeoniscus in having the pereonite 1 epimeron with lateral schisma and ventral lobe well developed, cephalon with frontal shield larger and antennal flagellum with articles subequal in length.

FEMALE PLEOPOD 1–5 EXOPODS. As in Fig. 4D–H. Uropod (Fig. 3E) endopod about twice as long as exopod. Remarks Lemos de Castro (1973) provided the description of this species based on females. Even though the respiratory area can be seen, it is not possible to compare the male characters. Also, as mentioned by Lemos de Castro (1973), B. verrucosus gen. et comb. nov. differs from B. maculatus gen. et comb. nov. by the distinct dorsal tuberculation, the shape of telson with distal portion narrower, the shape of schisma on pereonite 1, and the shape of ventral lobes on pereonites 1 and 2. All these characteristics were confirmed here, however male characters remain unknown.

Brasiloniscus littoralis gen. et sp. nov. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:5C0F5435-A652-4345-AF75-76D746432BFE Figs 5–6, 7C Diagnosis Body with dorsal surface slightly tuberculate, telson triangular with lateral sides concave and distal portion narrow, dactylar seta with fringe of small setae on apex, male pleopod 1 exopod as long as wide with deep re-entrance on distal portion, and male pleopod 1 endopod with distal portion acute bearing a slight lobe on inner margin. Etymology The new specific epithet refers to the Latin adjective ‘littoralis’, used to describe the seashore/coast, in reference to the locality where the specimens were collected. Material examined Holotype BRAZIL: 1 ♂, state of Rio de Janeiro, Trindade, 23°19′47.71″ S, 44°42′20.59″ W, on tree bark, 6 Dec. 2013, G.M. Cardoso and I.S. Campos-Filho leg. (MZUSP 36181).

Ischium as long as base, propodus twice as long as carpus. GENITAL PAPILLA. As in Fig. 6E. PLEOPODS. Pleopod 1 (Fig. 6F–G) exopod slightly wider than long, deep re-entrancy on distal margin, inner and outer margins rounded, outer and distal margins bearing setae; endopod twice as long as exopod, distal portion directed outwards with small inner lobe and narrow apex. Pleopod 2 (Fig. 6H) exopod with outer margin sinuous bearing many setae; endopod longer than exopod. Pleopod 3 exopod (Fig. 6I) triangular, outer margin concave bearing many small setae. Pleopods 4–5 exopods (Fig. 6J–K) rhomboid, outer margin slightly concave bearing small setae along the margin. Remarks The new species resembles B. maculatus gen. et comb. nov. in the shape of body and male pleopod 1; it can be easily distinguished in the shape of the telson, pereopod 7 base without lobe on distal sternal margin, and dactylar seta with fringe of thin setae on the distal portion. As mentioned previously, the male of B. verrucosus gen. et comb. nov. remains unknown, which makes a comparison with the new species difficult. However, B. littoralis gen. et sp. nov. is distinguished from B. verrucosus gen. et comb. nov. in the absence of dorsal tuberculation (see also Fig. 7B–C).

Nicolet (1849) briefly described and illustrated a crayfish species from Chile giving the name Astacus chilensis. Nevertheless, this name was already used by Milne-Edwards (1837). Philipp’s (1882) contribution concerning the Chilean crayfish fauna provided the description of A. nicoleti. This description was based on the species described by Nicolet (1849). Bahamonde (1958) believed that Philippi had the opportunity to analyze Nicolet’s material, which no longer exists in the collection of the MNHNCL. Bahamonde (1958) redescribed and validated P. nicoleti based on the analysis of several specimens deposited in MNHNCL (lots 2026, 2053, 2072 and 2211) and stated that the type specimen was lost. The author provided drawings, pictures, measurements and comments on the species’ distribution and biological aspects. Buckup and Rossi (1993) redescribed the species based on material from the Zoologisches Museum of the University of Hamburg, Germany and the Museu Nacional do Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The examination of the lots used by Bahamonde (1958) to validate the species allowed us to designate a neotype from lot 2211, which contains the best preserved specimens. Moreover, this lot was referred by Bahamonde (1958) as containing three males and seven females of P. nicoleti, but in fact, presently it contains seven specimens of P. nicoleti (three males and four females) and five specimens of P. pugnax. One of the males of P. nicoleti (Fig. 1) was separated and considered the neotype (MNHNCL DEC–15001). Additional characters provided herein are based on the neotype and additional material and include: rostrum apex truncated, ending in upturned small blunt tubercle (Fig. 2B, C); front narrow (Fig. 2A, B); lateral cephalic edge with dense setation (Fig. 2A, C); S2 pleurae with shallow groove, parallel to margin, low and short (Fig. 2D); telson uniformly calcified, subtriangular, longer than wide, lacking lateral spines on lateral margins, rounded distal margin with abundant long plumose setae and short simple setae; uropod exopod and endopod lateral margin lacking spines (Fig. 3E); epistome anterolateral section with inconspicuous projection, posterolateral section smooth and with deep lateral grooves converging to the basis of the anteromedian lobe and reduced median circular concavity, anteromedian lobe triangular, 1.16x longer than wide, apex acute and straight with some serrate setae, reaching median part of antepenultimate article of antennal peduncle; dorsal surface straight and basis with a shallow groove (Fig. 3A); antennal scale lateral margin curved, antenna coxa with a straight carina above nephropore, tubercles or spines absent (Fig. 3D); antennule internal ventral border of basal article with a spine (Fig. 3A); mandible with cephalic molar process molariform and caudal molar process bicuspidate, incisive lobe with eight teeth, the second tooth from the anterior is the largest (Fig. 3E); SLP4 and SLP5 subequal in size and separated to each other, medial keel present and not inflated; SLP6 larger than SLP4 and SLP5 with slightly concave dorsal surface, medial keel present and slightly inflated; SLP7 largest and with slightly concave surface, median keel present and inflated; SLP8 smaller than SLP7, median keel absent, vertical arms of paired sternopleural bridges close to each other, bullar lobes visible and close to each other (Fig. 3B, C); third maxilliped ischium ventral surface partially covered by tufts of short and long simple setae (Fig. 3F), dorsal surface glabrous (Fig. 3G), crista dentata bearing up to 25 teeth on both ischia, merus ventral surface covered by tufts of long and simple setae and some serrate setae (Fig. 3F); chelipeds large and subequal, globose, merus without dorsal and midventral spines, carpus, propodus and proximal portion of the dactylus bear conspicuous tubercles (Fig. 3H, I); second pair of pereiopods with ventral and dorsal surface of carpus, propodus and dactylus moderately covered by long and simple setae (Fig. 3J); female gonopores absent in the neotype, but present in all specimens labeled as females and in some of those labeled as males (Fig. 3B). Distribution. Chile: Coastal zones to the Longitudinal Valley, between the municipality of Gorbea (39°05’S; 72°38’W) and the River Chaquihua (41°26’S; 73°06’W) (close to Puerto Montt) (Rudolph 2010; 2013) (Fig. 4). Color of live specimens. Rostrum, cephalothorax anterior and lateral regions, pereiopods, dorsal pleon and tailfan dark brown to reddish brown. Antennal flagellum dark blue (Rudolph 2010). Habitat and Ecology. Vegas or hualves. This species occurs in underground waters in small valleys or depressions between mountains or topographic depressions, usually associated with perennial forests and at the top of some hills in the Cordillera de la Costa (Rudolph 2013). Parastacus nicoleti builds deep burrows with multiple entrance tunnels (Rudolph 2013)., Published as part of Ribeiro, Felipe Bezerra & Araujo, Paula Beatriz, 2017, Designation of a neotype for Parastacus nicoleti (Philippi, 1882) (Crustacea: Decapoda: Parastacidae), pp. 393-400 in Zootaxa 4338 (2) on pages 394-399, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4338.2.13, http://zenodo.org/record/1036083, {"references":["Philippi, R.

Female paratypes differ from the holotype in the larger body size and larger pleurae of the abdominal somites. Parastacus caeruleodactylus sp. nov. is morphologically closely related to strong burrowing species of the genus Parastacus, as P. defossus, P. nicoleti and P. pugnax in having chelipeds with a globose propodus and a narrow abdomen in relation to CW. However, it differs from all other Parastacus species in the large gap between the dactylus and the fixed finger of the first pair of pereiopods; the blue coloration of these fingers and in having the dense setation of the dactylus, propodus and carpus of the second pair of pereiopods. All paratypes presents both masculine and feminine gonopores in the same individual. Male paratypes also present female gonopores semi-ellipsoidal (average maximum diameter 0.97 �� 0.47 mm) covered by a calcified membrane. Female paratypes presents female gonopores ellipsoidal (average maximum diameter 1.04 �� 0.07 mm) covered by a thin and less calcified membrane. Male gonopores are very similar in males and females. Habitat and ecology. Parastacus caeruleodactylus sp. nov. was collected in flat wetlands near the foothills of the Serra Geral and in the coastal region forests in northeastern Rio Grande do Sul. This physiographic region belongs to the Atlantic Forest Biome and it is characterized by swamp forests (Fig. 8 A) with permanently or temporarily flooded soils with large amounts of organic matter (Dorneles & Waechter 2004; Rambo 2005). Burrows of P. caeruleodactylus had chimneys averaging 10 cm in height and width; some individuals were captured in burrows 1 m deep, with only one opening. We found ovigerous females bearing different numbers of eggs, with a maximum of 40 eggs in the initial stage of development attached to the pleopods (see Fig. 9 F). Ecologically, P. caeruleodactylus sp. nov. resembles the strong burrowers species of the genus Parastacus, e.g. P. defossus, P. nicoleti and P. pugnax; and some other parastacid species in South America, as in the genus Virilastacus and in Australian genera Engaeus Erichson, 1846, Engaewa Riek, 1967 and Tenuibranchiurus Riek, 1951, and even in the cambarid genus Fallicambarus Hobbs, 1969. Ecological features shared by these species include deep burrow system with complex chimneys and particular morphological adaptations to the burrowing lifestyle, as reduced abdomen and reduced eyes; globose cheliped propodus with dactylus moving subvertically or obliquely; branchial chamber extended (narrow areola); and the abundance of setae along the carapace, abdomen and appendages (Horwitz & Richardson 1986). Distribution. Parastacus caeruleodactylus sp. nov. appears to have a limited distribution, since it has been found only in swamp forests in northeastern Rio Grande do Sul, in the municipalities of Morrinhos do Sul, Morro Azul, and Dom Pedro de Alc��ntara. Col��nia de S��o Pedro is an older name for the Dom Pedro de Alc��ntara municipality (Fig. 2). The main drainages where the species occurs are the Tramanda�� and Mampituba hydrographic basins, Coastal Hydrographic Region (Justus 1990). Conservation status. The EOO was estimated at 1,152 km �� based on the Otto Bacias shape level 5, indicating that this species can be categorized as Endangered (EOO less than 5,000 km ��, according to the IUCN). Subitem "a" for an EOO that is severely fragmented, and subitem "b" (iii) Continuing decline in quality of habitat, are appropriate due to the threats existing in the occurrence areas of P. caeruleodactylus. Rice cultivation may be one cause of habitat loss and fragmentation, because the swamp areas are deforested for cultivation or drained for cattle ranching and construction of human dwellings. The coastal region is largely agricultural, and the use of agrochemicals has been reported (Cabrera et al. 2008). We therefore suggest that this species be classified as ���ENDANGERED B1 ab (iii)���., Published as part of Ribeiro, Felipe Bezerra, Buckup, Ludwig, Gomes, Kelly Martinez & Araujo, Paula Beatriz, 2016, Two new species of South American freshwater crayfish genus Parastacus Huxley, 1879 (Crustacea: Decapoda: Parastacidae), pp. 301-324 in Zootaxa 4158 (3) on pages 311-317, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4158.3.1, http://zenodo.org/record/265885, {"references":["Huxley, T.

Female paratypes differ from holotype in their larger sizes, narrower rostrum, larger pleurae of abdominal somites (Fig. 3 D, E, F) and shorter chelipeds. Allometric differences between males and females, as found in other crayfishes, are possible (Reynolds 2002), but were not analyzed here. All paratypes presents both masculine and feminine gonopores in the same individual. Male paratypes also present female gonopores semiellipsoidal (average maximum diameter 1.24 �� 0.37 mm) covered by a calcified membrane. Female paratypes presents female gonopores ellipsoidal (average maximum diameter 1.88 �� 0.31 mm) covered by a thin and less calcified membrane. Male gonopores are very similar in males and females. Parastacus fluviatilis sp. nov. is morphologically similar to P. pilimanus (von Martens, 1869) and P. laevigatus in having the cutting edge of the cheliped fingers covered with long setae (Buckup & Rossi, 1980). It differs from P. pilimanus in that the latter has a longer rostrum, rows of verrucous tubercles on the dorsal surface of the dactylus of the first pereiopods/chelipeds (vs. dorsal surface without tubercles, but with rows of bristle tufts in P. fluviatilis sp. nov.), and two sharp spines on the right side of the coxa of the antennal peduncle above the nephropore (please, follow the example of previous comparison). And P. fluviatilis differs from P. laevigatus mainly in the absence of a carpal spine in chelipeds, the post orbital ridges well prominent, cervical groove strongly V-shaped and larger body sizes. Parastacus fluviatilis sp. nov. differs from all other Parastacus species in having a subtriangular telson, postorbital ridges well distinguished only in anterior portion and a strongly concave ventral surface of the lateral process of thoracic sternites 6 and 7. Habitat and ecology. Parastacus fluviatilis sp. nov. was collected at altitudes above 1,300 m in streams of the Serra Geral plateau. This physiographic region is called Campos de Cima da Serra (Fig. 5), i.e., the Brazilian Subtropical Highland Grasslands (Iganci et al. 2011). The streams and rivers in this region characteristically have stone and pebble bottoms. They are bordered by few riparian forests, composed mainly of undergrowth and shrubby vegetation (Bond-Buckup 2008). The specimens were collected with traps in first- and third-order streams, and in backwaters, with dip nets. Shallow burrows were found on the streambanks, usually with one simple opening; when present, the chimney was short (4���5 cm high) (Fig. 5 C). P. fluviatilis sp. nov. is ecologically similar to P. brasiliensis in that both inhabit streams and build shallow burrows in the streambanks (Buckup & Rossi 1980). Distribution. Parastacus fluviatilis sp. nov. appears to have an extremely limited distribution, being found only in mountain streams of northeastern Rio Grande do Sul, in S��o Jos�� dos Ausentes and Bom Jesus municipalities (Fig. 2). The main streams where the species occurs are Silveira and Marco, tributaries in the Apua��- Inhandava hydrographic basin, Uruguay Hydrographic Region (Justus 1990). Conservation status. The EOO was estimated at approximately 1,140 km �� based on the Otto Bacia shape level 6 (ANA 2006), indicating that this species can be included in the Endangered���EN category, in which the EOO is less than 5,000 km �� (IUCN). The species is categorized as EN under subitem "a": it is known to occur at no more than 5 locations, as established from its presence in the sub-basins (Silveira and Marco rivers), and local threats; and subitem "b" (iii): continuing decline in quality of habitat by the threats observed in the field, such as deforestation of riparian vegetation for cattle ranching, planting of exotic species (e.g., Pinus sp.), agriculture (e.g., sweet potato, Ipomoea) and the presence of the exotic rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum, 1972. We suggest that the conservation status of this species be classified as ENDANGERED B1 ab(iii)., Published as part of Ribeiro, Felipe Bezerra, Buckup, Ludwig, Gomes, Kelly Martinez & Araujo, Paula Beatriz, 2016, Two new species of South American freshwater crayfish genus Parastacus Huxley, 1879 (Crustacea: Decapoda: Parastacidae), pp. 301-324 in Zootaxa 4158 (3) on pages 305-311, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4158.3.1, http://zenodo.org/record/265885, {"references":["Huxley, T.

Etymology. The specific epithet veredae refers to the location where the species was found. Habitat and ecological considerations. The species was found in a freshwater underground stream, in Vereda da Palha Cave, located in the municipal district of Presidente Olegário, near Varjão de Minas city (Fig. 1 A). The cave is situated in the karst area belonging to the Bambui group, which is extended through the states of Minas Gerais, Goiás, Tocantins and Bahia. The known cave extension corresponds to 1,300 meters, with at least three levels. The lower level is characterized by the presence of a drainage formed by a stream that descends in one of the cave entrances (Fig. 1 B). No individual was observed in this drainage. Specimens were only found at the second level, which has a succession of travertines (Fig. 1 C) filled by percolating water probably from epikarst compartments, especially in dry seasons. The main resource observed in these pools consisted of organic matter. In the first sampling (13.X. 2010), dozens of individuals were observed swimming on small branches, in a very deep puddle. The water was crystal clear, allowing to observe the bottom and of the specimens. On the same visit, several couples were found in pre-copulatory behavior. On a subsequent visit to the cave (31.I. 2011), only one specimen was found. On the occasion, the water from the travertines was quite turbid, indicating that the habitat changes over the year, not only receiving waters from the epikarst compartments. The absence of individuals in this occasion might indicate that the organisms are capable of migrating to other underground compartments, thus avoiding turbid waters. Remarks. Hyalella veredae represents the first troglobitic species described for the state of Minas Gerais, south-eastern Brazil. H. veredae resembles H. spelaea due to the presence of reduced eyes, while in H. caeca, H. imbya, H. anophthalma and H. muerta the eyes are absent. However, a small part of the population (4.4 %) did not present eyes. Culver et al. (1995) described a similar process in cave populations of Gammarus minus Say, 1818 that had different degrees of eyes reduction and different sizes of the antennae. These authors suggest that intraspecific variation may be consequence of time and degree of isolation of each population in underground environments. In addition to the eyes, H. veredae shows different antenna sizes, in which antenna 1 and 2 are subequal in length, The shape of male gnathopod 2 of H. veredae is similar to H. spelaea, H. anophthalma and H. muerta, showing irregular palm, differing from H. caeca and H. imbya, both having a smooth palm. The palm inclination of male gnathopod 2 of H. veredae is similar to H. imbya, both showing palm strongly inclined. The presence of one curved seta in uropod 1 inner ramus is similar to H. imbya. Moreover, it was observed that the number of serrate setae on propodus gnathopod and on uropod 3 is different in H. veredae in comparison to other troglobitic species.
