Description of holotype female (CIEPE001101-1) (Figure 7 A-I) Length 5.97 mm, maximal width 4.09 mm, head length 0.94 mm, head width 1.24 mm. Head oval, with deep bilobate anterior edge and curved posterior edge, welldeveloped frontal lamina extending beyond sides of the head (Figure 7A). Eyes absent. First and second antennae of three and five articles, respectively, terminal setae not evident (Figure 7C). Maxilliped triangular, with short curved stout palp (Figure 7D). Barbula with two pairs of lateral projections on each side, outer pair with slightly digitate edge, but inner projections smooth. (Figure 7E). Pereon broadest across fourth pereomere (Figure 7A). Coxal plates welldeveloped on long side of all pereomeres, margins entire. Coxal plates on short side of first two pereomeres also well-developed, but those on other pereomeres rudimentary. Dorsolateral bosses on first five pereomeres. Brood pouch wide open (Figure 7B). First oostegite (Figure 7F, G) plates of nearly equal length, internal ridge bearing five to eight small tubercules, posterolateral point broadly triangular, pointing posteriorly, and with posterior edge curved. Pereopods larger posterior (Figure 7H, I), surface of the carpi and meri smooth, bases of all pereopods produced into lobes. Pleon of six pleomeres, first five bearing tubercular biramous pleopods and rudimentary lateral plates. Pleopods are slender and do not extend beyond edges of lateral plates, so they are not visible in dorsal view (Figure 7B). Fifth pleomere widely median separated, and small sixth pleomeres can be seen from dorsal view (Figure 7A). Biramous uropods tuberculate. Exopodites of uropods different endopodites, the former larger, sharp terminal, and slender, but the latter short, cylindrical. Uropods are visible dorsally (Figure 7B). Description of allotype male (CIEPE001101-2) (Figures 7J, K, 8) Length 1.99 mm, maximal width across pereonite 5, 0.83 mm, head width 0.50 mm, pleonal length 0.42 mm. All pereomeres distinct, pleon fused (Figures 7J, K, 8). Head (Figure 7J) trapezoidal, its posterior edge straight. Black eyes near posterolateral corners of head (Figure 7J). First and second antennae (Figure 8A) of three and four articles respectively, setae not evident. Pereomeres almost equally wide, lacking midventral projections (Figures 7J, 8A). Pereomeres 2 and 4 with pigment on surface (Figure 7J). First three pereopods (Figure 8B) with longer dactyli and smaller carpi than last four pereopods (Figure 8C). All propodi, carpi and meri with setae on their ventral surface (Figure 8B, C). Pleon fused, median part with pigment. Anal cone visible in dorsal view (Figure 7K). Variations Immature females have black eyes, flatter bodies and coxal plates on the short sides of all pereomeres; other characters agree with the holotype. Etymology The specific name, the Greek adjective diatropos, refers to uropods of holotype female with remarkable diverse rami. Remarks The new species, P. diatropa, is most similar to P. japonica (Thielemann 1910). The female of P. diatropa differs from that of P. japonica in longer body shape, uropods with remarkable different rami, cylindrical endopodite and longer and sharp exopodite; pleopods not extending beyond the margin of pleon, cannot be seen from the dorsal view; a simple barbula whose inner projections are almost smooth, oostegite 1 with almost smooth inner ridge bearing only small tubercules, whereas in P. japonica, almost round body shape, flake shape uropods with similar endopodite and exopodite; pleopods usually extending beyond the margin of pleon; heavy tubercular digitate projections on each side of the barbula; having long and thick tubercules on the inner ridge of oostegite 1., Published as part of An, Jianmei, Markham, John C. & Li, Xinzheng, 2015, A review of the genus Parapenaeon Richardson, 1904 (Crustacea: Isopoda: Bopyridae: Orbioninae), with description of three new species from China, pp. 2527-2557 in Journal of Natural History 49 (41) on pages 2545-2548, DOI: 10.1080/00222933.2015.1023227, http://zenodo.org/record/4000793, {"references":["Thielemann M. 1910.

Description of holotype female (CIEPE403901-1) (Figure 6A–J) Length 7.72 mm, maximal width 5.69 mm, head length 1.47 mm, head width 1.64 mm (Figure 6A, B). Head oval, with well-developed frontal lamina. Eyes absent (Figure 6A). First antenna of three articles, second antenna of five articles, both non-setose. Maxilliped triangular, with curved stout palp (Figure 6C). Barbula with one digitate lateral projection on each side and single smooth projection near centre (Figure 6D). Pereon (Figure 6A) broadest across pereomere 3. Pereomeres 2–5 fused medially. Coxal plates well-developed on long side of each pereomere, margins of the first two coxal plates slightly dentate. Coxal plates well developed on short sides of first two pereomeres also, but others rudimentary. Round dorsolateral bosses on first five pereomeres. Brood pouch (Figure 6B) opens medially. First oostegite (Figure 6E, F) with both plates nearly equally long, internal ridge bearing many digitate projections, posterolateral point round, with straight posterior edge. Pereopods (Figure 6G, H) larger posteriorly, carpi and meri smooth, bases of all pereopods produced into lobes. Pleon of six pleomeres, first five bearing lateral plates and biramous pleopods. Surface of first five lateral plates tuberculate. Pleopods and uropods similarly tubercular (Figure 6I). Sixth pleomeres without lateral plates, but with biramous uropods (Figure 6J). Description of allotype male (CIEPE403901-2) (Figure 6K–O) Length 2.21 mm, maximal width across pereonite 4, 1.04 mm, head width 0.55 mm, pleonal length 0.45 mm. Head elliptical with curved posterior edge (Figure 6K). Eyes absent. First antenna of three articles, with setae on distal article; second antenna of five articles, terminal two or three articles setose (Figure 6M). Pereomeres almost equally wide, lacking midventral projections (Figure 6L). All pereopods of similar size, first three pereopods with much larger dactyli and smaller carpi (Figure 6L). Pleon fused and oval, without midventral projections, lacking pleopods and uropods (Figure 6K, L). Variations Paratype females differ little from the holotype. An immature female (CIEPE405101) has dentate coxal plates on first three pereomeres on long sides, those on short sides being smaller than those on long sides (Figure 6N, O). Slender pleopods extend beyond the lateral plates, and are visible in dorsal view. Etymology The specific name, calculosa a Latin adjective meaning ‘pebbly’, refers to the surfaces of the pleopods of the holotype female, which are thickly tuberculated in a pattern reminiscent of small stones or pebbles. Remarks The female of P. calculosa, as in other species of the genus Parapenaeon, has six pleomeres, the first five bearing lateral plates. The male has a pleon fused and lacking appendages, as is typical for Parapenaeon. The new species is most similar to P. japonica (Thielemann 1910). The new species differs from P. japonica in the following. (1) The new species has a straight posterior edge of the first oostegite, but all specimens of P. japonica have curved posterior edge of the first oostegite. (2) Sixth pleomeres of the new species can be seen from dorsal view (Figure 6A, J), but in P. japonica only five pleomeres can be seen, sixth pleomere usually hidden under the fifth pleomere (Figures 1A, 2A, 3A). (3) The new species with tubercles on the surface of the lateral plates, and P. japonica with smooth lateral plates. (4) The new species barbula with one pairs of digitate projections, and the barbula of P. japonica with two pairs of digitate projections. (5) Male of the new species with smooth pleon, without anal cone or other tubercles, and P. japonica with distinct anal cone, some specimens with midventral tubercular on the pleon (Figure 3J).

Remarks Parapenaeon japonica is a very widespread species, and was reported from the Red Sea through the Indian Ocean past Pakistan and India to Japan, the Philippines and China, including Hong Kong. This species has been thoroughly described and illustrated, and some aspects of its biology have been studied (Hiraiwa 1933, 1934, 1936). Shiino (1950) transferred it to the genus Apopenaeon as A. japonicum because its female has six pleomeres. Bourdon (1979a) later transferred this species to Parapenaeon as P. japonicum. In recording it from Indonesia, the Philippines and near Madagascar, Markham (1994) diagnosed its characters; the most distinctive feature of the female is that its short side bears coxal plates on only the first two pereomeres. Kazmi and Tirmizi (1994) reported P. japonica from Pakistan but illustrated the female with coxal plates on both sides of all pereomeres; therefore they actually had Parapenaeon expansa (discussed below) instead. The present specimens display a moderate amount of morphological variation. Although a female (Figure 1) infesting M. toloensis Hall conforms well to the description of those from Hong Kong (Markham 1982), its accompanying male (Figure 1M, N) is more similar to that from Madagascar (Bourdon 1979a: fig. 6m). Among parasites (Figure 2) of M. stridulans, the posterior margin of the first oostegite (Figure 2F, G) of one female is unusual, and its male (Figure 2H) has black eyes. A female (Figure 3A–H) infesting M. barbata (de Haan) has many small differences, internal ridge of oostegite 1 simple and palp stout and straight. At the same time, the pleon of its male has a large midventral tubercule (Figure 3J). In another male (Figure 3N), the pleon is separated into three pleomeres rather than being unsegmented. The host species M. toloensis, M. dura, M. mogiensis and M. novaeguineae have never before been reported to bear bopyrid parasites, whereas M. stridulans have been reported to bear Epipenaeon ingens Nobili, 1906 and Orbione thielemanni Nierstrasz and Brender à Brandis, 1931. With the addition of the new host records, P. japonica is now known to infest 21 different penaeoid host species, the most for any orbionine bopyrid species. It is also the most widespread geographically of any orbionine species., Published as part of An, Jianmei, Markham, John C. & Li, Xinzheng, 2015, A review of the genus Parapenaeon Richardson, 1904 (Crustacea: Isopoda: Bopyridae: Orbioninae), with description of three new species from China, pp. 2527-2557 in Journal of Natural History 49 (41) on pages 2530-2538, DOI: 10.1080/00222933.2015.1023227, http://zenodo.org/record/4000793, {"references":["Thielemann M. 1910.

Remarks Parapenaeon expansa has been found across the Indian Ocean and on the Pacific side of Australia, but this is the first published record of its occurrence in China. It has previously been found infesting nine species of hosts; those reported here are both new records for any bopyrid parasite. The specimens from Pakistan recorded by Kazmi and Tirmizi (1994) as P. japonica we believe were misidentified specimens of P. expansa and are cited in our synonymies accordingly above. The present specimens (Figures 4, 5) conform well to the descriptions of Bourdon (1979a) and Kazmi and Tirmizi (1994). Characters of some females that differ from previous records are the inner projection of the barbula (Figure 4E) being much smaller than the outer one, and the maxilliped palp being slightly segmented. In one male specimen (Figure 5H, I) the margin of the pleon is dentate and obscurely segmented in ventral view. An (2006) examined these specimens and recorded two Parapenaeon species (P. expansus and P. monolioncus sp. nov.) in her doctoral dissertation. Now we consider all these materials to represent P. expansa, with the name P. monolioncus being invalid because of its presentation in an unpublished dissertation (not a published work in the sense of the ICZN); it is introduced here in synonymy., Published as part of An, Jianmei, Markham, John C. & Li, Xinzheng, 2015, A review of the genus Parapenaeon Richardson, 1904 (Crustacea: Isopoda: Bopyridae: Orbioninae), with description of three new species from China, pp. 2527-2557 in Journal of Natural History 49 (41) on pages 2538-2541, DOI: 10.1080/00222933.2015.1023227, http://zenodo.org/record/4000793, {"references":["Bourdon R. 1979 a.

Parionella Nierstrasz & Brender à Brandis, 1923 Remarks. Bourdon (1976 a: 219) stated that the type species of Parionella Nierstrasz & Brender à Brandis, 1923 was P. richardsonae Nierstrasz & Brender à Brandis, 1923. However, Nierstrasz & Brender à Brandis (1923) described two species (P. richardsonae and P. elegans Nierstrasz & Brender à Brandis, 1923) in their new genus without indication of which was the type species. Therefore, the type species of Parionella was selected as P. richardsonae by the subsequent designation of Bourdon (1976 a).

Hesse (1876) did not name this species in the usual sense of the concept in that he merely provided a Latin translation of the French vernacular phrase ���pleurocrypte de porcellane longicorne��� (the Pleurocrypta of Porcellana longicornis), although he did include the notation of ���Nobis��� after the Latin text. Therefore, in accordance with ICZN Article 11.9.5, the species name cannot be cited as either ��� porcellanae ��� or ��� longicornis ���, but rather must bear the unwieldy form of ��� porcellanaelongicornis,��� as the name is based on that of the host species. Giard & Bonnier (1887 b) cited Hesse (1876, p. 202 footnote) in the context of another species discussed in that paper to lament the publication of Hesse���s entire series, Crustaces rares ou nouveaux des c��tes de France, which they considered to be of substandard quality. Interestingly, Giard & Bonnier (1887 b) did not place the blame for the ���d��plorable g��chis introduit dans la Carcinologie��� on Hesse, but rather on the professors of La Sorbonne and the Museum who allowed these ���plus bizarres ��lucubatrions��� to be published in their journals. It should be noted that Hesse���s first initial is given as ���M.��� in his publications, but that this stood for ���Monsieur���, as his given name was Charles Eug��ne Hesse (see Delamare Deboutteville 1965) and he was an amateur zoologist. For reasons unexplained, he is most often cited in copepod publications (e.g., ��zdikmen 2008) as ���E. Hesse��� (a usage which never appeared in any of his papers). Hesse should be cited in bibliographies as ���Hesse, [C. E.]���, as this is the most accurate form., Published as part of Boyko, Christopher B., Williams, Jason D. & Markham, John C., 2012, Recent and fossil Isopoda Bopyridae parasitic on squat lobsters and porcelain crabs (Crustacea: Anomura: Chirostyloidea and Galatheoidea), with notes on nomenclature and biogeography, pp. 1-35 in Zootaxa 3150 on pages 26-27, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.208724, {"references":["Giard, A. & Bonnier, J.

Pleurocrypta strigosa Bourdon, 1968 Pleurocrypta galatheae (sic): Lo Bianco, 1888: 409 (not Pleurocrypta galateae Hesse, 1865).

Pleurocrypta strigosa Codreanu, Codreanu & Pike in Codreanu, 1968: 611 ���612 (new synonymy). Remarks. Giard & Bonnier (1890) noted that the record of Pleurocrypta galatheae (sic) from a Galathea strigosa (Linnaeus, 1761) collected off Naples, Italy as reported by Lo Bianco (1888) belonged instead to a new species they named Pleurocrypta strigosa. Unfortunately, they provided no description or illustrations for the species, rendering a nomen nudum that has been subsequently repeated by several authors (see synonymy list above). Both Bourdon (1968) and Codreanu, Codreanu & Pike in Codreanu (1968) coincidentally made the name available in 1968, describing (and in Bourdon���s case, also figuring) the species from the same host taxon in France (Bourdon 1968) and Spain (Bourdon 1968, Codreanu 1968). There is no additional evidence to specify the date of publication of Bourdon (1968) or of Codreanu (1968) beyond the year given in the papers themselves (Service des Publications scientifiques, Mus��um national d'Histoire naturelle, pers. comm,; Iorgu Petrescu, pers. comm.), so their date of publication must be accepted as 31 Dec 1968 (fide ICZN Article 21.3.2). As both the Pleurocrypta strigosa of Bourdon (1968) and Codreanu, Codreanu & Pike in Codreanu (1968) are synonymous as well as homonymous, we select the taxon as described by Bourdon to be the senior synonym because his description is far superior and accompanied by illustrations of the species., Published as part of Boyko, Christopher B., Williams, Jason D. & Markham, John C., 2012, Recent and fossil Isopoda Bopyridae parasitic on squat lobsters and porcelain crabs (Crustacea: Anomura: Chirostyloidea and Galatheoidea), with notes on nomenclature and biogeography, pp. 1-35 in Zootaxa 3150 on page 27, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.208724, {"references":["Bourdon, R.
