Abstract

Examination of substrata from the mesophotic reefs of Mona Island, Puerto Rico yielded 3 new species of cumaceans, all from the family Nannastacidae: Cumella achimae sp. nov., C. victoriae sp. nov. and Nannastacus craciuni sp. nov. The 3 new species bring the total of new cumacean taxa described from the mesophotic reefs of US Caribbean to 9, highlighting the potential of mesophotic reefs as a biodiversity hotspot. For the first time we report the genus Nannastacus from the Caribbean Sea.

摘要

对来自波多黎各莫纳岛中光层珊瑚礁的底层样本进行检查后，发现了3种新的涟虫，均属于Nannastacidae科：新种阿希玛涟虫（Cumella achimae sp. nov.）、新种维多利亚涟虫（C. victoriae sp. nov.）和新种克拉西尼南纳涟虫（Nannastacus craciuni sp. nov.）。这3个新物种使从美国加勒比海的中光层珊瑚礁描述的新涟虫类群总数达到9个，凸显了中光层珊瑚礁作为生物多样性热点地区的潜力。我们首次报告了来自加勒比海的南纳涟虫属。
