Abstract

A new species of the often-cryptic genus Polycheria (Crustacea; Amphipoda) was discovered living in a small specimen of the sponge, Homaxinella erecta (Brøndsted, 1924) (Demospongiae, Suberitida, Suberitidae), in Spirits Bay, on the northern tip of the North Island of New Zealand. Polycheria spongoteras sp. nov. is described using integrative techniques (morphologically, molecularly and ecologically), with discussions on the New Zealand records of the genus and related taxa. The host sponge is redescribed and placed in the Spirits Bay context. [Zooban URL: urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:FB60B77B-6B98-4102-A41F-D980B03204EB].

摘要

在新西兰北岛北端的斯皮里茨湾，人们在一种小型海绵直立霍氏海绵（Homaxinella erecta，布伦兹泰德，1924年）（寻常海绵纲，网角海绵目，网角海绵科）中发现了一种通常隐秘的多肢虾属（甲壳纲；端足目）新物种。本文采用综合技术（形态学、分子学和生态学）对新物种海绵栖多肢虾（Polycheria spongoteras sp. nov.）进行了描述，并讨论了该属及相关分类群在新西兰的记录情况。同时对宿主海绵进行了重新描述，并将其置于斯皮里茨湾的环境背景中。[动物学数据库网址：urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:FB60B77B-6B98-4102-A41F-D980B03204EB]
