New genus, three new species and new records of Herpyllobiidae Hansen, 1892 (Crustacea, Copepoda) parasites of polychaetes from Antarctica

During the Antarctic Polarstern cruises ANT XIX/3 (ANDEEP-I), XIX/5 (LAMPOS), and XXI/2 (BENDEX) new material of symbiotic copepods associated with polynoid polychaetes was collected. Here the authors present results for the highly modified family Herpyllobiidae Hansen, 1892. New records of Herpyllo...

Description
Summary:During the Antarctic Polarstern cruises ANT XIX/3 (ANDEEP-I), XIX/5 (LAMPOS), and XXI/2 (BENDEX) new material of symbiotic copepods associated with polynoid polychaetes was collected. Here the authors present results for the highly modified family Herpyllobiidae Hansen, 1892. New records of Herpyllobius antarcticus Vanhöffen, 1913 and Herpyllobius polarsterni López-González, Bresciani and Conradi, 2000 are provided from the eastern Weddell Sea and Bouvet Island respectively. A new species of the genus Eurysilenium Sars, 1870, E. australis, is described from specimens collected at the eastern Weddell Sea. A new genus, Gottoniella gen. nov., is proposed to include two species, G. antarctica sp. nov. and G. andeepi sp. nov., described from material collected from the Weddell Sea and Scotia Arc. Durante los cruceros antárticos Polarstern ANT XIX/3 (ANDEEP-I), XIX/5 (LAMPOS), y XXI/2 (BENDEX) se recolectó nuevo material de copépodos simbiontes asociados a poliquetos polinoidos. En este trabajo, los autores presentan los resultados correspondientes a la familia de copépodos altamente transformados Herpyllobiidae Hansen, 1892. Se recogen nuevas citas de Herpyllobius antarcticus Vanhöffen, 1913 y de Herpyllobius polarsterni López-González, Bresciani y Conradi, 2000 para el mar de Weddell oriental e isla Bouvet, respectivamente. Se describe e ilustra una nueva especie del género Eurysilenium, E. australis sp. nov., a partir de especímenes encontrados en el mar de Weddell oriental. Se propone un nuevo género, Gottoniella gen nov., para incluir dos nuevas especies, G. antarctica sp. nov. y G. andeepi sp. nov., descritas a partir de ejemplares procedentes del mar de Weddell y del Arco de Escocia.
