Colossendeis species (Pycnogonida: Colossendeidae) collected during the Italica XIX cruise to Victoria Land (Antarctica), with remarks on some taxonomic characters of the ovigers

The pycnogonid fauna of the genus Colossendeis collected during the Italica XIX cruise to Victoria Land (Ross Sea, Antarctica) was studied. A total of 19 specimens of six species were collected: Colossendeis australis (6), C. wilsoni (3), C. scotti (2), C. robusta (3), C. lilliei (2) and C. megalony...

description The pycnogonid fauna of the genus Colossendeis collected during the Italica XIX cruise to Victoria Land (Ross Sea, Antarctica) was studied. A total of 19 specimens of six species were collected: Colossendeis australis (6), C. wilsoni (3), C. scotti (2), C. robusta (3), C. lilliei (2) and C. megalonyx (3). In the present contribution the observed variability of all collected Colossendeis species is described and illustrated. The previously synonymised C. lilliei is considered a different species from C. robusta. The observations made in this study lead us to discuss a controversy about the total number of oviger segments in this genus. Despite the currently established 10-segmented status, a short basal element is here considered to be a possible 11th segment. A detailed SEM study of the last oviger segment is carried out in all collected species, showing some intraspecific and the interspecific variability in the structures examined (shape and number of rows of compound spines, morphology of terminal claw, etc.). Finally, we discuss the taxonomic value of these characters of the last strigilis segment for distinguishing the Colossendeis species, and their possible utility in establishing internal phylogenetic relationships in future contributions. En este trabajo se estudia la fauna de picnogónidos pertenecientes al género Colossendeis recogidos en la campaña Italica XIX, realizada en la costa de Tierra Victoria (mar de Ross, Antártida). En total se capturaron 19 ejemplares, pertenecientes a seis especies: Colossendeis australis (6), C. Wilson (3), C. scouti (2), C. robusta (3), C. lilliei (2) y C. megalonyx (3). En el presente trabajo se describe e ilustra la variabilidad morfológica observada en cada una de ellas. Se considera C. lilliei como especie distinta de C. robusta, previamente sinonimizadas. Las observaciones llevadas a cabo en este estudio nos permiten abordar la controversia sobre el número total de segmentos del ovígero en este género. A pesar del estado 10-segmentado actualmente considerado, la presencias de un corto elemento basal no hace considerar la posibilidad de un onceavo segmento. Se realiza un estudio detallado del último segmento del ovígero al MEB de todas las especies capturadas, se muestra la variabilidad intraespecífica observada, y por otro lado la variabilidad en las estructuras (forma y número de líneas de las espinas compuestas, morfología del garfio terminal, etc.) entre las especies estudiadas. Finalmente, discutimos el valor taxonómico de estos caracteres provenientes del último segmento del strigilis para separar las especies de este género, y su posible utilidad para establecer relaciones filogenéticas internas en futuros estudios.
