A giant phyllosoma larva, assigned to the final stage, was collected from off Peru. This specimen was determined to be Projasus bahamondei George, 1976 by DNA barcoding, and morphological description was given for the first time in the genus Projasus George and Grindley, 1964. The present phyllosoma was characteristic of having very wide cephalic shield (about 2.3 times of thorax width), median rostrum, eminent setose exopods on the second and third maxillipeds, and five stout spines on basial endite of maxillule. Projasus phyllosoma has morphological characteristics of both ‘Silentes’ and ‘Stridentes’ groups in the family Palinuridae.

Lithodoid and paguroid crabs are morphologically assigned to the superfamilies Lithodoidea and Paguroidea, respectively. Molecular analyses, however, have revealed closer genetic proximity of the lithodoid crabs to the family Paguridae than to other families of Paguroidea, provoking a long debate. We investigated the length and nucleotide sequence variation of the nuclear ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) in lithodoid and paguroid species. Uniquely short ITS1s (215–253 bp) were observed in seven lithodoid species. In contrast, ITS1 length varied considerably in 13 paguroid species belonging to the families Coenobitidae, Diogenidae, and Paguridae. Short-to-long ITS1s (238–1090 bp) were observed in five species of the family Paguridae, and medium to long ITS1s (573–1166 bp) were observed in eight species of the families Coenobitidae and Diogenidae. Considerably different size ITS1s coexisted in individual paguroid species. Nucleotide sequence analysis indicated that the short ITS1s observed in the family Paguridae were descendants of longer ITS1s and were homologous to the short ITS1 of lithodoid species. ITS1 sequences of the families Coenobitidae and Diogenidae shared no nucleotide elements with lithodoid and pagurid species. These molecular signals indicate that the short ITS1 in pagurid lineage was passed on to lithodoid lineage, strongly supporting the “hermit-to-king” crab hypothesis.

A morphological description is given for the postlarval specimen of the polychelid lobster, Pentacheles laevis, collected from Suruga Bay, on the Pacific coast of Japan. The specimen has been previously identified using the DNA barcoding method. Diagnostic larval characters distinguishing the previously known postlarvae in three genera, Pentacheles, Stereomastis, and Polycheles, are also noted.

A morphological description of the postlarval specimen of the polychelid lobster Stereomastis panglao Ahyong & Chan, 2008, collected from Suruga Bay, on the Pacific coast of Japan, and at depths of 1,305–1,565 m, was given for the first time. Larval characteristics of the previously known polychelid postlarvae and the distribution range of S. panglao were also noted.

Two specimens (124.0-148.6mm standard length) of a scorpionfish, Idiastion pacificum Ishida and Amaoka, 1992, were collected from the central North Pacific, representing the first record of the species from this area. This finding extends the distributional range of Idiastion pacificum, which was previously known only from the Kyushu-Palau Ridge, western North Pacific. This study provides new morphological data and a color photograph of I. pacificum based on these two additional specimens, with a comparison to Idiastion kyphos Eschmeyer, 1965.

タラ科3種(スケトウダラ,マダラ,コマイ)の成魚の筋肉から抽出した粗DNAを用いPCR法にて増幅したシトクロームb領域の塩基配列を決定した。塩基配列からDpnII,HaeIII, RsaIおよびTaqIの4種類の制限酵素により,タラ科3種の種判別ができることが明らかになった。また,種特異的なプライマーを設計して,増幅した断片の長さの違いで3種を識別する方法を確立した。これらの手法により,形態的な差異だけでは困難なタラ科仔稚魚の種判別が可能になった。Mitochondrial DNA sequences of the cytochrome b gene (1161bp) were obtained from three gadoid species (Theragra chalcogramma, Gadus macrocephalus, and Eleginus gracilis) near Hokkaido, Japan. Four restriction enzymes (DpnII, HaeIII, RsaI and TaqI) were diagnostic to identify these three species. Species specific internal primers were designed based upon the characteristic nucleotide substitutions in each species, which allowed discrimination among these three species by amplicon size.
