We describe a new pycnogonid species,Pantopipetta lenissp. nov., collected from 141-152 m depth in southern Japan, North Pacific Ocean.Pantopipetta lenisclosely resemblesPantopipetta auxiliataandPantopipetta oculatain having auxiliary claws on the legs, but differs from them in lacking dorsodistal tubercles on the lateral processes, having the first short distal article of palp shorter than combined length of the other three short distal articles, having one slight dorsal tubercle on the coxa 1 of legs, having a short dorsal tubercle on the coxa 3 of legs, and lacking a long dorsodistal tubercle on the femur of legs. The palp base (the short article-like structure proximal to the longest palp article) inP. lenisis articulated with the cephalon, i.e. it is actually an article. Although the palp base has been regarded as a lateral process of the cephalon, it is the first article of the palp inP. lenis.

We describe Zeuxo ezoensis sp. nov. from Hokkaido, Japan. This species closely resembles Z. phytalensis, Z. shitipingensis and Z. turkensis in having the pleopodal endopod with one inner plumose seta, maxillipedal palp article 4 with one outer simple seta, the left mandible with a wide, denticulate lacinia mobilis and one bifurcate accessory seta, and the right mandible with a peg-like lacinia mobilis and two accessory setae. It differs from them in having (1) antennal article 6 longer than wide, (2) the distal region of the maxillipedal endite with four spiniform setae and two circumplumose setae, (3) maxillipedal palp article 2 with one outer simple seta, (4) the chelipedal carpus with three or four dorsodistal simple setae, (5) the chelipedal dactylus with one inner simple seta, (6) the pereopod-1 basis with one or two ventrodistal simple setae, (7) the pereopod-1 carpus with one ventrodistal simple seta, and (8) the uropod with four or five articles (basal article plus three or four ramus articles). Partial nucleotide sequences for the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene (655 nt) from Z. ezoensis specimens from four localities in Hokkaido showed Kimura 2-parameter (K2P) divergences of 0–0.5% and 0.6–1.5% within and between populations, respectively. Based on the COI data, we examined the phylogenetic position of Z. ezoensis within Zeuxo. Six specimens used for morphological observations and 10 specimens used for COI sequencing showed a similar dorsal pigmentation pattern on carapace. We briefly discuss the validity of using this pattern as a diagnostic character in Zeuxo taxonomy.

We describe Paradoxapseudes shimojiensis sp. nov. from a submarine limestone cave at Shimoji-jima Island, Ryukyu Islands, southwestern Japan. This species resembles five species (P. basibidens, P. bassoprofundo, P. bermudeus, P. edgari, and P. heroae, among 17 congeners) that bear a long pleotelson, but differs from them in having (i) a naked antennal article 1, (ii) the maxillipedal basis with one inner distal plumose seta, (iii) the chelipedal basis with one dorsodistal and one ventro-subproximal simple setae, (iv) the pereopod-1 basis with four dorsal simple setae longer than the width of the pereopod-1 basis, but without ventrodistal spiniform setae, (v) the pereopod-1 merus with three mid-inner ventral simple setae, and (vi) the pleopodal protopod with two inner plumose setae. We determined partial nucleotide sequences for the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) and 18S rRNA (18S) genes in P. shimojiensis for future use in DNA barcoding and phylogeny. Paradoxapseudes shimojiensis has serial ridges on the inner surfaces of the left and right chelipedal bases that quite resemble the stridulatory organs in harvestmen (Opiliones); by analogy, we speculate that these ridges may be stridulatory sound-producing organs. Two specimens had both a fully-developed marsupium and genital cone, suggesting that P. shimojiensis is simultaneously hermaphroditic.
