    Two sides of a coin: the phylum Kinorhyncha in Panama. II) Pacific Panama
    (Zoologischer Anzeiger - A Journal of Comparative Zoology, 2016) Pardos Martínez, Fernando; Herranz, María; Sánchez Santos, Eva
    Meiofaunal sampling was carried out in 2011 in the Pacific coast of Panama, West of Panama City and Las Perlas Archipielago. No kinorhynch species have previously been reported from the area. Seven species were found, four of them new to science: Echinoderes belenae sp. nov., Echinoderes muricatus sp. nov., Echinoderes strii sp. nov., and Cristaphyes harrisoni sp. nov. In addition, Echinoderes intermedius and Pycnophyes alexandroi, recently described from the Caribbean coast, are also reported, as well as an unidentified species of Antygomonas. With the present results, the kinorhynch fauna of Panama reaches 23 species; furthermore, the distribution of species at both sides of Panama is discussed biogeographically.

    Two sides of a coin: The phylum Kinorhyncha in Panama. I) Caribbean Panama

    Sampling for meiofauna was carried out in 2010 in Bocas del Toro, Northwest Caribbean Panama, as the first part of a study along Caribbean and Pacific coasts of Panama. Nine kinorhynch species were known previously from the area, some of them being confirmed in the present contribution plus several new citations. In addition, four species new to science are described, Echinoderes rociae sp. nov., Echinoderes orestauri sp. nov., Cristaphyes panamensis sp. nov. and Pycnophyes alexandroi sp. nov. Furthermore, and based on the present material, we redescribe Echinoderes intermedius providing new and more detailed morphological information. The presence of Echinoderes truncatus in the area, reported previously, is also discussed. Hence, an updated list of the kinorhynch fauna for the Caribbean Sea is provided, reaching 33 species.
