    Morphology disentangles the systematics of a ubiquitous but elusive meiofaunal group (Kinorhyncha: Pycnophyidae)
    (Cladistics, 2016) Sánchez Santos, Nuria; Yamasaki, Hiroshi; Pardos Martínez, Fernando; Sorensen, Martin V.; Martínez, Alejandro
    Kinorhyncha is a group of benthic, microscopic animals distributed worldwide in marine sediments. The phylum is divided into two classes, Cyclorhagida and Allomalorhagida, congruent with the two major clades recovered in recent phylogenetic analyses. Allomalorhagida accommodates more than one-third of the described species, most of them assigned to the family Pycnophyidae. All previous phylogenetic analyses of the phylum recovered the two genera within Pycnophyidae, Pycnophyes and Kinorhynchus, as paraphyletic and polyphyletic. A major problem in these studies was the lack of molecular data of most pycnophyids, due to the limited and highly localized distribution of most species, often in the Arctic and the deep-sea. We here overcame the problem by adding a morphological partition with data for 79 Pycnophyidae species, 15 of them also represented by molecular data. Model-based analyses yielded seven clades, which each was supported by several morphological apomorphies. Accordingly, Kinorhynchus is synonymized with Pycnophyes and six new genera are described for the remaining recovered clades: Leiocanthus gen. nov., Cristaphyes gen. nov., Higginsium gen. nov., Krakenella gen. nov., Setaphyes gen. nov. and Fujuriphyes gen. nov.

    Echinoderes dujardinii Claparède, 1863 (Kinorhyncha, Cyclorhagida): a new record for the kinorhynch fauna of Turkey
    (Ecologica Montenegrina, 2016) Ürkmez, Derya; Pardos Martínez, Fernando; Sezguin, Murat; Ersoy Karaçuha, Melek; Öksüz, İbrahim
    Meiobenthic samplings conducted in the framework of a meiobenthos project in the subtidal coastal waters of Sinop Bay, Southern Black Sea revealed the first report of the kinorhynch Echinoderes dujardinii for the marine fauna of Turkey.

    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
    (Zoologischer Anzeiger - A Journal of Comparative Zoology, 2016) Pardos Martínez, Fernando; Sánchez Santos, Eva; Herranz, María
    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.
