Managing editor: I.M. KerzhnerA.W. Jankowski. 1997. Grainis gen. n. allied to Ruthella, a symbiont of endemic grammarid in Lake Baikal (Ciliophora: Peritricha). Zoosystematica Rossica, 6(1/2): 1–5. Abstract A new genus of freshwater peritrichs inhabiting some Baikalian amphipods, Grainis gen. n. with the single species G. dizoon sp. n., is described. The large thick-walled shell of this peritrich, irregularly folded and striated, is inhabited by two zooids. One of them, the primont, has a long thick unbranched myoneme inside a wide exostyle that fixes the shell to the host surface, the stem of the pleopods; this myoneme reaches the basodics. The other zooid has its own short conical myoneme merged into the upper portion of the basostyle. The related genus Ruthiella, known only from the mouthparts of some amphipods in Germany, has the large shell inhabited by numerous zooids, up to 20 in one shell, each with its own myoneme that never reaches the basodisc. Grainis and Ruthiella possibly are relicts of a group of symbiotic rovinjellid peritrichs that inhabited widely distributed preglacial eurasiatic hosts. |

N.V. Vyshkvartzeva & I.J. Prusova. 1997. A new calanoid copepod, Scaphocalanus somaliensis from the western Arabian Sea (Copepoda: Scolecitrichidae). Zoosystematica Rossica, 6(1/2): 33–36. Abstract Scaphocalanus somaliensis sp. n. from the Somalia current is described. The new species is very similar to S. brevirostris Park, 1970, but clearly distinguished by the setation of the maxillule and some details of the 5th pair of legs (in the new species, inner seta of P5 twice as long as the segment itself and 1.8 times longer than terminal seta, inner seta with 18-23 setules; in S. brevirostris, 5 and 3 times longer respectively and inner seta with about 12 setules). The new species is also related to S. pseudobrevirostris Schulz, 1987, but can be easily distinguished from it by the large distal vesicle of spermatheca, 3 inner setae on the endopod of the 1st pair of swimming legs (2 in S. pseudobrevirostris), different relative length and setation of inner and apical setae of the 5th pair of legs, and by longer outer spine of Re 1P2. |
