| Abstract: | Purpose: Diexanthema copepods are ectoparasites on deep-sea isopods. This genus currently contains six species, all reported from the North Atlantic. Our study describes a new species of Diexanthema found on isopods from 7184 to 7186 m depth in the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench, northwestern Pacific.
Methods: We observed the copepod's morphology, made camera-lucida drawings, and compared our species with congeners. We determined partial sequences for its 16S rRNA and 18S rRNA genes and constructed an 18S-based maximum-likelihood copepod tree to place it phylogenetically. We identified the host isopod species through morphology and cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI, cox1) and 18S sequences.
Results/conclusion: We described the copepod as Diexanthema hakuhomaruae sp. nov. and identified its host as Eugerdella cf. kurabyssalis Golovan, 2015 (Desmosomatidae). This is the first Diexanthema copepod from the Pacific and also from hadal depths. Diexanthema hakuhomaruae most closely resembles D. bathydiaita Richie, 1975, parasitic on Nannoniscus sp. (Nannoniscidae) in the Atlantic, but differs from the latter in having a smooth body surface and leg 5 in the ventrolateral region of the urosome. In the 18S tree, D. hakuhomaruae was the sister group to the Rhizorhina clade, which is consistent with the morphology-based hypothesis that they are closely related. |
