چکیده
A new species of pycnogonid collected by the Chinese research vessel, R/V HY IV, during deep sea cruises to the South China Sea in 2013, is described. The new species, Hemichela nanhaiensis, obtained from more than 1300 m depth, is distinguished from the other two species in the genus by the characters of the chela dactylus with 12 denticulations on the inner margin and by the presence of taller tubercles on the lateral processes.

متن کاملPolygynandry and sexual size dimorphism in the sea spider Ammothea hilgendorfi (Pycnogonida: Ammotheidae), a marine arthropod with brood-carrying males.
Species that exhibit uniparental postzygotic investment by males are potentially good systems for investigating the interplay of sexual selection, parental care and mating systems. In all species of sea spiders (Class Pycnogonida), males exclusively provide postzygotic care by carrying fertilized eggs until they hatch. However, the mating systems of sea spiders are poorly known. Here we describ...
