چکیده

•The discovery of two new species, Enallopagurus provenzanoi, and EnallopaguropsLs williamsi, has required an addendum and concluding part to the revisionary study of the "Pylopagunis-Tomopagurus" group of genera. The diagnoses of Enallopagurus McLaughlin and Enallopaguropsis McLaughlin, are emended, and a corrected key to the genera is provided. The discovery of additional specimens of Phimochirus randalli (Provenzano) from the Gulf of Mexico has provided supplemental information on the morphology, color, and distribution of this uncommon species; it is rediagnosed and illustrated. Also provided is a summary of the original taxonomic assignments in part 1 (published in 1981) of this revisionary study, and the subsequent changes, corrections, deletions, and additions that have occurred since then. An updated list of the 13 genera, two subgenera, and 64 valid species currently recognized in the "Pylopagurus-Tomopagurus" group, is presented. McLaughlin (1981a) proposed the new genera Enallopagurus McLaughlin, 1981a and Enallopaguropsis McLaughlin, 1981a, for five relatively uncommon eastern Pacific hermit crab species that had been included by earlier authors in the genus Pylopagurus A. Milne-Edwards & Bouvier, 1891. To Enallopagurus, McLaughlin (1981a) assigned Pylopagurus affinis Faxon, 1893, P. coronatus (Benedict, 1892), and P. spinicarpus Glassell, 1938; Enallopaguropsis included P. guaternoci Glassell, 1937, and Pylopagurus hancocki Walton, 1954. One of the primary characters that McLaughlin (1981a) used to differentiate between Enallopagurus and Enallopaguropsis was the rows of scales on the propodal rasp of the fourth pereopod. In a subsequent, more detailed account of these two genera, McLaughlin (1982) placed Enallopaguropsis hancocki in synonymy with E. guatcinoci and added the new species E. janetae McLaughlin, 1982. In the present addendum and concluding part of the revision of the "Pylopagurus-Tornopagurus" group of genera, two new species, one each of Enallopagurus, and Enallopaguropsis, are described. Recent sampling off the Louisiana coast in the northern Gulf of Mexico has yielded a number of additional specimens of Phimochirus randalli (Provenzano, 1961), a species discussed by McLaughlin (1981b) and at the time known only from the Bahamas Islands and Caribbean region. Examination of these Gulf of Mexico specimens revealed a number of morphological details that complement previous definitions of P. randalli. Furthermore, Provenzano "s ( 1961:161 ) color description was incomplete as it was based on faded, preserved specimens, whereas for this study VOLUME 1 16, NUMBER 465 live specimens from the Gulf of Mexico were available and photographed (D. L. Felder, pers. comm.). Phimochints randalli is herein rediagnosed, and illustrated. Since the publication of part 1 (McLaughlin 198 La) of the six-part revisionary study of the "'Pylopagunis-Tomopagiinis" group of genera, several new species have been added that have necessitated emendations of generic diagnoses, and two new genera have been erected. Some of the taxonomic assignments made in part I have been changed in light of new evidence gleaned from direct examination of type materials not initially available. In some cases, new morphological discoveries, such as the existence of short sexual tubes in some species of Pylopagiinis sensu stricto (see McLaughlin & Lemaitre 2001), or the existence of short protrusions of the vas deferentia in the form of tubular papillae in Agaricochirus McLaughlin, 1981a, Enallopagunis. and Enallopaguiopsis (see McLaughlin 2003, this study), have required adjustments to our concept of these genera. In the new species of the latter two genera herein described, the morphology of the terminal margin of the telson has been foimd to deviate from the original generic diagnoses. As this maigin shape was used as a character in the updated generic key provided by McLaughlin & Lemaitre (2001:480), that key now requires corrections. Also, several taxa have been synonyniized since part 1 was published, whereas Pylopugurus Háchele Bai-nai^d, 1947, a taxon tentatively assigned in parts 1 and 2 (McLaughlin 1981a, 1981b) to Phimochirus McLaughlin, 1981a, was transferred by McLaughlin (1988) to Pagurus Fabricius, 1775, a genus not considered part of the ^'Pylopagunis-Toinopagiirus" group. McLaughlin's (J981a) genus Attstralerennis was reduced by de Saint Laurent & McLaughlin (2000) to a subgenus of Lophopagurus McLaughlin, 1981a. Thus, it was felt useful to have in a single convenient publication, a summai-y of the taxonomJc assignments, changes, corrections, and additions that have occurred during the 2Hyears that have elapsed since the appearance of part 1 of the revision of this group. There are cunently 13 genera, two subgenera, and 64 valid species known in this group (see Table 1). Materials used in this study are deposited in the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. (USNM), and University of Louisiana at Lafayette (ULL-Z). The specimens of the new species of Enullnpagurus and Enallopagurnpsis were collected by Dr. Anthony J. Provenzano, Jr. aboard the R/V John Elliott Pillsbury, of the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, University of Miami, Florida. The new material of Phimochirus randalli was collected by Dr Darryl L. Felder aboard the R/V Pelican, of the Louisiana Universities Marine Con.sortium, Cocodrie. The interpretation of the ocular acicle is used in accordance with Forest et a!, (2000), rather than that of Boyko & Harvey (1999). A single measurement, shield length (si), measured from the tip of the rostrum to the midpoint of the posterior margin of the shield provides an indication of animal size. Other abbreviations used are; ovig, ovigerous female; sta, station.

Remarks.•Faxon (1893, 1895; pi. 12. fig. 2e) reported that his single male specimen of Pylopcii^iinis uffinis (= Eiiallopagiirus ajßnis) had the vas deferentia extruded as "small tlireads" from both gonopores. McLaughlin (1982) reexamined Faxon's (1893) specimen and ccjncluded that while there were slight protrusions, these were more probably an artifact of preservation 46S PROCEHDINGS OF THF. RIOI.ÜGICAl. SOCIETY OF WASHINGTON ralher than actual, very small sexual tubes. Since McLaughlin's (1982) study, our information on and understanding of sexual tubes in the Paguridae has increased substantially. Among the "Pylopcigurii.s-Tomopa^unis" group, species of Enullopaf>iirnpxis and Aiiuricochirus can also have the vas deferentia protruded as tubular papillae, albeit not as a distinct sexual tube. In other Paguridae, similar protrusions are known to occur in genera such as Discorsopcii;iirii.s McLaughlin, 1974, Pagurilla Melin, 1939, and Pagiiriis (see de Saint Laurent 1970, McLaughlin & Lemaitre 199.3, McLaughlin 2003). However, as reported by McLaughlin & Lemaitre (2001), short but distinct sexual tubes are present in some species of Pylopcigiirus sensu stricto. Recently, McLaughlin & Jensen (1996) found a very small sexual tube developed on the right coxa of males of Parapcii>iirock's liartac McLaughlin & Jensen, 1996, and Komai ( 1998) provisionally transferred two Japanese species formerly assigned to Pai^unis {P. gracilipe.s Stimpson, 18.58 and P. nipponensis Yokoj'a, 1933), to Parupagitrocli's McLaughlin & Haig, 1973, because of the observed small .sexual tubes in males of both species. McLaughlin (1981a, 1982) included Faxon's (1893) Pylopagunis ajfuiis in Enallopagurus. despite the fact that Faxon described the propodal rasp of the fourth pereopod as "multiserial". The type specimen has been reexamined, and Faxon's description and subsequent illustration (Faxon 189.5: pi 12, fig. 2d) found to be in error; the propodal rasp of the fourth pereopod actually has a single row of scales. This species is retained in Enallopagiinis. although this generic assignment is still provisional given that E. affinis is known only from the male hololype. Until the discovery of the new species of Enallopagurus described herein, the genus had been considered exclusively an eastern Pacific taxon. Although the right cheliped of this new species lacks the operculate-like conformation seen in the other three species assigned to the genus, the unarmed carpi of the second and third pereopods, the single row of scales on the propodal rasp of the fourth pereopod, and the presence in females of paired first gonopods, support its placement in the genus. The terminal margin of the telson in this new species of £";?allopagunis has a minute tnedian indentation and is not clearly entire as described in the original generic diagnosis (McLaughlin 1981a. 1982); thus, the need for the emendation. An updated key to the species of Enullopagitnis is provided following the description of this new species. Enallopagurus provenzanoi, new species Figs. 1, 2 Holotypc.•Ovig. ?
