چکیده
A new species of Anoplodactylus was discovered in coral reefs from the State of Paraíba, northeastern Brazil. A. mirim sp. nov. is very small and is characterized for having 3 teeth on the cheliphores and a very small cement gland. It belongs to the A. pygmaeus complex, which contains very small species. A. batangensis is recorded for the first time along the Brazilian coast, and A. eroticus is recorded for the first time in the South Atlantic. We record the fifth known case of gynandromorphism, the fourth for Anoplodactylus, based on two specimens of A. eroticus.

Title: Two New Records of Pycnogonids for the Uruguayan Coast

Disagreements concerning pycnogonid relations to other arthropods, including homologous characters, is partly a product of too few primary observations of pycnogonid anatomy and development. This investigation of post-embryonic development of the pycnogonid Anoplodactylus eroticus employs multiple techniques of anatomical observation in order to thoroughly document the life cycle. Morphogenesis...
