E-mail: [email protected] (Received 14 June 2017; Accepted 9 August 2017; Published 18 August 2017; Communicated by Benny K.K. Chan) Shane T. Ahyong and Peter K.L. Ng (2017) Cymonomid crabs are small cryptic deep-water brachyurans occurring worldwide. Six species have been reported from East Asia: one from both Taiwan and Japan (C. andamanicus Alcock, 1905) and five from Japan only (C. curvirostris Sakai, 1965, C. japonicus Balss, 1922, C. sagamiensis Sakai, 1983, C. soela Ahyong and Brown, 2003, C. umitakae Takeda, 1981). Cymonomus curvirostris, C. japonicus, C. sagamiensis and C. umitakae were described from Japanese waters, but C. andamanicus and C. soela have much more distant type localities - the Andaman Sea and southeastern Australia, respectively. We review all previous records of Cymonomus from East Asia, describe two new species, and clarify the status of records of C. andamanicus and C. soela from the region. Records of C. andamanicus and C. soela from East Asia are referable to two new species occurring in both Taiwan and Japan. The identities of C. japonicus and C. sagamiensis are fixed by neotype selection; C. sagamiensis is made a junior objective synonym of C. umitakae. Six species of Cymonomus are now recorded from Japan, of which two also occur off Taiwan. We also report on cymonomids collected by Taiwanese research vessels in the South China Sea (Dongsha and Macclesfield Bank) of which four species were collected, including C. hakuhoae Takeda and Moosa, 1990, not previously found in Japan or Taiwan. A key to the species of Cymonomus from East Asia and the South China Sea is included. Key words: Crustacea, Cymonomus, Crab, Taiwan, Japan, South China Sea, Seamount. *Correspondence: E-mail: [email protected].au BACKGROUND Cymonomids are small, rare, cryptic podotreme crabs having elongate, usually immovable eyestalks, a quadrate carapace without functional orbits, reduced, sub-dorsal pereopods 4 and 5, and a pleotelson in both sexes (Tavares 1993a, b; Ahyong et al. 2009). Most cymonomids occur in deep outer shelf or slope waters below 200 m depth. Five genera and 39 species are known worldwide, with new species regularly discovered, especially from the Indo-West Pacific (e.g., Ng et al. 2008; Ahyong 2008; Ahyong and Ng 2009 2011; Ahyong 2014). The cymonomid crabs of East Asia are poorly known, with six species of the genus Cymonomus A. Milne-Edwards, 1880, reported from the region: one from both Taiwan and Japan (C. andamanicus Alcock, 1905) and five from Japan only (C. curvirostris Sakai, 1965, C. japonicus Balss, 1922, C. sagamiensis Sakai, 1983, C. umitakae Takeda, 1981, and C. soela Ahyong and Brown, 2003) (Sakai 1976; Takeda 2001; Ho et al. 2004; Ahyong et al. 2009). Cymonomus curvirostris, C. japonicus, C. sagamiensis and C. umitakae were described from Japanese waters, but C. andamanicus and C. soela have much more distant type localities, namely the Andaman Sea and southeastern Australia, respectively. We herein review all previous records of Cymonomus from East Asia, describe two new species, and clarify records of C. andamanicus and C. soela from the region. We also report cymonomid specimens Zoological Studies 56: 24 (2017) doi:10.6620/ZS.2017.56-24 1 collected from the South China Sea by Taiwanese research vessels. Herein, we record seven species of Cymonomus, of which two are new to science. MATERIALS AND METHODS Terminology and size descriptors follow Ahyong and Ng (2009). Carapace length (cl) is measured along the dorsal midline and includes the rostrum. Postrostral carapace length (pcl) excludes the rostrum. Carapace width (cw) is the greatest width of the carapace. Specimens are deposited in the National Taiwan Ocean University, Keelung (NTOU); Australian Museum, Sydney (AM); Natural History Museum and Institute, Chiba (CBM); Zoological Reference Collection of the Lee Kong Chian Museum of Natural History, National University of Singapore (ZRC); Wakayama Prefectural Museum of Natural History, Japan (WPMNH); and National Science Museum, Tokyo (NSMT).

Egg diameter 1.1 mm. Etymology: Named after our friend and colleague Tin-Yam Chan, for his major contributions to carcinology and for making available many of the specimens studied herein. Remarks: Cymonomus chani sp. nov. superficially resembles “short-rostrum” species, such as C. mainbaza Ahyong, 2014 (Mozambique Channel), and C. andamanicus Alcock, 1905, to which it was tentatively referred (as C. andamanicus) by Ho et al. (2004) and Ahyong et al. (2009). Cymonomus chani, however, does not belong to the C. delli group (see below under Remarks of C. cognatus sp. nov.), which includes C. andamanicus, and whose members have a short rostrum but also short, stout, eyestalks. Instead, C. chani appears morphologically closest to C. mainbaza Ahyong, 2014, sharing the slender, strongly divergent eyestalks, but is readily distinguished by the absence of the basal antennal spine (Fig. 1C), subparallel carapace margins (versus posteriorly divergent), distinctly coarser dorsal carapace granulation (versus finely granulate), and divergent lateral margins of sternite 3 (versus subparallel) (Figs. 1A, E) (cf. Ahyong 2014: fig. 1A, E). The previous record of C. soela from the Ryukyus (Takeda et al. 2005) is referable to C. chani. The female specimen from the Ryukyus agrees well with the Taiwanese and Dongsha specimens differing only in having a proportionally slightly narrower abdomen. The accompanying male carries a rhizocephalan externa under the abdomen and is strongly feminised, with proportional antennular peduncle and pereopod lengths similar to those of females. Nagai (1994) reported C. chani as Cymonomus sp. 4, from off Shionomisaki, Wakayama Prefecture, Japan, at 650 m. Distribution: Northern South China Sea, Taiwan and Japan (Ryukyu Islands); 650-1134 m.

Gonopod 1 distal article cannulate, forming copulatory tube, with long distal setae. Gonopod 2 with articles fused, L-shaped; distomesial margin slightly hollowed, apex acute. Etymology: The specific name, cognatus, Latin, meaning related or kindred, alludes to the strong similarities between the new species and its regional congeners C. diogenes and C. delli. Remarks: Ahyong et al. (2009) reported Cymonomus cognatus sp. nov. from Taiwan, provisionally as C. andamanicus Alcock, 1905. Cymonomus cognatus belongs to the C. delli group, an assemblage of species within the genus characterised by: a small, triangular rostrum that is distinctly shorter than the eyestalks; short, stout, relatively broad, ventrally flattened eyestalks; a relatively swollen carapace with a finely granular surface and margins, rounded anterolateral and slightly divergent lateral margins; and a pleotelson with a partial to full demarcation between abdominal somite 6 and the telson (yet to be confirmed in C. andamanicus). This group includes C. andamanicus Alcock, 1905 (Andaman Sea), C. cubensis Chace, 1940 (Caribbean Sea), C. delli Griffin and Brown, 1976 (southern Australia), and C. diogenes Ahyong and Ng, 2009 (southern Philippines). It should be noted that C. cubensis and C. delli were previously placed in Cymonomoides Tavares, 1993a, together with C. page 6 of 20Zoological Studies 56: 24 (2017) guinotae Tavares, 1991 (type species; Brazil) and Cymonomoides fitoi Lemaitre and Bermúdez, 2000 (Caribbean Sea) on the basis of the 7-segmented abdomen. Members of the C. delli group, however, do not appear to be closely related to the type species of Cymonomoides, differing in rostral (well-developed versus obsolete) and eye form (short, broad and stout versus slender, elongate). The clear demarcation of the telson from somite 6 in Cymonomoides and some members of the C. delli group is most parsimoniously interpreted as plesiomorphic. Moreover, the demarcation between the telson and abdominal somite 6 in species of the C. delli group varies from mere notches in the lateral margins to a distinct groove across the pleotelson making the taxonomic effectiveness of this feature questionable (Ahyong and Ng 2009). Pending further study, Cymonomoides is restricted to the American C. guinotae and C. fitoi. Cymonomus cognatus appears to be morphologically closest to C. delli from southern Australia and C. diogenes from the Philippines. Cymonomus cognatus resembles C. delli in having similar walking leg morphometrics, but is distinguished by proportionally more elongate antennular peduncles (1.0 pcl in males, 0.8-0.9 pcl in females versus 0.9 pcl in males, 0.7-0.8 pcl in females), a narrower thoracic sternite 3 (width 1.6 × length versus 1.8 × length; Fig. 2E), and in the slightly greater fronto-orbital width (0.6 × anterior carapace width or greater versus about half; Fig. 1A). Cymonomus cognatus resembles C. diogenes in fronto-orbital proportions (0.6 carapace width or greater) (Fig. 2A) and length of the maxilliped 3 exopod (reaching distally beyond the mero-carpal articulation; Fig. 2D), but differs in the shorter pereopod 3 merus (1.0-1.1 pcl versus 1.4 pcl in males; 0.9-1.0 pcl versus 1.1-1.2 in females) and the presence of a longitudinal rib on the pereopod 2 and 3 dactyli (rib absent in C. diogenes). The new species resembles C. andamanicus in the similar fronto-orbital width and thoracic sternite 3 proportions, but differs in having a longer maxilliped 3 exopod, reaching distally beyond the mero-carpal articulation (Fig. 2D) versus reaching almost to level of mero-carpal articulation (Alcock et al. 1907: pl. 79 fig 2a). Additionally, C. cognatus possesses anterolateral spines (which C. andamanicus apparently lacks). The specimens of C. cognatus from the South China Sea comprise females and one damaged male. The male corresponds well to the holotype, though the transverse groove demarcating the telson from abdominal somite 6 is more distinct than in the holotype. In the holotype, the groove separating the telson from somite 6 is shallow and indistinct, especially medially. In the South China Sea male, the groove is also shallow, though defined throughout its length. In females, the pleotoelson groove is well-defined. Nagai (1994) reported female C. cognatus from southeastern Japan, from the Kumano Sea (~300 m depth) as “Cymonomus sp. 1”, and males off Shionomisaki (~400 m depth) under the name “Cymonomus sp. 2”. The dry female specimen from the Kumano Sea is damaged, lacking chelipeds, pereopods 3-4 and the abdomen, but what remains agrees well with C. cognatus. The specimen figured and reported by Sakai (1976: pl. 8 fig. 1) as C. andamanicus from Mimase, Tosa Bay, at 250 m depth, corresponds in all respects to C. cognatus Distribution: Southern Japan and Taiwan to Macclesfield Bank, South China Sea; 250 to 4901027 m.

Remarks: Cymonomus curvirostris Sakai, 1965, C. kapala Ahyong and Brown, 2003, C. liui Ahyong and Ng, 2011, C. mariveneae Ahyong and Ng, 2009, and C. trifurcus Stebbing, 1920, are herein referred to as the C. curvirostris group. The presence of large, globular pedunculate tubercles on the dorsal and the ventral surfaces of the cephalothorax, abdomen and pereopods distinguishes the members of the C. curvirostris group from all other congeners. Cymonomus curvirostris is readily distinguished from C. kapala (southeastern Australia) by the presence in the latter of a massive rounded boss on each branchial region (Fig. 3A versus Ahyong and Brown 2003: fig. 1) and from C. trifurcus (South Africa) by relatively short rostrum, shorter than the eyestalk in the former versus overreaching the eyestalk in the latter; Fig. 3A, B versus Barnard 1950: fig. 74A, C). The Japanese species differs from C. marivenae (Philippines) by the ornamentation of the central surface of the carapace (entirely tuberculate versus smooth in C. marivenae; Fig. 3A, Ahyong and Ng 2009: fig. 6A). Cymonomus curvirostris is morphologically closest to C. liui from the Philippines, but is readily distinguished by the proportionally wider female pleotelson (Fig. 3F) (length half width versus twothirds width in C. liui; Ahyong and Ng 2011: fig. 3F), the shorter maxilliped 3 merus which does not overreach the exopod (Fig. 3D) (distinctly overreaching the exopod in C. liui; Ahyong and Ng 2011: fig. 3D), and much more extensive, more prominent tuberculation on the carapace, abdomen and the pereopod 2-3 meri (Fig. 3A; cf. Ahyong and Ng 2011: fig. 3A). In Cymonomus curvirostris, the surfaces of the carapace and abdomen are almost entirely covered with tubercles (Figs. 3A, F) (more sparsely distributed in C. liui; Ahyong and Ng 2011: fig. 3A, F) and the flexor and extensor margins of the pereopod 2-3 meri are entirely lined with club-shaped tubercles (Figs. 3A, F) (only sparsely so in C. liui; Ahyong and Ng 2011: fig. 3A, F). During preparation of the study, T. Komai forwarded us a colour photograph C. curvirostris collected recently from off Miura, Sagami Bay, Japan (CBM, ovigerous female, cl 3.6 mm, pcl 3.3 mm, cw 3.9 mm 35°06.81'N, 139°33.78'E to 35°06.63'N, 139°33.73'E, 292-375 m, dredge, RV Rinkai-maru, coll.

Pereopod 3 longest, merus shorter than carapace, 0.91-0.98 pcl (males), 0.79-0.92 (females). Dactyli broadly curved, sparsely spinose proximally, otherwise smooth, without longitudinal rib. Pereopod 3 dactylus almost as long as combined length of propodus and carpus. Pereopods 4 and 5 finely granular, and sparsely spinose; longer than pereopod 3 merus; dactyli markedly shorter than propodi, falcate, with corneous apex and 3 or 4 obliquely inclined, corneous spines on flexor margin. Pereopod 5 merus, when folded against carapace, reaching midlength of carapace. Thoracic sternite 3 sparsely granular, about 1.7 × wider than long; sternite 3 pentagonal, lateral margins posteriorly subparallel. Margins of sternites 4 and 5 granulate. Abdomen granulate and spinose, most prominent on somites 2 and 3, sparsely ornamented on somites 4 and 5; pleotelson subtriangular, sparsely granular or minutely spinose; margins straight to slightly convex, wider than long, width 1.6-1.7 × length (male), 1.8 (female); without any trace of demarcation between somite 6 and telson. Gonopod 1 distal article cannulate, forming copulatory tube, apex slightly fluted, with moderately long distal setae. Gonopod 2 with articles fused; distomesial margin slightly hollowed, apex acute. Remarks: Takeda (1981) described C. umitakae on the basis of a single incomplete female, lacking all pereopods except the left cheliped. The series examined here enables a good characterisation of the species based on both sexes. The combination of slender, weakly divergent ocular peduncles, a slender sharp rostrum, sharply triangular outerorbital processes of similar length to the rostrum, the anterior carapace margin mesial to the anterolateral processes sloping posteriorly inwards, and prominently spinose carpi and propodi of pereopods 2 and 3 is shared by C. umitakae and C. valdiviae from off east Africa (Ahyong 2014). Cymonomus umitakae is readily distinguished from C. valdiviae by the more slender distal articles of the antennular peduncle (penultimate article length not more than twice width versus three times width in C. valdiviae and the proportionally shorter walking legs (0.79-0.89 pcl in females versus 0.940.97 pcl in female C. valdiviae) (Fig. 6A, B; Ahyong 2014: fig. 3A). Variation within the present series of C. umitakae is slight, chiefly evident in the dorsal spination of the carapace and marginal spination of the eyestalks and rostrum - most pronounced in the largest specimens. The telson of the smallest male is apparently yet to reach adult form, having less rounded anterolateral corners. Sexual dimorphism is as observed in other congeners in proportionally longer walking legs and antennules in males. Two females (WPMNH #49) are parasitized, having a rhizocephalan externa under the abdomen. The abdomen of the smallest male (pcl 2.3 mm, incompletely developed gonopods) is more evenly rounded than in adult males in which the telson is distinctly triangular. Sakai (1983) described Cymonomus sagamiensis from the Kumano Sea, Mie Prefecture, based on a single dried carapace. Unfortunately, the description was extremely brief, and the figure rudimentary. Searches of Japanese museum collections over the past 15 years as well as the Natur-Museum und Forschungsinstitut Senckenberg, Frankfurt am Main, where some of Sakai’s material is deposited failed to locate the holotype of C. sagamiensis; it is considered lost. Sakai (1983) considered C. sagamiensis to probably represent the species reported by him in 1976 as C. andamanicus (herein referred to C. cognatus). Sakai’s (1976: pl. 8 fig. 1) figure, however, bears little resemblance to the holotype description of C. sagamiensis or figure (Sakai 1983: pl. 8A), especially in the short rostrum, and subparallel eyestalks. Rather, Sakai’s (1983) figure resembles C. umitakae, unique in the Japanese fauna for its subparallel eyes, and strong anterolateral spines on the carapace. Indeed, Takeda (1997) also noted the similarity between C. umitakae and C. sagamiensis. We regard C. sagamiensis and C. umitakae as synonymous, and herein designate the holotype of the latter as the neotype of the former in order to stabilise the identity of Sakai’s species. Thus, C. sagamiensis becomes an objective junior synonym of C. umitakae. Distribution: Southeastern Japan, from E of Nojima-zaki, Suruga Bay and Tosa Bay to Okinawa; 219-500 m. page 18 of 20Zoological Studies 56: 24 (2017) DISCUSSION All species studied here for which both sexes are known (except C. chani, in which the only known male is parasitized) exhibit sexual dimorphism as reported by Ahyong and Ng (2009) in the greater proportional lengths of the antennular peduncles and walking legs in males, apparently a typical feature of cymonomids, and cyclodorippoids in general. The proportional lengths of the antennules and walking legs in males are typically 10-30% greater than in females. In addition, adult female Cymonomus may also have a slightly more inflated carapace, making the carapace grooves less distinct than in males. These sexual differences must always be considered when identifying species of Cymonomus. Seven species of Cymonomus are now known from East Asia between Japan and the South China Sea. Cymonomids all have comparatively narrow ranges (i.e., none spans major ocean basins), but of the species known from the study area, C. deforgesi has the widest distribution, ranging from the southern Philippines to Japan, including the Dongsha Islands (northern South China Sea). Similarly, C. hakuhoae is also relatively widespread, but occurs further south, ranging from Macclesfield Bank to the Philippines and southern Indonesia. Cymonomus cognatus ranges from near Macclesfield Bank to Taiwan and Japan. Cymonomus chani is presently known only from Dongsha, Taiwan and Japan, whereas C. curvirostris, C. japonicus and C. umitakae are endemic to Japanese waters. None is endemic to Taiwan. Most specimens were taken from the outer shelf or slope, but those of C. hakuhoae and some specimens of C. cognatus were taken from seamounts in the South China Sea.
