L U AMPHIPOD NEWSLETTER 3 ^ October 1 97 3 This third issue of the Amphipod Newsletter is the first to appear in off-set. This has become possible through the most welcome help of Zoo-Tax, a "Service Centex of Taxonomic Zoology" in Lund, Sweden, and Zoo-Tax is also I'esponsible for the distribution of this issue. Technical problems in connection with these changes have caused some delay in the comp let em. en t of this issue, but I hope this will be counteracted by increased quality and lowered cost: Zoo-Tax is incredibly cheap, I pi'omised to suggest a subscription fee in this issue. I now propose a fee of 4. German Mark (BED) annually (or rather; for 2 issues) , preferably to be paid by International Money Order to my address in 'r rojnsw , As far as I can see, this will be sufficient and it will even enable us to send the Newsletter cheaper (or even free) to a few colleagues with very limited budgets. The first subscription will cover Newsletter 2 and 3, and it would be an advantage if many of you could at the same time pay the next subscription , so that I’ll have some credit. I am most grateful to those colleagues who have sent me money earlier, and they are of course not expected to pay now. In the next issue I shall give further details of the financial situation; meanwhile I shall be glad to have your comments. Apart from the usual items I have solicited three other types of contri- bution for this issue. The first is an essay about methods, in this case in scanning electron microscopy. The second gives a survey of the activi- ties of a group of colleagues, working on Amphipoda ; a similar paper on work being done in Lyon has been promised by Dr. Ginet for next issue. The third is a short report from a meeting, and gives some idea of who came together to talk about what. Again, I shall be very glad to hear if you want more conti’ibutions of this type, or if not, what else you propose. Unf ortunately , I have not got anything yet from physiologists, geneticists or pai'asi tologists , to help balance the Newsletter. The deadline for contributions to the next Newsletter is 1 May 1974. Trornso , October 1 97 3 Wim Vader SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY OF AMPHIPODS ERIK DAHL Amphipods are, on the whole, good objects for scanning electron micro- scopy. Sclerotization is in most sufficiently strong to prevent serious distortion in drying. Therefore unsophisticated dehydration and drying methods give good results. Slender appendages such as antennae and poster- ior pereiopods, however, break easily in the course of the coating proce- dure and in whole mounts they have a tendency to charging if they are not attached to the specimen holder along most of their length. This should be taken into account when mounting specimens. For detailed studies of individual appendages they should preferably be mounted separately. The greatest difficulty, however, is to obtain, clean preparations, per- mitting detailed ' studies of integument features. Amphipods are richly provided with. integumental glands, the secretions of which are denaturated by alcoholic fixatives and tend to form films covering the integument. These films are very difficult to remove (cf. below). Alco- holic fixatives should therefore be avoided, and sea-water Bouin has also given bad results. As a rule glutaraldehyde , 2-5%, or (preferably) formaldehyde 4-10%, give cleaner preparations, but disappointments are frequent , and it is obvious that the mechanisms underlying surface film formation are not properly understood. Specimens preserved in formalde- hyde should not be transferred to alcohol afterwards but kept in for- maldehyde. In order to prevent loss of calcareous matter from the inte- gument the solution should be kept neutral, so that formation of formic acid cannot take place. Several methods can be used for cleaning specimens, but it should be understood that they are very far from perfect. It is often useful to wash specimens before and/on after fixation in a tensid solution. This will help to remove extraneous particles from the body surface but it has no or little effect on surface films. Washing in a low-frequency ultrasonic cleaning apparatus is sometimes favourable, but care must be taken so that delicate structures are not: damaged. The washing should be carried out in water or in 20% acetone. The effect is very variable but sometimes quite good. Some recent experiments with potassium hydroxyde solutions have given promising results with respect to removing secreted films. They are, however, too preliminary to be formulated as recommendations for a standard procedure. It is obvious that the strong solutions(lO - 15% hot KOH) , often used by entomologists, although effectively removing -3- films also cause damage to integumental structures. It appears as if 3-5% KGH applied at room temperature for some hours may give gco.d results. It is, however, still impossible to give this as a general recommendation , and it appears as if concentrations and immersion times may have to be varied with respect to species and fixation. Thus the method although promising should not be used unless a good supply cf material for experiments is available. A perfected potassium hydroxyde cleaning method may bring great advantages because it ought to be applicable also t 0 specimens fixed and stored in alcohol. With respect to coating a gold-palladium mixture 60/40 has given very satisfactory results. As a standard method for preparing arnphipods for scanning microscopy the following procedure is recommended. Steps given in brackets are optional . 1. (Wash specimens in tensid solution) 2. Fix in 4 - 10% formaldehyde 3. (= 1) 4. (Store in neutralized 2-4% formaldehyde) 5 . Transfer to water 6. (Clean with potassium hydroxyde solution) 7 . Transfer to 20 % acetone 8. (Clean in low-f requency ultrasonic device) 9. Take specimens through a series of acetone solutions 40 - 60 - 80% to pure acetone, 2-4 hours in each solution. 10. Dry and mount on specimen holder, or 11. (Take specimens from pure acetone to acetone-amyl acetate 50/50 for 12 hours and then to pure amyl acetate for 12-24 hours. Recommended for specimens with thin cuticle) 12. (a 10) 13. Coat with gold - palladium 60/40. DEUXIEME COLLOQUE INTERNATIONAL SUR GAMMARUS ET NIPHARGUS. LYON JUILLET 1973. A . L .

The plates have been brought together in the back of the book, and arrows point out features of special importance for identification. Especially valuable is also the quite specific infor- mation about biotope, ecology and life cycle of the treated species. Altogether, this is a most valuable monograph and it will indispens- able for all amphipodologists working in the northern Atlantic. Seven new species are described in the Handbook: Amphiporeia gigantea , Bathyporeia parkeri ^ Colomastix halichondriae , Proboloides holmesi , Pudilemboides naglei , and Synchelidium americanum , and two new genera: Psammonyx (for Anonyx nobilis ) , and Pseudunciola (for Unciola obliguua ) . In the reviewer's opinion, it would have been an advantage if a formal description of these taxa had been published separately in advance: no space could apparently been found now for comparison with extralimital congeneric species, more complete illustrations, and designation of type specimens and type localities .All these things are admittedly of little or no interest for most users of this handbook, but they are most important to amphipod specialists. Likewise, Dr. Bousfield has used this opportunity to introduce some major changes at the family level, notable a division of the Gammaridae into three families, and a substantial emendation of the Aoridae, Photidae and Corophiidae. Again, space did not permit an extensive argumentation of these changes. The book is nicely produced, with very few misprints, but there is an unexpectedly high number of minor factual errors in the spelling of scientific names and author's names, European distribution data, and inclusion of European taxa in the keys. An amusing example on p. 188 is Microprotopus longimanus (du Croisic) , not the first time the locality indications on the figures in Chevreux & Fage ( 1925 ) have led to this type of misunderstanding . All three Marinogammarus- species (pp. 58 - 59 ) were in fact published in 1938 and in the genus Gammarus , and the genus Idunella is not of Chevreux, but of Sars. The key to "North Atlantic species of Melita " mentions M„ palmata as "European" , but omits M. gladiosa , M. obtusata , M, pellucida and M, reidi , and neither the "key to American Atlantic species of Meiopa " , nor the otherwise very useful list of "Gammaridean amphipods recorded or probably occurring in the New England shelf region" on pp. 283 - 290 , make any mention of Metopa hirsutimana Blake, 1929 , from Maine (or of M. groen - landica, with which Gurjanova in 1951 has synonymized this species), - 21 - COLOMASTIX I am currently describing a new species of Colomastix, which is closely related to _C. pusilla . In reviewing the literature I have come across at last three descriptions of C. pusilla from European waters which differ greatly from one another, Barnard also has reported what he believed to be C. pusilla from the Pacific Ocean. I you happen to have specimens of Colomastix pusilla , would it be possible for me to borrow them for comparison with my material^ which comes from sponges in the Florida Keys (U.S.A.)? RICHARD W. HEARD EFFECTS OF SUSPENDED SEDIMENTS Mr. R. Shillaker of this laboratory is starting research work for his Ph.D. at Millport on the effect of suspended sediment on Corophium bonelli and Lembos websteri. He would appreciate any information pert, nent to this topic or any more general information on distribution, zonation and ecology of these species. P.G. MOORE LAST MINUTE ADDITIONS NEWS FROM COLLEAGUES JOHN CHAPMAN: I am at present working on introduced estuarine amphipods of the Pacific coast of the U.S, and would be very interested in any information you might have. HISAO INOUE: I have recently started work on the geographical distri- bution of the Talitridae in the Tohoku district (northern part of mainland), and on the morphology of terrestrial forms, espe- cially Orchestia, in Ibaraki prefecture. L.R. McCLOSKEY: Presently I have a student interested in pursuing a project of mine, namely the association of amphipods with marine sponges. In the Puget Sound area there seem to be a number of amphipods which may be obligate associates of certain sponges. The amphipods most often live in the galleries and exhalent canals of the host sponge (Note change of address.) |y 31. BIBLIOGRAPHY I The bibliography has this time been split up in three parts, as this enabled me to divide the work more evenly over the period; I do not hope this will be a serious drawback. I am very much indebted to Claude de Broyer (Bruxelles) and Jan Stock (Amsterdam) for their efforts to get this bibliography as up-to-date as possible. Of the books announced in Newsletter 2, that of Dr. Bousfield is reviewed in this issue; Dr. Holsinger's book has not yet been available in Europe, while I do not know if Dr .Jankowski ' s work has been published. Many people have expressed interest in learning about the existence and whereabouts of translations of amphipod papers in foreign languages (especially Russian) into English, and the possibility and cost of procuring partial or complete copies from these works, I shall of course be glad to be able to give such information in the Newsletter, but am dependent upon your help. During the Symposium in Lyon it was proposed to include "papers in press" in this bibliography, and this has been done to a limited extent in this issue. Comments appreciated. ALLEN, G.H. , 1972.

In the Talitroidea Barnard now recognizes the following families: Talitridae, with the sub- families Talitrinae, Hyalinae and Hyalellinaej Ceinidae with the subfamilies Oeininae ( Ceina , Taihape n.g. and Waitomo n.g.) and Chil toniinae , Dogielinotidae ( Dogielinotus , Haustorioides )^ Eophliantidae ( Eophliantis , Bircenna , Ceinina , Cy 1 indry llio ides , Lignophliantis and Wandelia )^ Kuriidae ( Kuria) , Najnidae ( Na jna ) , and Phliantidae ( Phlias , Heterophlias , Iphinotus , Iphiplateia , Palinnotus , Pariphinotus , Pereionotus , Plioplateia and Quasimodia , possibly also Temnophlias ) . The Prophliantinae ( Prophlias and Haustoriopsis ) become a subfamily of the Dexaminidae, Biancolina is made the type of the monotypic Biancolinidae , while Amphi tho- lina is returned to the . Ampithoidae. The Calliopiidae and Pontogeneiidae are amalgamated with the Eusiridae and both Aoridae and Photidae with the Isaeidae, while the Thaumateisoni- nae are subordinated to the Stenothoidae , subsequent to the discovery of the intermediate genus , Raumahara .
