In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: ‘‘It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge.”’ This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review. Press requirements for manuscript and art preparation are outlined on the inside back cover. S.

Reaka and Raymond b. Manning Introduction The biota of the East Pacific region is relatively poorly known, despite its considerable zoogeo- graphic significance. The East Pacific has been separated from the West Atlantic region since the late Miocene (Durham and Allison, 1960; Wood- ring, 1966), and, although high levels of ende- mism are found there, many East Pacific species show affinities to taxa in the West Atlantic (Woodring, 1966; Briggs, 1974; Manning, 1977; Emerson, 1978). However, some East Pacific spe- cies are more closely related to taxa in the East Atlantic than to those in the West Atlantic. For example, a xanthid crab, Nanocassiope melanodactyla (A. Milne-Edwards, 1867), is known from the East Pacific and East Atlantic but not from the West Atlantic (Chace, 1966). The closest relatives of five species of East Pacific xanthid crabs (some of them restricted to the Galapagos) occur in the East Atlantic (Garth, 1968). One stomatopod crustacean, Squilla aculeata, is represented by sub- species in the East Pacific and East Atlantic but Majore L.

Manning, Department of Invertebrate Zoology, National Museum of Natural History, Smith- sonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560. not the West Atlantic; and species in several other East Pacific stomatopod genera (Eurysquilla, Co- ronida, Lysvosquilla, and Pseudosquillopsis) show clos- est affinities to species in the East Atlantic (Man- ning, 1977). On the other hand, some species of mollusks occur in the Atlantic and Indo-West Pacific, but not the East Pacific (see Woodring, 1966; Emerson, 1978). Species of four stomatopod genera (Bathysquilla, Odontodactylus, Alima, Pseudo- squilla) are present in the West Atlantic and Indo- West Pacific, but not in the East Pacific (Man- ning, 1969a; Manning and Struhsaker, 1976). An alpheid shrimp, Alpheus paracrintus Miers, 1881, is known from the Indo-West Pacific, Clipperton Island in the East Pacific, and the East Atlantic, but does not occur on the East Pacific mainland or in the West Atlantic (Chace, 1962). The fauna of the offshore islands in the East Pacific (Isla Guadalupe, Islas Tres Marias, Islas de Revillagigedo, Clipperton, Clarion, Cocos, and the Galapagos) is particularly interesting, inas- much as Indo-West Pacific species often occur in relatively high proportions there but not on the mainland. Of 24 species of nonbrachyuran deca- pod crustaceans found on Clipperton Island (Chace, 1962), 14 (58%) are known from other offshore islands and the Indo-West Pacific. Of these 14 species, six do not extend beyond the offshore islands, four reach the East Pacific main- land, and four occur also in the Atlantic. The remaining 10 species are restricted to the East Pacific, and three of them are endemic to the offshore islands. Of 34 species of brachyuran decapods found on Clipperton, 15 (44%) occur also in the Indo-West Pacific; eight of these spe- cies occur only as far east as the offshore islands (Clipperton), and seven reach the mainland. The remaining 19 species occur only in the East Pa- cific (Garth, 1965, 1974). In the Galapagos, Garth (1946) found 120 species of brachyurans; five (4%) occur also in the Indo-West Pacific, 18 are endemic to the Galapagos, and most of the re- maining species occur only in the East Pacific; either the same or the closest relatives of four species occur in the West Atlantic. Of nearly 3400 mollusks in the East Pacific, only 48 (ca. 1%) have Indo-West Pacific affinities. However, ex- cept for the rare occurrences of 10 of them on the mainland, 79% of the species with Indo-West Pacific affinities are restricted to the offshore islands (Emerson, 1978). The incidence of Indo- West Pacific elements in the molluskan fauna of the Islas de Revillagigedo (3%), Cocos (7%), and the Galapagos (5%) is lower than that for Clip- perton (60%) (Briggs, 1974). Vermeij (1978) has characterized some of the biological attributes of mollusks that do and do not cross this offshore barrier. Also, relatively high proportions of Indo- West Pacific species are found on the offshore islands for corals (56% Cocos, 22% Galapagos) and fishes (23% Islas Revillagigedo, 26% Clipper- ton and Cocos, 12% Galapagos) (Briggs, 1974). Indo-West Pacific fishes occupy localized coral habitats in the Golfo de Chiriqui, Panama, and similar outposts near Nayarit and Cabo San Lu- cas, Mexico, as well. However, even in these localities, Indo-West Pacific fishes appear to be less abundant than endemic species (Rosenblatt, McCosker, and Rubinoff, 1972). Like the brach- yurans, a number of endemic fishes from the Galapagos are more closely related to species in 2 SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE MARINE SCIENCES the West Atlantic than to those in mainland East Pacific areas (Briggs, 1974). In summary, most East Pacific species are re- lated to other taxa in their region or in the West Atlantic. Some species, however, particularly those from outlying areas of the East Pacific, most closely resemble species from the Atlantic (sometimes the eastern West Atlantic or the East Atlantic), providing a distributional hiatus in mainland East Pacific and/or Caribbean regions. Furthermore, a number of species occur in Atlan- tic and Indo-West Pacific regions, but not in the East Pacific. Although a number of Indo-West Pacific migrants cross the East Central Pacific expanse to the offshore islands, few traverse the relatively minor remaining distances to the main- land. These faunal relationships obviously raise questions about patterns of habitat use and evo- lutionary processes along East Pacific shores. Herein we present an annotated list of the shallow-water stomatopod Crustacea collected during the R/V Searcher Expedition to the Pacific coast of Costa Rica in 1972, of which one of us (M.L.R.) was a member. Stomatopods are active predators that occupy burrows in mud, sand, coral, and under rocks, and are important com- ponents of tropical communities both in numbers of individuals and in potential impact upon prey species (Abele, 1972, 1974; personal observation). A raptorial appendage is used to hammer and spear prey, to fight other stomatopods, and for defense against predators. Severe, potentially le- thal fights erupt among individuals of the same and other species of mantis shrimps; this intense aggression appears to be related to defense of the burrow (Caldwell and Dingle, 1975). In spite of behavior characteristic of intense competition, we know relatively little about the frequency of spe- cies exclusion or co-occurrence in these pugna- cious predators. Furthermore, we have only mea- ger knowledge about the range of habitats occu- pied by particular taxa. Such information is crit- ical for interpretation of behavioral studies (re- ported elsewhere; Reaka and Myers, manuscript in preparation). Also, patterns of local distribu- tion and habitat use shed light on ecological and NUMBER 7 3 Tas.e 1|.—Collections of stomatopods from the Pacific coast of Costa Rica (station numbers refer to the R/V Searcher data log, Cruise 72-3, Costa Rica, Chief Scientist W.

In this account we also provide a list of all currently recognized species and subspecies of Stomatopoda from the East Pacific. This is fol- lowed by an analysis of the distribution patterns and biology of the species collected along the Pacific coast of Costa Rica during the Searcher expedition. Then, overall patterns of habitat use and co-occurrence of species in these collections are discussed. Lastly, we discuss the zoogeograph- ical relationships of the East Pacific stomatopods as currently understood. METHODS AND COLLECTING SITES.—Station data, including localities, habitat characteristics, collecting methods, and species taken at each station, are given above (Table 1). Coordinates for localities mentioned in the text are listed in the Appendix: Gazetteer. For each species, the paragraph on range gives the coordinates for the northern- and southernmost localities; in these paragraphs coordinates from original station data or station data in the literature are not set off in brackets, whereas those coordinates added by us are indicated with brackets. All of the specimens have been deposited in the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, using the abbreviation USNM (the former United States National Museum). Measurements given in the species accounts with numbers of specimens are rounded off to the nearest half millimeter. Authors and dates accompanying specific names in the text are considered to be part of the NUMBER 7 name, not literature citations. We do not neces- sarily give original references in the species ac- counts below, nor do we give complete synony- mies. For the older species, original references can be found in the accounts of Schmitt (1940) and Manning (1972a). Original references for species described since 1972 are in the Literature Cited. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.—Participation in the Searcher cruise was made possible by a grant from the Janss Foundation. During the cruise, led by Chief Scientist William A. Bussing, John Mc- Cosker and Richard Rosenblatt collected stoma- topods from deeper habitats by diving. We thank Roy L. Caldwell, University of California, Berke- ley, for reading the manuscript and for sharing his field observations on stomatopods with us, and Horton H. Hobbs, Jr., Smithsonian Institu- tion, for critically reviewing the manuscript. Checklist of East Pacific Stomatopoda Our knowledge of the East Pacific stomatopod fauna has increased greatly in the past few years. The number of species now reported from that region is almost double that reported by Schmitt (1940), 29 species and subspecies representing six genera. Now 50 species and subspecies represent- ing 18 genera have been recorded. Two species are now known to have been er- roneously reported from the East Pacific, the Indo-West Pacific Lyszosquilla maculata (Fabricius, 1793) and the West Atlantic Gonodactylus oerstedit Hansen, 1895. Both were included in the East Pacific fauna by Schmitt (1940) and by Manning (1972a) in keys to the East Pacific species. Records of Lysiosquilla maculata appear to be based on the similar L. panamica Manning, 1971. Those of Gonodactylus oerstedi are based on several species, all distinct from that West Atlantic form. Records for G. oerstedii from the Gulf of California (Lunz, 1937:4; Schmitt, 1940:211; Steinbeck and Ricketts, 1941:428) appear to be based on G. stanschi or G. zacae; those of G. oerstedii from the Galapagos Islands (Schmitt, 1940:211) are based, at least in part, on G. pumilus. All of these collec- tions need to be reexamined. (Sa) In addition, records of Coronida bradyi (A. Milne Edwards, 1869) (Schmitt, 1940:202; and Man- mmes) tO 2a298. key) are. based! \ on the misidentification of the related Coronida schmitti Manning. Holthuis (1967:6) included references to C. schmitti under C. armata (Leach, 1817). The following Stomatopoda are now known from the East Pacific (* = species reported herein).

However, two other specimens (6 25 mm, ? 35 mm; USNM 168629; from Isla San Lucas) in the Smithsonian collections are clearly iden- tifiable with Schmitt’s species. Nannosquilla decemspinosa (Rathbun): Recorded from Isla San Lucas, Golfo de Nicoya, and Playa Blanca by Schmitt (1940:189) and Manning (1961:30). Two of the three Costa Rican speci- mens mentioned by these authors were identified correctly; the third proved to be identifiable with Nannosquilla canica (see below).

Comments.— This species was one of the most common gonodactylids in terms of both numbers of localities frequented and individuals found in this study. Gonodactylus bahiahondensis occurs from intertidal to 20 m, and commonly is found in coral rubble and associated debris; however, it also has been recorded on rocky and sand sub- strates in the absence of coral. Juveniles as small as 7 mm have been identified, and individuals may reach 49 mm in length (24d, 35). Among the best identifying characteristics are the ar- mored bilobed knob on the oerstedii-type telson (see Manning, 1969a) and the spiniform rostrum, which are visible even on small individuals. In this study, body color of live individuals ranged from dark red to brown, purple, and green, and the species-specific meral spot used in displays of the raptorial appendage was powder blue.

SizE.—Females only known: 22 27-37 mm (Manning, 1972a); 82 25-35 mm (Manning and Reaka, 1979). Comments.—Although we have not reexam- ined the material reported by Manning (1972a) as Gonodactylus lalibertadensis, we suspect that it 1s a member of G. costaricensis rather than G. laliber- tadensis; in Table 5 (p. 110) Manning indicated that his specimen had one row of spines on the submedian teeth of the telson, a characteristic of G. costaricensis. Gonodactylus costaricensis is closely related to G. lalibertadensis, known from Ecuador, Panama, and Costa Rica, as noted above (Schmitt, 1940; Manning, 1972a, 1974). How- ever, in Panama G. lalibertadensis has a white meral spot (R. L. Caldwell, personal communi- cation), whereas the meral spots are powder blue in G. costaricensis. Body color of this chromato- phore-speckled species ranges from scarlet or mot- tled brown to emerald. Gonodactylus costaricensts occurs in a variety of habitats from the intertidal to a depth of 20 m, and is of modest body size and aggressive level.

Overall size range of males 15 to 44 mm, of females 20 to 49 mm. Comments.—Although Gonodactylus festae is re- corded from relatively few localities, this species reaches comparatively high densities in local hab- itats, as indicated in the site at Isla del Cano in this study, and particularly in the Gulf of Pan- ama, where it is the most abundant shallow-water gonodactylid (R. L. Caldwell, personal commu- nication). In contrast to the other gonodactylids, G. festae occurs predominantly in shallow water (0-15 m, and collected only intertidally in this study). Although in this study G. festae occurred only in coral rubble among boulders, it has been recorded from sandy, muddy, and rocky habitats in other localities. Body color of live individuals from Costa Rica was mottled brown, and the meral spot was deep pink. Compared to other East Pacific gonodactylids, the oerstedii-type tel- son of G. festae is broad and heavily armed with carinae and spines. This species showed signifi- cantly more aggression toward other gonodacty- lids than any other Costa Rican species (M.L.R.., personal observation), and preserved specimens frequently show damage and regenerative repair, presumably from wounds incurred in_ fights (R.B.M., personal observation).

S1zE.—12 38 mm (Mexico, Schmitt, 1940); 46 19-36 mm, 92 12-41 mm (Mexico, Manning, 1972a); 26 10-15 mm, 49 11-14 mm (this study). Overall size range of males 10 to 36 mm, of females 11 to 41 mm. ComMeEnts.—Gonodactylus stanschi is a relatively northern species, in comparison with other East Pacific Gonodactylus, and all of the individuals collected in Costa Rica were small (S15 mm). It is known to reach 41 mm in length in Mexico (66, 142), and has been recorded from shallow water (0-17 m) with coral rubble. One of the best identifying characteristics for G. stanschi is the rounded, unarmed knob on the oerstedil-type telson. This feature distinguishes even young individuals, such as those found in this study, from those of most other East Pacific species with similar telson shapes. Although the carinae on the telson of G. stanschi bear dorsal spines, these are less numerous than for other East Pacific species with armored telsons. Also, as the carinae become inflated in larger individuals, their spines are reduced to increasingly smaller tubercles. This phenomenon is especially appar- ent in the northern Gulf of California, where G. stanschi reaches larger sizes than in more southern localities (personal observations). The lack of spines on the telsons of members of these northern populations has resulted in their erroneous iden- tification in some cases as G. oerstedii, otherwise an Atlantic species that does not bear spines on the knob, on the anchor posterior to the median carina, or on the dorsal surfaces of the telson carinae (Manning, 1969a).

Overall size range of males 9 to 58 mm, of females 8 to 59 mm. Comments.—Geographically, Gonodactylus zacae is the most widespread gonodactylid in the East Pacific, and, along with Mezosquilla oculinova and Gonodactylus bahiahondensis, was one of the most 9 common species in terms of both localities occu- pied and numbers of individuals recorded in this study. A habitat generalist, G. zacae occupies coral rubble and rock habitats as well as sandy and muddy areas (with debris, shell, or algae, and without rocks and coral); may occur either alone or with other species (no other gonodactylid in this study was collected alone); and has the broadest depth distribution of any gonodactylid in this study (with published records to 64 m, deeper than any other East Pacific Gonodactylus). In Pacific Central America, G. zacae appears to occur most frequently in habitats of moderate depth (although it was found at one intertidal site on an island). This species reaches high den- sities in shallow areas in the lower Gulf of Cali- fornia (M.L.R., personal observation). Body size appears to increase at higher latitudes. Recorded individuals from Panama and Costa Rica (59d, 499) do not exceed 37 mm; those from the Gulf of California (874, 1439) reach 59 mm in length. The meral spot in populations from both Costa Rica and the Gulf of California is rose pink. Body color of live specimens in Costa Rica ranged from vermilion to mottled browns and greens. Field notes on one individual indicated “bright red; white specks on the back, white stripes across carapace and merae |sic], carpus of raptorial appendage purple, legs red, uropods red-violet, pleopods red with purple tips.” Color of the car- pus, legs, uropods, and pleopods did not vary among individuals. Body color of individuals in the lower Gulf of California ranges from mottled brown-black to various shades of green, but red has not been observed. Gonodactylus zacae from Costa Rica are less aggressive than G. festae or G. bahiahondensis, but the large individuals from the Gulf of California show high aggression (M.L.R., personal observation). The specimens (32 22.5-33.5 mm) from Puerto Culebra reported by Schmitt (1940:211) as G. oerstedu are in the Smithsonian collections - (USNM 76298). They, like two specimens from the northern Gulf of California collected by E. F. Ricketts (19 41.5, USNM 81339; 16 19.5, USNM 81349), are presumably the basis for the records 10 SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE MARINE SCIENCES of G. oerstedi in Steinbeck and Ricketts (1941: 428), and are clearly identifiable with G. zacae. Discussion of Gonodactylidae The East Pacific gonodactylids appear to de- rive from an American stock with small ocular scales, rather than from Indo-West Pacific line- ages (Manning, 1969a, 1972a). However, all are specifically distinct from their West Atlantic rel- atives, and both groups of species in turn are distinct from all Indo-West Pacific species. Gono- dactylus zacae forms one divergent lineage, with rounded anterolateral angles of the rostral plate and a long, triangular bredini-type telson without spines (Manning, 1969a, 1972a). However, G. zacae has a broader body and reaches a smaller size (59 mm) than its West Atlantic counterpart, G. bredin Manning, 1969 (75 mm; Manning, 1969a). Also, in G. bredini, the meral spot, exposed during aggressive and mating displays, is white, whereas that of G. zacae is rose pink. The second major lineage includes all of the other East Pacific species of Gonodactylus except for the Galapagan G. pumilus. These gonodactylids have relatively short, broad oerstedii-type telsons with distinct submedian teeth and dorsal spinules (Manning, 1969a, 1972a). Although the telsons of these spe- cies resemble those of G. oerstediz Hansen, G. cura- caoensis Schmitt, 1924, G. torus Manning, 1969, G. austrinus Manning, 1969, and G. petilus Manning, 1970, in the West Atlantic, all of the East Pacific species are distinguished from those in the West Atlantic by the acute and sharp rather than rounded anterolateral angles of the rostral plate. In the West Atlantic, G. oerstedi displays a ma- genta meral spot; both G. spznulosus Schmitt, 1924 and G. curacaoensis bear white meral spots (M.L.R., personal observation). In the East Pa- cific, species with oerstedii-type telsons show sev- eral colors of meral spots (G. festae deep pink, -G. bahiahondensis and G. costaricensis powder blue, G. albicinctus white); G. lalibertadensis, not recorded in this study, has a white meral spot (R. Caldwell, personal communication). Although invariant among individuals of a species, the color of the meral spot appears to be particularly labile among species within lineages. This variability is most apparent in the morphologically closely re- lated species pairs, G. zacae (pink) vs. G. bredini (white), G. festae (pink) vs. G. spinulosus (white), G. costarwcensis (blue) vs. G. lalibertadensis (white), and G. bahiahondensis (blue) vs. G. albicinctus (white), and G. oerstedii (magenta) vs. G. curacaoensis (white). All of the previously known East Pacific species of Gonodactylus were collected in this study except for G. lalibertadensis (Costa Rica, Panama, Ecua- dor; Schmitt, 1940, Manning, 1972a, 1974) and G. pumilus (Galapagos; Schmitt, 1940, Manning, 1970, 1972a). Gonodactylus pumilus is small (8-20 mm, N = 22), has an oerstedii-type telson without spines, and has been taken from coral heads in 5 m. Although most closely related to East Pacific species, G. pumilus also resembles a dwarf species in the West Atlantic (G. torus, S20 mm), which occurs sublittoraly off North Carolina and Flor- ida (Manning, 1969a, 1970). Including the two species newly described from this study (Manning and Reaka, 1979), eight species of Gonodactylus are known from the East Pacific. At least nine species of Gonodactylus occur in the West Atlantic. Addi- tionally, at least 24 species of Gonodactylus are known from Indo-West Pacific regions, and nine genera containing at least 35 species related to Gonodactylus (Chorisquilla, Echinosquilla, Gonodacty- lolus, Gonodactylopsis, Haptosquilla, Mesacturus, Me- sacturoides, Hoplosquilla, and Hoplosquilloides) also occur in the Indo-West Pacific; only two species of the related genus Protosquilla represent the gon- odactylids in the East Atlantic. Restricted by the sizes of crevices in rocks and coral which protect them from predation, these gonodactylids all are relatively small (usually less than 100 mm). The postlarvae of Gonodactylus also are small (6-9 mm), and the pelagic period lasts only about a month (Manning, 1969a; Provenzano and Manning, 1978). Gonodactylids are more aggressive and more heavily armored than other stomatopods. This study showed wide overlap in habitat and depth, with highly variable patterns of co-occurrence NUMBER 7 among particular species. Competitive exclusion from local habitats did not appear to occur among species of Gonodactylus unless this process occurred on a finer scale of micro-habitat segre- gation than that resolved here. Gonodactylus festae occurred in the most restricted habitat and was the most aggressive of the gonodactylids studied, but did not exclude other species from the shallow rubble substrates frequented by it.

CommeEnts.—Our specimens have a single black spot on the telson, encompassing the me- dian and submedian dorsal spines; in this they resemble specimens previously recorded from the Pacific coast of Panama (Manning, 1974) and Brazil (Manning, 1969a:66) rather than those from Bimini in which there is a pair of submedian dark spots. Two of three adult specimens, one 11 male and one female, from the Gulf of Mexico reported by Camp (1973) have a single spot; the third specimen, a male, has two submedian spots.

Both N. californiensis and N. canica differ from N. decem- spinosa in that they live sublittorally rather than in the intertidal zone.

Comments.— This small species resembles Nan- nosquilla decemspinosa but occurs sublittorally rather than intertidally. As pointed out by Manning and Reaka (1979: 639), one of the three specimens previously re- ported from off Costa Rica as N. decemspinosa proved to belong to this species; the other two specimens were correctly identified. Discussion of Lysiosquillidae Some lysiosquillids, especially Indo-West Pa- cific species of the genus Lyszosqulla Dana, have exceptionally broad geographic ranges. The lar- vae of lysiosquillids pass through a number of developmental stages (Alikunhi, 1967; Michel, 1970; see also Provenzano and Manning, 1978, for a list of species), and often settle at large sizes (see below), indicating extensive larval dispersal phases. Also, some lysiosquillids become larger than most other stomatopods. Two related genera that occur in the East Pacific, Lysiosquilla and Heterosquilla, include spe- cies of very large (to 300 mm or more) and moderately large (to approximately 100 mm) NUMBER 7 sizes, respectively. Two species of Lyszosquilla, L. desaussure. and L. panamica, occur along the main- land and the nearshore islands of the East Pacific. Also, in plankton samples off the Galapagos Is- lands, Michel (1970) found larvae of Lysiosquilla that differed from any of the species in the south central and western Pacific, indicating that an East Pacific species of Lyszosquilla also may occur on the offshore islands or that larvae have drifted that far offshore. Lyszosquilla desaussurei is more closely related to L. hoeveni (Herklots, 1851) in the East Atlantic than to the third species in this lineage, L. scabricauda (Lamarck, 1818), of the West Atlantic (Manning, 1977). Lysiosquilla pan- amica shows strongest affinities to L. tredecimdentata Holthuis, 1941, and related species in the Indo- West Pacific, and resembles to a lesser extent L. glabriuscula (Lamarck, 1818) and L. campechiensis Manning, 1962, in the West Atlantic (Manning, 1971a, 1972b). Postlarvae 19-34 mm in length have been reported for different species of Lyszo- squilla (Alikunhi, 1967; Michel, 1970; Manning, 1969a, 1978a). Three species of Heterosquilla occur in the East Pacific. A temperate species, [7. polydactyla, occurs on the southern tip of South America, is closely related to H/. platensis (Berg, 1900) in the South- west Atlantic, and has more distant affinities to H. tricarinata Claus, 1871, in the Indo-West Pacific (Manning, 1969a). One fragment of a specimen of H. insolitta has been reported from the Galapagos; this species also occurs in Florida, and is related to H. insignis (Kemp, 1911) in the Indo- West Pacific (Manning, 1969a). Heterosquilla mcecullochae, reported in this study, inhabits one of the widest geographic ranges known for stoma- topods (East Pacific, West Atlantic, Central At- lantic, and Indo-West Pacific; Manning 1969a, 1976b, 1977). Known postlarvae of Heterosquilla are 19-22 mm long (H. polydactyla; Manning, 1971b). The remaining two East Pacific genera re- ported in this study, Acanthosqulla and Nanno- squilla, are closely related and have moderately small body sizes (less than 70 mm and 45 mm, respectively; Manning, 1969a). Two amphi- 13 American species of Acanthosqulla are known. Acanthosquilla biminiensis occurs in Pacific Central America and in widely scattered localities in the West Atlantic. This species is related to an East Atlantic and two Indo-West Pacific species, A. septemspinosa (Miers, 1881), A. acanthocarpus (Claus, 1871), and A. multifasciata (Wood-Mason, 1895), respectively (Manning, 1969a, 1977). Though un- common, A. diguet: also is reported both from the East Pacific and West Atlantic (Florida and Bra- zil; Manning, 1969a, 1974). Postlarvae of Acan- thosquilla are moderately small (9-12 mm; Ali- kunhi, 1967; Camp, 1973; Manning, 1977). In contrast to the above lysiosquillids, Nanno- squilla is an exclusively American genus. All spe- cies are small and have relatively narrow ranges, and all of the East Pacific species are distinct from those in the West Atlantic. Eight species of Nannosqulla are known from the West Atlantic (Manning, 1969a, 1970, 1979). Including the spe- cies from this study, seven also are known from the East Pacific: N. anomala (southern California; Manning, 1967a), N. californiensis (Gulf of Califor- nia and Costa Rica; Manning, 1961, this study), N. decemspinosa (Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, and Peru; Manning, 1961, 1974), N. canica (Costa Rica; Manning and Reaka, 1979), N. chilensis (Chile; Dahl, 1954), and N. galapagensis and N. similis (Galapagos; Manning, 1972b). Nannosquilla galapagensis and N. similis resemble other East Pacific species (N. decemspinosa, N. chilensis, respec- tively; Manning, 1972b). In addition, two other genera of relatively small body size occur in the East Pacific but were not recorded in the present study. Two East Pacific species of Coronida, C. schmitti and C. glasselli, closely resemble an East Atlantic congener, C. brady: (Manning, 1976a, 1977). The genus is not represented in the West Atlantic or the Indo-West Pacific. A small related lysiosquillid known only from Cocos Island, Neocoronida cocosiana, provides one of the closest links between the East Pacific and Indo-West Pacific stomatopod fauna. This species closely resembles N. trachurus (von Mar- tens, 1881), one of the two other species in the 14 SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE MARINE SCIENCES genus, both of which occur in the Indo-West Pacific region (Manning, 1972b, 1976a, 1978b). Lysiosquillids generally dig vertical burrows in sandy environments. Some species of Nannosquilla attach free eggs (approximately 0.8 mm in di- ameter) to the mucoid and sand lining of the burrow (Manning, 1979), in contrast to the gon- odactylids, squillids, and pseudosquillids, all of which carry the compact egg mass in their max- illipeds. In this study, lysiosquillids were collected burrowing in sand in the same rock and rubble strewn sites with Gonodactylus and Metiosquilla. The lysiosquillids appeared to occur in relatively low densities, and exhibited defensive but little offen- sive fighting behavior, compared to the aggressive gonodactylids (M.L.R., personal observation).

Overall size of males 25 to 120 mm, of females 25 to 40 mm. Comments.—Postlarvae of Pseudosquillopsis mar- morata settle at relatively large sizes (25-28 mm) and grow to a relatively large size (120 mm) as adults. They occupy diverse substrates over a broad depth range (0-99 m). On the South American mainland, P. marmorata is replaced by the closely related P. lessoniz. Discussion of Pseudosquillidae Only one East Pacific species of Parasquilla, related to three West Atlantic and one East At- lantic species, has been recorded. Two Indo-West Pacific species, in a related genus, Faughnia, are known; until recently the older of the two was considered to belong to the genus Parasquilla (Manning and Makarov, 1978). All of these spe- cies occur in relatively deep, frequently muddy environments (Manning, 1969a, 1970, 1977). Pseudosquillopsis, on the other hand, is repre- sented by two species in the East Pacific, P. marmorata and P. lessoni; no species in the West Atlantic; and one species each in the East Atlantic and Indo-West Pacific (Manning, 1969b, 1972a, 1977). Little is known of the habits of these uncommonly collected species, but they appar- ently occupy diverse substrates over a broad depth range. Larval periods appear to be ex- NUMBER 7 tended. In addition to the postlarvae (25-28 mm) and juvenile (40 mm) reported for P. marmorata, postlarvae 30-33 mm of P. lesson and of P. certsu (Roux, 1828) (East Atlantic) are known (Man- ning, 1969b, 1977). An endemic species of another genus in this family, Pseudosquilla adiastalta, occurs along the mainland, from Mexico to Ecuador, and on the Tres Marias, Cocos (USNM), Clarion, Clipper- ton, and Galapagos islands in the East Pacific (Manning, 1964, 1972a, 1972d, 1976a). This spe- cies is most closely related to Indo-West Pacific species [P. oculata (Brulle, 1837), P. guttata Man- ning, 1972; Manning, 1964, 1972d]. Seven wide- spread species of Pseudosquilla occur in the Indo- West Pacific. Two of these, P. czlzata (Fabricius, 1787) and P. oculata, also occur in the East and West Atlantic. Pseudosquilla ciliata has unusually many, small eggs (Reaka, 1979). The postlarvae of P. ciliata range from 17.5-19 mm (Manning, 1968, 1969a, 1977); those of P. oculata are 24-30 mm (Manning, 1969a, 1977), and those from P. guttata are 25 mm long (Manning, 1972d). Postlarvae of Hemisquilla ensigera, another pseu- dosquillid known from East Pacific waters, but not reported in this study, are 29.5 mm in length (Manning, 1972c). These observations, together with those on the postlarvae of Pseudosquillopsis, suggest that the larvae of pseudosquillids may spend long periods in the plankton.

CommMents.—Cloridopsis dubia generally occurs on shallow mud flats on both coasts of the Amer- icas, but was taken from a relatively deep site here. This is a comparatively large species, adults attaining a length of 150 mm or more. Some morphological differences have been noted be- tween East Pacific and West Atlantic populations (Manning, 1969a:145).

Comments.—This uncommonly collected spe- cies occurs on a wide range of substrate types (including sand, mud, or among rocks) over a moderate depth range (0 to 25 m) and can toler- ate low salinities, as indicated by its occurrence in a stream in Costa Rica. Few if any stomatopods have invaded exclusively fresh-water habitats, al- though some squillids and lysiosquillids occur in 16 SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE MARINE SCIENCES estuarine conditions (examples in Manning 1969a, 1974, 1977).

Comments.—Although this species has been recorded previously only from a few widely scat- tered localities (Manning, 1972a, 1976b), Mezo- squilla oculinova was the most common species in number of localities and individuals recorded in this study. A small species less than 40 mm long, M. oculinova occupies a variety of habitats (usually holes in and under rock, shell, or coral rubble) from intertidal areas (not common) to about 30 m. These small brown squillids are lightly striped across the abdominal segments, but lack bright coloration or meral spots. Observations showed that they defend hiding sites in crevices and attack other individuals that approach them. The raptorial appendages are lowered and spread par- allel to the body, giving the animal a “sled-like”’ appearance, and the strikes are less potent and less frequent than those delivered by gonodactyl- ids. Despite its less aggressive mien, M. oculinova frequently was collected at the same site with various gonodactylids (particularly Gonodactylus zacae and G. bahiahondensis). Although individuals of Mezosquilla were more numerous in rocky hab- itats than gonodactylids, and the converse was true in coral rubble, neither Mezosquilla nor the gonodactylids appeared to exclude the other from rocks and rubble at the same site.

Hasitat.—Shallow sublittoral, including: 45 m (Schmitt, 1940); mud, 29-42 m; mangrove leaves, 3 m (Manning, 1972a); sand, 5.4 m (Man- ning, 1974); sand, rocks and coral rubble; coral rubble; 9-21 m (this study). Size.—1? 28 mm (Schmitt, 1940); 1¢ 19 mm, 12 31 mm (Manning, 1972a); 12 30 mm (Man- ning, 1974); 2¢ 27-42 mm, 12 33 mm (this study). Overall size range of males 19 to 42 mm, of females 28 to 33 mm. Comments.—This infrequently recorded but relatively broad ranging species had been taken previously only in muddy environments, but this study shows that Mevosquilla swetti also occurs in rubble habitats. Thus, M. swett2 appears to occupy a broader range of habitats with a greater depth range (0-45 m) than M. oculinova. Meiosquilla swetti also attains somewhat larger sizes (42 mm) than M. oculinova.

Overall size range of males 57 to 157 mm, of females 35 to 197 mm. Adults of Squilla aculeata calmani attain a similar size, 150 mm (Manning, 1977). Comments.—This mud-dwelling species has a moderate depth range (0 to 73 m) and reaches relatively large sizes in the East Pacific. In the East Atlantic, S. a. calmani is of similar size and has been recorded from diverse muddy and sandy habitats at depths ranging from 0 to 44 m; it also occurs in or near the mouths of rivers (Manning, 1977).

Like S. hancocki, it is restricted to the East Pacific. Discussion of Squillidae The genus Mezosquilla occurs in the East Atlan- tic and off South Africa (five species), West At- lantic (five species), and the East Pacific (three species) (Manning, 1969a, 1972a, 1977). All spe- cies are relatively small, usually less than 40 mm long (although M. swetti, M. dawsoni, and two East Atlantic species exceed that size). Morpho- logical differences differentiate East Atlantic spe- cies (claw with 5 teeth) from their American congeners (claw with 4 teeth). The East Pacific M. dawsoni resembles the West Atlantic M. quad- ridens (Bigelow, 1893), and M. swetti resembles M. schmitt (Lemos de Castro, 1955) and M. randalli (Manning, 1962) from the West Atlantic (Man- ning, 1970). The other East Pacific species, M. oculinova, lacks close ties with West Atlantic spe- cies. It is unique among stomatopods in possessing geniculate spines on the antennular peduncle and anteriorly scalloped margins (the functions of which are unknown) on the eyes (Glassell, 1942: fig. 7). The small size of American Mezosquilla may be associated with living in crevices among rocks (note that East Atlantic species may be level- bottom forms and thus differ from American species in habitat; see Lewinsohn and Manning, 1980:9), and their size, like some of their morpho- logical features, may reflect a neotenic origin (Manning, 1969a:103). As seen in this study, off Costa Rica Mezosquilla occupies coarse habitats of rock and rubble, and associates more frequently with various gonodactylids than with other squil- lids. Postlarvae of Meiosquilla, known from two West Atlantic species, settle at 12-13 mm in length (Manning, 1969a). Members of the genus Squil/a are found in the East Atlantic (three species), West Atlantic (19 species), and East Pacific (eight species). Squilla aculeata, the only species of the genus with popu- lations in more than one of the three regions, is represented by subspecies in the East Pacific and East Atlantic; in the West Atlantic this species is replaced by a relative, S. empusa Say, 1818 (Man- ning, 1969a, 1977). Squilla biformis in the East Pacific is specifically distinct from but closely related to S. intermedia Bigelow, 1893, in the West Atlantic and to S. cadenati Manning, 1970, in the East Atlantic (Manning, 1969a, 1977). Three other pairs of cognates also occur in the East Pacific and West Atlantic, respectively: S. pana- mensis—S. brasiliensis Calman, 1917; S. tiburonensis— S. lyding: Holthuis, 1959; and S. hancocki—S. decep- trix Manning, 1969 (Manning, 1969a). Although one amphi-American species of Clor- idopsis is known, the genus otherwise occurs in the Indo-West Pacific region (Manning, 1969a). Two species of Schmittius, an East Pacific genus not known to occur in Costa Rican waters, are most closely related to an Indo-West Pacific genus, Squilloides (Manning, 1972b, 1977). Also, one squillid, Clorida mawana, occurs off Baja Califor- nia as well as Hawaii and the Santa Cruz Islands in the Indo-West Pacific, providing the second instance (in addition to Heterosquilla mccullochae) of one species of stomatopod that occurs both in the East Pacific and the Indo-West Pacific (Man- ning, 1976b). Habitat and Associations The tabulation of species occurrences in major habitats, given below (Table 2), indicates that coral rubble, frequently in association with rocks, was the dominant habitat populated by the Gon- odactylidae. Most of the gonodactylids occurred in exclusively rocks and/or coral rubble habitats. Several lysiosquillids also were found in coral rubble habitats, although they dig burrows in the coral sand substrate there (see Station List, Table 1, above). Acanthosquilla also was found in sand where coral was not present. Lysiosquillids gen- erally did not occupy rocky habitats. As a family, the squillids occupied a broad range of habitats. Some species, however, including Mezosquilla ocu- linova and M. swetti, were found in rock and coral rubble habitats, in this respect resembling gono- dactylids. These species lived in crevices among NUMBER 7 TasLe 2.—Number of individuals collected from major habitat types (many sites in which coral rubble was the dominant habitat characteristic also contained rocks and pockets of sand; asterisk (*) by samples from sand indicate that rocks also were present nearby; PL = postlarvae; juvs = juveniles) : Rock- Coral Species Mud Sand oil ARNT GONODACTYLIDAE Gonodactylus albicinctus 2 1 G. bahiahondensis 4 24 G. costaricensis 3 5 G. festae 15 G. stanschi 2 + G. zacae 1 26 gonodactylid PL-juvs 3 3 Total 0 0) 15 78 LysIOSQUILLIDAE Heterosquilla mccullochae 2s 4 Nannosquilla californiensis 6 N. canica Dis Acanthosquilla biminiensis Da NE Lystosquilla desaussurer (surface, 1) Total 0) 7 0) 10 SQUILLIDAE Mezosquilla oculinova 32 29 M. swetts 3 M. dawsoni 3 Squilla aculeata 1 S. hancockt 7 S. panamensis 22 Cloridopsis dubia 1 squillid PL-juvs 5 2 1 Total 39 0 34 33 PsEUDOSQUILLIDAE Pseudosquillopsis marmorata 1 Parasquilla similis 1 Total 2 0) 0) 0) Total individuals 41 7 49 121 Total localities collected 6 2 4 and under rocks, rather than in holes in coral. Other squillids, including M. dawson, occupied muddy habitats exclusively. The pseudosquillids (including representatives of Parasquilla and Pseu- dosquillopsis, but not Pseudosquilla!) were collected also only in muddy environments. Overall, when compared to the number of collections made in each type of habitat, stoma- topods were recorded most frequently from coral rubble habitats. Of 20 species collected, 12 oc- curred in coral rubble or rock (or sand associated with rubble and rock), seven in mud, and one in sand without rubble. Within the rock-rubble en- vironment, different species occupied different micro-habitats. Numbers of individuals in Gono- dactylus were higher in predominantly coral rub- ble (78) than rock-shell (15) habitats; individuals of Mezosquilla oculinova occurred equally frequently in coral rubble (32) and rock-shell (29) habitats (though collections were made in seven and four localities of these habitats, respectively); thus, Mewosquilla was more strongly associated with 20 SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE MARINE SCIENCES rocky environments than was Gonodactylus. Lysio- squillids used the sandy substrate of these rock and rubble habitats. The number of times different species were collected at different depths is shown in Table 3. Like the gonodactylids, the lysioquillids and Mezo- quilla occurred in relatively shallow depths, but mud-dwelling squillids (except M. dawson) and pseudosquillids were found only in relatively deep water. Fourteen species were collected in habitats shallower than 25 m, six species occurred exclu- sively in deeper water. During the study, 218 stomatopods were col- lected at 19 localities. Mezosquilla oculinova was the most common species, occurring in eight (42%) of these sites (61 individuals = 28% of total collected); it occupied eight of 11 sites (73%) with rocks and coral rubble, and eight of 13 sites (62%) with depths between 0 and 25 m. Gonodactylus bahiahondensis and G. zacae each were collected from seven localities (34% of total sites, 64% of rock and coral rubble sites, 54% of sites with depths between 0 and 25 m; 28 and 27 individuals = 14% and 13% of total). Gonodactylus stanschi, G. costaricensis, Heterosquilla mcecullochae, and Mezo- squilla swetti each occurred in 3-4 sites (16%-21% of total sites, 27%-36% of sites with rock and rubble, 23%-31% of sites shallower than 25 m), Tasie 3.—Number of individuals collected at different depths (m) Species [ 0-1 2-10 WNP AGFHO.

Gonodactylus festae occurred at only one intertidal site but was the fourth most common species in number of individuals (15 = 17% of total number of individuals). Postlarval (PL) and juvenile gonodactylids were collected among rocks and coral rubble at depths between 0 and 17 m. Gonodactylus postlar- vae or juveniles’ were found with adults of the genera Gonodactylus, Meiosquilla, Heterosquilla, Acan- thosquilla, and Nannosquilla at Isla del Cano, but in one locality (Isla Salera, station 464) only small Gonodactylus were found. Squillid larvae and postlarvae were collected alone at 37 and 62 m on mud (stations 451, 484); in mud, shell, and rocks at 20 m with Gonodactylus (station 447); and in rock, sand, and coral rubble at 10-15 m with members of Gonodactylus, Mevosquilla, and Hetero- squilla (Isla del Cano). The only juveniles of Mezo- squilla taken occurred with their adults (station 464). These results suggest that juvenile Gonodac- tylus generally settle in habitats typically occupied by adults, though in one locality no adults were obtained. The juveniles of squillids occupied more diverse habitats. As shown in Table 1, species were collected more frequently in association with several others than alone. The highest numbers of co-occurring species were recorded in coral rubble and rock habitats (gonodactylids, most _ lysiosquil- lids, Meiosquilla); as many as eight of the 12 species recorded from these habitats occurred to- gether. In general, however, the number of species found together at one site varied considerably, indicating relatively loose associations between given species. The frequency with which particular species co-occurred with others in different localities is summarized in tabular form here (Table 4). Strong overlap occurred among the gonodactyl- ids, most lysiosquillids, and Mezosquilla. The mud- dwelling species showed similar patterns of asso- ciation. Species were likely to occur with any of the other species in their habitat type, and the species recorded from the most sites (Mezosquilla 21 oculinova, Gonodactylus bahiahondensis, G. zacae) oc- curred together most frequently. When numbers of individuals co-occurring with other species are considered, the same trends are apparent (these data are available upon request). These results suggest that species co-occurrence is controlled more by general habitat type and abundance than by preferential associations among particu- lar species. Zoogeographical Relationships of East Pacific Stomatopoda The East Pacific stomatopod fauna demon- strates a high degree of endemism, even though these crustaceans produce pelagic larvae that spend from several weeks to several months in the plankton (Alikunhi, 1967; Michel, 1970; Pyne, 1972; Provenzano and Manning, 1978). All eight species of the family Gonodactylidae are endemic to the East Pacific. Of the lysiosquillids, both species of Lyszosquilla, all seven species of Nanno- squilla, both species of Coronda, and the single species of Neocoronida occur only in the East Pacific region. However, two species of Heterosquilla (H. msolita and a south temperate species, H. polydac- tyla) also occur in the West Atlantic, and one species (/7. mccullochae) is circumtropical. The two species of Acanthosquilla (A. biminiensis, A. diguett) occur both in the East Pacific and the West Atlantic. Of the squillids, all three species of Meiosquilla are endemic to the East Pacific, as are the two species of the endemic genus Schmittius and seven species of Squilla. Cloridopsis dubia, how- ever, 1s found in both the East Pacific and the West Atlantic; one species of Squzlla, S. aculeata, is represented by subspecies in the East Pacific and East Atlantic; and Clorida mauiana occurs in the East Pacific, Hawaii, and the Santa Cruz Islands in the Indo-West Pacific. Subspecies of another squillid, Pterygosquilla armata, occur in temperate waters in Argentina and Chile, New Zealand, and South Africa (Manning, 1969c). Of the pseu- dosquillids, one species of Parasquilla, two species of Pseudosquillopsis, and one species of Pseudosquilla are known only from the East Pacific, but sub- No ibe) SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE MARINE SCIENCES Tas_e 4.—Frequencies with which species co-occur in different localities (aumbers in boxheads refer to species in left column; N = no other species) Species 123456789 1011 12131415 1617 18 19 202] 22.N GONODACTYLIDAE 1.

Parasquilla similis | — st ps De nh WONWDH wre species of Hemisquilla ensigera occur in the north- east Pacific (southern California, Mexico, and Panama), the southeast Pacific (Chile), and off eastern Australia (Manning, 1972a, 1972c, 1974). Two species of Eurysquilla (Eurysquillidae) are endemic to the East Pacific, and the genus occurs also in the East and West Atlantic and in the Indo-West Pacific (Manning, 1970, 1972a, 1977). Overall, 38 of the 50 East Pacific species (76%) are specifically distinct from relatives elsewhere, and 10 species (0/8 gonodactylids, 5/17 lysio- squillids, 4/17 squillids, 1/6 pseudosquillids, 0/2 eurysquillids) occur outside of the confines of the East Pacific region. However, among the 45 trop- ical and subtropical East Pacific stomatopods, only seven species (16%) (0/8 gonodactylids, 4/ 16 lysiosquillids, 3/15 squillids, 0/4 pseudosquil- lids, 0/2 eurysquillids) are shared with other re- gions. Several species in the East Pacific are shared with the West Atlantic (Heterosquilla mccullochae, H. polydactyla, H. insolita, Acanthosquilla bimimensis, A. digueti, Cloridopsis dubia, and Pterygosquilla ar- mata). Two of these (Heterosqulla polydactyla, NUMBER 7 Pterygosquilla armata) are south temperate species connected to the West Atlantic via Cape Horn, and Heterosquilla mccullochae is circumtropical. The record of Heterosquilla insolita in the Galapagos Islands is based upon a damaged specimen; if it is not conspecific, it is unquestionably closely related to the West Atlantic species (Manning, 1969a). Therefore, five (ca. 11%) of the 45 warm- water species of the East Pacific also occur in the West Atlantic. In addition, many species endemic to the East Pacific (e.g., representatives of Gono- dactylus, Nannosquilla, Metosquilla, Squilla) show close affinities to West Atlantic species. Including shared and closely related species, 60% of the East Pacific species have closest affinities to West At- lantic species. Several taxa, including Coronis and Platysquilla (Lysiosquillidae), are represented by species in the West Atlantic but not in the East Pacific (Manning, 1969a, 1977). Two species, Bathysquilla microps (Manning, 1961) (Bathysquillidae) and Odontodactylus brevirostris (Miers, 1884) (Gonodac- tylidae), inhabit the West Atlantic and Indo-West Pacific (both have been taken off Hawaii) but not the East Pacific (Manning, 1969a; Manning and Struhsaker, 1976) or the East Atlantic (Man- ning, 1977). Five (ca. 11%) tropical East Pacific species either resemble East Atlantic more than they do West Atlantic relatives, or a West Atlantic cog- nate is absent (*): Squalla aculeata aculeata—S. acu- leata calmam; Lysvosquilla desaussurei—L. hoevenii; Co- ronida glasselli—C. bradyi (*); Pseudosquillopsis les- sonu—P. certs (*); Eurysquilla solan—E. galatheae Manning, 1977 and E. leloeuffi Manning, 1977 (Manning, 1977). In contrast to the Atlantic affinities discussed above, two species (Heterosquilla mccullochae and Clorida mauiana) occur in both the East Pacific and the Indo-West Pacific, and several other East Pacific taxa show strong Indo-West Pacific affinities: Lystosquilla panamica—L. tredecimdentata; Neocoronida cocosiana—N. trachurus; Pseudosquilla ada- stalta—P. oculata and P. guttata; Schmittius peruvianus and S. politus—Squilloides spp. Therefore, about 16% of the warm-water stomatopods from the 23 East Pacific have closest affinities to Indo-West Pacific taxa. Also, two cold-water species in the East Pacific (Hemisquilla ensigera and Pterygosquilla armata) are represented by different subspecies in Indo-West Pacific localities (Manning, 1977). Moderate body sizes and long larval lives char- acterize many of these genera. Dispersal may account for the Indo-West Pacific elements in the East Pacific stomatopod fauna; however, some species cross the central Pacific expanse and reach only the offshore islands of the East Pacific. All of the species of stomatopods reported in the present collections, and most of those from the East Pacific, occur along the mainland and nearshore islands. Of 50 East Pacific species, only nine have been recorded from the more remote offshore islands: Gonodactylus zacae, G. pumilus, Nan- nosquilla galapagensis, N. similis, Coronida schmittz, Neocoronida cocosiana, Heterosquilla insolita, Pseudo- squillopsts marmorata, and Pseudosquilla adiastalta (Manning, 1969a, 1970, 1972a,b, 1976a); this does not include the larva of Lysiosquilla sp. re- ported from the Galapagos by Michel (1970). Eight of the nine occur in the Galapagos Islands. Three species (Gonodactylus pumilus, Nannosquilla galapagensis, N. similis) are endemic to the Gala- pagos Islands, and one (Neocoronida cocosiana) oc- curs only off Cocos Island. Of the nine species known from the offshore islands, five (Gonodactylus zacae, G. pumilus, Nannosquilla galapagensis, N. simi- lis, and Heterosquilla insolita) show strong Ameri- can affinities. Only two of the nine, Pseudosquilla adwastalta (widespread on the offshore islands, see below) and Neocoronida cocosiana, appear to be closely related to Indo-West Pacific lineages. The following stomatopod species are known from the offshore islands in the East Pacific; endemic species are marked with an asterisk (*).

Many of these active and aggressive species show broadly overlapping ranges. However, even though sym- patric, species may rarely encounter one another if they occupy different habitats. Analyzing the patterns of habitat use and frequency of co-oc- currence of stomatopods in 19 localities in Pacific Costa Rica, we found that most species are asso- ciated with certain types of habitats. Upon a background of what is known of the biology of particular taxa, we examined the zoogeographic affinities of the East Pacific stomatopods. Members of the Gonodactylidae inhabit holes and crevices, primarily in coral rubble and some- what less frequently in rocks. Five of the six species recorded in this study were found at depths of less than 25 m. Gonodactylus festae had the narrowest depth distribution, and G. zacae had the broadest (0-64 m) (as well as the broadest geographic range) of the East Pacific gonodactyl- ids. Members of this family were found either alone (only G. zacae) or with up to eight other species. Variable patterns of co-occurrence indi- cated loose associations between species and cor- related with relative abundance. Gonodactylus zacae and G. bahiahondensis were the most abundant stomatopods recorded (along with Mezosquilla ocu- linova). Juvenile gonodactylids occurred in habi- tats appropriate for adults. Postlarvae are rela- tively small, and pelagic periods last for about a month in Gonodactylus. Although with American rather than Indo-West Pacific affinities, the eight East Pacific gonodactylids all are specifically dis- tinct from their West Atlantic congeners. The color of the meral spots, used in displays of the raptorial appendage during fighting and mating, varies considerably in different species of closely related lineages. Lysiosquillids burrow in sand, and in this study were found in association with coral rubble and rocks at the same sites with gonodactylids and some squillids. Also, the lysiosquillids were found in moderately shallow water (less than 25 m) and occurred in variable associations with up to eight other species. In contrast to the gonodactylids, the lysiosquillids exhibit little aggressive behav- lor. Two species of Lyszosquilla, two of Coronida, one of Neocoronida, and seven of Nannosquilla are endemic to the East Pacific. Species of Coronida and one Lyszosquilla show affinities to species in the East Atlantic; Neocoronida and the other spe- cies of Lyszosquilla are related to Indo-West Pacific species. Nannosquilla is American. However, of the two East Pacific species of Heterosquilla that occur in warm water, one Is circumtropical and one also occurs in the West Atlantic. Also, both East Pa- cific species of Acanthosquilla are known from the West Atlantic as well. Planktonic larval periods probably are relatively long; the sizes of postlar- vae vary from moderately small (Acanthosquilla) to large (Lystosquilla and Heterosquilla). Squillid species occupied the most variable habitat types. Two species, Mezosquilla oculinova and M. swetti, were strongly associated with crev- ices in rock and, to a lesser extent, coral rubble at less than 25 m; a third species, M. dawsoni, was found in a stream on an intertidal mudflat. Fol- lowed by Gonodactylus zacae and G. bahiahondensis, Metosquilla oculinova was the most abundant sto- matopod found in Costa Rica. In accordance with their habitat type, M. oculinova and M. swetti were found with one to eight other species of gonodactylids and lysiosquillids. Again, species associations were loose and related to relative NUMBER 7 abundance; the most frequent species associations at different localities were M. oculinova, Gonodacty- lus zacae, and G. bahiahondensis. Meiosquilla oculinova exhibited moderate aggressive behavior. The re- maining four species of squillids and two species of pseudosquillids occurred, frequently together, in deep (55-73 m), muddy environments. Larval and juvenile squillids were found in a diverse array of habitats, depths, and species associations. Pelagic periods of squillid larvae can last a num- ber of months, and larvae settle at small to mod- erate (Mezosquilla) or moderate to large (Squzlla) sizes. With Atlanto-American affinities, the three species of Mezosquilla and seven of the eight species of Squilla occur only in the East Pacific. However, one species of Squzlla also is represented by a subspecies in the East Atlantic, and at least four species show close relationships to West Atlantic species. One species of Cloridopsis is known both from the West Atlantic and East Pacific. One species of Clorida occurs both in the East Pacific and the Indo-West Pacific, and two species of an 25 endemic genus, Schmittius, have Indo-West Pacific affinities. Although the pseudosquillids have large postlarvae and probably have long larval periods, most species are endemic to the East Pacific. However, they show strong affinities to East Atlantic (Pseudosquillopsis), West Atlantic (Parasquilla), and Indo-West Pacific (Pseudo- squilla) species. Thirty eight (76%) of the 50 East Pacific sto- matopods are endemic, and 45 of the 50 are warm-water species. Five of the latter are shared with the West Atlantic (11%), one (though sub- specifically distinct) with the East Atlantic (2%), and two with the Indo-West Pacific (4%). Includ- ing shared and closely related species, 60% of those occurring in the East Pacific show closest affinities to West Atlantic taxa, 11% are most closely related to East Atlantic taxa, and 16% have closest ties to the Indo-West Pacific stoma- topod fauna. Nine of the 50 East Pacific species occur on offshore islands where three are endemic, six show strong American affinities, and two are related to Indo-West Pacific species.

Requests for special treatment—use of color, foldouts, casebound covers, etc.—require, on the same form, the added approval of designated committees or museum directors. Review of manuscripts and art by the Press for requirements of series format and style, completeness and clarity of copy, and arrangement of all material, as outlined below, will govern, within the judgment of the Press, acceptance or rejection of the manuscripts and art. Copy must be typewritten, double-spaced, on one side of standard white bond paper, with 114” margins, submitted as ribbon copy (not carbon or xerox), in loose sheets (not stapled or bound), and accompanied by original art. Minimum acceptable length is 30 pages. Front matter (preceding the text) should include: title page with only title and author and no other information, abstract page with author/title/series/etc., following the establish- ed format, table of contents with indents reflecting the heads and structure of the paper. First page of text should carry the title and author at the top of the page andan unnum- bered footnote at the bottom consisting of author’s name and professional mailing address. Center heads of whatever level should be typed with initial caps of major words, with extra space above and Delow the head, but with no other preparation (such as all caps or underline). Run-in paragraph heads should use period/dashes or colons as necessary. Tabulations within text (lists of data, often in parallel columns) can be typed on the text page where they occur, but they should not contain rules or formal, numbered table heads. Formal tables (numbered, with table heads, boxheads, stubs, rules) should be sub- mitted as camera copy, but the author must contact the series section of the Press for edito- rial attention and preparation assistance before final typing of this matter. Taxonomic keys in natural history papers should use the alined-couplet form in the zoology and paleobiology series and the multi-level indent form in the botany series. If cross-referencing is required between key and text, do not include page references within the key, but number the keyed-out taxa with their corresponding heads in the text. Synonymy in the zoology and paleobiology series must use the short form (taxon, author, year:page), with a full reference at the end of the paper under ‘‘Literature Cited.” For the botany series, the long form (taxon, author, abbreviated journal or book title, volume, Page, year, with no reference in the “‘Literature Cited’’) is optional. Footnotes, when few in number, whether annotative or bibliographic, should be typed at the bottom of the text page on which the reference occurs. Extensive notes must appear at the end of the text in a nctes section. If bibliographic footnotes are required, use the short form (author/brief title/page) with the full reference in the bibliography. Text-reference system (author/year/page within the text, with the full reference in a “Literature Cited’”’ at the end of the text) must be used in place of bibliographic footnotes in all scientific series and is strongly recommended in the history and technology series: “(Jones, 1910:122)” or “*... . Jones (1910:122).” Bibliography, depending upon use, is termed ‘‘References,’’ ‘‘Selected References,” or “Literature Cited.’’ Spell out book, journal, and article titles, using initial caps in all major words. For capitalization of titles in foreign languages, follow the national practice of each language. Underline (for italics) book and journal titles. Use the colon-parentheses system for volume/number/page citations: ‘‘10(2):5—-9.’"" For alinement and arrangement of elements, follow the format of the series for which the manuscript is intended. Legends for illustrations must not be attached to the art nor included within the text but must be submitted at the end of the manuscript—with as many legends typed, double- spaced, to a page as convenient. Illustrations must not be included within the manuscript but must be submitted sepa- rately as original art (not copies). All illustrations (photographs, line drawings, maps, etc.) can be intermixed throughout the printed text. They should be termed Figures and should be numbered consecutively. If several ‘‘figures’’ are treated as components of a single larger figure, they should be designated by lowercase italic letters (underlined in copy) on the illus- tration, in the legend, and in text references: ‘‘Figure 9b.”’ If illustrations are intended to be printed separately on coated stock following the text, they should be termed Plates and any components should be lettered as in figures: ‘‘Plate 9b.’’ Keys to any symbols within an illustration should appear on the art and not in the legend. A few points of style: (1) Do not use periods after such abbreviations as ‘‘mm, ft, yds, USNM, NNE, AM, BC.”’ (2) Use hyphens in spelled-out fractions: “‘two-thirds.”’ (3) Spell out numbers “‘one’’ through “‘nine’’ in expository text, but use numerals in all other cases if possible. (4) Use the metric system of measurement, where possible, instead of the English system. (5) Use the decimal system, where possible, in place of fractions. (6) Use day/month/year sequence for dates: ‘‘9 April 1976.’’ (7) For months in tabular list- ings or data sections, use three-letter abbreviations with no periods: ‘Jan, Mar, Jun,” etc. Arrange and paginate sequentially EVERY sheet of manuscript—including ALL front matter and ALL legends, etc., at the back of the text—in the following order: (1) title page, (2) abstract, (3) table of contents, (4) foreword and/or preface, (5) text, (6) appendixes, (7) notes, (8) glossary, (9) bibliography, (10) index, (11) legends. fal mmm ss WI ll 482
