Copepoda (Poecilostomatoida: Anchimolgidae) Associated with the Scleractinian Coral Gardineroseris planulata (Dana) from the Moluccas

摘要

Three new species of poecilostomatoid copepods are described as associates of the scleractinian coral Gardineroseris planulata (Dana) from the Moluccas: Sociellus geminus n. sp., O.dontomolgm mucosus n sp. and O. unioviger n. sp. The genus Sociellus is transferred from the Rhynchomolgidae to the Anchimolgidae. The previously described four species of the genus Paramolgus (P. angmtus, P. eparmatoides, P. gibberulm, and P. setellus) of the Rhynchomolgidae, associated with Gardineroseris planulata, aretransferred as well to the genus Anchimolgus in the Anchimolgidae.
