摘要

The present report on Ophionereis diabloensis, new species, and Ophionereis (= Ophiodesmus) amphilogus, doubles the number of Ophionereis species known from California waters and the number of brooding species known in the genus Ophionereis. Ophionereis diabloensis reaches at least 6 mm in disk diameter, with arms 17 mm in length. It is similar in appearance to O. amphilogus but for its more irregularly arranged and exposed disk scales, more robust arms and thick, truncate arm spines, larger accessory dorsal arm plates, and distinctively shaped oral shields. The description of O. diabloensis is based on material from Diablo Cove, California, the only locality where the species is presently found. Evidence is presented, however, that individuals of O. diabloensis, mistakenly identified as Ophionereis eurybrachiplax, formerly occurred at Pacific Grove, California. Ophionereis amphilogus is reported from the Baja California coast and from the California Channel Islands, extending the known range of the species by approximately 800 km. Most specimens of O. amphilogus, and many of O. diabloensis were brooding embryos. Individuals of O. diabloensis contained up to 8 embryos, at different stages of development and had no more than one embryo per bursa. The largest embryos, 1.4 mm disk diameter, with approximately 15 arm joints, were similar in size to the smallest free-living individuals collected in the field. Both species are slow moving. Ophionereis diabloensis lives in algal turf in the intertidal zone, and may be locally abundant, with a population density estimated at 20/m2. Ophionereis amphilogus is found subtidally in kelp holdfasts. That two of the four Californian species of Ophionereis have been overlooked and are so little known, is illustrative of the general lack of study and of rigorous, systematic surveys of Eastern Pacific echinoderms.
