Spaniomolgus is a symbiotic genus of copepods of the poecilostomatoid family Rhynchomolgidae and is known to be associated with shallow-water reef-building hermatypic corals. Three species of this genus were previously found only in washings of Acropora and Stylophora in northern Madagascar. Four coral morphotypes of Stylophorapistillata (Pocilloporidae) were collected by SCUBA at 1 to 28 m depth in five sites in the Saudi Arabian Red Sea in 2013. Copepods found on these colonies were studied using light, confocal and scanning electron microscopy. Five new, and one known, species of the genus Spaniomolgus were discovered in washings and inside the galls of the hermatypic coral S.pistillata. The description of these new species (Spaniomolgusglobussp. n., S.stylophorussp. n., S.dentatussp. n., S.maculatussp. n., and S.acutussp. n.) and a key for the identification of all of its congeners is provided herein.

 Introduction

Rhynchomolgidae Humes and Stock, 1973 is one of the largest families of poecilostomatoid copepods comprising over 250 species living in association with various marine invertebrates (Ho and Kim 2001; Boxshall and Halsey 2004). There are 44 genera in the family Rhynchomolgidae with the genus Doridicola Leydig, 1853 being the largest in the family and comprising 52 species (Ho and Ivanenko 2013, Walter and Boxshall 2018). Thirty-eight genera of the family include only up to six species. One of these small genera, Spaniomolgus Humes & Stock, 1973, consists of three species: the type species S.compositus (Humes & Frost, 1964), S.geminus (Humes & Ho, 1968) and S.crassus (Humes & Ho, 1968), all previously attributed to the genus Lichomolgus Thorell, 1859. Spaniomolgus are found in association with scleractinians of the genera Acropora Oken, 1815, Seriatopora Lamarck, 1816, and Stylophora Schweigger, 1820 from Madagascar (Humes and Ho 1968, Humes and Stock 1972, 1973). There have been no records of Spaniomolgus since the revision of the lichomolgoid complex (Humes and Stock 1972, 1973) and until the discovery of an unidentified species of Spaniomolgus living in modified polyps (galls) of Stylophorapistillata Esper, 1797 in the Red Sea (Ivanenko et al. 2014, Shelyakin et al. 2018).

Branching corals of Stylophorapistillata are widely distributed around the Indo-Pacific and are phenotypically plastic, i.e., morphological variation across different habitats, depths, and geographic regions can be observed. The latest study based on seven DNA loci demonstrated that Stylophora corals from the Red Sea belong to a single molecular clade, and that morphospecies of Stylophorapistillata, S.danae Milne Edwards & Haime, 1850, S.subseriata (Ehrenberg, 1834), and S.kuehlmanni Scheer & Pillai, 1983 from the Red Sea are now considered as synonyms of S.pistillata (Arrigoni et al. 2016).

This paper describes five new species of Spaniomolgus living in symbiosis with four morphotypes of Stylophorapistillata from the Red Sea. Comments on the relationships with other congeners are given, and a key to the species of the genus Spaniomolgus is presented.

 Materials and methods

The sampling was undertaken in accordance with the policies and procedures of the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). Permissions for KAUST to undertake the research were obtained from the appropriate governmental agencies of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Four colonies of Stylophorapistillata from the Thuwal reefs in the central Red Sea and one colony from the reef close to Al Lith in the southern Red Sea were sampled (distance between the sampling locations is about 280 km) (Fig. 1, Table 1). The map was created using Python scripts (Jones et al. 2001), labels were included using the software Adobe Photoshop CS4 (Adobe Systems, San Jose, CA, USA). The coral colonies were collected using a hammer and chisel, and encased in sealed plastic bags while snorkeling and SCUBA diving at depths ranging from 1 to 28 m. The coral samples were rinsed on board as follows: 96% ethanol was added to each sample until the overall solution reached a concentration 10% to relax the animals attached to the coral. After 15 minutes, the samples were shaken, and the water with the detached symbionts was filtered through a 100 μm sieve. Copepods were sorted under a Carl Zeiss™ Stemi 2000-C stereomicroscope. Coral colonies were also examined for copepods in modified corallites and galls. Galls were dissected, and copepods were extracted from inhabited polyps using entomological needles and preserved in 96% ethanol.

In the lab, copepods were dissected in lactic acid and then stained with Chlorazol black E (Sigma C-1144) for contrast enhancement (Ivanenko and Defaye 2004). Specimens were then examined as temporary mounts in lactophenol and later sealed with Entellan as permanent mounts. The coral hosts (Fig. 2) were bleached in sodium hypochlorite for 48 h, rinsed with fresh water, dried and photographed. The copepods were kept in 2 mL vials in 96% ethanol with a small drop of glycerol.

For confocal microscopy, exoskeletons were individually transferred to distilled water and then stained with Fuchsin (Ivanenko et al. 2012; Corgosinho et al. 2018). The copepods were inspected using an inverted Nikon A1 confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM, Nikon Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) at Lomonosov Moscow State University, using a 40× oil immersion objective and lasers with wavelengths of 532 and 640 nm. The laser power was set to 60%. The amplitude offset and detector gain were manually adjusted. CLSM image stacks were obtained throughout the whole animal, and the scanning software was adjusted to perform the optimal number of scans. Image size was set for 2000×2000 dpi and the reconstruction of the external anatomy was obtained by maximum projection. The final images were adjusted for contrast and brightness using the software Adobe Photoshop CS4.

All figures were prepared using a Leica DM5500B differential interference microscope equipped with a camera lucida. The armature formula of swimming legs 1–4 follows Sewell (1949), spines are indicated by Roman numerals and setae by Arabic numerals. Mean body length (MBL) of copepods was measured from the anterior margin of the rostrum to the posterior margin of the caudal rami.

For scanning electron microscopy (SEM), copepods were dehydrated through increasing ethanol concentrations, critical point dried, mounted on aluminium stubs, coated with gold, and examined in a CamScan SEM (CamScan Electron Optics Ltd, London, UK) at the Faculty of Biology of Lomonosov Moscow State University. The bleached fragments of corals were mounted on metal stands using glue, coated with a conductive gold film and examined with the same SEM.

Type specimens of copepods are deposited in the collection of the Zoological Museum, Moscow Lomonosov State University (ZMMU). The coral hosts are deposited in the collection of King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST).

 Results

Five new and one described species of the genus Spaniomolgus were found in washings and inside of polyps of four morphotypes of the hermatypic coral Stylophorapistillata collected from five sites (Table 1, Fig. 1) at depths ranging from 1 to 28 m. The description of the five new species (Spaniomolgusglobus sp. n., S.stylophorus sp. n., S.dentatus sp. n., S.maculatus sp. n., and S.acutus sp. n.) is provided herein.

 Remarks.

The publication by Humes and Stock in 1972 of a list of new taxa, including Spaniomolgus and Rhynchomolgidae, without diagnoses of the new taxa is considering by us as interrupted and continued in 1973 (ICZN 1999: Art. 10.1.1); therefore the publication date of the genus becomes 1973.

 Discussion Taxonomy

Designation of the genus Spaniomolgus Humes & Stock, 1973 was based on three previously known species of Lichomolgus copepods associated with scleractinian corals: the type species S.compositus, S.geminus, and S.crassus from northern Madagascar (Humes and Frost 1964, Humes and Ho 1968). The finding of five new species and S.crassus in the Red Sea is the first record since 1968. Although Spaniomolgus is a rather homogenous genus, there are differences among its eight species.

The body has a broadened and thickened prosome in S.crassus and S.globus, but it is moderately widened, and the epimeral areas of the second and third pedigerous somites are slightly rectangular or angular in S.stylophorus, S.geminus, S.compositus, S.dentatus, S.maculatus, and S.acutus. Another key character to separate the species of Spaniomolgus is the body organization. For example, the first pedigerous somite is clearly set off from the cephalosome in S.crassus and S.stylophorus, incompletely separated from the cephalosome by an indistinct furrow in S.geminus, S.compositus, and S.globus, and completely fused to the cephalosome in S.dentatus, S.maculatus, and S.acutus.

The antennules are very similar in all eight species, with the only difference being the presence of an extra seta in the sixth segment in S.globus, S.stylophorus, S.dentatus, S.maculatus, and S.acutus.

The antenna of all species, except for S.maculatus and S.acutus, have the same armature formula (1,1,3+2+claw). Spaniomolgusmaculatus and S.acutus have a reduced armature of 1,1,2+1+claw and 1,1,2+2+claw, respectively. The length ratio of the second and the third segments of the antenna can be also used for species delimitation. For example, the length ratio of the two distal antennary segments is 1.1:1 in S.crassus, S.geminus, S.compositus, and S.dentatus, but 1.5:1 in S.stylophorus, 1.7:1 in S.maculatus, 2.1:1 in S.globus (2.1: 1), and 1:1.2 in S.acutus.

The maxillules of S.globus, S.stylophorus, S.dentatus, S.maculatus, and S.acutus are represented by a single segment bearing a small seta and three hyaline prolongations without evident articulation. However, according to Humes and Frost (1964) and Humes and Ho (1968), the maxillule shows four hyaline prolongations without articulation in S.geminus, S.compositus, and S.crassus. The condition of the maxillulary projections of the latter three species needs to be reassessed because the articulation of one of these elements was probably overlooked.

As for the maxilliped, small interspecific differences in the third claw-like segment were detected. The margin of the claw has three very small subterminal spinules in S.geminus, S.compositus, and S.crassus, but it is smooth and with an apical pore in S.stylophorus and S.maculatus. The distal half of the claw’s margin is denticulated in S.globus and S.dentatus; but with as single subapical tooth in S.acutus.

The armature of the legs is the same for the eight species; only the ornamentation of the fourth Sixth leg varies among the species. The exopodal spines have barbed lamellae in S.geminus, S.compositus, S.dentatus, S.maculatus, and S.acutus, but they are smooth in S.crassus, S.globus, and S.stylophorus. With respect to the terminal spines of the second endopodal segment, they are hyaline and smooth in S.acutus and S.crassus, but serrated in S.stylophorus, S.dentatus, S.maculatus, S.compositus, and S.geminus. In S.globus the outer terminal spine is serrated and the inner one is smooth.

The genital double-somite, generally rather narrow, can be present in three different shapes. In S.crassus, S.compositus, and S.geminus it is wider in its anterior third than in its posterior two-thirds; it is longer than wide with almost parallel margins in S.dentatus, S.maculatus and S.acutus, and completely square and bell-shaped in S.globus and S.stylophorus (wider in its posterior part).

The fifth Sixth leg in all species shows a long, slender and recurved segment of exopod with two apical setae. The length:width ratio of the free segment varies among the species, it is 10.5 times as long as wide in S.geminus, 9.3 times in S.acutus, 7.9 times in S.compositus, 7.6 times in S.maculatus, 6.7 times in S.globus, 6.3 times in S.crassus, 5.0 times in S.stylophorus, and 4.2 times in S.dentatus. Noteworthy, the outer basal seta of is minute in S.globus and has not been observed in S.dentatus.

The length:width ratio of the caudal rami, characteristically elongated in all the species, is also variable. The caudal rami are 9.1 times as long as wide in S.geminus, 5.0 times in S.compositus and S.maculatus, between 4.0 and 4.5 times in S.globus, S.stylophorus and S.dentatus, 3.7 times in S.acutus, and 2.8 times in S.crassus. The eight species present six terminal setae that are characteristically short and naked, except for S.acutus in which the dorsal seta has not been observed.
