Callomyzon macrocephalus View in CoL n. sp. ( Figs. 27-29 View Fig View Fig View Fig )

Material examined. Seven $$ 6♂♂ from a sponge epibiotic on the scallop Azumapecten farreri (Jones and Preston, 1904) , at Nogok (37°12′02″N, 129°20′38″E) in Samcheok, Gangwon­do, 01 July 2008. Holotype ($, NIBRIV0000216720 ), allotype (♂, NIBRIV00002167 21), and paratypes (4$$, 4♂♂, NIBRIV0000216722 ) have been deposited in NIBR, Incheon, Korea. Dissect­ ed paratypes (2$$, 1♂) are retained in the collection of the author. GoogleMaps

Mandible ( Fig. 27G View Fig ) consisting of stylet and palp. Stylet 192 μm long, its distal part needle-like, but denticulated in different viewing angle ( Fig. 27G View Fig ). Palp 2­ segmented; first segment 44 μm long; second segment 15 μm long, with 2 distal setae of 156 and 77 μm long, respectively. Maxillule ( Fig. 26H View Fig ) bilobed; inner lobe 81 μm long, with 5 setae distally; lengths of these 5 setae 104, 103, 99, 75, and 21 μm, respectively; outer lobe 26 μm long, with 4 setae distally; lengths of 4 setae on out­ er lobe 106, 100, 78, and 23 μm long, respectively. Maxilla ( Fig. 27I View Fig ) 2-segmented; syncoxa with flexible gland tube proximally and ornamented with longitudinal row of minute spinules proximally; basis forming weakly curved claw bearing rows of spinules. Maxilliped ( Fig. 28A View Fig ) 6­segmented; syncoxa with 1 stiff, needle­like seta at inner distal corner; basis 123 × 34 μm, with 1 minute seta at halfway of inner margin and row of spinules on outer margin; armature formula for 4­segmented endopod 2, 1, 1, and 1 + claw; terminal segment 42 μm long; terminal claw 92 μm long, more than twice as long as terminal segment, with fine spinules on concave margin.

Legs 1­4 with 3­segmented rami; armature formula as follows:

Coxa Basis Exopod Endopod Leg 1: 0­0 1­1 I­1; I­1; III, 2, 2 0­1; 0­2; 1, 2, 3 Legs 2 & 3:0­0 1­0 I­1; I­1; III, I, 4 0­1; 0­2; 1, 2, 3 Leg 4: 0­0 1­0 I­1; I­1; III, I, 3 0­1; 0­2; 0, 2, 1

Coxa of legs 1­4 without inner seta. Inner distal corner of basis of legs 1­3 spinulose, but that of leg 4 naked. Second endopodal segment of legs 1­4 with bicuspid outer distal corner ( Fig. 28 View Fig B-D). Outer spine on first exopodal segment of leg 1 28 μm long. Ventral surface of basis of legs 2­4 with several rows of minute spinules.

Leg 5 represented by dorsolateral seta on fifth pedigerous somite and free exopod; exopod ( Fig. 28E View Fig ) small, 23× 14 μm, armed with 3 distal setae (62, 36, and 31 μm long from outer to inner ones), shortest innermost one of them being plumose. Leg 6 represented by 2 small setae in genital aperture, longer one of them being plumose ( Fig. 28F View Fig ).

Male. Body ( Fig. 29A View Fig ) smaller and narrower than that of female. Body length 647 μm. Cephalothorax 323 × 302 μm, slightly longer than wide. Three metasomites 235, 185, and 118 μm wide, respectively. Urosome ( Fig. 29B View Fig ) 5­segmented. Fifth pedigerous somite 85 μm wide. Genital somite sub­circular, 120 × 172 μm, distinctly wider than long. Three abdominal somites 20 × 48, 18 × 36, and 38 × 35 μm, respectively. Anal somite as long as combined 2 preceding somites. Caudal ramus 18 × 14 μm, 1.29 times as long as wide.

Rostrum absent as in female. Antennule ( Fig. 29C View Fig ) 270 μm long, 18-segmented, and geniculate between antepenultimate and penultimate segments; armature formula 1, 2, 2, 1, 2 / 2, 2, 2, 8, 2 / 2, 2, 2, 2, 2 / 4, 3 + aesthetasc, and 10; penultimate segment with pointed process at anterodistal corner. Antenna as in female.

Oral cone, mandible, maxillule, and maxilla as in female. Maxilliped with 1 blunt process proximally on inner margin ( Fig. 29D View Fig ).

Legs 1­4 as in female. Leg 5 exopod ( Fig. 29E View Fig ) 15 × 12 μm, distally armed with 3 naked, unequal setae, longest one of which being 56 μm long. Leg 6 represented by 2 subequal setae tipped on genital operculum ( Fig. 29B View Fig ).

Etymology. The specific name macrocephalus is a combination of Greek macro (= large) and cephal (= the head). It alludes to the large cephalothorax of the new species.

Remarks. In one of four observed samples of leg 4, the third exopodal segment of leg 4 is armed with 4 spines and 2 inner setae (formula III, I, 2) and the third endopodal segment of the same leg is armed with 4 setae (formula 1, 2, 1). These setations are considered to be variations.
