Appendix 2. Commentaries by individual authors on the taxonomic findings and checklists of crustacean and
polychaete taxa identified from grab samples taken along the western Australian coast. The numbers of species
within each genus or higher taxon are given. References cited follow.
Class Ostracoda: Subclass Podocopa (M. Warne)
A total of only 68 specimens of 26 species were identified from 34 samples; several were damaged or badly
eroded. Of these 26 species, 22 are podocopids (scavengers, deposit feeders) and four are platycopids (filter
feeders). Only two species (8%) could be confidently identified to species. Given that specimens were collected
only from a sieve with a 300 µm mesh, most podocopid and platycopid specimens would have been lost
(washed through sieve) during the collection procedure. Thus this collection is restricted to relatively large
species. While these results are typical of macroinvertebrate surveys treated in this way, the species richness
may represent as little as 5% of the combined podocopid and platycopid ostracod biodiversity from these sites.
This collection has been stored in an unsuitable preservation solution leading to the de-calcification of many
specimens with a mineralised carapace. This placed limitations on the identification of some specimens.
Specimens were not dissected for identification. As a consequence some genera could only be identified sensu
lato (s.l.).
Zabythocypris is a deep-sea taxon (Maddocks 1969). Neonesidea aff. australis and N. guildertonensis
are the only species represented by more than four individuals. Macrocypris, represented by four species is used
in a broad sense and encompasses various macrocyprid genera (sensu Maddocks 1990). Most species are
represented by single specimens within this collection. Some indeterminate taxa are not listed below.

Order Mydocopida: Suborder Myodocopina (A. Syme)
A total of 356 specimens of 59 species was identified from 59 samples. Unlike the other taxa studied in these
samples, numerous species of myodocopids from Australian slope depths have been described. It was possible
to identify 15 species (25%) in these samples using papers describing the south-eastern Australian slope fauna
(Kornicker 1994, 1995b; Kornicker and Poore 1996) suggesting these species at least are widespread at these
depths in Australia. Another eight (13%) resembled described species. Previous knowledge of western
Australian myodocopids is slight; Kornicker (1995a) described eulittoral sarsiellids, none expected in these
samples. One undescribed species of Pterocypridina was represented by 72 specimens, Skogsbergia megalops
by 21, another species of Skogsbergia by 23, and Parasterope prolixa by 16. All other species had fewer than
ten and usually only one or two specimens.

Suborder Amphipoda (G. Walker-Smith and J. Taylor)
A total of 551 specimens of 126 species was identified from 86 samples. Not all amphipod families present in
the samples were identified to species and reported here. Almost 400 additional sample-lots were identified to
family of which most (c. 70) were corophioids, lysianassoids (c. 50), eusiriids (c. 40) or liljeborgiids,
caprellideans, melphidippids, or dexaminids (c. 20 each). In the 20 families sorted to species, no species could
be confidently identified to species although seven appeared similar to known Australian species. Of these only
Paraharpinia villosa has been recorded previously from western Australia (Barnard and Karaman 1991).
Typically, most species were rare, occurring in ones or twos in few samples. Little more than half of the species
(68) occurred in only one sample, many of these represented by a single specimen. The only species represented
by more than nine specimens were unidentified species of Gitanopsis (68 specimens), Ausatelson (37),
stenothoid indet. (14), Cyproidea (20), Synopia (18), Ampelisca (22), Urothoides (18), Tomituka (16),
Leucothoe, phoxocephalid gen. nov. (16), and Limnoporeia (10). Identifications were made with the help of the
Australian papers of Barnard (Barnard 1972, 1974; Barnard and Drummond 1978, 1979, 1982) and his key to
genera (Barnard and Karaman 1991).
The amphipods of Indo-West Pacific coral reef systems are better known than those of bathyal
environments. Eighty per cent of Australian coral reef amphipods are endemic to the Australian plate, the
remainder being widespread in the Indo-West Pacific (Lowry and Myers 2009). It is uncertain whether the same
percentage would apply to bathyal species as no comparable data exist.

Suborder Isopoda (G. C. B. Poore and N. L. Bruce)
A total of 448 specimens of 127 species was identified from 110 samples. The collection was notable for the
small size of individuals, many in the 0.5–2 mm range. Nine species (7.7%) could be identified to species level
and a further three were close to known species. Only one species of the Asellota, a suborder that made up 80
(63%) of all species, was identifiable. Lists of described species of isopods are available from Schotte et al.
(2008 onwards) and with basic distributional data from Schotte et al. (1995 onwards). The Australian fauna is
kept up-to-data at the Australian Faunal Directory (Poore 2005 onward). Western Australia is relatively poorly
known but the shallow-water isopod fauna of the Indian Ocean has been summarised by Kensley and coauthors
(Kensley 2001; Kensley and Schotte 2002; Kensley et al. 2007, 2009; Schotte and Kensley 2005). The deepwater fauna around Australia is poorly known. Poore et al. (1994) identified 359 species from the south-eastern
slope but identified only 20; few have been described since, notably by Just (Just 2001, 2009a, 2011; Just and
Wilson 2006) who reported extraordinary diversity especially in Paramunnidae.
It was against this background and with specific literature at hand that identifications were made.
Neither of the two species of Dendrotion in the samples could be reconciled with the species from the Tasman
Sea (Cohen 1998). All species of Desmosomatidae in the genera recorded in western Australian have been
described from the Atlantic Ocean, Polar Sea or NW Pacific Ocean and rarely from the Southern Ocean (Hessler
1970). The exceptions are seven species from SE Australia (Brix 2006; Kaiser and Brix 2007) but none of these
was found in these samples. Species of Maresiella (Gnathostenetriidae) are typically shallow-water (Müller
1992) – all differed from our specimens, notably M. aldabrana (Kensley and Schotte 2002). Neither species of
Haploniscidae was among those described from New Zealand and the Tasman Sea (Lincoln 1985) or southern
Australia (Wolff 1962); most other described species are from the Atlantic or Southern oceans. Neither
ischnomesid resembled the species described from south-eastern Australia (Merrin and Poore 2003). Most
described deep-water species of Janiridae are from the Atlantic and NW Pacific, unlikely conspecifics of the
western Australian species. Most species of Joeropsis (Joeropsididae) are from shallow reef environments,
many from the Indo-West Pacific. Neither species in these collections resembled the 22 described species
(mostly shallow-water) from the Indian Ocean (Kensley 1976; Kensley and Schotte 2002). More than 60 species
of Macrostylis (Macrostylidae) have been described, most from depths greater than 1000 m and many at much
greater depths. Mezhov (1988, 1989, 2004) described nine species from the Indian Ocean none of which could
be reconciled with these much smaller species. Microparasellidae are generally regarded as interstitial forms; the
new records are exceptional. Angeliera has not been previously recorded from deep water and species of
Microcharon are generally from fresh water or marine beaches or coral rubble (Wägele 1990; Wilson and
Wägele 1994). Munnidae were represented by seven species of Munna. None could be placed convincingly in
any of the Indian Ocean, mostly subantarctic, species listed by Kensley (2001) nor with any illustrated by
Kussakin (1988) from the north-western Pacific Ocean. Munnopsids, which dominate in many other deep-sea
samples (e.g., Poore et al. 1994), were less abundant here probably because of the gear used, grab rather than
epibenthic sled. None of the four species recognised could be identified from even unlikely sources: Vanhöffen
(1914) who described Antarctic species now in Disconectes (Wilson and Hessler 1981), Barnard (1920) and
Kensley (1978) who dealt with Eurycope and Ilyarachna from South Africa. Several new genera and many
species of Paramunnidae have been recently described by Just and Wilson (2004, 2006, 2007) and Just (2009a,
b) including some from the south-eastern Australian slope. Neither of the species of Ascionana found is among
the 13 Australian species described by this pair in 2004. One species of Astrurus was recorded from southeastern Australia (Poore et al. 1994 unpublished species list). The Austrosignum-, Paramunna- and
Meridiosignum-like species were difficult to place in genus using Just and Wilson (2007). Pentaceration bifida,
taken in these samples at 21°S at 715 m is the only one of the 20 described species in this genus from Australia
and New Zealand known from the relatively close Arafura Sea (Just 2009b, 2011). Notoxenoides has been
recorded before only from the deep Caribbean (Menzies 1962) and this species differs. The species of
3
Pseudojanira (Pseudojaniridae) and Stenetriidae were not among the species described by Serov and Wilson
(1999) or Kensley and Schotte (2002), and in fact difficult to place in genus. The family Microthambematidae is
known from a single species of Microthambema from the north-western Pacific (Kussakin 1988). Here, two
more are discovered with different setation. Another is known from south-eastern Australia (Poore et al. 1994
unpublished species list). Anthurid isopods are well-described in Australia, including from the North-west Shelf
(Poore and Lew Ton 1985, 1986b, 1988b) but only one possible identification was made. The seven species of
Gnathiidae could not be recognised in the species described by Cohen and Poore (1994) from Australia or
Kensley et al. (2009) from the Indian Ocean. The two species of Hyssuridae were not among those described by
Poore and Lew Ton (1988a). Only one of the leptanthurids is described, the others not covered in relevant
Australian papers (Poore 1978; Poore and Lew Ton 1986a, 1990) or those dealing with species from the Indian
Ocean (Kensley 1980; Kensley and Schotte 2000). One leptanthurid belongs in a new genus.
Bathycopea typhlops (Ancinidae), described from the North Atlantic, has been reported in the western
Indian Ocean (Kensley 1978) and south-eastern Australia (Bruce 1991). Small morphological differences can be
detected between all published figures and Australian material and we are unconvinced that the Australian
specimens belong to this species. Serolidae of the genus Serolina are diverse on the North-west Shelf but none
has been described (Museum Victoria collections). Two of four species of Sphaeromatidae were identifiable
thanks to detailed studies on Oxinosphaera (Bruce 1997) and Paracassidina (Bruce 1994) in the region. Some
of the cirolanids could be confidently or provisionally identified.
Species of antarcturid and arcturid were too small to identify confidently but were clearly none of those
listed by Kensley (2001) or Kensley et al. (2007). In contrast, the sole austrarcturellid had been described from
north-western Australia (Poore and Bardsley 1992).
A little over half of the species (56%) occurred in only one sample, many of these represented by a
single specimen. The only species represented by more than nine specimens were unidentified species of
Chelator (12 specimens), Eugerda (14), Prochelator (36), Microcharon (10), stenetriid (10), Apanthura (10),
Caecognathia (2 spp., 11 and 14), Belura (11), and Bullowanthura (14).

Order Tanaidacea (M. Błażewicz-Paszkowycz)
A total of 745 specimens belonging to 284 species was identified from 104 samples. Of the three suborders,
Tanaidomorpha outnumber Apseudomorpha nine to one; Neotanaidomorpha, a truly deep-water suborder, is
represented by two species.
All the species are new to science, one so far being described from these samples (Jozwiak and Jakiel
2012). They add a further 24% to the world’s described fauna of c. 1200 species (Błażewicz-Paszkowycz et al.
2012).
Comprehensive studies in Australia include the Bass Strait shelf (Błażewicz-Paszkowycz and Bamber
2012) and the south-eastern Australian slope (work in progress). Both collections were made with sled and grab
samples sieved over 1 mm and specimens are larger than in this WA series. The Bass Strait fauna comprised 65
species, 44 of which were described in 2012. The slope samples comprise at least 85 species, none of which are
conspecific with those from similar depths to these samples from WA.
Until now close to 150 species of Tanaidacea have been recorded from the Indian Ocean. Almost 85%
of them are apseudomorphs, the majority shallow-water taxa preferring intertidal or immediate subtidal depths
(e.g. Bamber 2005; Edgar 1997, 2008; Gutu 2006); only eight apseudomorphs (Apseudella typica,
Carpoapseudes rotundirostris, Colobocladus desbruyeresi, C. thomassini, Eliomosa galeroni, E.
sibogae,Leviapseudes shiinoii and L. weberi) have been recorded in significantly deeper waters, i.e. below 3000
m (Bacescu 1987; Kudinova-Pasternak 1989; Lang 1968; Nierstrasz 1913). The remaining 15% are
tanaidomorphs. Of 23 species of Indian Ocean tanaidomorphs, 11 are typical shallow-water taxa and the rest
(12) were caught below 3500 m in remote and isolated regions: Sri Lanka, Madagascar, Mauritius or Durban
(Błażewicz-Paszkowycz 2005; Kudinova-Pasternak 1986, 1987, 1989; Lang 1968). The only member of the
entirely deep-sea suborder Neotanaidomorpha found in the Indian Ocean was Neotanais bacescui near Sri
Lanka at 4040 m (Lang 1968). None of these species was found in the samples at hand.
The apseudomorph family Parapseudidae includes three genera at shelf depths in Australia
(Pakistanapseudes, Magniaculeus and Ramosiseta). Pakistanapseudes is a likely Gondwanan genus with four
described species in Australia; the fifth member of this genus recorded from Moreton Bay, Qld, has been
recently moved to Ramosiseta. Four new species of Pakistanapseudes are added here and two new species close
to Ramosiseta turkoroa are added to this previously monotypic genus. Magniaculeus, erected by Gutu (2008)
for Australian species formerly included in Saltipedis, was not recorded. Kalliapseudes is a common genus in
sandy habitats of the Australian shelf (Bamber 2005; Błażewicz-Paszkowycz and Bamber 2007a, b) but only
one species was recorded.
The Indo-West Pacific Pagurapseudidae have one representative in each of the two subfamilies,
Pagurapseudinae and Hodometricinae. The former was identified as member of Indoapseudes, quite different
from three others described from Zanzibar (Bacescu 1976), Celebes Sea (Gutu 1997) or New Caledonia
(Bamber 2006). It is surprisingly similar to I. macabre from the shallow shelf of south-western Australia
(Bamber 2005).
Two specimens collected at 50 m can be convincingly placed in the family Sphaeromapseudidae,
previously recorded in the Caribbean Sea (Larsen 2012). Recently the family has been recorded in coral rubble
of the Great Barrier Reef (A. Stepien and M. Błażewicz-Paszkowycz, unpublished) but the records come from
remote localities and different habitats and are unlikely to be the same as those in these collections.
The Australian family Whiteleggiidae, with three species in two genera, was originally described from
the coast of Queensland and New South Wales. Błażewicz-Paszkowycz and Bamber (2007b) recorded two
species, Pseudowhiteleggia typica and Whiteleggia multicarinata, as common on sand or mud over a wide depth
range on the southeastern Australian shelf. Without males the identity of the two new species is uncertain but
they are unlikely to be conspecific.
Apseudomorphs at deeper stations are members of the apseudid subfamily Leviapseudinae
(Leviapseudes, Carpoapseudes, Fageapseudes) and family Sphyrapodidae. Leviapseudinae are thought to be
5
phylogeneticaly basal apseudids which apparently radiated in bathyal-abyssal realms of the ocean where they
are now distributed. Sphyrapodidae are assumed to be (with few exceptions) a bathyal family (P. Jozwiak,
unpublished).
Identification of Tanaidomorpha is an arduous task, largely because of limited taxonomic study until
few decades ago (Błażewicz-Paszkowycz et al. 2012). Add to this the microscopic size of the specimens in this
collection, most less than 1 mm long, and the scarcity of most taxa which precluded the dissection necessary to
absolutely confirm identification beyond family or genus.
Leptocheliidae, Paratanaidae and Tanaissuidae together contributed just 8% of the total number of
individuals which contrasts with the results of Błażewicz-Paszkowycz and Bamber (in press), who noted 12
species in Bass Strait, some with hundreds of specimens. This is to be expected as they are typical shallowwater families. Tanaidae, which have a clear preference for subtidal depths, were entirely absent.
Colletteidae (18% of all sampled tanaidaceans), Typhlotanaidae (14%), Tanaellidae (11%) and
Anarthruridae (11%) contributed over half of all species and specimens; they are followed by Agathotanaidae
(6%), Leptognathiidae (6%) and Akanthophoreidae. All of these families apparently radiated in the deep sea. In
consequence they are blind and their members in general never emerge to shelf depths except in polar regions or
regions influenced by cold currents (e.g. Californian coasts). Colletteidae (as defined by Larsen and Wilson
2002) should be treated with caution. The family is undoubtedly polyphyletic although Leptognathiopsis,
Stenotanais, Leptognathiella and Subulella and perhaps Singula, Filitanais, Haplocope and Leptognathioides
might constitute a monophyletic clade. Each genus is represented by three to seven described species (30 in
total) and are distributed world-wide, with the exception of Singula that is so far a monotypic Antarctic genus.
On the western Australian slope 27 species belonging to this clade alone were recognised (plus two others
closely related but not placed in any existing genus). This result show how tremendously underestimated is this
group. Even more underestimated are Anarthruridae, of which 21 described species in nine genera are currently
known, with 31 new representatives in these samples. Three new species of Nematotanais have been included in
Colletteidae but should probably be transferred to Anarthruridae. Among the few diagnostic characters defining
this monotypic genus from the Rockall Trough, North Atlantic (Bird and Holdich 1985) is an extremely
elongated body (24 times as long as wide), a probable adaptation to a tubicolous lifestyle; the new Nematotanais
species are similarly elongate, one species with a body 60 times as long as wide.
Leptognathiidae has for decades been a depository for tanaidomorphs with four-articulated antennules
and biramous uropods. Thirty-five species originally in Leptognathiidae and Leptognathia s.l. have since been
moved to as many as 17 other genera and other families. The remaining 36 described species have little in
common. Two new species are placed in Leptognathia s.s. and 17 others put provisionally in the family but may
well represent several genera, not necessarily related. Being better studied than other families the lack of
conspecificity with species from Bass Strait (Błażewicz-Paszkowycz and Bamber 2012) or the south-eastern
Australian slope was confirmed.While two species of Leptocheliidae could be placed Leptochelia s.s. without
dissection three others were doubtful members. Mirandotanaidae includes two genera, monotypic Antarctic
Mirandotanais and the Australian Pooreotanais. The species identified here as Mirandotanais is similar to
another from Florida, USA, and may represent a new family. Typhlotanaidae, recently reviewed by BłażewiczPaszkowycz (2007), is especially diverse with least 11 described genera, although the author has presumed the
existence at least seven others. Six, possibly more, are represented in these collections but no species could be
positively identified. The genus Peraeospinosus which has radiated in the deep sea and emerged on Antarctic
and south-eastern Australian shelves (Błażewicz-Paszkowycz 2005; Błażewicz-Paszkowycz and Bamber 2012)
was not recorded in these samples.
Fifty-six per cent of species occurred in only one sample, many of these represented by a single
specimen. The only species represented by more than nine specimens were one unidentified species each of
Pseudotanais (10 specimens), Pseudobathytanais (13), Araphura (26), Arthrura (12), cf. Nematotanais (14),
Pugiodactylus (28), Araphura (12) and one each belonging to new genera of Typhlotanaidae (13), Paragathiidae
(15 specimens), Kalliapseudidae (13) and Paraleptognathiidae (12).

Order Cumacea (G. Walker-Smith and S. Gerken)
A total of 277 specimens of 86 species was identified from 61 samples. Nine species (10%) were tentatively
identified but without confidence using Hale’s papers on the South Australian fauna (mainly Hale 1943, 1944,
1945, 1946a, b, 1949a, b, 1951), and those by Gerken (2001) and Petrescu (2006). More than half of the species
(47) occurred in only one sample, many of these represented by a single specimen. The only species represented
by more than nine specimens were unidentified species of Iphinoe (11 specimens), bodotriid (10), Cyclaspis
(11), Dicoides (12), and Leucon (17).
Bodotriidae. Cyclapsis cf. australis, Cyclapsis cf. globosa, Cyclapsis cf. sublevis, Cyclapsis strigilis/sublevis,

Order Decapoda (G. C. B. Poore)
Decapods are unlikely targets for grab samples but 66 specimens of 36 species were identified from 31 samples.
Decapods from dredge samples taken in the same area have been reviewed and compared with published names
(Poore et al. 2008). Most specimens were small and uncommon which contributed to a low level of reliable
species identification, 36% vs 70% by Poore et al. (2008). It was possible to identify to species level three of
nine species of Caridea, all previously known from the region and occurring elsewhere in southern Australia or
the Indian Ocean. The remaining specimens were incomplete and unidentifiable. Six of seven Anomura were
identifiable, to species known variously extending through the West Pacific. Only four of ten species of
Brachyura were identifiable to local species. One is known only from the region while the others are West
Pacific species. The remainder were too juvenile or taxonomically difficult. On the other hand, the gebiideans
7
and axiideans proved to be diverse and new – of 11 species, the only named species, Acanthaxius gathaadudu,
was described partly on the basis of this material (Poore and Collins 2009). The callianassid genus Cheramus is
known to be diverse and undocumented. Seventy per cent (26) of the species occurred only once. No species
was represented by more than six individuals or more than four samples.

Subclass Phyllocarida : Order Leptostraca (G. Walker-Smith)
A total of 80 specimens of three species were identified from 11 samples. None could be identified. Two species
have been described from the south-eastern Australian slope (Walker-Smith 1998, 2000) but neither was found
here.
Paranebaliidae. Levinebalia sp., Paranebalia (2 spp.)
Nebaliidae. Nebalia sp.
Phyllum Annelida (polychaetes) (R. Wilson and others)
A total of 954 specimens representing 48 families were collected. Of these, species/morphospecies
identifications were made for 14 families, resulting in recognition of 61 species of which 40 were new to
Australia.
Aphroditidae (R. Wilson): Aphrodita goolmarris, A. malayana, Laetmonice viridescens, L. wonda. Two species
(Aphrodita malayana, Laetmonice viridescens) previously recorded only from the Indonesian Archipelago in
Siboga Expedition material (Hutchings and McRae 1993) were newly recorded from Australia.
Chrysopetalidae (C. Watson): Dysponetus (2 undescribed spp.) not previously known from Australia (Hutchings
et al. 1993).
8
Eulepethidae (S. Woolley, R. Wilson): Pareulepis malayana, Proeulepethus payungu. Both species were new
records to Australia (Woolley and Wilson 2011).
Eunicidae (E. Greaves, R. Wilson, J. Zanol [M. belli determination]): Eunice metatropos, Eunice (4 spp.),
Marphysa belli, Marphysa sp., Lysidice sp., Palola sp. Marphysa belli and morphospecies of Eunice, Lysidice,
Palola were not previously recorded from Australia (Fauchald et al. 2003).
Fauveliopsidae (R.Wilson). Fauvelopsis sp. The family had not previously been recorded from mainland
Australian seas. Fauveliopsis challengeriae from Australia’s Antarctic segment was redescribed by Petersen
(2000); the Fauvelopsis morphospecies reported here is not F.challengeriae.
Lacydoniidae (R. Wilson): Lacydonia sp. The family was previously not recorded from Australia.
Longosomatidae (R. Wilson): Heterospio sp. The family was previously not recorded from Australia.
Nereididae (R. Wilson, C. Glasby): Ceratocephale sp. Cheilonereis peristomialis, Neanthes cricognatha, N.
kerguelensis, Nereis sp. Ceratocephale sp. is an undescribed species not previously known from Australia.
Opheliidae (L. Avery): Ophelia (3 spp.), Ophelina (3 spp.) None of the six morphospecies are present among
the 12 nominal opheliid taxa recorded from Australia by Wilson and Taylor (2003).
Paralacydoniidae (R. Wilson): Paralacydonia sp. Apparently conspecific with a morphospecies previously
recorded from eastern Australia.
Phyllodocidae (R. Wilson): Eulalia sp., Nereiphylla (2 spp.), Phyllodoce sp. The morphospecies of Eulalia and
Nereiphylla were not present in the Australian fauna summarised by Wilson and Pleijel (2003).
Pilargidae (C. Glasby): Glyphohesione (1 sp.), Litocorsa (2 spp.), Synelmis knoxi. The four pilargid species thus
far identified from these samples are all new to Australia (Glasby and Marks 2013). Glyphohesione is a new
generic record for Australia.
Polynoidae (R. Wilson, S. Woolley): Euphione (2 spp.), Lepidonotus sp., Arctononinae sp. (22 additional
Polynoidae lots are damaged, unidentifiable). Two morphospecies (Lepidonotus sp., Arctononinae sp.) are not
present in the Australian fauna as summarised by Fauchald and Wilson (2003).
Spionidae (E. Greaves, K. Meissner, R. Wilson): Laonice cf. weddelia, L. insolita, Laonice sp., Laubieriellus
sp., Microspio sp., Paraprionospio coora, P. oceanensis, Prionospio dubia, Prionospio (5 spp.), Scolelepis sp.,
Spio sp., Spiophanes dubitalis, S. japonicum, S. wigleyi . All species and morphospecies of Laonice,
Laubieriellus, Microspio and Spio represent new records for Australia, together with Paraprionospio oceanensis
and the five Prionospio morphospecies (Wilson and McDairmid 2003). All Spiophanes spp were previously
known from eastern Australia (Meissner 2005).
