Perspiria major sp. nov.(Figures 4, 5; Table 2)Holotype and paratype materialTwo males and two females were collected from the subtidal zone of Bohai Bay. Holotype male on slide BHB40-(0-2)-2. Paratype male 2 on slide BHB40-(0-2)-7; female 1 on slide BHB04-(2-5)-8; female 2 on slide BHB41-(0-2)-3.Holotype and paratype locality and habitatHolotype male and paratype male 2 were collected from Station BHB40: 38.416 N, 118.140 E; depth 18 m; temperature 16.18°C; salinity 31.2 psu; silt sediment in the east of Bohai Bay. Female 1 was collected from Station BHB04: 38.964 N, 118.328 E; depth: 7 m; temperature: 14.9°C; salinity: 30.43 psu; silt sediment in the north of Bohai Bay. Female 2 was collected from Station BHB41: 38.533 N, 118.91 E; depth: 18 m; temperature: 15.9°C; salinity: 32.0 psu; silt sediment in the east of Bohai Bay.EtymologyThe species is named in reference to its relatively large body for the genus.MeasurementsAll measurement data are given in Table 2.DescriptionHolotype male. Body cylindrical with blunt anterior end and tapered tail end. Cuticle striated, beginning from the level of the middle of amphideal fovea. Inner labial sensilla not observed, six outer labial sensilla papilliform, four cephalic setae thin, about 8 μm long, located level with the middle of the amphideal fovea. Two latero-dorsal and two latero-ventral longitudinal rows of 5–6 cervical setae (4–6 μm long), somatic setae short, arranged irregularly on the surface of the body. Amphideal fovea unispiral, about 7 μm in diameter, i.e. 37% of the corresponding body diameter, and 5 μm from the anterior end. Buccal cavity minute, with a small dorsal tooth. Pharynx 124 μm long, cylindrical, with an oval anterior bulb and a pyriform terminal bulb. Cardia small, conical. Nerve ring located at about 75% of pharyngeal length from anterior end. Ventral gland and excretory pore not observed. Tail conico-cylindrical with prominent transverse striations except its terminal end, 2.5 times cloacal body diameter. Three caudal glands present.Reproductive system with single outstretched testis. Spicules arcuated without ventral velum, 1.2 cloacal body diameters long, proximal end enlarged, heart-shaped, and distal end tapered. Gubernaculum plate-shaped, 10 µm long, broadest in middle portion and tapering proximally and distally, without apophysis. Precloacal supplements absent.Females. Similar to males in most morphological characters except the body slightly larger. Reproductive system didelphic, with two opposed and reflexed ovaries. Anterior ovary located to the right of intestine, posterior ovary to the left of intestine. Spermathecae not observed. Vagina straight, cuticularised, about 0.2 times vulval body diameters long. Vulva raised, situated on ventral side of mid-body, about 55% of body length from anterior end.Differential diagnosis and discussionThe species is characterised by the presence of four longitudinal rows of 5–6 cervical setae, small unispiral amphidial fovea, partially surrounded with cuticular striation (Figures 4 (a), 5(b)); conical buccal cavity with a small dorsal tooth; pharynx with an oval anterior bulb and a pyriform terminal bulb; spicules arcuated with heart-shaped proximal end and tapered distal end, without ventral velum. Gubernaculum plate-shaped without apophysis. Precloacal supplement absent. Tail relatively short, conico-cylindrical with prominent transverse striations.The new species is most similar to P. megamphida Vincx and Gourbault, 1989 in having a short tail that is shorter than 3 times cloacal body diameter. However, the new species differs from the latter species by its much smaller amphidial fovea (37% of corresponding body diameter vs more than 60%); the presence of the dorsal tooth (vs absence) and longer body length (1914–2241 μm vs 1605 μm). The difference between the new species and its congeners can be inferred from the key below.Updated key to all valid species of Perspiria including the new species1.
