Abstract The revised genus Paranarthrurella Lang, 1971a includes three species: P. caudata (Kudinova-Pasternak, 1965), the type species of the genus, P. dissimilis (Lang, 1972), and P. voeringi (G.O. Sars, 1877), which were all originally and subsequently classified in other genera (Leptognathia, Cryptocope, Robustognathia and Biarticulata). The genus is defined by a set of specific characters: a long and narrow labrum, a rounded molar, large lacinia mobilis widely separated from incisor; maxillule with eleven spiniform setae distally and numerous simple setae on outer margin; maxilliped with narrow endites and two flat setae on the distal margin; and a chela with well calcified ‘crushing margins’. The genus is most close related to Armatognathia Kudinova-Pasternak, 1987 and it is suggested that both genera may constitute a new family. Key words: Arctic Ocean, Tanaidacea, Cryptocope, Biarticulata, Robustognathia, Agathotanaidae, Anarthruridae
Introduction The genus Paranarthrurella was established by Lang in 1971 for Leptognathia caudata Kudinova-Pasternak, 1965 and primarily classified in the family Anarthruridae Lang, 1971a. It is unclear how Lang (1971a) deduced that the cheliped is attached to the cephalothorax by a pseudocoxa in L. caudata, as no such information was given in the original description. In his discussion Lang (ibid.) mentioned that the genus is an atypical anarthrurid owing to the regular structure of the uropods which are composed of two well-developed rami and they lack the protopod projection that characterizes all members of the Anarthruridae (and also Agathotanaidae Lang, 1971a). Based on the last feature, as well as the pseudocoxa on the chelipeds (sic!), Larsen and Wilson (2002) have classified Paranarthrurella in the Agathotanaidae. The north-eastern Atlantic “Tanais” voeringi was initially described by G.O. Sars (1877, as Tanais Vøringi). G.O. Sars (1882, 1885) subsequently recognized it as member of Cryptocope G.O. Sars, 1882. Complementary descriptions were given by Hansen (1913) and G.O. Sars (1885) but they only concerned some superficial features such as habitus and general structure of the cheliped, pereopods and uropods. Sieg (1983) moved the species into the “catch-all” genus Leptognathia G.O. Sars, 1882. Larsen and Shimomura (2007) erected the genus Biarticulata to accommodate those leptognathid species with a biarticulated exopod of the uropod. That pragmatic and clearly polyphyletic genus incorporated T. voeringi along with eight other species (see Bird 2007). A comprehensive study of recent specimens of T. voeringi collected in Fram Strait (West of Spitsbergen) and of the types loaned from Natural History Museum (University of Oslo) allowed us to deduce T. voeringi and P. caudata belong in the same genus – Paranarthrurella. Two other species that have to be included in Paranarthrurella on account of having the same peculiar mouthparts are: Leptognathia dissimilis Lang, 1972, which was classified to the monotypic genus Robustognathia by Kudinova-Pasternak (1989) and Strongylura arctophylax (Norman & Stebbing 1886) known from only one specimen. The later species was included to Cryptocope by Hansen (1913) and later by Sieg (1983) transferred to genus Leptognathia. In this paper S. arctophylax is synonymized with T. voeringi.

Materials and methods The new material studied was collected in Arctic waters from the R/V Polarstern from 16th of June to 16th of July, 2004 in Kongsfjord Canyon and from 10th to 25th of July, 2007 at Hausgarten station. The specimens of P. voeringi were found in the stomachs of the zoarcid fish Lycodes frigidus Collett, 1879 and L. squamiventer Jensen, 1904; additional samples were collected using an Agassiz trawl. The type specimens of “Tanais” voeringi were loaned from the Natural History Museum at the University of Oslo (NHMO F1691a; NHMO F1691b) and Strongylura arctophylax (NHM 1903.5.20.8) loaned from The Natural History Museum in London. The synonymy in the paper is based mostly on Sieg (1983). The morphological terminology follows Larsen (2003) and Bird (2004).

Remarks: The genus Paranarthrurella has a set of very distinctive characters, especially in the morphology of the mouthparts, which exclude it from any of the families recognized by Larsen and Wilson (2002). The systematic position of Paranarthrurella remains unresolved, and it is proposed that the genus becomes family incertae sedis until there is a better understanding of the systematics of the paratanaoid tanaidomorph genera. Paranarthrurella is most closely related to Armatognathia Kudinova-Pasternak, 1987, sharing with it the specific mouthpart morphology which includes an elongated labrum (e.g. Fig. 2C), a setose outer margin of the maxillule (Fig. 2F), and the bizarre shape of the mandibles (Fig. 2D). The mandible incisor is massive and gently rounded; the lacinia mobilis (on the left mandible only) forms a gentle depression that, together with the incisor, forms a spoon-like structure; the mandibular molar in both genera is large, but gently rounded distally, with short simple or blunt spiniform setae. The maxillipeds have quite narrow endites which are of similar width proximally and distally. A peculiar character in the genus is the projection on the inner margin of the cheliped dactylus, that matches a depression on the inner margin of the fixed finger (e.g. Fig. 3A). It is difficult to judge the function of the structure without direction observation or at least information about stomach contents. It can be assumed however, that it is used for crushing the food particles (e.g. forminiferan tests). Females studied by us have an antennule of five articles, although the last article is vestigial. This character has often been overlooked in the past, and is so far confirmed for such genera as Collettea Lang, 1973, Robustochelia Kudinova-Pasternak, 1983 and Tanaopsis G.O. Sars, 1896. The family classification of Paranarthrurella remains uncertain, although it cannot be classified to either the Anarthruridae or the Agathotanaidae. The regular structure of uropods and cheliped attachment to the cephalothorax by a sclerite suggest its relationship to some leptognathids or colletteids. More probable however is that this genus, together with Armatognathia, constitute a new family that may yet be confirmed through phylogenetic analysis.

Cheliped (Fig. 5C): basis with wide sclerite, bearing one simple subdistal seta. Merus triangular, with one ventral seta. Carpus tapering distally, about 1.5 times as long as wide, with two inner and one outer setae; distally with small tubercle. Propodus about as long as wide, with seventeen simple setae (increasing in length) near dactylus insertion. Fixed finger with two setae ventrally and three on inner margin; inner margin well calcified. Dactylus with one simple seta proximally and process on inner margin near unguis insertion; unguis over one third as long as dactylus. Pereopods 1–6 similar to those of female. Pleopod (Fig. 5D): basal article about 1.5 times as long as wide, naked. Both rami elongate, equal in length. Endopod with thirteen setulated setae (outer setae shorter), proximal seta separated from remainder by gap. Exopod terminating in sixteen setulated setae. Uropod (Fig. 5E): basal article naked. Endopod 3-articled; article 1 with seven bipinnate setae; article 2 with two bipinnate setae; article 3 with five simple and two bipinnate terminal setae. Exopod 2-articled, about 0.6 times as long as endopod; article 1 with distal, simple seta; article 2 little longer than article 1, with two simple terminal setae (one long). Distribution: The recently collected material is from the Fram Strait (north west of the Svalbard Archipelago) from a depth of 1300 m. Previously the species was known from west of Norway from a depth range 630 to 1825 m. Remarks: Of the three species now classified in the genus, Paranarthrurella voeringi is distinguished by its relatively short body, about 5.2 as long as wide, and the well developed hyposphenia on pleonites 2–4. In P. dissimilis and P. caudata the length:width body ratio equals 9.5 and 6.2 respectively while hyposphenia are absent. The first article of the antennule of P. voeringi is relatively short (length:width ratio is 1.6) and it is little longer than the length of the fourth article. The length to width ratio of this article in P. caudata and P. dissimilis is 2.8 and 3.4 respectively. Moreover, P. voeringi has seven simple, flat setae on the mandible molar and eleven simple setae on the inner surface of the cheliped propodus, while in P. dissimilis the molar has eleven short, flat setae and the propodus of the cheliped has only eight setulated setae.
