            <p> Ryocalanus infelix described by Tanaka (1956). Park </p>
            <p> (1986) recognized the family  Spinocalanidae Vervoort, 1951 , previously included in Clausocalanoidea by Andronov (1974), to form a separate superfamily  Spinocalanoidea based on the fact that the mostly bathypelagic  Spinocalanoidea have less specialized features such as the presence of an outer seta on the maxilla and the swimming leg setation (Park, 1986). Park also noted the similarity of mouthparts and swimming legs of  Ryocalanoidea and  Spinocalanoidea , but pointed out the marked difference between these taxa, based on the grasping right antennule of males. </p>
            <p>*Corresponding author. E-mail: jrenz@senckenberg.de [Version of Record, published online 27 November 2018; http:// zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:6 F519A8-BB5F-4CCD- BE41-82D3F03E14BF]</p>
            <p> Spinocalanoidea currently contain two families:  Spinocalanidae and  Arctokonstantinidae . The latter family was established by Markhaseva &amp; Kosobokova (2001) andlatertreatedasasynonymforSpinocalanidae by Boxshall &amp; Halsey (2004). Markhaseva (2008) and Markhaseva &amp; Schulz (2008) gave a detailed analysis of  Arctokonstantinidae , concluding that, based on the derived morphology of the oral parts, as well as the basis and endopod of the first leg, this family represents a monophyletic group.  Foxtonia Hulsemann &amp; Grice, 1963 and  Sognocalanus Fosshagen, 1967 , previously placed in  Spinocalanidae and  Bathypontiidae , were placed in  Arctokonstantinidae (Markhaseva, 2008) together with  Arctokonstantinus Markhaseva &amp; Kosobokova, 2001 ,  Foxtosognus Markhaseva, 2008 and  Caudacalanus Markhaseva &amp; Schulz, 2008 . </p>
            <p> In recent studies, genetic analyses of copepods have generated new insights into the origin and evolution of the  Calanoida (e.g. Ohtsuka &amp; Nishida, 2017). Both, mitochondrial and nuclear molecular markers have been used for phylogenetic analyses to elucidate the evolutionary history of living organisms and have been proven to be useful in reconstructing copepod phylogenetic relationships (e.g. Blanco-Bercial et al., 2011; Laakmann et al., 2012; Bradford-Grieve et al., 2014, 2017). While species and population levels can be resolved based on mitochondrial gene fragments like cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) (e.g. Bucklin et al., 2003; Goetze, 2003; Eyun et al., 2007; Aarbakke et al., 2014; Questel et al., 2016) and cytochrome b (Provan et al., 2009; Milligan et al., 2011), nuclear 18S rDNA, 28S rDNA and internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) (e.g. Braga et al., 1999; Bucklin et al., 2003; Laakmann et al., 2012) are more conserved and thus informative for phylogenetic analyses at intergeneric and higher taxonomic levels. </p>
            <p> Multi-gene analyses of the calanoid superfamilies have been made to investigate the relationships within the  Calanoida (Blanco-Bercial et al., 2011; Bradford-Grieve et al., 2014) by using both mitochondrial and nuclear ribosomal gene regions. These analyses demonstrated a high support of the morphology-based phylogeny by Andronov (1974) with its amendments made by Bowman &amp; Abele (1982) and Park (1986). These molecular-based phylogenetic studies did not, however, include representatives of the superfamilies  Ryocalanoidea and  Epacteriscidae , and refinements in the currently available phylogeny are expected when new data are added. </p>
            <p> The discovery of two new species of ryocalanid copepods in the Kurile-Kamchatka trench belonging to the genera  Ryocalanus Tanaka, 1956 and  Yrocalanus Renz, Markhaseva &amp; Schulz, 2012 and the description of the previously unknown female of  Ryocalanus infelix , the type species of the  Ryocalanidae , presented an opportunity to combine morphological and molecular data to further our knowledge on the phylogeny of the  Calanoida . </p>
            <p> Our morphological studies were complemented with molecular analyses of ryocalanoidean and spinocalanoidean copepod species using multi-gene approaches to gain insight into the relationship between the evolutionarily youngest calanoid copepod families from a molecular perspective. The phylogeny of the  Ryocalanoidea is discussed, based on a combined morphological and molecular approach. </p>

            <p> R e m a rk s: T h e n e w s p e c i e s s h a r e s t h e m a i n morphological characters with species of the genus  Ryocalanus (Renz et al., 2013) , which is a 1-pointed rostrum, the armament of the female antennule ancestral segment XXII with 1 seta, a leg 1 endopod with a proximal inner wedge-shaped projection and a male antennule with ancestral segments XXI/XXII–XXIII fused. Both sexes are known only for  R. brasilianus Renz, Markhaseva &amp; Schulz, 2013 , while  R. spinifrons Shimode, Toda &amp; Kikuchi, 2000 is only known from females and  R. bowmani Markhaseva &amp; Ferrari, 1996 and  R. infelix Tanaka, 1956 are represented only by males (female of  R. infelix is described herein). </p>
            <p> Ryocalanus squamatus sp. nov. differs from all other  Ryocalanus species by the shape of the rostrum, which is short and stout, compared to the long and slender rostrum possessed by all other  Ryocalanus species and an only slightly asymmetrical genital segment, which is strongly asymmetrical in  R. brasilianus ,  R. spinifrons and  R. infelix . Pedigers 2–5, as well as the anterior part of the legs, are covered in fine spinules, which are absent in other  Ryocalanus females, and the coxa of leg 4 lacks the robust spines that are usually found in all other ryocalanid females of the genera  Ryocalanus and  Yrocalanus . The antennule is covered with scale-like structures, a character not detected so far in any other species of  Ryocalanus . </p>
            <p> There are significant morphological transformations in the  Ryocalanus male right ancestral antennule segments distal to segment XIX, and evidence that ancestral segments XXI/XXII–XXIII are fused, with the main hinge located between fused segments XXII–XXIII and segment XXIV. This is unlike the earlier interpretation of the  R. infelix male right antennule (Ohtsuka &amp; Huys, 2001). Consequently, the male right antennules of  Ryocalanus species are distinct to the male right antennules in the genus  Yrocalanus , where the main hinge can be found between segment XXII and fused segments XXIII–XXIV. For further comments, see also remarks for the description of a  R. infelix female with additional comments for the male. The right male antennule of  Ryocalanus squamatus sp. nov. differs from that of other  Ryocalanus males in the shape of segment XXV, which has a strong lateral attenuation, being longer than the segment itself. This attenuation is absent in other  Ryocalanus species. Furthermore, segments XX–XXIII are equipped with surface spinules in  R. squamatus sp. nov. , while present on segments XIX–XXIII in  R. infelix (Tanaka, 1954) and segments XIV–XXI in  R. brasilianus (Renz et al., 2013) . These spinules are lacking in the  R. bowmani male right antennule. The lateral teeth observed on the male antennule segments XXVI and XXIV in  Ryocalanus infelix and  R. brasilianus and the combed spines on segments XXIV and XXV in  R. bowmani are absent in  R. squamatus sp. nov .. </p>
            <p> The antenna exopod to endopod ratio in the new species is 0.82, while in all other  Ryocalanus species it is close to 1, a character hypothesized to be diagnostic for the genus  Ryocalanus (Renz et al., 2013) . The mandible basis carries 2 setae (vs. 3 setae in all other  Ryocalanus species ), the mandible first endopod segment carries 2 setae (vs. 4 setae in all other  Ryocalanus species ) and the maxilliped endopod segment 5 outer seta is missing (this seta is present in all other species). </p>
            <p> Males of  Ryocalanus squamatus sp. nov. differ from their congeers in the shape of the rostrum, the spinules covering pedigers 2–5 and the scale-like structures covering the antennule (the latter two not present in other  Ryocalanus species ), the shape of ancestral segments on the right antennule with a large, hook-like extension on the posterior border of ancestral segment XXV, and the number and morphology of spines and segments of leg 5. From the armature of the 2-segmented right leg 5 it cannot be distinguished if the segments comprise a fused coxo- and basipodite with a one-segmented exopod or if the exopod is reduced. </p>
            <p> Some variability was observed in the armature of the proximal praecoxal endite of the maxilla between right and left limb of individuals in both female and male specimens, i.e. the presence of 4 or 5 setae. Furthermore, this endite was always equipped with a short attenuation in females, a feature not reported before in other ryocalanid species. However, a re-examination of the holotype of  Yrocalanus bicornis (Markhaseva &amp; Ferrari, 1996) (Smithsonian Institution, Catalogue No. USNM 264034, as  Ryocalanus bicornis Markhaseva &amp; Ferrari, 1996 ) showed that this short attenuation was present in the type material from Volcano 7. In both sexes of  R. squamatus sp. nov. , the distal spine on the maxillule praecoxal arthrite had a cavity at its tip, presumably a specific adaptation connected with feeding. This character was also found during the re-examination of the holotype of  Ryocalanus bowmani from Volcano 7 (Smithsonian Institution, Catalogue No. USNM 268291; Fig. 6). A morphologically similar structure can be found in the mandible of  Heterorhabdidae , although it is not clear from the analysis by light microscopy if this structure serves the same function during predatory feeding as suggested for this family (Ohtsuka et al., 1997). </p>
            <p> Abnormalities were observed in the formation of a swimming leg of  Ryocalanus squamatus sp. nov. , as in one female, as well as the male specimen, exopods of leg 4 and 2, respectively, lacked lateral spines, and exopod segment 3 lacked the terminal spine and deviated in the setation typical for this taxon. </p>

            <p> Remarks:  Ryocalanus infelix was so far only known from a male specimen. Together with female specimens, also males of this species were present in the samples. COI sequence analysis verified the assignment of females and males to the same species (see below). </p>
            <p> The urosome of all female specimens was covered by a viscous mass (as indicated in Fig. 7A, B) that was only removable by placing the urosome into lactic acid for at least 24 h. We hypothesize that this viscous mass-like structure is either connected to the mating process or might be remnants of egg sacs. The antennule of one female did show a quadrithek arrangement of appendages with segments V, VII, VIII, IX and XIII bearing two small, slender aesthetascs in addition to two setae. While the doubling of aesthetascs is unusual in female calanoid copepods, it has previously been observed in a few genera within the  Calanidae by Fleminger (1985). He postulated that quadrithek females derive from genotypic males in which the gonad develops as an ovary and suggested that environmental factors or internal factors affect the final, phenotypic sex. </p>
            <p> The morphology of the male specimens is mostly as in the original description of Tanaka (1956), except for: the basis of leg 1 carries 1 medial seta that is missing in the original description; the maxillule coxal endite carries 6 setae (vs. 5 setae in the original description); and the maxillary endopodite carries 9 setae (vs. 8 setae in the original description). The setation of the left male antennule, which was missing in the original description, is given here. Segmental fusions in the right male antennule are not absolutely unambiguous in  Ryocalanus infelix and  R. squamatus sp. nov. due to the significant  Ryocalanus male morphological transformations in the ancestral antennule segments distal to the segment XXI. More specifically, a fusion of segment XXV–XXVI, observed for  R. infelix (Tanaka, 1956) , could not be observed here. Instead, based on the morphology of the male antennules of  Ryocalanus squamatus sp. nov. and  R. infelix from the Kurile-Kamchatka trench, ancestral segments XXII and XXIII are apparently fused. This compund segment (XXII–XXIII) is distally followed by segments that are each supplied by two setae (both distoanterior and distoposterior), which is a marker for the ancestral segments XXIV, XXV, XXVI and XXVII (e.g. Huys &amp; Boxshall, 1991). This interpretation can also be applied to  R. brasilianus (Renz et al., 2013) , for which the earlier interpretation of antennule segmental fusions was left for discussion. The right antennule of  R. infelix differs from other  Ryocalanus species in the shape of the denticulated and chitinized lamella on segments XXIV and XXVI, which is of a different structure in  R. brasilianus (Renz et al., 2013) and absent in  R. squamatus sp. nov. and  R. bowmani (Markhaseva &amp; Ferrari, 1996) . </p>
            <p>The length of males discovered from the Kurile-Kamchatka trench varied between 1.95 and 2.15 mm.</p>
            <p>Females and males differed in the number of setae in the mandible endopod segment 2 (10 in males, 11 in females), the maxilla basal distal endite setation (four in females, three in males) and the maxilliped endopod setation (endopod 6-segmented with 2, 4, 4, 4, 3 + 1, and 4 setae in females, endopod 6-segmented, with 2, 4, 3, 2, 2 + 1, and 4 setae in males). The maxilla praecoxal endite showed variations in setation between left and right limbs of both, female and male individuals with the armament being 3 setae plus attenuation or 5 setae.</p>

            <p> R e m a rk s: T h e n e w s p e c i e s s h a r e s t h e m a i n morphological characters with species of the genus  Yrocalanus (Renz et al., 2013) . Both sexes are so far only known for  Y. antarcticus Renz, Markhaseva &amp; Schulz, 2012 , while  Y. admirabilis Andronov, 1992 is only known from a male and  Y. bicornis and  Y. asymmetricus Markhaseva &amp; Ferrari, 1996 only from female specimens. </p>
            <p> Females of  Yrocalanus kurilensis sp. nov. are easily distinguished from the remaining species of this genus by the shape of the rostrum, which is wider at its tips than in other  Yrocalanus species , the shape of the posterolateral corners of the prosome with narrowed points, which is not found in other  Yrocalanus species , the form of the genital double-somite, which is symmetrical in  Yrocalanus kurilensis sp. nov , but asymmetrical in  Y. asymmetricus ,  Y. bicornis (Markhaseva &amp; Ferrari, 1996) and  Y. antarcticus (Renz et al., 2012) and the 3 robust spines on the coxa of P4 (only 2 in other  Yrocalanus females). At least two different types of setae could be observed on the antennule, with short, frayed setae occurring on segment V–VIII, XI, XIV–XVI, XVIII and XX–XXI. </p>
            <p> Males of  Yrocalanus kurilensis sp. nov. differ from the remaining species of this genus in the shape of ancestral segments of the right antennule. Segment XXI is equipped with a serrated spine reaching the lower third of compound segment XXIII–XXIV, while it reaches the distal border of segment XXIII–XXIV in  Y. antarcticus and the distal border of segment XXV in  Y. admirabilis (Andronov, 1992) . Fused segments XXIII–XXIV are equipped with a large plate spanning the whole segment in  Yrocalanus kurilensis sp. nov. This plate spans only half of the segment in  Y. antarcticus and has the form of a small bulge in  Y. admirabilis . Furthemore, the elongated projection on segment XXVI in  Y. antarcticus and  Y. admirabilis is absent in  Y. kurilensis sp. nov. Differences can also be observed in the number and morphology of the spines and segments of leg 5, which is uniramous in  Y. kurilensis sp. nov , but shows rudimentary endopods in  Y. antarcticus and  Y. asymmetricus . With the discovery of the new species, the maximum size of species within the genus has to be corrected from earlier descriptions (Renz et al., 2013), with currently known members ranging between 0.95 mm (  Y. asymmetricus ) and 1.75 mm (  Y. kurilensis sp. nov. ). With  Y. kurilensis sp. nov. included into the analysis, the definition for the genus is: small copepods (&lt;1.75 mm). The rostrum is bifid. The proximal inner part of the leg 1 endopod is smooth. The female and male left antennule segment XXII is without a seta. The male right antennule is modified for grasping and of highly complex structure, with the main hinge between segment XXII and fused segments XXIII– XXIV. The male P5 is uniramous or indistinctly biramous with small endopodal buds and with the distal exopod segments with or without spines. </p>
            <p>MOLECULAR PHYLOGENY</p>
            <p> To gain insights into the relationships among the evolutionarily youngest calanoid copepod groups, different species of  Ryocalanoidea (genera  Ryocalanus and  Yrocalanus ) and  Spinocalanoidea (genera  Spinocalanus Giesbrecht, 1888 ,  Caudacalanus Markhaseva &amp; Schulz, 2008 ) from the South Atlantic (Brazilian Basin), North Atlantic (Great  Meteor Seamount ) and North Pacific (Kurile-Kamchatka trench) were analysed using multi-gene approaches. Sequencing of Cytb was successful only for one individual of  Yrocalanus kurilensis sp. nov. from the Kurile-Kamchatka trench and failed completely for COI for this species. Amplification and/or sequencing of Cytb was furthermore not successful for three  Ryocalanus individuals from the South Atlantic, and  Spinocalanus cf. magnus Wolenden, 1904 and  Paraeuchaeta parvula (Park, 1978) from the North Atlantic. ITS2 amplification/sequencing did not work for  Spinocalanus abyssalis Giesbrecht, 1888 and  S. aspinosus Park, 1970 . Sequencing was, however, successful for nuclear genes 18S and 28S (see accession numbers in Table 1 for successfully sequenced genes). </p>
            <p>The integration of our data into the sequence dataset of Bradford-Grieve et al. (2014) resulted in support for the same calanoid superfamily phylogeny as the original analyses by Blanco-Bercial et al. (2011) and Bradford-Grieve et al. (2014).</p>
            <p>Adding these new data resulted in a well-supported relationship between ryocalanoidean, spinocalanoidean and clausocalanoidean copepods [Bootstrap Support (BS): 87/96, Bayesian Posterior Probability (BPP): 1/1, without and with regard of the three different codon positions for the mitochondrial genes COI and Cytb, Fig. 15].</p>
            <p> Withinthisclade,RyocalanoideaandSpinocalanoidea form a highly supported clade (BS:99/100; BPP:1/1). The species of  Ryocalanidae (  Ryocalanus and  Yrocalanus ) did not form a monophyletic group, as only species of  Ryocalanus were found in one clade (BS: 86/90; BPP: 1/1), while  Yrocalanus was located in a supported clade with species of  Spinocalanidae (  Spinocalanus ) and  Arctokonstantinidae (  Caudacalanus and  Foxtonia Hulsemann &amp; Grice, 1963 ) (BS: 60/75; BPP: 0.97/1). </p>
            <p> The Arctoconstantinidae were not supported as a monophyletic group in both analyses. Individuals of the same species (i.e.  Yrocalanus kurilensis sp. nov. and  Ryocalanus infelix ) and species within the same genera (i.e.  Ryocalanus ,  Spinocalanus and  Caudacalanus ) were highly supported as close relatives (BS: 100/100; BPP: 1/1, respectively). </p>
            <p> The close relationship of  Ryocalanidae ,  Spinocalanidae and  Arctokonstantinidae and the position of  Ryocalanidae in the system of  Calanoida was investigated using longer fragments of 18S, 28S and COI, and Cytb together with ITS2 (Fig. 16). This analysis revealed a high support of species within the same genus (BS: ≥99/100 and BPP: 1/1, respectively, as well as high support of the close relationship of the superfamilies  Ryocalanoidea and  Spinocalanoidea (BS: 100/100; BPP: 1/1). Again,  Ryocalanidae could not be supported as a monophyletic clade as  Yrocalanus appeared in a highly supported clade together with all  Spinocalanidae and  Arctokonstantinidae (BS: 96/94; BPP: 0.95/0.95). </p>
            <p> Compared to the multiple-gene analyses, the single-gene analysis of 28S resulted in similar results with high support of a  Ryocalanus clade and one clade comprising  Spinocalanus ,  Caudacalanus and  Yrocalanus (results not shown). </p>
            <p>DNA SEQUENCE VARIATION</p>
            <p> There was a considerable variation in the rate of molecular evolution between the three gene loci, 18S, 28S and ITS2, with highest interspecific levels of divergence within ITS2 (0.059 –0.539) and lowest levels in 18S (0.001 –0.029; Table 6). Uncorrected genetic p-distances between the genera  Yrocalanus and  Ryocalanus within the  Ryocalanoidea were found to be higher (18S: 0.016 –0.022; 28S: 0.096–0.12; ITS2: 0.462 –0.516) than between the genera  Caudacalanus and  Spinocalanus within the  Spinocalanoidea (18S: 0.012 –0.016; 28S: 0.056 –0.069; ITS2: 0.339 –0.368). Highest distances were found between  Spinocalanus and  Yrocalanus for 18S,  Yrocalanus and  Ryocalanus for 28S and  Spinocalanus and  Yrocalanus for ITS2. Within the ribosomal locus 18S, sequence distances were low between  Caudacalanus and most  Ryocalanus species compared to differences between species of other genera. Intraspecific genetic divergences for  Yrocalanus kurilensis sp. nov. and  Ryocalanus infelix were 0 for 18S and 28S, and 0–0.005 for ITS2. </p>
