Taxonomic revision of the family Doliolidae Bronn 1862 (Chordata Tunicata Thaliacea Doliolida) from east coast of Peninsular Malaysia) with an updated worldwide distribution

Nur ‘Aliah Binti Adam, . and Nurul Huda Ahmad Ishak, . Taxonomic revision of the family Doliolidae Bronn 1862 (Chordata Tunicata Thaliacea Doliolida) from east coast of Peninsular Malaysia) with an updated worldwide distribution. pp. 147-177. ISSN 1823-8556

The marine pelagic tunicate from the family of Doliolidae Bronn 1862 in the coastal waters of Terengganu was studied for the first time hereby presented in this paper. The distribution was analysed from 18 sampling stations alongside the Terengganu waters; including Pulau Bidong Pulau Yu and Pulau Kapas. Samples were collected from April to July 2016 using 200m Bongo net; towed vertically from a stationary vessel; and were preserved in a 5 buffered formaldehyde. Five species discovered in this family were identified as new records in Malaysian waters: Doliolum denticulatum Quoy and Gaimard 1834 Doliolum nationalis Borgert 1894 Dolioletta gegenbauri Uljanin 1884 Doliolina mulleri Krohn 1852 and Dolioloides rarum Grobben 1882. A comprehensive review of the species description diagnosis and a key to the phorozooid from the recorded species is herewith provided. We also deliver a detailed map of current and known worldwide occurrence of these five species and thus consequently update the biodiversity of Malaysian fauna.

Abstract

The marine pelagic tunicate from the family of Doliolidae Bronn 1862 in the coastal waters of Terengganu was studied for the first time hereby presented in this paper. The distribution was analysed from 18 sampling stations alongside the Terengganu waters; including Pulau Bidong Pulau Yu and Pulau Kapas. Samples were collected from April to July 2016 using 200m Bongo net; towed vertically from a stationary vessel; and were preserved in a 5 buffered formaldehyde. Five species discovered in this family were identified as new records in Malaysian waters: Doliolum denticulatum Quoy and Gaimard 1834 Doliolum nationalis Borgert 1894 Dolioletta gegenbauri Uljanin 1884 Doliolina mulleri Krohn 1852 and Dolioloides rarum Grobben 1882. A comprehensive review of the species description diagnosis and a key to the phorozooid from the recorded species is herewith provided. We also deliver a detailed map of current and known worldwide occurrence of these five species and thus consequently update the biodiversity of Malaysian fauna.
