Platysympus typicus (Sars, 1870)
Dear Colleagues:
First of all, thank you very much to all who have contributed by sending their papers and comments. We are very pleased to see that more than 50 papers on Cumacea have been produced since the publication of the latest issue in August, 1999.
Since most of us now have e-mail addresses, we think it will be more expeditive and more economical to place this and the forthcoming issues on the web, and send an alerting note to all the subscribers each time a new issue appears. This is why we would appreciate it very much if all of you interested in receiving the newsletter could send us their e-mail addresses in the next few days. In this way we could also prepare an electronic mailing list that would be kept updated and published in all future issues.
As in the previous issues, we have enclosed an information form to be filled out. Please, use this form to let us know about your recently published papers, your papers in press, and your research work in progress.
We thank Jordi Corbera (Spain) for the SEM photograph of Platysympus typicus (Sars, 1870) from Haifa, Israel, which is presented on the cover of this issue.
As in previous issues, we want to thank Dawne Hard (GCRL) for her committed editorial work. Our appreciation goes to Joyce Shaw who kindly proof read and checked the citations for accuracy.
Hoping to hear from all of you soon!
Sincerely yours,
Daniel Roccatagliata

A new cumacean genus and species, Speleocuma guanche gen. et sp. nov., belonging to the subfamily Mancocumatinae Watling, 1977, is described from marine lava caves of Tenerife, Canary Islands. This genus differs from others in the subfamily in having two pairs of pleopods in males and exopods on first to third pereopods, but not on fourth pereopod, in both sexes.

The first phylogenetic analysis of the Gynodiastylidae
A computer assisted cladistic analysis of the Gynodiastylidae (Crustacea: Cumacea) was undertaken to determine if the family is monophyletic and elucidate relationships among the genera in the family. Morphological information was obtained from the literature, and 18 characters were scored for 14 taxa (12 ingroup, 2 outgroup) at the generic level. Monophyly of the Gynodiastylidae is supported in all trees, and two distinct subclades are supported in all trees, a Dicoides subclade (Dicoides, Paradicoides, Zimmeriana, Pseudozimmeriana), and a Gynodiastylis sensu stricto subclade (Gynodiastylis, Axiogynodiastylis, Haliana). The relationships of the plesiomorphic genera (Eogynodiastylis, Litogynodiastylis, Sheardia) are not well resolved, suggesting a need for development of further characters, both morphological and molecular, a difficult task in a group characterized by reduction in morphology and size.

Are cumaceans and tanaids sister taxa?
In the various phylogenetic arrangements of “peracarid” taxa, cumaceans and tanaidaceans are grouped together at the top of the tree. Of course, in early crustacean literature tanaids were thought to be isopods with rather peculiar features. More recently, tanaids were grouped with spelaeogriphaceans, mictaceans, cumaceans, and possibly thermosbaenaceans, or some combination of these groups, under the name Brachycarida, primarily because they all share a short branchial carapace and respiratory maxilliped epipod. Tanaids, isopods, and cumaceans all share features of their life history, as well as peculiar micromorphological features, such as certain kinds of microtrich setae, that suggest the three orders are closely related. Cumaceans have the most derived branchial system, especially with respect to maxilliped one and the development of the carapace branchial fold, whereas in tanaids it is similar to that of the other brachycarid orders, and in isopods, if such a system was present, it evidently has been lost.
