Item A new genus for Ione indecora Markham, 1988, a second record for that species, and a new congeneric species from Australia (Crustacea, Isopoda, Bopyridae, Ioninae). American Museum novitates ; no. 3258(New York, NY : American Museum of Natural History, 1999) Markham, John C.; Boyko, Christopher B."The new genus Albunione is described, with Ione indecora Markham, 1988, as the type species. It includes A. indecora, which infests the albuneid anomuran Albunea paretii Guérin-Méneville in the Caribbean, and the new species A. australiana, which infests Albunea microps Miers off the coast of Queensland, Australia. These species of Albunea are the only members of the anomuran superfamily Hippoidea known to bear bopyrid parasites"--P. [1].Item A new species of Albunione Markham & Boyko, 1999 (Crustacea, Isopoda, Bopyridae, Pseudioninae) from Taiwan. American Museum novitates ; no. 3410(New York, NY : American Museum of Natural History, 2003) Markham, John C.; Boyko, Christopher B.A third species in the bopyrid genus Albunione Markham and Boyko, 1999, is described: Albunione yoda, new species, infesting the sand crab Albunea groeningi Boyko, 2002 (Decapoda: Hippoidea: Albuneidae) on the western coast of Taiwan. Albunione includes all bopyrid species known from hosts in the genus Albunea, its subfamily, and family. Remarks are made about the morphological characters of the genus and, in light of a reconsideration of its characters, Albunione is transferred from the bopyrid subfamily Ioninae to the subfamily Pseudioninae. An emended diagnosis for the genus is presented. Comments on the phylogenetic relationships and possible coevolution between the parasites and hosts are provided.
