Abstract:
The records show that 93 species of marine and terrestrial peracaridean order Isopoda have been reported from Pakistan. Of these only three are of terrestrial habitat, two are reported from Sindh and one from Baluchistan. The terrestrial isopods given by Siddiqui and Suleman, 1977 from northern areas are not listed in their paper. Out of total 11 isopod orders the Pakistani species belong to 6 suborders.
Another peracaridean order, Tanaidacea which is marine, also being dealt here,though not fully investigated. Only four species have been reported in two suborders and three families.
INTRODUCTION
Isopods are the most diverse in form and the most species rich (10,215 spp) in crustaceans of the super order Peracaridea (Isopoda, Amphipoda, Tanaidacea their kins).Isopods are common inhabitants of nearly all environments, including the gill chamber of crustaceans or buccal cavity of fish. They are unusual among the Crustacea for their ubiquity. The familiar sow bugs and pill bugs are members of this group, along with their marine relatives (gribbles, slatters, etc). These animals range in length from 0.5 to 500mm (Bathynomus giganteus). Phylogenetic analysis and the fossil record, limited though it is, suggest that the group dates to at least the Carboniferous period of Paleozoic, approximately 300 million years ago.
The order Isopoda is generally divided into 11 suborders (Asellota,Calabozoida,Cymothoida,Limnoriidea,Microcerberidea,Oniscidea,Phoratopidea,Phreatoicidea,Sphaeromatidea,Tainisopidea and Valvifera). Of these, except the Oniscidea are terrestrial and semi aquatic, remaining orders are aquatic.
Kensley (2001) has given 268 species of Isopoda from the Indian Ocean region which includes Pakistan, India, Myanmar, Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal, Sri Lanka, Maldives Islands, Lakshadweep Islands, Gulf of Myanmar and Andaman Sea.
The Isopod fauna of much of the Pakistan coast and inland area is imperfectly known, however reports over the last few years have slowly added to the some knowledge of the area. Some reports like that of Siddiqui and Suleman (1977) are incomplete, they only mentioned of the group Isopoda from Northern areas. The scheme of classification followed is that given by Kensley and Schotte(1998).From Pakistan so far nearly 92 species have been reported. The sources are arranged in alphabetical order and given in parentheses and the number of species is given against various suborders in the following manner: Asellota: 4 (Kazmi, 2001; Kazmi and Yousuf, 2002; Ghani, 2003); Cymothoida: 57 (Chopra, 1923; Ghani, 1995, 1996; Ghani and Tirmizi, 1993; Javed and Yasmeen, 1992 ,Kazmi, 1994,1996; Kazmi and Bourdon, 1997; Kazmi and Markham,1999,Kazmi and Tirmizi,1994,Kazmi et al, 2002; Markham, 1980; Markham and Kazmi, 1998; Negoescu, 1980; Qazi, 1959, Schotte, 1995; Shireen,2000,2001; Shireen and Ghani, 2000;Yasmeen and Javed,2000 ). Sphaeromatidea: 18 (Anwarullah, 1971; Barkati and Tirmizi, 1990; Bruce, 1986; Bruce and Javed, 1987; Ghani and Ali, 1998, 2001; Ghani and Shireen, 1995, 2000; Javed, 1990; Javed and Ahmed, 1987, 1988 a,b; Javed and Yasmeen, 1989, 1990, 1992, 1995, 1999; Javed and Yousuf, 1995 a,b, 1996,19975;Yasmeen ,2004,2005;Yasmeen and Javed, 2001; Yasmeen,2004,2005; Yasmeen and Javed, 2001;Yousuf and Javed, 2002); Microcerberidea:1(Kazmi and Naushaba, 2001); Oniscidea: 3 (Kazmi and Yousuf, 2000;Kazmi et al,2002, Schotte, 1993; Siddiqui and Suleman, 1977); Limnoriidea : 2 (Javed and Yasmeen, 1994)
The other Peracaridean Order Tanaidacea is being dealt with the Order Isopoda for the reason that a very small number has been reported from here, though several specimens are still awaiting identification, deposited in the Marine Reference Collection and Resource Centre, University of Karachi. This is again mainly a marine group found along coasts as well as in deep ocean down to 8200m. Most stay on the bottom and hide in the mud, among plants, colonial animals, debris or empty gastropod shells, although a few can be planktonic. occurs only temporarily in non-marine habitats. Of the approximately 500 known species of Tanaidacea the largest is Herpotanas kirkegaardi Wolff which attains length of 2.5cm.The classification adopted here is that given by Heard et al.(2002). Little is known about endemicity or distributional patterns of Pakistani genera and species .
From Pakistan 4 species have been reported. These are: Tanaidomorpha: l (Kazmi and Siddiqui, 1992); Apseudomorpha: 3 (Bacescu, 1978, 1980; Kazmi and Siddiqui, 2001).
This list is a part of a comprehensive illustrated list of marine fauna of Pakistan compiled by the fist author. The new record from Pakistan are marked by an asterisk(*). The authorities to the higher taxa are not included in “References”.
