Stenopodidean shrimps (Crustacea: Decapoda) from New Caledonian waters.
نویسنده
چکیده
A small collection of 159 specimens of stenopodidean shrimps from New Caledonian waters has been studied and found to represent 13 species in 6 genera, adding 8 new species of stenopodideans to the Southwest Pacific fauna. Two new species are recognized, Richardina crosnieri n. sp. and Spongiocaris neocaledonensis n. sp. Two species of Odontozona are redescribed. Illustrations are provided for all 13 species. Association with host hexactinellid sponges is verified for some of the commensal spongicoloids, and the first association of a stenopodidean shrimp with a gorgonian is reported. Bathymetric ranges are extended for the infraorder, as well as at the generic and specific levels.

Notes on some Indo-Pacific Caridean shrimps (Crustacea: Decapoda: Caridea: Palaemonidae and Gnathophyllidae) particularly from India.

متن کاملSyncrangon, a new crangonid genus, with redescriptions of S. angusticauda (De Haan) and S. dentata (Balss) (Crustacea, Decapoda, Caridea) from East Asian waters.
A new genus of the crangonid shrimps, Syncrangon, is proposed for Crangon angusticauda De Haan, 1849 and C. (Sclerocrangon) angusticauda var. dentata Balss, 1914, both from East Asian waters. The new genus is readily distinguished from all known genera of the Crangonidae by the flattened middorsal carina and the deep groove on each lateral side of the middorsal carina on the third to sixth abdo...
