A new species of Neobathyclupea is described from two specimens collected off Myanmar and off Socotra Island. The new species is most similar to N. malayana, but differs from it and other congeners in having jet-black coloured fins, larger pseudobranch, dorsal-pterygiophore pattern and some body proportions. Neobathyclupea malayana is re-diagnosed. Individual variations in armament of the preopercle and in the dorsal-pterygiophore patterns within Bathyclupeidae are discussed.

The taxonomy of the deep-water homolid crabs Moloha grandperrini Guinot & Richer de Forges, 1995 and M. alisae Guinot & Richer de Forges, 1995 is re-examined, and the types redescribed and figured. Moloha alisae is reported from South Africa for the first time.

AbstractA new species of deep-water crab, Progeryon mus (Geryonidae), is described from Hawaii. The species is allied to P. guinotae from the Indian Ocean as well as P. vaubani and P. mararae from the Pacific, but can easily be separated by various carapace, ambulatory leg, and cheliped characters. Une nouvelle espece de crabe d'eau profonde, Progeryon mus (Geryonidae) est decrite des Hawao. L'esp ece est apparentee a P. guinotae, de l'ocean Indien, ainsi qu'a P. vaubani et P. mararae, du Pacifique, mais peut en etre facilement distinguee par divers caracteres de la carapace, des pattes ambulatoires et des chelipedes.

The amphipod genus Hirondellea Chevreux, 1889 is a cosmopolitan largely bathyal genus. This paper adds a new species from the bathyal Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean, based on material collected by baited traps at 1182, 1184 and 1864 m off the coast of Pakistan. The species can be distinguished from the most closely allied species, Hirondellea brevicaudata (Chevreux, 1910) by the subacute lateral head lobes, the very weakly cleft telson, and characters of the mouthparts. A key to the ten species in the genus is provided.
