A New Species

The present study focuses on shrimps belonging to the genus Lysmata Risso, 1816, collected from Madagascar during the Atimo Vatae expedition carried out in 2010. Lysmata malagasy sp. nov. is a new species belonging to the clade named “long accessory ramous” or “cosmopolitan” in previous phylogenetic studies. The new species can be distinguished from the only two other representatives of this group in the Indo-west Pacific, L. ternatensis De Man, 1902, and L. trisetacea (Heller, 1861), by the accessory ramus of the lateral antennular flagellum consisting of four elongated articles. Lysmata lipkei Okuno & Fiedler, 2010 is reported here from Madagascar with a remarkable extension of its known range after its original description from Japan. This species has also been reported from Singapore and, as alien species, from Brazil. Lastly, L. kuekenthali De Man, 1902 known from numerous localities in the Indo-West Pacific biogeographic area, is reported for the first time from Madagascar. Results of the present morphological and molecular analyses suggest that L. hochi Baeza & Anker, 2008 from the Caribbean Sea is a synonym of the Indo-West Pacific L. kuekenthali, and thus the latter species is alien in the western Atlantic.

A New Species

The pontoniine shrimp genus Ancylomenes Okuno & Bruce, 2009 now includes 17 Indo-West Pacific species (Okuno & Bruce 2009). With a few exceptions, such as A. aesopius (Bate, 1863) and A. longicarpus (Bruce & Svoboda, 1983), these present a highly consistent morphology, differing at species level principally in details of the rostrum, third abdominal somite, ophthalmic process, dentition of the second pereiopod chelae, and ambulatory propods and dactyls. This consistency renders detailed descriptions repetitive and largely redundant.

A New Species

A new species of the pontoniine shrimp genus Palaemonella Dana, 1852, from the Red Sea is described and illustrated. Found from 519–544m; this is the greatest depth from which this genus has so far been reported. It is a species of the Indo-West Pacific P. dolichodactylus species complex, to the taxa of which a key is provided.

Alpheid Shrimp

The Indo-West Pacific alpheid shrimp genus Athanopsis Coutière, 1897 is briefly reviewed. Athanopsis platyrhynchusCoutière, 1897, the type species, is reassessed using Coutière’s illustrations and morphological notes scattered throughouthis monograph of the family Alpheidae (Coutière 1899). Athanopsis brevirostris Banner & Banner, 1981, originally de-scribed on the basis of a single immature specimen missing both chelipeds, is reported and illustrated based on fresh ma-terial from Madagascar and southern Japan. Athanopsis gotoi sp. nov. is described based on two fresh specimens fromsouthern Japan, both found associated with thalassematid echiurans, and an additional, older museum specimen from In-donesia. The colour patterns of A. brevirostris, A. gotoi sp. nov., A. saurus Anker, 2011, A. rubricinctuta Berggren, 1991,and A. australis Banner & Banner, 1982, are contrasted to facilitate their identification in the field. A morphology and colour based key to all presently known species of Athanopsis is also provided.

Copepoda Cyclopoida

Abstract A new species of the cyclopoid copepod genus Paramacrochiron, P. tridentatum, which is parasitic on the rhizostome medusa, Versuriga anadyoneme (Maas, 1903), is described from Vietnam. This is the tenth species within the genus. The new species is distinguishable from other congeners by the combination of the following features: (1) female second maxillipedal segment with 3 acutely pointed processes terminally; (2) female leg 4 endopod as long as or slightly longer than exopod; (3) male maxilliped with a small, acutely pointed process at subterminal corner of the first segment and a row of relatively coarse spinules along the inner margin of the second segment. The present study most probably implies a high species diversity of Paramacrochiron in the tropical and subtropical waters of the Indo-West Pacific region.
