A New Species

A new species of Alpheus, A. samudra nov. sp., is described from the bycatch of trawlers operating between 275–375 m depth on the Quilon Bank (Kerala, India). The new species belongs to the brevirostris group, but can be easily distinguished from all but one species, by the extremely laterally compressed major cheliped. Alpheus samudra nov. sp. is very similar to A. leptocheles Banner & Banner, 1975 in the form of the major cheliped, but the proportions of the fingers to the palm and the shape of the fingers easily separate both species.

Branchial Region

A new species of spider crab is described from two male specimens collected from the southeastern Arabian Sea. This species differs from its congeners in the absence of uograstric granule on carapace, the presence of two granules along lateral margin of carapace at branchial region, the presence of granules on P2–P4 dactyli and the constricted distal tip of the male first gonopod.

Antennular Peduncle

A new species of the snapping shrimp genus Alpheus Fabricius, 1798, A. longipalma, is described and illustrated on the basis of material from Kagoshima Bay, Kyushu, Japan. It is referred to the A. brevirostris (Olivier, 1811) species group, and appears closest to A. macroskeles Alcock & Anderson, 1894, known with certainty from the Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea, and A. talismani Coutière, 1898 from the eastern Atlantic. The greatly elongate minor cheliped in males, being subequal to or longer than the major cheliped with proportionally shorter dactylus distinguish the new species from A. macroskeles. The less elongate antennular peduncle and better-developed, rounded distal lamella of the antennal scaphocerite differentiate the new species from A. talismani. All specimens of the new species were trawled from depths greater than 200 m.

A New Species

A new species of Athanas is described from the Iranian side of the Strait of Hormuz connecting the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman. Athanas iranicus n. sp. is the only species in the genus characterised by the presence of dense setal brushes on the dorsolateral margin of the carpus and on most of the palm of the major and minor chelipeds; the presence of an additional setal brush on the dactylus of the major cheliped; a frontal margin with an untypically short rostrum and short, triangular extra-corneal teeth; and mostly concealed eyestalks.
