A new species of cowrie in the genus Erronea (Ipserronea) is described from the muddy coastal estuaries of King Sound, Western Australia, at the mouth of the Fitzroy River. The new cowrie, here named Erronea (Ipserronea) garyi n. sp., is the smallest-known member of its subgenus and inhabits oyster and Pinna beds on intertidal mud flats adjacent to mangrove jungles and river inlets. This new mudflat-dwelling dwarf cowrie is the fifth-known species in the subgenus Ipserronea

A New Species

Uroptychus michaelisp. nov. is described from northwestern Australia and Taiwan. The new species closely resemblesU. nigricapillis, to which northwestern Australian and some Taiwanese records had been previously referred.Uroptychus michaelisp. nov. is readily distinguished fromU. nigricapillisby the deeply excavate cervical groove on the carapace (versus shallow, weakly indicated), more elongate pereopods 2-4 in which the pereopod 2 merus is longer than the postorbital carapace length (versus shorter), and the proportionally longer pereopod 2 carpus, which is as long as or longer than half postorbital carapace length (versus less than half) and approximately twice the length of the dactylus (versus 1.2× or less).

One new species and three new distribution records for the family Crangonidae (Crustacea: Decapoda) are reported from Western Australia. A new species, Philocheras gardenensis sp. nov. is described and illustrated based on specimens collected from the Western Australia. The new species closely resembles Philocheras fasciatus (Risso, 1816), but can be distinguished easily by the absence of lobe-like folds on either side of the middle line of the carapace, the presence of a lateral carina extending from the branchiostegal spine, the longer middorsal carina and distolateral tooth of the antennal scale. A key for the genus Philocheras is provided, including currently, a total of 58 species and subspecies reported worldwide. Range extensions of three Crangonid shrimps are reported within Australia, and they are Philocheras obliquus (Fulton & Grant, 1902), Pontocaris arafurae (Bruce, 1988) and Vercoia gibbosa Baker, 1904.
