Thirty one taxa were found, all except three belonging to the subfamily Pontoniinae. One species of pontoniine shrimp is new: Periclimenes burrup sp. novo is described and illustrated, and seven are new to the Western Australian fauna. The pontoniine shrimp fauna of Western Australia is summarised. INTRODUCTION the pontoniine shrimps now known from Western The marine palaemonoid fauna of Western Australia is provided and the results are Australia has attracted less attention than that of summarised in Table 1. Australia's eastern seabord. The fauna is dominated Many more pontoniine (and other) shrimp species by shrimps of the subfamily Pontoniinae, usually may be expected to be found in the future in small, often cryptic, and frequently inconspicuous Western Australian waters. The present total may associates of other marine invertebrate hosts, be compared with that of a single small reef on the particularly sponges, coelenterates, echinoderms southern Great Barrier Reef, Heron I., with over 100 and sea squirts. species (Bruce, 1981).

J. BRUCE Crustacea Section, Queensland Museum, P. O. Box 3300, South Brisbane, Queensland, Australia 4101. E-mail: [email protected]. Abstract Recent collections of pontoniine shrimps from Heron Island, southern Great Barrier Reef, have provided further additions to the Australian marine fauna. A new species, Periclimenes poriphilus sp. nov., is described and illustrated. It is the first species of its genus to be found actually in a sponge host. Several other Periclimenes species have been reported as associates of sponges. Periclimenaeus arthrodactylus Holthuis, 1952, is reported for the second time only, previously known only from a single specimen collected in the Pulau Sailus Ketjil, Java Sea, Indonesia, in 1899, and new to the Australian fauna. Further specimens of Typton wasini Bruce, 1977 are recorded and Typton nanus Bruce, 1987 is re-assessed as a junior synonym of T. wasini, having been based on a juvenile specimen. An up-dated checklist of the Heron Island pontoniine fauna is also provided. Key words: Crustacea, Decapoda, Pontoniinae, Periclimenes poriphilus sp. nov., Periclimenaeus arthrodactylus Holthuis, 1952, first Australian record, Typton nanus Bruce, 1987, synonymized with T. wasini Bruce 1977, revised checklist of Heron Island pontoniine shrimps, Great Barrier Reef Introduction During the years 1975–1980 an intensive study of the pontoniine shrimp fauna of Heron Island and the adjacent Wistari Reef was carried out and the results summarised in a report by Bruce (1981a).

  • Shallow-Water Palaemonoid Shrimps from New Caledonia (Crustacea : Decapoda)

Box 4646, Dxwin, Australia 0801 ABSTRACT A collection of palaemonoid shrimps from New Caledonian waters less than 100 m depth has been examined and found to include 39 species, including three new species, Palemonella dolichodactylus, Periclimenes ischiospìnusus and P. tenuirostris, and fourteen species new to the New Caledonian fauna, increasing to 67 the number of marine palaemonoid shrimps known from New Caledonia. RESUME Une collection de crevettes palaemonides trouvees dans les eaux de moins de 100 m de profondeur en Nouvelle-Cal6donie a CtC examinee et 39 espèces ont Ct6 identifiees, trois d'entres elles sont nouvelles pour la science, Palaemonella dolichodactylus, Periclimenes ischiospinosus, P. tenuirostris, et quatorze espèces sont nouvelles pour la faune de Nouvelle-Caledonie. Le nombre des espèces de crevettes palaemonides marines est maintenant port6 h soixante-sept. La zoogeographie de ces espèces est brièvement diScutCe. INTRODUCTION The marine palaemonoid shrimps of New Caledonia have not attracted a great deal of study. Early collections were made by Abbe CULLIERETin 1890 and deposited in the collections of the Museum national d'Histoire naturelle, Paris, some of which were reported upon by KEMP (1922). HOLTHUIs (1953) recorded the presence of Stegopontonia commensalis. BRUCE (1968, 1970 a, 1970 c) added nine further species to the New Caledonian fauna list and more recently a series of papers by MONOD (1969,1972,1973,1976 a, 1976 b) provided data on a further nine species.

Abstract A new genus of the subfamily Pontoniinae, Ancylomenes gen. nov. is established for the ‘Periclimenes aesopius species group’ of the genus Periclimenes Costa. The new genus is distinguished from other genera of Pontoniinae on account of the strongly produced inferior orbital margin with reflected inner flange, and the basicerite of the antenna armed with an angular dorsal process. Fourteen species have been previously recognized as belonging to the ‘P. aesopius species group’. One Eastern Pacific species (P. lucasi Chace), and two Atlantic species (P. anthophilus Holthuis & Eibl- Eibesfeldt, and P. pedersoni Chace) are now also placed in Ancylomenes gen. nov. A further new species associated with a cerianthid sea anemone, A. luteomaculatus sp. nov. is described and illustrated on the basis of specimens from the Ryukyu Islands, southern Japan, and Philippines. A key for their identification, and a checklist of the species of Ancylomenes gen.

  • Australia's Carceral Islands in the Colonial Period, 1788–1901
    IRSH 63 (2018), Special Issue, pp. 45–63 doi:10.1017/S0020859018000214 © 2018 Internationaal Instituut voor Sociale Geschiedenis A Natural Hulk: Australia’s Carceral Islands in the Colonial Period, 1788–1901* K ATHERINE R OSCOE Institute of Historical Research, University of London Senate House, Malet Street, London, WC1E 7HU, UK E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: During the British colonial period, at least eleven islands off the coast of Australia were used as sites of “punitive relocation” for transported European convicts and Indigenous Australians. This article traces the networks of correspondence between the officials and the Colonial Office in London as they debated the merits of various offshore islands to incarcerate different populations. It identifies three roles that carceral islands served for colonial governance and economic expansion. First, the use of con- victs as colonizers of strategic islands for territorial and commercial expansion. Second, to punish transported convicts found guilty of “misconduct” to maintain order in colonial society. Third, to expel Indigenous Australians who resisted colonization from their homeland. It explores how, as “colonial peripheries”, islands were part of a colo- nial system of punishment based around mobility and distance, which mirrored in microcosm convict flows between the metropole and the Australian colonies. ISLAND INCARCERATION Today, the island continent of Australia has more than 8,000 smaller islands off its coast.1 As temperatures rose 6,000 years ago, parts of the
