November 2015 / Printed: December 2015 Gnathophyllidae is a pantropical and subtropical family of shrimp and the family includes five gen- era with a total of 14 species and subspecies (Bruce 1986, Fransen & Türkay 2012, Fransen et al. 2012). Shrimps of this family are commonly small and have stout bodies. Gnathophyllid shrimps are also popularly known as the bumblebee shrimp. One of the bumblebee shrimps, Gnathophyllum ameri- canum is usually available in the aquarium trade (Calado 2008). The Mediterranean bumblebee shrimp Gna- Figure 1.

G. elegans is widely distributed throughout the Mediterranean Sea; Italian seas, Adriatic Sea, Ae- gean Sea, Alboran Sea, Ionian Sea and coast of Is- rael and adjacent Atlantic regions, the Azores, the Canaries, Madeira and Moroccan Atlantic (Meyer et al. 2014). Although, G. elegans is a well known species in the western Mediterranean (Lewinsohn & Holthuis 1964), it has not been reported from the eastern part of the sea until 1960’s. In the Le- vant, first record of the species was one female specimen from Atlit, Israel in 12 July 1950 (Lewin- Figure 2. The capture sites of the specimens of Gnatho- sohn & Holthuis 1964).

In addition to the three species so far recorded in the region, we report Spongicola goyi for the first time, and formally describe three new species of Spongicolidae. Following the morphological review and DNA sequencing of type specimens, we propose the synonymy of Spongiocaris yaldwyni with S. neocaledonensis and review a proposed broad Indo-West Pacific distribution range of Spongicoloides novaezelandiae. New records for the latter at nearly 54◦ South on the Macquarie Ridge provide the southernmost record for stenopodidean shrimp known to date.

Gnathophyllum taylori, a new species of caridean shrimp from south-eastern Australia (Crustacea: Decapoda: Gnathophyllidae). Memoirs o f Museum Victoria 60(2): 237-242. Anew species of caridean shrimp, Gnathophyllum taylori sp.nov., is described from south-eastern Australia. The new species most closely resembles two Atlantic species, G. modestum Hay, 1917, and G. elegans Risso, 1816, but is readily distinguished by its banded rather than spotted body colour pattern. Gnathophyllum taylori is the third Indo-West Pacific species to be recognised. It differs from G. americanum, with which it can be sympatric, by having fewer and narrower dark bands on the body as well as by the rostral dentition, morphology of the orbit and dactyli of the walking legs. The identity of G. fasciolatum Stimpson, 1860, a junior synonym of G. americanum, is fixed by neotype selection.

  • A New Shrimp Phyllognathia Simplex Sp. No V. (Crustacea, Decapoda, Gnathophyllidae) from Sagami Bay, Japan with 3 Text-Figures
    ANNOTATIONES ZOOLOGICAE JAPONENSES Volume 46, No. 2—June 1973 Published by the Zoological Society of Japan A New Shrimp Phyllognathia simplex sp. no v. (Crustacea, Decapoda, Gnathophyllidae) from Sagami Bay, Japan With 3 Text-figures Takahiro FUJINO Zoological Laboratory, Kyushu University, Fukuoka 812, Japan ABSTRACT A new gnathophyllid shrimp, Phyllognathia simplex sp. nov., the second species of this genus, is described here on the material from Sagami Bay. Remarkable for this species is having the simple dactyli of the ambulatory pereiopods, instead of biunguiculated ones as seen in the other species, P. ceratophthalma (Balss, 1913). The genus Phyllognathia Borradaile, 1915, of the family Gnathophyllidae con- tains a single species, P. ceratophthalma (Balss, 1913), which has so far been recorded only from southern Japan and the Maldive Archipelago. In a comprehensive series of the recent crustacean collections, made by His Majesty the Emperor of Japan in Sagami Bay, central Japan, was the second species of this genus, P. simplex sp. nov. that is described hereupon. This species is remarkable for the ambulatory pereio- pods with the dactyli simple, while P. ceratophthalma has the dactyli distinctly bi- unguiculated. Therefore, the generic diagnosis, with reference to the form of the dactyli of the ambulatory pereiopods, is to be extended for the inclusion of this new shrimp. Phyllognathia simplex sp. nov. Description of holotype (ovigerous female). A small-sized shrimp, with large and extremely flattened chelae of second pereiopods. The rostrum is directed almost straight and very deep in the middle, the apex slightly outreaching the end of the antennular peduncle. The straight upper border is armed with nine subequal teeth, the intervals between these teeth feebly decreasing anteriorly.

  • Decapoda (Crustacea) of the Gulf of Mexico, with Comments on the Amphionidacea
    •59 Decapoda (Crustacea) of the Gulf of Mexico, with Comments on the Amphionidacea Darryl L. Felder, Fernando Álvarez, Joseph W. Goy, and Rafael Lemaitre The decapod crustaceans are primarily marine in terms of abundance and diversity, although they include a variety of well- known freshwater and even some semiterrestrial forms. Some species move between marine and freshwater environments, and large populations thrive in oligohaline estuaries of the Gulf of Mexico (GMx). Yet the group also ranges in abundance onto continental shelves, slopes, and even the deepest basin floors in this and other ocean envi- ronments. Especially diverse are the decapod crustacean assemblages of tropical shallow waters, including those of seagrass beds, shell or rubble substrates, and hard sub- strates such as coral reefs. They may live burrowed within varied substrates, wander over the surfaces, or live in some Decapoda. After Faxon 1895. special association with diverse bottom features and host biota.

Chez la drimo élégante, la longueur atteint 27 mm pour les mâles et 40 mm chez les femelles. Le rostre est court et pourvu de 2 à 5 dents sur son bord supérieur et d'une seule dent sub-apicale sur son bord inférieur. Les deux premières paires de pattes sont terminés par une pince, la seconde paire étant plus forte et plus longue que la première. Le dernier article des pattes suivantes possède une dent robuste dans sa partie concave d'où l'aspect bifide de son extrémité. La rame interne des uropodes est légèrement plus longue que la rame externe. De jour, l'animal est brun-noir ponctué de jaune doré ; la partie la plus antérieure du corps est blanc-jaune clair ou rose pâle tandis que la partie la plus postérieure est plutôt transparente. Les différents appendices sont bleu- violet ; les cornées des yeux sont noires. La nuit, cette crevette devient plus claire voire presque transparente. La biologie de cette espèce peu commune est mal connue. Elle est photophobe et chasserait la nuit ; durant la journée elle resterait à l'abri sous les rochers. Elle pourrait être nettoyeuse, commensale ou prédatrice d'échinodermes (oursins, étoiles de mer et holothuries).

Much scope for further study on the marine carideans of Indian waters still exists and many species must certainly remain to be discovered. Although, the recent checklist on prawn fauna of Indian waters reports 285 species of caridean shrimps (including fresh water forms) (Radhakrishnan et al, 2012). With this, the present study also contributes another report on the documentation of six species of caridean shrimps from the Gulf of Mannar and Lakshadweep waters of In- dian peninsula. Out of six species Ancylomenes magnificus (Bruce), Periclimenes soror Nobili, Stegopontonia commen- salis Nobili, Gnathophyllum americanum Guerin Meneville and Gnathophylloides mineri Schmitt are new to the Indian fauna.

PERICLIMENES ANTIPATHOPHILUS NEW SPECIES, A BLACK CORAL ASSOCIATE FROM THE TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS AND EASTERN HONDURAS Stephen Spotte, Richard W. Heard and Patricia M. Bubucis ABSTRACT A series of Periclimenes antipathophilus new species, a small pontoniine shrimp, was collected from black coral colonies (Antipathes gracilis) in the Turks and Caicos Islands, British West Indies. Additional specimens from Antipathes spp. were collected at Roatan, Honduras. The new species is similar morphologically to P. iridescens but differs in (I) the presence of a triangular tooth on the moveable finger of major pereopod 2; (2) length of the carpus compared with the propodus of the major chela of pereopod 2 (carpus more than !4 length of propodus); (3) the presence of 4 or 5 spine-setae on the propodal flexor margins of pereopods 3-5; (4) the absence of an apical process between the mesial spine-setae on the posterior margin of the telson; and (5) the ventral branch of the lateral antennular flagellum, which is attenuated, of comparable length with the peduncle, and extends 4-6 articles beyond the tip of the antenna1 scale before bearing esthetascs. The two species also differ in color pattern and possibly habitat. Pontoniine shrimps of the genus Periclimenes Costa, 1844 are distributed wide- ly throughout the low-latitude marine waters of the world. Some species are free living, but many are associated
