Several characters, however, are typical of Calantica. Therefore, a new deep water, genus and species is proposed and is accordingly named Crosnieriella acan- Coral Sea, Australia, thosubcarinae.

RÉSUMÉ Un nouveau genre et une nouvelle espèce de Calanticidae (Cirripedia, Thoracica, Scalpellomorpha) des eaux australiennes. Une espèce non encore décrite des MOTS CLES collections de l'Australian Muséum à Sydney rappelle par certains de ses Crustacea, caractères le genre Smilium, tel qu'il est actuellement défini, et ne satisfait pas Thoracica, aux critères qui permettraient de l'inclure dans l'un des autres genres de la Scalpellomorpha, Calanricidae, famille. Plusieurs caractères sont cependant typiques de Calantica. En consé­ eau profonde, quence, un genre nouveau et une espèce nouvelle sont proposés sous le nom Mer du Corail, de Crosnieriella acanthosubcarinae. Les affinités, incertaines, entre genres de Australie, nouvelle espèce. Calanticidae actuellement reconnus sont discutées. ZOOSYSTEMA • 1998 • 20(2) Jones D. S.
