Abstract |
Four species of Stegidotea Poore (S. pinnata Poore, S. longipes sp. nov., S. carinata sp. nov. and S. forcipes sp. nov.) are reported from deep water in the region of New Caledonia. The last of these is unusual in several respects having a complex seta on the palm of the first three pereopods, subequal uropodal rami, a spike-like molar process and a habitus different from all other species of the genus. Symmius philippinensis sp. nov. is described from the Philippines, the third species in this north-western Pacific genus. The 14 species of Chaetiliidae known from the Western Pacific (Japan, Philippines, New Caledonia, Australia and New Zealand) are tabulated. |
