| Abstract |
Five species of Galatheidae : Alainius crosnieri new genus and new species, Phylladiorhynchus integrirostris (Dana, 1853), P. ikedai (Miyake & Baba, 1965), P. pusillus (Henderson, 1885), and Leiogalathea laevirostris (Balss, 1913), collected from New Caledonia are reported. Phylladiorhynchus antonbruuni Tirmizi & Javed, 1980, is transferred to Munida. Phylladiorhynchus serrirostris (Melin, 1939) is synonymized with P. integrirostris. It is suggested that Phylladiorhynchus caribensis Mayo, 1972, be removed from the genus and eventually placed in a new genus. |
