They also reported Griffinia lappacea (Rathbun, 1918) and Lahaina agassizii (Rathbun, 1902) which were previously known. One specimen, which could not be identified at the time, belongs to a species of Thacanophrys .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/787F87ECCD7F046CF416FB12AB52F9DC	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Oxypleurodon wilsoni sp. nov. belongs in the group of species of Oxypleurodon having long and sharp branchial plates: O. luzonicum (Rathbun, 1916), O. stuckiae (Guinot and Richer de Forges, 1986b), O. karubar Richer de Forges, 1995, and O. lowryi (Richer de Forges, 1992) .</p><p>In O. wilsoni the supraocular plate is sharp anteriorly whereas it is rounded in O. luzonicum . The cardiac plate is small, round and elevated in the middle (round and flat in O. luzonicum). The epibranchial plates are oblong, pointing externally in O. wilsoni but small and triangular in O. luzonicum . The mesogastric plate is ovoid but lozenge-shaped in O. luzonicum . Between the mesogastric spine and the hepatic spine lies a small tubercle absent in O. luzonicum .</p><p>O. wilsoni is distinguishable from O. stuckiae by the presence of a supraocular spine. The pseudorostral spines are longer and less diverging in O. wilsoni than in O. stuckiae . An anterior gastric tubercle in O. wilsoni is not seen in O. stuckiae .</p><p>O. wilsoni differs from O. karubar in the following characters: the epibranchial plate is straight but curved in O. karubar; the pseudorostral spines are straight but enlarged basally in O. karubar; the anterior part of the supraocular plate is spiniform in O. wilsoni but rounded in O. karubar; the hepatic plate touches the postocular plate forming together an L-shape in O. wilsoni but these are several disjointed pieces in O. karubar .</p><p>The shape of the carapace is pyriform in O. wilsoni while it is large and rounded posteriorly in O. lowryi . The supraocular plate points forward in O. wilsoni but laterally in O. lowryi . The branchial spines are straight in O. wilsoni while they are curved in O. lowryi .</p><p>The ambulatory legs of the holotype and paratype from the same sample are mixed and it is not possible to be precise about the relative lengths of pereopods.</p><p>The species was collected over narrow latitudinal and depth ranges.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/787F87ECCD7E046DF7A3FB9CACD3F9DB	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The species is named in honour of Anna McCallum, who sorted and made preliminary identifications of many of the Decapoda of the Western Australian cruises.</p><p>Remarks. Of the 35 species described in the genus Rochinia few have long branchial spines. The only species comparable to R. annae sp. nov. are: R. pulchra (Miers, 1886), R. riversandersoni (Alcock, 1895), R. sibogae Griffin and Tranter, 1986, R. galathea Griffin and Tranter, 1986, R. griffini Davie and Short, 1989, and R. paulayi Ng and Richer de Forges, 2007 . R. galathea has a long branchial spine but a long and flat hepatic spine, very different from the spine of R. annae . R. sibogae has two very long branchial spines pointing laterally but two other long spines, one intestinal and one cardiac (one long gastric spine in R. annae). Also, the postocular tooth is distinct from the hepatic spine in R. annae whereas it is a fused plate in R. sibogae . R. pulchra has long branchial spines but a different pattern in the other long spines of the carapace: four spines in the median line (three in R. annae). R. pulchra possesses pseudorostral spines about three-quarters as long as the carapace but these are one third as long in R. annae . R. riversandersoni is a large species with long branchial spines and long epibranchial spines. R. annae has only a granule at this place. R. paulayi and R. griffini are also large species, very spiny and showing a totally different arrangement of spines from that in R. annae .</p><p>Although there is abundant material no specimen is intact and it is not possible to be precise about the relative lengths of pereopods.</p><p>The species occurs over a wide geographic range along the south-western WA coast.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/787F87ECCD7C046FF7A3FE90AB46FBC5	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

This material from south-eastern Australia fits well with the redescription of R. mosaica by Griffin and Tranter (1986a). Whitelegge described this species in the genus Pugettia in which the carapace has a similar pattern but the first pleopod of Pugettia is very different from that of Rochinia . The records are well within the reported distribution of the species from central Queensland, through Bass Strait to the Great Australian Bight. The most westerly is 130°W near the SA–WA border.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/787F87ECCD7A0469F401FE8DACBAFB20	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

This species was described by Griffin and Tranter (1986b) from specimens from Ceram Island, Indonesia. The authors drew attention to the common confusion between R. sibogae and R. riversandersoni (Alcock, 1895) from India. They gave a short key to species of this group of Rochinia where R. sibogae is clearly separated from the others by the hepatic plate fused with the postocular plate. This new locality for R. sibogae extends the range of the species far south of Indonesia, from 3°S to 20°S on the north-west slope at 1000 m, a similar depth to the type locality.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/787F87ECCD79046AF7BCFDC1AE84FAFC	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
