Gnathopod 2 coxa</p> <p>RAFFLES BULLETIN OF ZOOLOGY 2016</p> <p>posterodistal corner with robust seta; carpus subtriangular, 0.9 times propodus length; propodus rectilinear, palm subacute, without distomedial shelf, palmar margin irregular, entire, lined with short robust setae, defined by posteroventral corner, with 3 spaced long robust setae; dactylus weakly recurved, closing short of palm, margins smooth. Telson lobes with 1 long and 2 short apical robust setae.</p> <p>Variation. Uropod 3 increases with growth stage (often regenerating or missing, broken off during sample processing).</p> <p>Remarks. The male gnathopod 2 propodus palm of Q. meufong, new species, has a large bubble-like expanded cuticle covered in fine setae. In the few male specimens on hand, the expanded palm cuticle may be collapsed or inflated, and it is unclear if this is related to preservation technique (with the tegument collapsing during fixation/ preservation) or growth stage (larger males have a more inflated structure) (Figs 4, 6). The palmar structure is enclosed by an outer and inner layer of cuticle (Fig. 6B), and there are no hemolymphal connection to propodus observed. The cuticular layers are seemingly peeled and inflated structure derived from ordinary cuticular composition, that is the inner layer might be comparable to endo and exocuticle, while the outer layer is comparable with epicuticle.</p> <p>Quadrivisio meufong, new species, is strikingly similar to Q. lutzi (Shoemaker, 1933) from Georgetown, British Guiana on the northern coast of South America. Both species have a similarly shaped palm of the male gnathopod 2. The presence of two carinae on pleonites 1–3 and urosomite 1 separate Q. meufong from Q. lutzi, which has no carinae on the pleonites, two carinae on urosomite 1, and four carinae in urosomite 2 in female and juveniles and, notably, a smooth dorsum in males (i.e., carina formula 2-2-2-2-0 vs 0-0-0-2-4 or 0-0-0-0-0, respectively).</p> <p>Material identified as Q. bengalensis by Bussarawich (1985) from Thailand do not have robust setae lining the inner margin of the telson and, therefore, may represent juveniles of Q. meufong, instead.</p> <p>Distribution. Thailand. Songkhla Lake (current study).
