Stylocerite acute, outer margin slightly concave, inner margin convex, overreaching the distal margin of first antennular peduncle article (Fig. 1 B). Scaphocerite 0.7–1.0 (avg. 0.9, n=14) as long as carapace, distal tooth not overreaching blade (Fig. 1 C).

Pereopods 1 and 2 without epipod, pereopods 3 and 4 with reduced epipod, pereopod 5 without epipod. Pereopod 2 chelate, equal in size (Fig. 1 D, E), carpus with 18–28 (avg. 22, n=12) articles. Pereopod 3 overreaching scaphocerite with carpus distal fourth; propod 0.57–0.75 (avg. 0.7, n=6) times as long as carapace; 12.7–15.6 (avg. 13.7, n=6) times longer than dactyl (Fig. 2 A), dactyl with four stout setae (Fig. 2 B). Abdomen with dorsal surface of somite 3 rounded; pleura of somite 3 rounded, of somite 4 triangular but not acute, somite 5 triangular and acute (Fig. 2 C). Telson 0.87–1.19 (avg. 1.01, n=14) times as long as abdominal somite 6; not sulcate in dorsal midline, with three pairs of dorsolateral stout setae, and three pairs of stout distal setae (Fig. 2 D).</p><p>Distribution: Western Atlantic: Virginia (U.S.A.), Mexico (Gulf of Mexico), Bahamas, Brazil (Pernambuco, Sergipe, Rio de Janeiro). Eastern Atlantic: Spain, Canary Islands, Madeira Islands; Morocco; Senegal, Angola. Mediterranean. Indian and Pacific: La Reunion, Indonesia, Philippines, Taiwan, New Britain, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiji, French Polynesia, Tubuai, Society Islands, Eastern Australia. Adults living in depths from 50 to 680 m, most commonly 200 to 400 m (modified from Chace 1940; Crosnier &amp; Forest, 1973; Chan &amp; Yu, 1991; Chan &amp; Crosnier, 1997; Cabral et al., 2000).</p><p>Remarks: Chan &amp; Crosnier (1997) organized the Plesionika species that occur in French Polynesia in groups to make comparisons and discussions clearer. According to them, Plesionika edwardsii is placed alone in her own group.</p><p>The material examined herein presents rostrum with less ventral and dorsal teeth (30–49; 19–33) than observed by Chace (1985) (33–50; 28–34) in Philippines material and Chan &amp; Yu (1991) (37–51; 28–36) in material from various localities, but the range of Brazilian material includes that observed by Kensley et al. (1987) (36–44; 21–28) in Eastern Australian material. Besides that, the average of ventral (42) and dorsal (28) teeth observed in Brazilian material fits on the range observed by these authors for Plesionika edwardsii, and the teeth disposition in both margins also agrees with their descriptions. The number of post-rostral teeth observed in Brazilian material (two or three) is also in the range observed by Chace (1985) (one to three) and by Chan &amp; Yu (1991) (two to four). The rostrum and telson size observed herein (1.7–2.3 as long as carapace and 0.87–1.19 as long as abdominal somite 6) agrees with that observed by Kensley et al. (1987) (1.8–2.3 and 0.9–1.0). Kensley et al. (1987) and Chan &amp; Yu (1991) observed epipods on pereopods 1–4 reduced, but Chan &amp; Yu (1991) observed that sometimes they are inconspicuous on pereopods 1 and 2. In the Brazilian material, the epipods in pereopods 3 and 4 are also reduced and the epipods in pereopods 1 and 2 are always inconspicuous.</p><p>The closest species to P. e d w a rd s i i is Plesionika crosnieri Chan &amp; Yu, 1991 described from Taiwan. As cited by the authors, the main differences between these species are the number of post-rostral teeth (two to four versus only one), the number of ventral and dorsal teeth (37–52, 27–36 versus 30–43, 16–19) and the distal tooth of scaphocerite overreaching blade or not. The Brazilian material presents all the features cited above to P. e d w a rd s i i, only the average of rostrum ventral teeth (42) fits in the range of both species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/265887F1FD05FFE2FF2AE2F04C2795F2	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Eastern Atlantic: Senegal, Gabon, Congo, Angola. Indian and Pacific: Andaman Sea, Arabian Sea, Hawaii, Fiji. Adults in Atlantic founded in depths from 230 to 732 m, in Indo-West-Pacific in depths from 101 to 1251 m, the shallowest record is in Hawaiian waters at 55 m (modified from De Man, 1920; Crosnier &amp; Forest, 1973; Cabral et al., 2000).</p><p>Remarks: Working with material from Brazilian waters (9o05`N / 34o50`W, Alagoas), collected by the Challenger Expedition, Bate (1888) described Plesionika uniproducta based on two specimens, one male and one female. According to Crosnier &amp; Forest (1973), the female is actually P. e n s i s and the male is actually Plesionika martia (A. Milne Edwards, 1883) . In this way, Bate (1988) was the first to record P. e n s i s and P. martia to Brazilian waters, both identified as P. uniproducta .</p><p>According to Chan &amp; Crosnier (1997) Plesionika ensis is in a group together with Plesionika reflexa Chace, 1985 . These species are very similar as pointed by Chace (1985), Crosnier (1986), Chan &amp; Crosnier (1997) and Fransen (2006). Chace (1985) compares the type series of P. reflexa with specimens identified as P. e n s i s from various parts of the world and gives several characters that might prove to be of specific significance. The proportional length of dactyl and propod of pereopod 3 being 0.17–0.25 in the 14 specimens of P. e n s i s from western Atlantic and 0.30–0.46 in P. reflexa from South China Sea and Philippines; in the Brazilian material this proportion is 0.13–0.23, with the average of 0.18 (n=11) fitting with the range of western Atlantic P. e n s i s. Populations of P. e n s i s from East Atlantic, however, have a similar ratio (0.26–0.40), as P. re f l e x a material cited above (Chace, 1985; Fransen, 2006). In Hawaiian material of P. e n s i s there are two forms, one with a very short dactyl (0.12–0.16) and other with a range intermediate (0.21–0.30) between that of the western and Eastern Atlantic populations (Chace, 1985).</p><p>Other feature cited by Chace (1985) as useful to distinguish both species is the dorsal spine on abdominal somite 3 with a tendency to recurve upwards in P. reflexa, whereas no such inclination has been noticed in typical form of P. e n s i s. Chan &amp; Crosnier (1997) mentioned that the absence of any specimen with a recurved dorsal spine in the Atlantic is sufficient reason to not synonymize P. reflexa with P. e n s i s. In the 13 Brazilian specimens examined herein the dorsal spine on abdominal somite 3 is straight (Fig. 4 C).</p><p>The scaphocerite distal tooth also may be of taxonomic importance, in P. reflexa it slightly overreaches blade, while in P. e n s i s it strongly overreaches blade (Chace, 1985; Fransen, 2006), as was observed in Brazilian material (Fig. 3 C). Chan &amp; Crosnier also pointed that the western Atlantic population of P. e n s i s presents a rostrum 2.2–2.8 (avg. 2.5) times carapace length, with 35–48 ventral teeth (avg. 42, n=6). The material herein examined fits in this range, with rostrum 2.3–2.6 (avg. 2.4, n=6) times as long as carapace and ventral margin with 40–51 teeth (avg. 43, n=6).</p><p>Chan &amp; Crosnier (1997) comment that many more species may be also present in the material now identified as P. e n s i s and P. reflexa (as occur with the great diversity of species contained in the “ P. m a r t i a (A. Milne Edwards, 1883)” (Chace, 1985) and “ P. narval (Fabricius, 1787) ” (Chan &amp; Crosnier, 1991) groups). Or the problem of these two species may be similar to the case of P. e d w a rd s i i and P. crosnieri, in which both species are distributed in the Indo-Pacific but only one occurs in the Atlantic (Chan &amp; Yu, 1991; Chan &amp; Crosnier, 1997).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/265887F1FD03FFE7FF2AE54E484096FD	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Adults living in depths from 54 to 700 m (modified from Crosnier &amp; Forest, 1968; 1973).</p><p>Remarks: Based on a material from Western Atlantic collected by “Blake” expedition, A. Milne Edwards (1883) figured Plesionika miles (as Pandalus miles) from Martinique Island for the first time. According to the new edition (Forest &amp; Holthuis, 1997) of the study done by A. Milne Edwards in 1883, the Museum of Comparative Zoology no longer has any of the specimens of P. miles figured originally. There are two lots, however, in the Muséum National d´Historie Naturelle (MNHN), Paris (Na 2024, Na 2025) collected by “Blake”, they are from Dominica and one has the indication “ Type ”. Forest &amp; Holthuis (1997) also considered the possibility that the indications in legend of the original figure may be incorrect, or that the Paris Museum material are possible syntypes of P miles . Crosnier &amp; Forest (1968; 1973) examined and figured the P. m i l e s material from MNHN, in order to compare it with one species that they described ( Plesionika brevipes Crosnier &amp; Forest, 1968).</p><p>Plesionika brevipes was found in the Eastern Atlantic and according to Crosnier &amp; Forest (1968; 1973) it is very closely related with P. m i l e s, mainly in carapace and rostrum morphology. The features cited by Crosnier &amp; Forest (1968; 1973) to distinguish P. brevipes from P. m i l e s and the comparison with Brazilian material features are presented in Table 1. The Brazilian material fits in all the main features cited by them as distinctive to P. m i l e s.</p><p>Other species close related with P. m i l e s is Plesionika willisi described by Pequegnat (1970) with material from the Gulf of Mexico. The author (Pequegnat, 1970) pointed as the main differences between these species, the number of rostrum ventral teeth, 18–22 in P. willisi and 34–35 in P. m i l e s (avg. 31 in Brazilian P. miles), and the pereopods that are considerably longer in P. willisi . Cruz &amp; Fransen (2004) pointed that P.</p><p>willisi presents the telson about 0.7 length of abdominal somite 6 (avg. 0.8 in Brazilian P. miles), carpus of pereopod 2 with 17–19 articles (15–19 in Brazilian P. m i l e s) and the pereopod 3 overreaching sacphocerite by distal part of merus (overreaching by carpus distal 1/8–1/ 10 in Brazilian P. miles).</p><p>A striking question about P. m i l e s is regarding the presence of epipods on pereopods. De Man (1920) commented that the presence of epipods on pereopods of four Parapandalus species (P. m i l e s, P. escatilis, P. longicauda and P. stylopus) was unknown. Crosnier &amp; Forest (1968) affirms that the epipods are absent in the pereopods of P. brevipes but no comments were done about the epipods in P. miles . Cruz &amp; Fransen (2004) included P. m i l e s in the key to Atlantic species of Plesionika in a group that lacks epipods on pereopods, but no comments were done. The Brazilian material of P. miles presents epipods in pereopods 1–4 and probably the syntype series of this species also has these structures which have been overlooked for all these years.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/265887F1FD0FFFE8FF2AE2F04C79963C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Pereopods without epipods; pereopod 2 with carpus subdivided in to more than three articles (modified from Chace, 1985).</p><p>Remarks: Chace (1985) affirms that the single species that prompted Coutière (1905) to propose the subgenus Stylopandalus seems sufficiently distinct from the members of the genus Plesionika to justify generic recognition. The author pointed that the most significant feature, taxonomically, is the elongate terminal segment of the maxilliped 2 (Fig. 8 A). Also of generic importance, is the slender movable spine in abdominal somite 3 (but it is frequently lost), and the appendix masculina on pleopod 2 unusually slender, with long stout setae along the anterior margin (Fig. 8 B). The dactyls of pereopods 3–5 with single distal long stout setae were incomplete (in more than a half of their length, Fig. 8 C) in Brazilian material observed herein.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/265887F1FD0CFFECFF2AE2F04C8995A8	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Stylocerite outer and inner margin convex, apex triangular, not reaching the distal margin of first antennular peduncle article (Fig. 7 B). Scaphocerite 0.87 as long as carapace, with rounded apex, distal tooth strongly overreaching blade (Fig. 7 C). Maxilliped III with epipod, penultimate segment as long as terminal segment. Pereopods 1–5 without epipod. Pereopod 2 chelate, equal in size (Fig. 7 D, E), carpus with 11 articles. Dorsal surface of abdominal somite 3 rounded and pronounced; pleura of somites 4 and 5 triangular but not acute (Fig. 8 D), abdominal somite 6 3.3 times as long as high. Telson as long as abdominal somite 6; sulcate on dorsal midline, with four pairs of dorsolateral stout setae, and two pairs of stout distal setae (Fig. 8 E).</p><p>Distribution: Western Atlantic: New Foundland (Canada), Mexico (Gulf of Mexico), Bermudas, Cadix, Brazil (Rio de Janeiro). Eastern Atlantic: Azores Island, Canary Islands, Madeira Islands, Gibraltar, Gulf of Guinea, Adriatic Sea, Red Sea, Gabon, Congo, Angola. Mediterranean. Indian and Pacific: Natal, Philippines, Seychelles, Sumatra, Indonesia, Malay Archipelago, Gulf of Bengal, Banda Sea, Australia, Hawaii, Alaska. Absent from South and East China seas and from the large islands of Japan. Adults are pelagic, living in depths from 7 meters to 3600 m (modified from Calman, 1939; Chace 1940, 1985; Pequegnat, 1970; Crosnier &amp; Forest, 1973).</p><p>Remarks: The specimen examined herein presents a number of rostral ventral teeth (18) fitting in the range cited by Chace (1985) to Philippines material (16–27). The number of dorsal teeth (11) however is lower than the range cited by Chace (1985) (15–21) and by Pequegnat to Gulf of Mexico material (16–18). Instead the rostrum of the specimen examined is brooked in its extreme distal end, it is possible to conclude that only a small portion was lost, and the proportion of its length in relation with carapace is 2.8, agreeing with that cited by Pequegnat (1970), Chace (1940; 1985) and Kensley et al. (1987). The number of articles on carpus of pereopod 2 is 11, also in the range (7–13) pointed by Chace (1985) and Kensley et al. (1987), and the relative size of abdominal somite 6 (3.3) agrees with that cited in literature: at least three times as long as high (Pequegnat, 1970; Chace, 1949; 1985; Kensley et al., 1987). The long posteromesial stout seta on abdominal somite 3 and the distal end of the dactyl of pereopods were lost in the examined specimen.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/265887F1FD0AFFEFFF2AE3894C2B94EA	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
