Third maxilliped with slender segments bearing setae, with well developed exopod and small epipod, without an arthrobranch. First pereiopod slender, with robust chela and broad, swollen fingers. Second pereiopods highly differ in size and shape; major pereiopod with robust segments, with long subcylindrical long palm, with robust fingers, fixed finger bearing two teeth opposing into deep pits on the dactylus; minor pereiopod is extremely slender, with simple slender fingers. Third pereiopod with unarmed segments; propodus with serrated ventral margin; dactylus is biunguiculate, with slender and curved unguis, ventral margin setose, unarmed or bearing small teeth, preterminal accessory tooth is stout and triangular in shape. Pleopods are normal, endopod of second pleopods in males with well developed appendix masculina bearing numerous terminal spines. Uropods slender, exceeding telson, lateral border of endopod with small distal tooth and mobile spine. Type-species. – Crinotonia anastasiae, new species. Included species. – Crinotonia anastasiae, new species, and Periclimenes attenuatus Bruce, 1971. Taxonomic remarks. – The new genus has a combination of morphological features which is unique in subfamily Pontoniinae: the absence of a podobranch on second maxilliped and an arthrobranch on the third maxilliped, the presence of several disto-lateral and robust mesial ventral teeth on the first antennular segment, the extreme second pereiopods dimorphism, the serrated ventral border of propodus of the third pereiopod and the absence of disto-ventral propodal spines, specialized dactylar form and dactylar dentition. The combination of these features is not found in any other genus of the subfamily. The most morphologically similar genus is Pontoniopsis Borradaile, 1915 with type species P. comanthi Borradaile, 1915 associated with Indo-Pacific crinoids. Pontoniopsis comanthi possesses similar morphological features as short rostrum, absence of podobranch on second and arthrobranch on third maxilliped, occurrence of several disto-lateral and robust mesial ventral teeth on basal antennular segment, extreme second pereiopods dimorphism and similar dactylar form and its dentition (Figs. 11, 12; see also Bruce, 1982). However, the genus Pontoniopsis clearly differs from Crinotonia, new genus, in having highly developed lateral rostral carina, toothless rostrum, absence on hepatic spine, subspatulate dactylus of minor second pereiopod, absence of clear serration of ventral margin and presence of small disto-ventral tooth on propodus of third pereiopod (Figs. 11, 12). Furthermore, representatives of P. comanthi are significantly smaller.	en	Marin, Ivan (2006): Description Of Crinotonia Anastasiae, New Genus, New Species, A New Crinoid Associated Pontoniine Shrimp (Crustacea: Caridea) From Nha Trang Bay, Vietnam, With Inclusion Of Periclimenes Attenuatus Bruce, 1971, In The New Genus.

03BFCE58FFEDFFBC15EBFBFF1B347F68.taxon	discussion	Remarks. – The observed specimens are identical to Bruce’s (1971) original description. However, Li (2004) showed podobranch in material from Indonesia. The rostral formula in Vietnamese material is 3 - 4 / 0 and similar to Bruce’s material. Li (2004) reported the presence of tiny sub-apical ventral tooth on rostrum and a “ podobranch ” on the second maxilliped and absence of epipod on the first maxilliped. During the material dissection I also received the same situation when epipod of first maxilliped was dissected together with second maxilliped attaching to it anteriorly. It looks like “ podobranch ” of second maxilliped while first maxilliped missing its epipod. One of specimens studied (male, PCL 2.3 mm) (Fig. 10) shows the presence of a large disto-lateral tooth and three (large and two small) mesial teeth on the disto-medial border of basal segment of the antennules (Fig. 8 i) that is slightly differ from type material. Minimal PCL of observed ovigerous females is 2.5 mm, for males – 2.0 mm and reaches to 4.2 mm and 3.2 mm respectively that significantly increase the known size of the species.

03BFCE58FFEDFFBC15EBFBFF1B347F68.taxon	distribution	Distribution. – Known from Indonesia, Vietnam, Papua New Guinea and Palau. Taxonomy. – The diagnosis of the genus Periclimenes with the type species P. amethysteus (Risso, 1827) from the Mediterranean Sea includes a well developed rostrum bearing robust dorsal and ventral teeth, second maxilliped with podobranch, small arthrobranch on third maxilliped, slender first pereiopod with simple fingers; similar second pereiopods with chelae not borne in vertical plane, movable finger not ventral, finger without socket and plunger closure, third pereiopod with ventral margin of propodus smooth, with disto-ventral spines, dactylus distinctly biunguiculate (Holthuis, 1952; Chace & Bruce, 1993). Crinotonia attenuatus (Bruce), new combination, shows many differences from the genus Periclimenes Costa, and its inclusion into a new genus is justified. The species is more similar to Crinotonia anastasiae, new species, than to any species of genus Periclimenes with regards to the features reported in diagnosis of Crinotonia, new genus.	en	Marin, Ivan (2006): Description Of Crinotonia Anastasiae, New Genus, New Species, A New Crinoid Associated Pontoniine Shrimp (Crustacea: Caridea) From Nha Trang Bay, Vietnam, With Inclusion Of Periclimenes Attenuatus Bruce, 1971, In The New Genus.
