The diagnosis and description of Aatolana provided by Bruce (1993b) is emended here based on the material of Aatolana examined in this study and in that of Keable (1997). Particularly important changes to the original diagnosis of Aatolana include: the recognition of a small secondary unguis on the dactylus of pereopods 1-7 in the species described here; variation in the form of the frontal lamina; and variation in the setation of pereopod 7.</p><p>Three uniqu.e apomorphies characterising species of Aatolana were recognised by Bruce (1993b): the prominent, posteriorly acute epimera of pleonite 3; the complexrefolded lobe on the lateral margin of the peduncle of pleopods 1-5; and the structure of the frontal lamina. Of these suggested apomorphies, only the enlarged epimera of pleonite 3 (which is made additionally distinctive by having a row of slender setae along the medial longitudinal carina of the lateral surface) is shared exclusively between species of Aatolana and remains as a putative unique synapomorphy of these species that unambiguously defines the genus. Examination of all three species of Aatolana and also the figures ofA. rapax Bruce, 1993b, shows that the refolding of the lobe on the lateral margin of the pleopod peduncle is poorly developed on pleopod 1 but characteristic of pleopods 2-5 (Keable, 1996b). On these pleopods the lobe extends distally on the peduncles (see Fig. 2). Furthermore, examination of specimens of species of Bathynomus A. Milne Edwards, 1879, Booralana Bruce, 1986 and an undescribed taxon similar to Dolicholana elongata (H. Milne Edwards, 1840) show that they have a comparable lobe on the lateral margin of the peduncle of the pleopods (Keable, 1996b). Additionally, the structure of the frontal lamina cannot be recognised as a unique synapomorphy shared by species ofAatolana because this character varies considerably among the three species now placed in this genus and can actually be used to discriminate these species (Keable, 1997; this study). However, the variation in structure of the frontal lamina found in these species is relatively simple and it may be possible to hypothesize a transformation series for this character when the phylogeny of the Cirolanidae is better understood.</p><p>Bruce (1993b) suggested that species of Aatolana were similar only to species of Booralana, with which they share comparable elongate eyes, prominent flattened penes, a medially indented cephalon and prominent epimera on pleonite 3. Bruce (1993b) further noted that the structure of the frontal lamina differed between species placed in these two genera. However, the frontal lamina of species of Booralana has been described as being formed from two parts, an anterior half and a posteroventral section which projects (Bruce, 1986; Camp &amp; Heard, 1988). This description matches that of the frontal lamina of the species of Aatolana described here. Furthermore, an additional character shared between species placed in these two genera, which has not been remarked upon previously, is the slender accessory lamella at the posterior proximolateral angle of the exopod of pleopods 1-4 which has been described in species of Aatolana (Holdich et al. 1981; Bruce, 1986, 1993b; this study). The shape and position of this lamella indicates its homology with the upturned lobe found in this location in species of Booralana (see Camp &amp; Heard, 1988, figs 4A-E; Keable, 1996b). While Aatolana has not been placed in a subfamily these additional characters further suggest a close relationship with Booralana . Booralana has also beenlinked withBathynomus, Parabathynomus Barnard, 1924 and Cirolana quadripustulata Hurley, 1957 (Bruce, 1981a, b, 1986; Botosaneanu et aI., 1986; Wagele, 1989). Bathynomus and Parabathynomus have been placed in the subfamily Cirolaninae Dana, 1852 while C. quadripustulata remains incertae sedis. However, according to Bruce (1986: 223) C. quadripustulata also shares characters found in Natatolana Bruce, 1981a which is placed in the Conilerinae Kensley &amp; Schotte, 1989.</p><p>An additional noteworthy character found in species of Aatolana, which has not been remarked upon previously, is the presence of a large, triangular, highly sclerotized structure imbedded in the body of the left mandible between the setalrow and the incisor (Fig. 1). This structure occurs in A. rapax and the species described here but not A. schioedtei . A similar large triangular structure is found partially fused to the distal side of the setal row on the left mandible of species of Bathynomus (see illustrations of B. giganteus A. Milne Edwards, 1879 by A. Milne Edwards &amp; Bouvier (1902, plate 4) and also B. immanis Bruce, 1986 and B. pelor Bruce, 1986 by Bruce (1986, figs 90F, 91F); Keable (1996b, plate 2.2.2). This structure appears to be absent in many other genera of the Cirolanidae (Keable, 1996b) . The function and phylogenetic significance of this structure is unknown. Although Brusca et al. (1995) concluded that a lacinia mobilis is absent in the Cirolanidae, the morphology and position of this structure in Bathynomus suggest it is homologous to the lacinia mobilis of other peracaridan crustaceans. It also appears to play a similar role as a guiding and locking mechanism for the mandible (Dahl &amp; Hessler, 1982). This structure cannot act in the same way as a lacinia mobilis in species of Aatolana because it is embedded in the mandible surface. However, this may represent a transition from the condition found in Bathynomus .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03877748FFF0FFC3497EFA2BB555F3DC	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Aatolana springthorpei is most similar to A. rapax but can be distinguished by the posteroventrally projecting frontal lamina and shorter antennae (extending to the posterior of pereonite 5 in A. rapax). Aatolana schioedtei is also similar. However, in A. schioedtei the structure of the frontal lamina differs, the posterior margin of coxa 7 is distinctly concave, the lateral margins of the uropod rami are strongly sinuate (especially the exopod), pereopod 7 has a greater number of distinctly plumose setae on the margins of the basis, ischium and merus, and the pleotelson of adults has fine setae covering much of the dorsal surface.</p><p>Parker (1995) reported that iridescence may be displayed by light reflected from diffraction gratings occurring on the aesthetascs of the antennule of Aatolana rapax . This was based on observations of the material examined by Keable (1997). Similar iridescence is also encountered in a variety of other cirolanid isopods, such as A. springthorpei, A. schioedtei, Bathynomus spp., Booralana spp., Cirolana spp., Plakolana spp. and an undescribed taxon similar to Dolicholana elongata, but has not been found in any species of Natatolana (personal observation).</p><p>Distribution: east coast of Australia-off northern Queensland and New South Wales. In depths of approximately 200 m.</p><p>Ecology: Aatolana springthorpei is a scavenger as are other members of the genus (Bruce, 1993b; Keable, 1997).</p><p>ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. I would like to thank Dr J.K. Lowry for making the material described here available for me to study. I am also grateful to Dr G.D.F. Wilson for comments on an initial draft of the manuscript, and to Mr R.T. Springthorpe who composed and inked the plates of my illustrations.
