03FE87B4FFBDFF934082FC95FC4EFCC6.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The rostrum of the specimen from stn. CP 2381 is broken; that of photographed specimen from CP 2409 has 46 dorsal mobile spines (11 on the carapace proper), and 22 ventral spines. The RL / CL ratio is 1.05. Colouration. Though this species is rather common, very few photographs of freshly caught animals have been published. The red stripes on the cephalothorax and abdomen and the red circular bands on the thoracic appendages seem to be typical. However, Chan & Yu (1985: 291) indicate that “ Some specimens with paler colour and with red stripes not apparent. One male specimen without trace of red stripes on body. ” Colouration has been described accurately by Chan & Yu (1985: 291) and Hayashi (1986: 93). Photographs of freshly caught specimens during the recent “ SANTO 2006 Expedition ” to Espiritu Santo I. (Vanuatu) show specimens with variable colouration, the rostrum being translucent: one has the body almost completely pinkish; one ovigerous female has a pinkish body with orange patches on the anterodorsal portion of the carapace and on the dorsal and lateral portions of the abdomen; one male has a pinkish body but with the dorsal part of the carapace and the first two abdominal tergites red or reddish, the distal part of the translucent rostrum being reddish; one damaged female is more coloured, pink with small red dots, and the dorsal part of the carapace and first three abdominal tergites red and orange. None displays the large lateral red stripe on the abdomen. Genetic analysis of DNA barcoding using mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase gene (COI, 658 base pairs) on the two specimens of the present study and some specimens from Vanuatu, Fiji, Solomon Is., New Caledonia, Indonesia and Taiwan show that there are high genetic divergence in the material from various localities (Table 1). The two Panglao specimens have an identical sequences but the genetic divergence amongst the material of Vanuatu ranged from 0.2 to 2.4 %. The specimens from Fiji, Solomon Is., New Caledonia and Indonesia have the COI sequences identical or almost identical (i. e. 0 – 0.9 %) to some specimens from Vanuatu. However, material from Taiwan and the Philippines has high genetic divergence (2.6 – 3.6 % and 3 – 4.6 %, respectively) from other material as well as between themselves (4.7 %). A comprehensive morphological (including coloration) and genetic comparisons of S. multidentatus material throughout its geographical range will be necessary to access the importance of colour variations as well as the taxonomic status of the subspecies in this species.	en	Cleva, Régis (2008): Stylodactylidae and Bathypalaemonellidae (Crustacea: Decapoda: Caridea) from the PANGLAO 2004 and 2005 expeditions to the Philippines, with description of a new species of Stylodactylus A.

03FE87B4FFBFFF954082FC65FF21FB86.taxon	etymology	Etymology. From the Latin gracilis for the thin, slender and fragile aspect of the new species. Affinities with other species. Hanamura & Takeda established a new genus Bathystylodactylus for species with the following characters: 1) stylocerite extending nearly to mid-length of first segment of antennular peduncle; 2) posterior three pereopods unusually longer than anterior pereopods; 3) carapace with distinct supraorbital ridge; 4) third to fifth abdominal somites weakly carinated dorsally (Hanamura & Takeda 1996: 930). Three species of Bathystylodactylus are currently recognized: B. bathyalis (Cleva, 1994) (N. E. Australia, Coral Sea, 3502 – 3515 m), B. inflatus Hanamura & Takeda, 1996, (east coast of Taiwan, 3436 – 3452 m) and B. echinus Wicksten & Martin, 2004, (Baja California, Mexico, and California, U. S. A., 3427 – 3689 m). In this last species, described after the establishment of Bathystylodactylus, only the third abdominal somite is consistently weakly carinated (Wicksten & Martin 2004: 381). Other characters in common in these three species are: 1) the eyes are very reduced in size with cornea unpigmented; 2) the antennular peduncle is elongated, clearly overreaching the antennal scale, the lengthened first and second articles being of about the same size; 3) all last three pairs of pereopods are outstandingly long and slender, their ischio-meral segment overreaching the antennal scale as well as the antennular peduncle (particularly P 3 and P 4). The new species clearly can not be assigned to the genus Bathystylodactylus but should be instead assigned to Stylodactylus: 1. The eyes are of normal shape, with the cornea wider than the ocular peduncle. Eyes are well pigmented. 2. The stylocerite of the elongated antennular peduncle is of usual Stylodactylus shape, reaching the end of the first article, and the second article is much longer (1.8 times longer) than the first. 3. The scaphocerite is proportionally longer (0.7 CL versus about 0.45 CL in Bathystylodactylus species) and reaches the end of antennular peduncle. 4. No trace of a dorsal carina on third to fifth abdominal somites. 5. Third to fifth pereopods are very long and slender, with the lengthening of the merus and propodus as in Bathystylodactylus, but noticeably not as long: ischio-meral segment of P 3 overreaching by far the end of the scaphocerite or antennular peduncle, but that of P 4 and P 5 not extending so much. Among the 15 described species in the genus Stylodactylus, four members are remarkable in having an elongated antennular peduncle, the elongated second segment being at least as long as the first, versus more shorter usually: Stylodactylus macropus Chace, 1983, (Philippines, New Caledonia, Chesterfield Is, Vanuatu, 700 – 925 m), S. major Hayashi & Miyake, 1968, (East China Sea, 122 – 124 m (?) and Taiwan, 880 – 1211 m), S. brucei Cleva, 1994, (Australia, 900 – 1000 m, Wallis I., 820 – 840 m) and S. profundus Cleva, 1990 a, (New Caledonia, 1395 – 1740 m, Florida Strait and Bahamas, 1020 – 1399 m). But none of these four species displays such as long second article of the antennular peduncle associated with very long P 3 to P 5 as in the new species.	en	Cleva, Régis (2008): Stylodactylidae and Bathypalaemonellidae (Crustacea: Decapoda: Caridea) from the PANGLAO 2004 and 2005 expeditions to the Philippines, with description of a new species of Stylodactylus A.

Published photographs of freshly collected specimens of this rather common species are rare. The colouration appears variable. Chan & Yu (1985) described three different colour patterns, of which the pink-red is the commonest (Chan & Yu, 1985: 290, pl. 1 A – D; Cleva, 1997, fig. 4 F). Of the two ovigerous females photographed during the SANTO 2006 Expedition to Espiritu Santo I.

03FE87B4FFBAFF984082FD75FBE9FE8E.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Of the six described species of Parastylodactylus, P. bimaxilllaris (Bate, 1888), P. tranterae Cleva, 1990, P. semblatae Cleva, 1990, P. moluccensis Cleva, 1997, P. longidactylus Cleva, 1990, and P. r i c h - eri Cleva, 1990, only the last two, P. longidactylus, from Philippines, and P. richeri, from Indonesia, Vanuatu and New Caledonia display long and slender dactyls on P 3 to P 5 (specially P 3 and P 4), these articles being shorter and stouter in the four other species. Parastylodactylus longidactylus can be distinguished from P. richeri by its slenderer P 3 – P 5, with longer dactyls, those of P 3 and P 4 being devoid of accessory spinules. The propodus / dactylus ratio of the last three pairs of pereopods are: P 3: 1.5 – 1.6; P 4: 1.7 – 1.8; P 5: 4.5 – 4.8 in P longidactylus versus P 3: 1.8 – 3.1; P 4: 2.2 – 3.6; P 5: 5.2 – 7.8 in P. richeri (see Cleva, 1990 a: 127, figs. 15 c, 16 e – h; Cleva, 1997: 397, fig. 4 G – H). Observation of the Panglao specimen, unfortunately damaged, combined with careful examination of the photo shows that: the long dactyls are devoid of accessory spinules; the propodus / dactylus ratio of P 3 and P 4 are respectively 1.5 and 1.5 (estimated from the photo); the propodus / dactylus ratio of P 5 is 4.0 (measured on the specimen). The rostrum is 1.25 times longer than the carapace. It bears 25 dorsal spines (six on the carapace proper) and three ventral. One of several specimens from Japan and East China Sea sent by T. Komai appears to belong to P. longidactylus, never recorded before from this area. Colouration. Body pinkish, with some reddish patches. Rostrum translucent with apex pinkish. Pereopods pale pinkish, with some pale reddish stripes; part of ischio-merus of P 3 and P 4 red.	en	Cleva, Régis (2008): Stylodactylidae and Bathypalaemonellidae (Crustacea: Decapoda: Caridea) from the PANGLAO 2004 and 2005 expeditions to the Philippines, with description of a new species of Stylodactylus A.

03FE87B4FFB4FF984082FDE5FC67F9DE.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The presence of marginal denticles on the pleura of first five abdominal somites distinguishes N. amarynthis from all congeners. The PANGLAO specimens display a rostrum that is longer than carapace (RL / CL 1.2 – 1.7), with 13 – 22 dorsal spines (three to five on the carapace proper) and four – six ventral spines. Colouration. Kemp (1925: 259) described live specimens as the body being “ closely mottled with pale grey greens, pale browns, black, and pinkish white. On each side of the carapace there was a large pinkish white blotch, terminating anteriorly in a brownish red spot, and other blotches of the same colour occurred on the dorsal aspect of the carapace, mid-laterally on the first abdominal somite and infero-laterally on the second and fourth somites. The tail-fan and tips of the antennules were dull red. The legs were pale grey green with reddish bands at the tips of the third maxillipeds and on the chelae of the first two legs ”. Colouration appears to be variable also for this species: two specimens photographed during PANGLAO 2004 had a pink and violet body.	en	Cleva, Régis (2008): Stylodactylidae and Bathypalaemonellidae (Crustacea: Decapoda: Caridea) from the PANGLAO 2004 and 2005 expeditions to the Philippines, with description of a new species of Stylodactylus A.

03FE87B4FFB4FF9A4082F8EFFEAEFEF6.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This specimen is incomplete and damaged: large P 2, left P 4 and P 5, and posterior part of abdomen and telson are missing. Therefore, positive identification is difficult. Nevertheless, the specimen shows following features: rostrum with 12 dorsal (three on the carapace proper), plus a small fixed subterminal tooth, and three ventral spines; RL / CL ratio 0.82; length of P 1 chela / CL ratio: 0.25; P 1 carpus / P 1 chela ratio: 1.6; dactyls of right P 3 – P 5 with three pairs of spinules, dactyl of left P 3 with three and four spinules; carpus of P 3 – P 5 much shorter than propodus. These characters allow to tentatively identify the specimen with Bathypalaemonella hayashii rather than to the closely allied B. serratipalma: B. serratipalma has a stronger and longer P 1 (ratio length of P 1 chela / CL: 0.30 – 0.35 versus 0.24 – 0.30 in B. hayashii), with shorter carpus (P 1 carpus / P 1 chela ratio 1.2 – 1.5 versus 1.6 – 1.9 in B. hayashii), and the P 3 – P 5 are longer and with different ratio between articles (the carpus being very long, quite as long as the propodus or only slightly shorter) (Cleva 2001: 760 – 766). Colouration. Body pink with reddish small dots; rostrum and second antenna red; antenna withish; pereopods pinkish / reddish. Photographs given by Cleva (2001, fig. 10 B; 2004, fig. 6 e) show that this colouration fits better with B. hayashii than with B. serratipalma, where the rostrum appears translucent.	en	Cleva, Régis (2008): Stylodactylidae and Bathypalaemonellidae (Crustacea: Decapoda: Caridea) from the PANGLAO 2004 and 2005 expeditions to the Philippines, with description of a new species of Stylodactylus A.

03FE87B4FFB6FF9A4082FEB5FA59FB20.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Bathypalaemonetes brevirostris has been well illustrated by Bruce (1986) and Cleva (2001). Dorsal border of the specimen’s rostrum with ten mobile spines (one situated on the carapace proper), plus four – five fixed spines on the distal part; ventral border with six fixed teeth. RL / CL ratio about 0.75. Colouration. General colouration of the carapace pink-reddish, with six relatively well defined longitudinal white bands; rostrum whitish, with lateral carina pink-reddish; abdomen pink-reddish with somewhat seven transversal white bands on the four first pleura; telson and caudal fans pink-reddish; antennular peduncle and flagella, antennal basis and carpocerite reddish; antennal flagella whitish; all pereopods pink-reddish, the colouration becoming clearer from the basal to the distal articles: ischio-merus reddish, propodus and dactyls rather pinkish, merus to chela of large P 2 pinkish. Though the colouration seems to present some variations (see Cleva 2004, fig. 6 f and description by Bruce, 1986: 264), the reddish and white banded pattern appears to be characteristic.	en	Cleva, Régis (2008): Stylodactylidae and Bathypalaemonellidae (Crustacea: Decapoda: Caridea) from the PANGLAO 2004 and 2005 expeditions to the Philippines, with description of a new species of Stylodactylus A.
