The genera Calliax de Saint Laurent, 1973 and Eucalliax Manning &amp; Felder, 1991 include species having no exopod on the maxilliped 3, e.g., Calliax lobata de Gaillande &amp; Lagardère, 1966, type species or Calliax tulearensis n. sp. Species provided with an exopod on the maxilliped 3 are placed either in the genus Paraglypturus Türkay &amp; Sakai, 1995, e.g., Paraglypturus calderus Türkay &amp; Sakai, 1995, type species or Calliaxina Ngoc-Ho, 2003, e.g., Calliaxina punica de Saint Laurent &amp; Manning, 1982, type species and Calliaxina thomassini n. sp. Both new species Calliax tulearensis n. sp. and Calliaxina thomassini n. sp. are treated in this work.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03C187FCFF8F696AD085FA90FC549CCA	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Cervical groove and linea thalassinica distinct, sutures absent. Eyestalks dorsally flattened, about 1.5 times as long as wide at base in holotype (Fig. 1C), slightly wider at base in specimen MNHN Th 859 (Fig. 1B), corneas retracted and non pigmented in holotype, round and subterminal in specimen MNHN Th 859.</p> <p>Telson about 1.2 times as broad as long in holotype (Fig. 1J), twice as broad as long in specimen MNHN Th 589 (Fig1K); lateral borders rounded, posterior border slightly convex.</p> <p>Antennular peduncle (Fig. 1C) shorter than that of antenna, reaching approximately base of last article of the latter (last article of antennal peduncle broken in specimen MNHN Th 859).</p> <p>Maxilliped 3 (Fig. 1D) exopod absent. Endopod with approximately quadrate ischium, merus about 0.8 time as long as broad, carpus with convex lower border, propodus as long as broad, lower border strongly flexed, dactylus with broad rounded terminal border bearing close-set serrated setae.</p> <p>Pereopods 1 unequal and dissimilar. Major P1 (Fig. 1E) (missing in specimen MNHN Th 859), chelate; ischium and merus with eight and five spinules respectively on lower border; carpus and propodus unarmed; fixed finger as long as dactylus, with obtuse tip and small tooth at midlength of cutting edge; dactylus with curved tip.</p> <p>Minor P 1 on the right in holotype (Fig. 1F), on the left in specimen MNHN Th 589 (Fig. 1G); ischium with seven or eight spinules on lower border; merus with convex lower border bearing two denticles in holotype, three larger spinules in specimen MNHN Th 859; carpus, propodus and dactylus unarmed, fixed finger with pointed tip, about half as long as dactylus and separated from it by a wide gap bearing an obtuse tooth at base, larger in specimen MNHN Th 589 (Fig. 1G); dactylus with pointed tip.</p> <p>Pereopod 3 (Fig. 1H), pereopod 4, pereopod 5 all unarmed, small proximal heel on pereopod 3 propodus, pereopod 5 subchelate.</p> <p>Female pleopod 1 (Fig. 1M, O) uniramous, biarticulated; female pleopod 2 (Fig. 1L, N) biramous, both pleopods lacking appendix interna.</p> <p>Pleopods 3-5 (Fig. 1I) biramous, foliaceous with finger-like appendix interna.</p> <p>Uropods (Fig. 1J, K) longer than telson, exopod nearly three times as long as telson in the young holotype, two and a half times as long as telson in the larger ovigerous MNHN Th 859; distal dorsal plate present, no notch on lateral border.</p> <p>REMARKS</p> <p>Manning &amp; Felder (1991) separated the genus Calliax from their newly established Eucalliax on the basis of pereopods 1 unequal and dissimilar in the former, equal and similar in the latter. Yet Sakai (1999: 109; 2005: 196) synonymised the two taxa on the basis of both having maxilliped 3 without exopod and separated it from Paraglypturus Türkay &amp; Sakai, 1995 possessing a maxillipedal exopod. Eucalliax is recognised by most later authors.</p> <p>Ngoc-Ho (2003) gave characters defining Calliax and Eucalliax and recognised only two species for Calliax: C. lobata (de Gaillande &amp; Lagardère, 1966), type species, from the vicinity of Toulon, France and C. doerjesti Sakai, 1999 from Georgia, USA. Sakai (2011a) recognised the genus, including the same two species and added three new eucalliacine genera.</p> <p>The present new species from Madagascar is the third species of Calliax. It agrees with the others (see Ngoc-Ho 2003: 489) in: 1) rostrum short, with blunt tip, rostral spine absent; 2) antennular peduncle shorter than that of antenna; 3) pereopods 1 unequal, dissimilar, minor with fixed finger shorter than dactylus and separated from it by a wide gap with a proximal tooth on the cuting edge; 4) pereopod 3 with small proximal heel on propodus; and 5) female pleopod 1 uniramous, female pleopod 2 biramous, all lacking appendix interna; pleopods 3-5 foliaceous, with finger-like appendix interna.</p> <p>The new taxon resembles C. doerjesti by having no lateral notch on the uropod exopod (notch present in C. lobata). It differs from C. lobata and C. doerjesti by:1) the shape of telson which is 1.2- 2 times as broad as long, vs about as long as broad in C. lobata; “two-thirds length of its breadth”(Sakai 1999: 112) in C. doerjesti; and 2) uropods longer than telson, exopod 2.5-3 times longer than telson, slightly longer than telson in C. lobata and C. doerjesti.</p> <p>Both specimens studied are from Madagascar on the Mozambique side and they are likely to be of the same species. MNHN Th 859 agrees with the holotype in many characters e.g., the rostrum, the antennular peduncle shorter than that of the antenna, the maxilliped 3, the minor pereopod 1, the pereopod 3, the pleopods etc. that are figured. It differs from the holotype mainly in the shape of the telson (twice as broad as long vs 1.2 times as broad as long in the holotype). It is also damaged and broken into three pieces, therefore is not regarded as a paratype in this work.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03C187FCFF8F696FD288FDA9FE299C14	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The genus mainly differs from Calliax by having an exopod on the maxilliped 3.</p> <p>This taxon has been disputed by Sakai. Sakai (2005: 197) stated that Calliaxina “is not accepted” and Calliaxina as well as Eucalliax were considered synonymous with Calliax. Sakai (1999) ignored Calliaxina all together. Sakai’s stance was criticized by Dworschak (2007: 159). Later, Sakai (2011a: 494) recognised Calliax, Eucalliax and Calliaxina as valid; nevertheless, he argued that the presence of an exopod on the maxilliped 3 was not “of vital importance” in the classification of the genera, in contrast, the presence of a sulcus was considered. According to his concept, Calliaxina was expanded to include eight species.</p> <p>The cardiac sulcus is an uncalcified suture running across the carapace between the cervical groove and the posterior border. It is faint, much more indistinct than the linea thalassinica and is also variable. In the material of the new taxon studied, it is present only in the holotype and a specimen of cl&gt; 4 mm (tl&gt; approx. 15 mm) while the maxilliped 3 exopod is present in all. Similarly, in Calliaxina punica (de Saint Laurent &amp; Manning, 1982), type species of the genus, the cardiac sulcus is present but hardly visible in a ♂ of tl 26 mm (de Saint Laurent &amp; Manning 1982: fig. 1a) belonging to the paratype lot MNHN Th 565 (6 ♂, 4 ♀, of tl 12-26 mm). In the rest of the lot and in the paratypes MNHN Th 563 (2 juveniles of tl 12 mm and 12.5 mm), the cardiac sulcus is absent.</p> <p>In this work, the classification of Calliaxina as defined by Ngoc-Ho (2003) is adopted.</p> <p>There are a few similarities between Calliaxina and Eucalliax, e.g., while comparing Calliaxina thomassini n. sp. with Eucalliax panglaoensis Dworschak, 2006 from Bohol, Philippines. Both species have a suture on the carapace, the pereopod 1 equal and chelate, pereopod 3 with a small proximal lobe on the propodus, telson with a transverse carina (not always present in Calliaxina thomassini n. sp.); however the rostrum is much more prominent in E. panglaoensis and the telson is broader. Above all, the main difference between the two genera is that Eucalliax panglaoensis as all species of Eucalliax has no exopod on maxilliped 3, while a large exopod is present on maxilliped 3 of Calliaxina thomassini n. sp.</p> <p>The material examined comprises young specimens of small size. Consequently, a number of characters, especially male and female pleopods 1 and 2, are very small with no visible appendix interna or appendix masculina. Some other characters do not quite agree with the original diagnosis of Caliaxina presented by Ngoc-Ho (2003: 493): the maxilliped 3 is narrower (ischium + merus length about 2.5 times merus width) than in typical species where it is operculiform (ischium + merus length &lt;twice merus width), the telson is about 1.60-1.70 as wide as long, slightly wider than in Calliaxina punica, type species of the genus.</p> <p>Of the three Calliaxina species, the new taxon shows similarities with C. novaebritanniae:</p> <p>1) Small slightly pointed rostrum; 2) maxilliped 3 exopod about as long as ischium; 3) telson broader than long with transverse carina interrupted medially by a tuff of setae; and 4) posterior border of telson straight or slightly convex.</p> <p>Calliaxina thomassini n. sp. differs from C. novaebritanniae as well as C. punica and C. sakaii by: 1) rostrum minute or nearly absent; 2) row of long setae on the edge of the depression on one pereopod 1 fixed finger; and 3) large proximal spine on uropod exopod.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03C187FCFF8A696CD0AEFEEBFEEC9F4B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

XI, fig. 17-17e).</p> <p>Nevertheless, Poore (personal communication) pointed out the differences between the two species: 1) C. sibogae rostrum appears with a sharp upper edge (de Man 1928: fig. 17) that is absent in the new taxon; 2) C. sibogae maxilliped 3 merus shows an accused squarish distomesial corner which it is weak in C. coriolisae n. sp.; 3) the posterior border of the telson is unarmed in C. sibogae, bearing a median spinule in C. coriolisae n. sp.; and 4) the uropod.</p> <p>Exopod is slender about 1.8 time as long as wide in C. sibogae, 1.4 times as long as wide in C. coriolisae n. sp.</p> <p>The materials previously assigned to Callianassa sibogae from Western Australia, Northwest Shelf, (MNHN Th 1248), and Cheramus sibogae from French Polynesia, Raiatea Is. Society (MNHN Th 1434) are likely to belong to this new taxon.</p> <p>Callianasa sibogae was established by de Man (1905) on a much damaged male of the Siboga Expedition of tl 22.8 mm without pereopods 1, 3 and 4. No large male of this species or those closely related has been subsequently studied and the morphology of major pereopod 1 reported in C. cariolisae n. sp. with a dorso-proximal “neck” in the carpus is unique.</p> <p>The species sibogae is placed by Tudge et al. (2000) and WORMS (World Register of Marine Species) (Poore 2013) in the genus Cheramus Bate, 1888 due to the presence of a rostral spine, and finger-like appendix interna on pleopods among other caracteristics. Nevertheless, considering the definition of the genus Cheramus as given by Manning &amp; Felder (1991), a few discrepancies can be noted: male pereopod 1 bears a meral hook instead of being without; uropods are moderately elongated instead of “extremely elongate”.</p> <p>Poore (personal communication) considers that Cheramus sibogae (and the new taxon) is within a group of a dozen or more species that are similar and diverse, and that probably should not be called Cheramus. Pending another revision of the group, the new taxon is here placed in the classic genus Callianassa.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03C187FCFF896962D0BEFD2EFCD19FAB	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Eyestalks about twice as long as broad, with slightly pointed tip, overreaching base of first antennular article; cornea rounded, large in male, smaller in female, dark brown, situated dorso-laterally in proximal half of eyestalks. Telson (Fig. 4G) nearly half as long as broad, posterior border slightly undulated, posterolateral borders rounded, with few setae.</p> <p>Antennular peduncle (Fig. 4A) reaching about half length of last article of antennal peduncle.</p> <p>Other mouth appendages not differing from those described in previous accounts of the species (de Man 1928; Tirmizi 1967; Rao &amp; Kartha 1967); maxilliped 3 (Fig. 4H) without exopod; endopod ischium-merus length less than twice merus width, propodus approximately quadrate, distal border feebly arcuate.</p> <p>Major pereopod 1 massive (Fig. 4B, D) on the left in male as in female. Ischium slender, lower border with a few denticles; merus with a few proximal upper denticles and a toothed blade on lower border; carpus about as long as merus but broader with curved lower border; propodus 1.4 times longer than carpus, bearing fine tubercles distally and a dentate distal border; fixed finger slightly curved, with round tubercles proximally and on proximal half of cuttting edge; dactylus slightly longer than fixed finger with curved tip, cutting edge with a strong triangular tooth pointing below and a flat broad tooth behind it that is more prominent in the male.</p> <p>Minor pereopod 1 (Fig. 4C, E) slender, mainly unarmed, with carpus over 1.6 times longer than propodus, fixed finger and dactylus nearly as long as propodus.</p> <p>Pereopod 3 (Fig. 4F) propodus with an elongated posterior lobe.</p> <p>Pereopod 4 (Fig. 4M) subchelate and pereopod 5 (Fig. 4N) chelate, distal articles of both bearing numerous setae.</p> <p>Male pleopod 1 (Fig. 4I) two-segmented, last segment with a shallow distal depression and bearing long setae. Male pleopod 2 (Fig. 4J) biramous; outer ramus slender and shorter than inner, latter with a distal constriction, both ramus with long setae distally.</p> <p>Female pleopod 1 (Fig. 4K) three-segmented, last segment finger-like and about half as long as second segment, all segments bearing long setae. Female pleopod 2 (Fig. 4L) biramous, outer ramus faintly segmented and nearly as long as inner; inner ramus with a distal minute knob as reported by Rao &amp; Kartha (1967: 284, fig. 2H) and Sakai (1999: fig. 21f), both ramus carrying long setae.

The discrepancy is considered here as a variation.</p> <p>Other discrepancies can be found in the account by Rao &amp; Kartha (1967), e.g., the shape of the telson, of the uropods, of maxilliped 3, which are probably due to the poor quality of the figures.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03C187FCFF876960D297FD4EFB52998D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

DISTRIBUTION. — New Caledonia, Vietnam.</p> <p>DESCRIPTION</p> <p>Rostrum (Fig. 6A) slightly longer than broad at base in female specimen, longer in the male, bearing three large infra-rostral spines (two in the male) strongly projecting forward; lateral border with eight spiniform teeth, fine and faint median longitudinal groove bordered with small rounded tubercles.Lateral groove of carapace moderately broad bordered with tubercles; lateral ridge with six to eight small teeth. Antero-lateral border of carapace (Fig. 6B) with five spinules; antero-lateral region of carapace (between antero-lateral border and cervical groove) with three or four spinules. Cervical groove deep with five or six spinules on either side. Telson (Fig. 6C) about 1.3 times as broad as long, with faint inverted U-shaped carina dorsally, lateral border convex in proximal third, posterolateral angle rounded, posterior border concave medially.</p> <p>Antennule with large lower spine on first peduncular article.</p> <p>Antenna (Fig. 6B) second article with small upper spine; third article with lower subdistal spine; fourth article with three large lower spines, antennal scale small terminating in two spinules.</p> <p>Pereopod 1 (Fig. 6D, E) subcheliform. Ischium with lower spine. Merus about three times as long as broad, with upper subdistal spine and 11 lower spines.Carpus with lower distal spine; lateral surface with light longitudinal crest on lower third bearing small tubercles, dorsal surface with several spinules covered with dense setae; mesial surface (Fig. 6E) with upper row of six large spines increasing in size distally and a median distal spine. Propodus slightly twisted, as in G. lagonensis Ngoc-Ho, 1989 (Ngoc- Ho 1989: fig. 7), with main part of mesial surface turned upwards, densely setose and bearing several spinules, 12 large upper spines, oblique row of six spines on lower third, larger distally, fixed finger with one or two denticles. Dactylus with corneous tip.</p> <p>Uropods (Fig. 6C) exopod about 1.5 times as long as telson, posterior border rounded; endopod approximately elongated triangular; protopod with spinule and tubercle</p> <p>REMARKS</p> <p>The genus Gebiacantha was established by Ngoc-Ho in 1989 and redefined in 2001. Sakai (2006: 13; 2011b: 1130) synonymised it with Upogebia Leach, 1814, arguing that it was created based on the presence of infrarostral spines “that are not considered so significant a character to distinguish one genus from another”(Sakai 2011b: 1130).</p> <p>Gebiacantha was actually established not upon one character but a set of characters including those of mouth appendages; only specimens possessing all of these were assigned to the genus. The question is discussed in Ngoc-Ho(2008:158)and Poore (2008:422).</p> <p>The present specimen from Vietnam agrees with the type in the morphology of the infrarostral spines that are strongly projecting forward, and also in the morphology and spinulation of the appendages. The first pereopod especially has the mesial surface of the propodus slightly twisted with dense setae and several spinules.</p> <p>There are difference in the length of the rostrum which is shorter in the female specimen from Vietnam (Fig. 6A) than in the type (Ngoc-Ho 1989: fig.8A), a male from New Caledonia.It can be noted that the male specimen from Vietnam examined is smaller with a difference in tl of 12.5 mm, but has a longer rostrum than in the female, similar to that of the type.</p> <p>The telson bears a faint inverted U-shaped carina, as in the type but the transverse branch is simple (double in the type).</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03C187FCFF836964D282FAD1FEA298C3	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
