Prior to the present study, the genus Fennerogalathea Baba, 1988 contained two species: F. chacei Baba, 1988 (type species of the genus) from the Bali Sea, off south-west Luzon, and Taiwan, at 100–165 m (Baba 1988; Baba et al. 2009), and F. chirostyloides Tirmizi &amp; Javed, 1993, from the Bay of Bengal, at 2417 m. Unfortunately, the type material of F. chirostyloides (three males, with P1–4 missing in all specimens) is probably lost (Baba et al. 2008). Nevertheless, the depth of occurrence of this species, clearly deeper than in all other species of the genus (100–321 m, see below), recommends a further study with topotypic material. Tirmizi &amp; Javed (1993) did not provide any difference between the two species, although Baba (2005) indicated that the two species could be separated by the presence in F. chacei instead of absence in F. chirostyloides of a tuft of setae on the median part of anterior transverse ridge of abdominal somites 2–4. This tuft of setae is always present in the three new species described in the present study.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/B64DAE034C31DB6FFF36FB69FE7CF914	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Fingers as long as or slightly longer than palm, each finger distally with 2 rows of teeth, spooned; movable finger with row of some spines in proximal half of mesial margin, otherwise unarmed.</p><p>P2–4: Slender, moderately setose, sparsely with long plumose setae on all articles. P2 2.7 times carapace length. Meri successively shorter posteriorly (P3 merus 0.8 length of P2 merus, P4 merus 0.8 length of P3 merus); P2 merus 1.1 of carapace length, 10 times as long as broad, 1.3 times longer than P2 propodus; P3 merus 7.5 times as long as broad, 1.2 times length of P3 propodus; P4 merus 6.0 times as long as broad, 0.9 length of P4 propodus; extensor margins each with row of 10–12 spines in P2–3, and with 6 small spines in P4; lateral surfaces unarmed in P2–3, 1 or 2 minute spines in P4; flexor margins each with strong terminal spine in P2–4, 5 or 6 additional spines in P2–3, 1 or 2 in P4; ventromesial margins with 1 or 2 spines in P2. Carpi each with 6 or 7 spines on extensor margin of P2–4; lateral surfaces each all with row of 2 or 3 small spines paralleling extensor row; flexor margins unarmed or with minute spine. P2–4 propodi 8.5–9.5 times as long as broad; extensor margins each with 5–7 small proximal spines in P2–4; flexor margins nearly straight, each with 2 pairs of terminal spines preceded by 7 or 8 slender movable spines. Dactyli subequal in length, 0.4–0.5 length of propodi, ending in incurved, strong, sharp spine; flexor margins each with prominent triangular terminal tooth preceded by row of 8 or 9 teeth.</p><p>Distribution. Fiji, between 102 and 311 m.</p><p>Remarks. Fennerogalathea ensifera n. sp. is clearly differentiated from its congeners by the shape of the rostrum, which is narrower and more elongate than in the other species. The differences are as follows.</p><p>The rostrum is more than twice longer than broad, and clearly exceeding the corneae in F. ensifera n. sp., whereas it is at most twice longer than broad, not reaching or slightly exceeding the corneae in the other species.</p><p>The distance between the distalmost lateral incisions of the rostrum is 0.25 the distance between the proximalmost lateral incisions in F. ensifera n. sp., whereas this ratio is 0.4 in the other species.</p><p>The lateral spines of the carapace are small in F. ensifera n. sp., whereas these spines are always well developed in the other species.</p><p>The minimum molecular divergence observed between F. ensifera n. sp. and F. cultrata n. sp. was 9.43% and 0.70% for the COI and 16S, respectively.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/B64DAE034C3BDB60FF36FCBFFDF1F8A6	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
