039F122D642DB754895DFBA8FBD3D4E4.taxon	discussion	REMARKS The new species clearly belongs to Neopalicus as redescribed by Castro (2000: 548). The genus until now consisted of two species, N. contractus (Rathbun, 1902) and N. jukesii (White, 1847). Neopalicus simulus n. sp. shares with these two species a subquadrate carapace with horizontal rows of large and low bosses on its dorsal surface; two large truncated teeth along each anterolateral border; large eyes with eye peduncles each having three dorsal tubercles; supraorbital borders with two rounded lobes; basal antennal article with a short, wing-like expansion; P 2 - P 4 with dorso-ventrally flattened (not filiform) carpi, propodi, and dactyli; anterior margins of the P 3 and P 4 propodi each with a wide and convex extension; posterior margins of the dactyli entire; posterior margins of the P 5 propodus spinous; abdomen of males elongated, all somites freely articulating; G 1 long and slender, basal portion sinuous; abdomen of adult females with all somites freely articulating. Diagnostic characters of N. simulus n. sp. are the presence of a short, non-bilobed rostrum (bilobed in N. contractus and N. jukesii; see Castro 2000: figs 39, 40), a smooth suborbital border (two triangular, dentiform lobes in N. contractus and N. jukesii; see Castro 2000: fig. 40 a, b), abdomen of mature males with smooth somites (transverse ridges in N. contractus and N. jukesii), and the simple, uniramous distal end of the G 1 (biramous in N. contractus and N. jukesii; see Castro 2000: fig. 41). The inner surface of the cheliped propodus of the male has dense clusters of plumose setae (barely visible in Figure 1 A) as in N. jukesii (see Holthuis 1977: fig. 2 c, as Palicus carinipes (Paul’son, 1875 )) but unlike N. contractus, which lacks setae.	en	Castro, Peter (2010): A new species and new records of palicoid crabs (Crustacea, Decapoda, Brachyura, Palicoidea, Palicidae, Crossotonotidae) from the Indo-West Pacific region.

REMARKS Paliculus foliatus was described from a single female specimen. The discovery of two male specimens now permits the description of the male. DESCRIPTION OF MALE Carapace as in females (Fig. 2 A; Castro 2000: fig. 32), subquadrate, depressed, with 4 narrow, pointed anterolateral teeth on each side. Dorsal surface covered with rounded tubercles, granular bosses on metagastric region; depressed area along confluence of branchial, mesogastric regions; posterior border medially pointed, with 4 conspicuous tubercles. Supraorbital borders each with pointed median lobe. Postorbital angle long, outwardly projecting. Suborbital borders each limited by conspicuous, ventrally projecting pterygostomial lobe, broad, rounded outer lobe. A Dorsal borders of cheliped (P 1) propodus with conspicuous, rounded tubercle. Borders of meri, carpi of ambulatory legs (P 2 - P 4) with dorsoventrally flattened, rounded tubercles. Basal antennal article with slightly expanded outer margin, 3 rounded tubercles along expanded margin. Epistome narrow, vertically inclined, with no apparent teeth. P 2 - P 4 slender but with flattened, non-filiform propodi. Upper, lower borders of meri with thin, rounded tubercles; distalmost tubercle on each anterior border much wider at base, higher; similar thin, rounded tubercles on anterior borders of propodi; meri with long plumose setae. P 2 shorter, more slender than P 3, P 4. P 5 short (0.7 cl), dorsal to P 4; propodus with 4 low tubercles, 3 of which topped by short spine; dactylus with 4 short, thin spines along posterior border, terminal pointed tooth. Abdomen (Fig. 2 B) narrow, with somites 3 - 5 fused but articulations still visible, remaining somites freely articulating. G 1 (Fig. 2 C) with sinuous basal part; distal part simple, with sub-acute apex, rows of small teeth. G 2 much shorter than G 1. REMARKS Paliculus foliatus was described from a small (cl 5.0 mm, cw 5.0 mm), ovigerous female collected from an unknown depth atTouho, northeastern coast of New Caledonia (Castro 2000: 530). Diagnostic of the species is a depressed, leaf-like carapace covered dorsally with many conspicuous, spherical tubercles and granular bosses, a cryptic appearance which is unique among known palicids (Fig. 2 A; Castro 2000: fig. 32 a). Also characteristic are dorso-ventrally flattened, rounded tubercles along the margins of the ambulatory legs (P 2 - P 4) (Fig. 3; Castro 2000: fig. 32 c), which complement the cryptic appearance of the carapace. The aspiration and brushing of coral and rock surfaces in relatively shallow water at Lifou I., Loyalty Is, east of New Caledonia, during the Atelier LIFOU 2000 resulted in the collection of five females (one pre-adult and four adults, of which one was ovigerous) and two males. The largest specimen was a female (cl 5.1 mm, cw 5.2 mm, MNHN-B 28011). The specimens were obtained from three stations at depths of 10 - 30 m. The species is also recorded for the first time from the Philippines, where two females were collected from depths of 3 - 19 m. Paliculus foliatus, now known from the Philippines, New Caledonia, and the Loyalty Is (Castro 2000: table 6), most probably has a wider geographical distribution. Its very small size and cryptic morphology make detection and collection difficult. It appears to be restricted to hard substrates in coral reefs and marine caves.	en	Castro, Peter (2010): A new species and new records of palicoid crabs (Crustacea, Decapoda, Brachyura, Palicoidea, Palicidae, Crossotonotidae) from the Indo-West Pacific region.

039F122D6427B7598AA9FCF7FCCFD467.taxon	discussion	REMARKS Three pre-adults, although small (cl 2.4 - 2.5, cw 2.4 - 2.6), show some the characters diagnostic to Palicoides whitei, which can be easily confused with its close congeneric P. longimanus even as adults: front with two broad lobes separated by a notch that is wider and deeper than in P. longimanus, and distalmost tubercle on the eye peduncle being pointed, reaching almost the same height of the crescent-shaped process diagnostic of the genus (round and short in P. longimanus) (Castro 2000: 564). Other diagnostic characters (morphology of the G 1, and female abdomen), however, can be observed only in adults. The lobes on the supraorbital and suborbital borders appear to be less developed than in adults.	en	Castro, Peter (2010): A new species and new records of palicoid crabs (Crustacea, Decapoda, Brachyura, Palicoidea, Palicidae, Crossotonotidae) from the Indo-West Pacific region.

039F122D6426B7588A0FFE73FBE7D19C.taxon	discussion	REMARKS Five specimens from five stations in the Philippines (ZRC 2008.0954, 2008.1078, 2008.1081, 2008.1083, 2008.1085) are close to Parapalicus piruensis Moosa & Serène, 1981, known from Indonesia, New Caledonia and Fiji (Castro 2000: table 6, fig. 58). All specimens share some characters of the general morphology of the carapace and ambulatory legs with P. piruensis: finely granular carapace; triangular and acute-tipped anterolateral teeth; suborbital borders each with a wide, V-shaped gap between the inner and outer suborbital lobes, the outer lobe much smaller than the inner lobe; and short ambulatory legs (Moosa & Serène 1981: fig. 2 b, pl. 1 C; Castro 2000: fig. 26 b). The outer orbital teeth, however, are obtuse (triangular and acute-tipped in P. piruensis), and the cheliped propodus has two conspicuous and triangular proximal tubercles (smooth in P. piruensis). The only male specimen in the collection was feminised by a sacculinid. The large, rounded feminised abdomen has two elongated anterior tubercles on somite 3 (a characteristic of P. piruensis; Castro 2000: fig. 25 a), but a triangular tooth medially that is absent in P. piruensis. The G 1 is reduced, with a slightly sinuous proximal part, a straight distal part, and a truncated apex that has a small triangular tooth (a biramous, curved, truncated apex in P. piruensis; Castro 2000: fig. 25 b-d). The morphology of the G 1 is unique for Parapalicus but its reduction in size and relative simplicity could probably be the result of feminisation. Four specimens collected from another station in the Philippines (ZRC 2008.1085) are also close to P. piruensis: a finely granular carapace; triangular and acute-tipped anterolateral and outer orbital teeth; suborbital borders each with a wide, V-shaped gap between the inner and outer suborbital lobes, the outer lobe much smaller than the inner lobe; and short ambulatory legs. The cheliped propodus, however, has one short tubercle (in contrast to two conspicuous and triangular tubercles in the other five specimens of P. aff piruensis from the Philippines) by having distinctive lobes on the supraorbital borders. There is only one male specimen, a pre-adult with the abdomen missing. The G 1 are not fully developed, being soft and straight, not spiral or sinuous as in other species of Parapalicus. Each G 1 has three short, obtuse distal processes, very different from the G 1 of P. piruensis (see Castro 2000: fig. 25 b-d). It is opted not to describe the nine specimens on hand as new species because of the absence of normal male specimens because the morphologies of the G 1 and the male abdomen are essential in the characterization of Parapalicus species.	en	Castro, Peter (2010): A new species and new records of palicoid crabs (Crustacea, Decapoda, Brachyura, Palicoidea, Palicidae, Crossotonotidae) from the Indo-West Pacific region.

The discovery of an adult female, slightly smaller than the male holotype, now permits the description of some features of adult females. The female specimen unfortunately lacks the abdomen. The carapace and pereopods of the adult female (ZRC 2008.1) are as in the holotype male (Castro 2000: fig. 35 a-c) and pre-adult female paratype. The vulvae are relatively large, round, with simple margins, and on thoracic sternite 6. They are displaced to the median plate of the sternum. The sternothoracic cavity is typical of adult female palicids, being very broad and extending to just below the posterior margin of the third maxillipeds.	en	Castro, Peter (2010): A new species and new records of palicoid crabs (Crustacea, Decapoda, Brachyura, Palicoidea, Palicidae, Crossotonotidae) from the Indo-West Pacific region.
