Depth: 90-200 m and from a station (CP 1923) 360-840 m deep.</p><p>DESCRIPTION</p><p>Carapace (Fig. 1A, B) subquadrate, nearly as wide as long (cw/cl = 1.0-1.3); dorsal surface covered with fine granules, horizontal rows of large, low granular bosses.Confluence of branchial, mesogastric regions depressed; depression along median portion of frontal region. Short, simple (non-bilobed) rostrum. Anterolateral borders of carapace each with 2 large, truncated teeth, first (anteriormost) largest, most conspicuous. Posterior border with short, rounded tubercles (one at each end, 3 median), setae absent. Frontal border of carapace with single, rounded lobe. Borders between frontal lobe, supraorbital borders sinuous, ending in sharp angle, forming deep V-shaped fissure before supraorbital border (Fig. 1A, B). Supraorbital borders each with 2 rounded lobes. Postorbital angles short, not extending beyond dorsal border of retracted eye, nearly straight. Cornea of eyes dorso-ventrally depressed, wider than base of eye peduncle. Each peduncle with 3 dorsal tubercles: anterior, distal, crest-like (depressed); median tubercle smaller than other 2 tubercles; large, rounded tubercle on distal extension nearly encircled by cornea.</p><p>Suborbital borders (Fig. 1C) slightly convex; smooth. Pterygostomial lobes project ventrally, forming flat, rounded structure posterior to each inner suborbital lobe.</p><p>Basal antennal article (Fig. 1C) slender, rectangular, with short, wing-like extension; flagellum long, with few, simple setae. Epistome expanded dorso-ventrally, forming broad, semicircular, nearly flat surface; thin, carina-like process across median portion with two median teeth.</p><p>Inner margins of ischium of third maxillipeds straight; surface coarsely granular, upper margins rounded. Merus much narrower than ischium; straight-edged.</p><p>Chelipeds (P1) unequal in both sexes; propodus of larger cheliped of males much higher, thicker than smaller cheliped (Fig. 1A). Dorsal, outer margins of cheliped propodus with 2 high, rounded tubercles (except larger cheliped of males, which is smooth), inner surface with dense clusters of plumose setae in males, bare in females; fingers with cutting edges or rounded teeth. Carpus short, smooth; meri slender, smooth.</p><p>Ambulatory legs (P2-P4) dorso-ventrally flattened; P2 shorter than P3, P4; P3 nearly as long as P4 (Fig. 1A). Upper, lower margins of merus with short rounded tubercles; distalmost tubercle on each anterior margin wider at base, higher, directed distally. Anterior margins of carpus with tubercles. Dorsal surface of P3, P4 propodi, dactyli with many plumose setae; margins of P3, P4 propodi entire, anterior margins each with wide, convex carina-like extension; dactyli long, slender, entire margins. P5 short (0.7-0.9 cl), dorsal to P4 (Fig. 1A); merus slender, with microscopic tubercles along posterior margins, scattered simple setae; propodus with 4 or 5 short spines along posterior margin; dactylus with 3 or 4 short spines along posterior margin, terminal pointed tooth.</p><p>Abdomen of mature males elongated, with all somites freely articulating, smooth, without transverse ridges. Penis showing coxo-sternal condition. G1 (Fig. 1D) long, slender, with sinuous basal part; distal part with small teeth, simple, uniramous apex. G2 much shorter than G1.</p><p>Abdomen of mature females with all somites freely articulating.Transversal ridge along each somite 1-4, less pronounced in somite 5. Vulvae small, round, with simple margins, on thoracic sternite 6 but displaced to median plate of sternum.</p><p>REMARKS</p><p>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; P2-P4 with dorso-ventrally flattened (not filiform) carpi, propodi, and dactyli; anterior margins of the P3 and P4 propodi each with a wide and convex extension; posterior margins of the dactyli entire; posterior margins of the P5 propodus spinous; abdomen of males elongated, all somites freely articulating; G1 long and slender, basal portion sinuous; abdomen of adult females with all somites freely articulating.</p><p>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. 40a, b), abdomen of mature males with smooth somites (transverse ridges in N. contractus and N. jukesii), and the simple, uniramous distal end of the G1 (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 1A) as in N. jukesii (see Holthuis 1977: fig. 2c, as Palicus carinipes (Paul’son, 1875)) but unlike N. contractus, which lacks setae.</p><p>Neopalicus contractus is known from locations across the Indian Ocean (type locality: Maldive Islands), western Pacific Ocean from the Philippines to New Caledonia, and the Marshall Islands in the central Pacific (Castro 2000: table 6, fig. 49). Neopalicus jukesii (type locality: Queensland, Australia) shows a geographical distribution similar to that of N. contractus except that it is also known from the Red Sea and Japan but not from the central Pacific (Castro 2000: table 6, fig. 49). Both species inhabit, sometimes sympatrically, coarse sand in relatively shallow water (44-80 m in N. contractus, 10-146 m in N. jukesii; Castro 2000: table 5) adjacent to coral reefs. In contrast, N. simulus n. sp. is known from rocky bottoms containing coral rubble at depths of 90-200 m (one male [MNHN-B29137], however, was obtained from material dredged at 360-840 m) from the Austral Is, French Polynesia, southeastern Pacific. It is the only known species of Neopalicus in the southeastern Pacific.</p><p>Neopalicus simulus n. sp. is only known from small individuals, the maximum size recorded among the eight known specimens was only 5.5 mm (cw), an ovigerous female. All three large females showed the large, wide abdomen characteristic of adult female palicoids, two of the three were ovigerous. This is in sharp contrast to N. contractus and N. jukesii, where the largest females ever recorded were 18.6 mm and 15.1 mm (cw) respectively (Castro 2000) and where females of comparable size are pre-adults, and hence with a narrow, thin abdomen.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/039F122D642DB754895DFBA8FBD3D4E4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

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.</p><p>A</p><p>Dorsal borders of cheliped (P1) propodus with conspicuous, rounded tubercle. Borders of meri, carpi of ambulatory legs (P2-P4) with dorsoventrally flattened, rounded tubercles.

P2-P4 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. P2 shorter, more slender than P3, P4. P5 short (0.7 cl), dorsal to P4; propodus with 4 low tubercles, 3 of which topped by short spine; dactylus with 4 short, thin spines along posterior border, terminal pointed tooth.</p><p>Abdomen (Fig. 2B) narrow, with somites 3-5 fused but articulations still visible, remaining somites freely articulating. G1 (Fig. 2C) with sinuous basal part; distal part simple, with sub-acute apex, rows of small teeth. G2 much shorter than G1.</p><p>REMARKS</p><p>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. 2A; Castro 2000:fig.32a). Also characteristic are dorso-ventrally flattened, rounded tubercles along the margins of the ambulatory legs (P2-P4) (Fig. 3; Castro 2000: fig.32c), which complement the cryptic appearance of the carapace.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/039F122D642AB7568973FD14FC11D4E4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

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 &amp; Serène 1981: fig. 2b, pl. 1C; Castro 2000: fig. 26b). 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. 25a), but a triangular tooth medially that is absent in P. piruensis . The G1 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. 25b-d). The morphology of the G1 is unique for Parapalicus but its reduction in size and relative simplicity could probably be the result of feminisation.</p><p>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 G1 are not fully developed, being soft and straight, not spiral or sinuous as in other species of Parapalicus . Each G1 has three short, obtuse distal processes, very different from the G1 of P. piruensis (see Castro 2000: fig. 25b-d).</p><p>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 G1 and the male abdomen are essential in the characterization of Parapalicus species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/039F122D6426B7588A0FFE73FBE7D19C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
