039F87D0FFF5FFA7FF11FA41FB1ED270.taxon	discussion	REMARKS This rare species was only known by three females. Two were caught off Oahu, Hawaii Islands (type locality), at 969 - 1280 m (Haig 1979), and the third female was collected in Bonin Islands, at 1370 m (Baba 2005). The present record extends its geographical range to the southwestern Pacific, between 1098 and 1480 m. The specimens agree quite well with the original description and illustrations, and additional data from Baba (2005). The pleopods are absent in males. Ground colour of the carapace, abdominal segments and pereiopods are pink, being darker in the anterior part of the carapace and pereiopods.

Striae with few, short, non-iridescent setae. Gastric region with two pairs of epigastric spines; postcervical spine on each side. Frontal margins slightly oblique. Lateral margins slightly convex. Anterolateral spine short, at anterolateral angle, not reaching level of sinus between rostrum and supraocular spines. Second marginal spine before cervical groove slightly smaller than preceding spine. Branchial margins with five spines, third spine small. Rostrum spiniform, short, about one-third as long as remaining carapace, straight and horizontal. Supraocular spines reaching mid-length of rostrum and not reaching end of corneae, subparallel, and horizontal (Fig. 3 A). Thoracic sternites smooth. Anterior part of fourth sternite clearly narrower than third (Fig. 3 B). Second abdominal somite unarmed on anterior ridge. Second and third somites each with one transverse stria. Eyes small, barely wider than eyestalk, maximum corneal diameter less than one-fourth distance between bases of anterolateral spines. Basal segment of antennule (distal spines excluded) about one-third carapace length, elongate, clearly exceeding end of corneae, with two distal spines, mesial spine distinctly shorter than lateral; three spines on lateral margin, proximal two short, located at mid-length of segment, distal one long, clearly not reaching end of distal spines	en	Macpherson, Enrique (2006): New species and new occurrence of Galatheoidea (Crustacea, Decapoda) from New Caledonia.

039F87D0FFF8FFAAFEDFFE8DFEBBD708.taxon	description	DESCRIPTION Carapace slightly longer than wide. Transverse ridges usually interrupted, except several on gastric region and posterior part of carapace, with few very short, non-iridescent setae. Main transverse striae on posterior part of carapace interrupted in cardiac region. Scales and secondary striae between main striae absent. Gastric region with two main epigastric spines, behind supraocular spines; two or three additional minute spines on each side. One to three small parahepatic spines on each side (male), one small anterobranchial and one postcervical spine on each side. Orbit with mesial, rounded mound, lateral limit slightly defined. Frontal margins concave. Lateral margins slightly convex. Anterolateral spine short, at anterolateral angle, clearly not reaching level of sinus between rostrum and supraocular spines. Second marginal spine anterior to cervical groove very small. Branchial margins with four small spines. Rostrum spiniform, less than half as long as remaining carapace, slightly carinated dorsally, straight, and slightly upwards directed. Supraocular spines reaching mid-length of rostrum and clearly not overreaching end of corneae, subparallel, directed slightly upwards (Fig. 4 A).	en	Macpherson, Enrique (2006): New species and new occurrence of Galatheoidea (Crustacea, Decapoda) from New Caledonia.
