Athanus dentirostris, known only from northern Vietnam, is unique among all Alpheidae in having the superior margin of the rostrum dentate. Adult males of C. crangonus are immediately recognizable by the peculiar, subcheliform first pereiopods, which show superficial resemblance to the chelipeds of Crangonidae.},

Examination of the new material has shown that the monotypic Hamalpheus Bruce \& Hiffe, is a junior synonym of Betaeopsis Yaldwyn. Three of the four diagnostic features used to separate Hamalpheus from other alpheid genera, tire present in both B. indicus and the type species B. aequimanus (Dana). These features include the peculiar hook-like spines on the uropods. Betaeopsis, now containing three: species, is redefined, while detailed redescriptions and synonymies are provided for B. aequimanus and B. indicus. The relationships of Betaeopsis to Betaeus Dana are discussed.},

	abstract = {Macrofauna Associated with Echiuran burrows: a review with new observations of the innkeeper worm, Ochetostoma erythrogrammon Leuckart and Ruppel, in Venezuela. Zoological Studies 44(2): 157-190. Because of their size and semipermanent nature, burrows of larger echiuran worms (phylum Echiura: Urechidae, Echiuridae, Bonelliidae, and Thalassematidae) host a remarkable variety of symbionts. Most symbionts appear to be commensals (occasionally with tendencies to kleptoparasitism), although at least 1 echiuran, Bonellia viridis, may in turn be a commensal of the soft rock-burrowing mudshrimp, Upogebia mediterranea. Commensal animals most frequently observed in echiuran burrows are bivalves (11 species in 8 hosts), polychaetes (mostly polynoids; 14 species in 8 hosts), brachyuran crabs (mostly pinnotherids and varunids; 16 species in 8 hosts), alpheid shrimps (6 species in 6 hosts), and copepods (3 species in 3 hosts). Some are facultative commensals (e.g., many polynoids and pinnotherids), but obligate and host-specific associations also occur, particularly among copepods and the loxosomatid entoprocts, Loxosomella spp. (with their associated gastropod predator, Sigaretomus planus). An alpheid shrimp, Alpheus barbatus, may also live in association with non-burrowing, crevice-dwelling echiurans. Other, less-frequent, echiuran commensals include polyclad flatworms (1 species), nemerteans (1 species), nematodes (2 species), entoprocts (2 species), gastropods (2 species), and fishes (2 species). Most echiuran-associated bivalves, entoprocts, and some polychaetes are so-called burrow energy users. The most-diversified communities of commensal animals are found in U-shaped burrows of larger species, such as Urechis spp. and Ochetostoma spp., but also in some relatively small echiurans, e.g., Lissomyema exilii, which builds U-shaped chambers in discarded mollusc shells. Finally, the cosmopolitan echiuran species or species complex, Ochetostoma erythrogrammon Leuckart and Ruppel, 1828 (Echiura: Thalassematidae), is reported here for the 1 st time from Venezuelan waters. At least 2 species of pinnotherid crabs, Pinnixa spp., and an unidentified sportellid bivalve were collected from the burrows, together with the echiurans and the upogebiid mudshrimp, Upogebia omissa, suggesting that the crabs and the bivalve may be commensally associated with 1 or both of these burrowing animals.},

Zoological Studies 46(4): 454-472. Arete borradailei Coutibre, 1903 and Athanas verrucosus Banner and Banner, 1960 are transferred to Rugathanas gen. nov., based on several unique features on the chelipeds, 3rd pereiopods, antennules, and mouthparts. The establishment of Rugathanas enables the redefinition of Athanas Leach, 1814 and Arete Stimpson, 1860, and a formal revalidation of Arete, formerly a synonym of Athanas. Two important features, the number of pereiopodal epipods and the number of carpal segments of the 2nd pereiopod, are variable within Rugathanas gen. nov., but may be used to distinguish Athanas from Arete. The distribution ranges of R. borradailei (Couti6re, 1903) comb. nov. and R. verrucosus (Banner and Banner, 1960) comb. nov. are considerably extended based on recently collected material from the Ryukyu Is., Japan; Kenting, southern Taiwan; and Norfolk I., off eastern Australia.},
