SP - 249 EP - 256 AB - Orygmalpheus polites, new genus, new species, is described on the basis of a single, female specimen from Hansa Bay, Papua New Guinea. The new genus is characterised by the absence of a rostrum, orbital teeth, the absence of an articulated plate on the sixth pleosomite and by the sub-symmetrical feebly armed and sculpted first chelipeds. The specimen was obtained from a burrow inhabited by Alpheus rapacida and a goby, Vanderhorstia sp.

A1 - De Grave, S. SP - 735 EP - 740 AB - The genus Zuzalpheus Rios and Duffy, 2007 was established for species of the presumably monophyletic Synalpheus gambarelloides species group of the second-most speciose alpheid genus. Synalpheus Bate, 1888. However, the validity of Zuzalpheus as a distinct genus is questionnable. First, Zuzalpheus is embedded within Synalpheus in a previously published phylogeny of Synalpheus based on molecular and morphological data, marking Synalpheus paraphyletic. Secondly, the three morphological characters used by Rios and Duffy (2007) to distinguish these two genera are minor compared to distinctions among other alpheid genera; only two of these characters can be considered valid, and only tentatively so. Therefore, Zuzalpheus is synonimized with Synalpheus. However, Zuzalpheus does remain an available name, which could be used in a future subgeneric classification based on a comprehensive phylogenetic assessment of Synalpheus.

A1 - Cai, Y. A1 - Anker, A. SP - 287 EP - 293 AB - Freshwater caridean shrimps account for approximately a quarter of all described Caridea, numerically dominated by the Atyidae and Palaemonidae. With the exception of Antarctica, freshwater shrimp are present in all biogeographical regions. However, the Oriental region harbours the majority of species, whilst the Nearctic and western Palaearctic are very species-poor. Many species are important components of subsistence fisheries, whilst the Giant River Prawn forms the basis of an extensive aquaculture industry. A total of 13 species are threatened or endangered, with one species formally extinct.

A1 - Anker, A. SP - 43 EP - 52 AB - A new alpheid shrimp genus and species is described from the Niger delta in Nigeria. Leptathanas powelli gen. nov., sp. nov. appears to be associated "commensally" with burrows of mudshrimps, Upogebia furcata ( Aurivillius, 1898) ( Thalassinidea, Upogebiidae). Leptathanas gen. nov. is superficially similar to Leptalpheus Williams, 1965, a genus composed exclusively of infaunal species. However, it is more closely related to a generic complex around Athanas Leach, 1814, and in particular to Athanopsis Coutiere, 1896. The main diagnostic features of Leptathanas gen. nov. are the presence of an articulated plate on the sixth pleonite; the frontal margin of the carapace with a very short rostral projection and without orbital teeth; the asymmetrical and unequal chelipeds carried folded, with the propodus fitting in a ventral excavation of the merus; and the presence of stout cuspidate setae on the protopod of the uropod.
