Type locality. South of Point Hicks , Victoria, Australia (38°17.70'S 149°11.30'E), 400 m depth GoogleMaps .

Etymology. Named for the sailing vessel Pomona, blown ashore between Lake Tyers and the mouth of the Snowy River in 1866; used as a noun in apposition.

Description. Based on holotype, female, 5.2 mm, NMV J67540 View Materials . Head lateral cephalic lobe apically rounded; eyes oval. Antenna 1 accessory flagellum not forming operculum; primary flagellum with weak 2-field callynophore, robust setae absent from proximal articles; calceoli absent. Antenna 2 peduncular article 3 short; articles 3 to 5 not enlarged, brush setae absent; flagellum short, calceoli absent. Labrum, epistome and upper lip separate; epistome not produced, concave; upper lip not produced. Mandible molar setose with a vestigial triturating surface. Maxilla 1 outer plate setal-tooth 7 present, left and right symmetrical, cuspidate distally; palp with robust setae along half of the distal margin, serrate along other half. Maxilliped outer plate apical robust setae absent.

Pereonites 1–7 dorsally smooth. Gnathopod 1 weakly subchelate, appearing simple; coxa large, about as long as coxa 2, subrectangular with straight anterior margin; basis sparsely setose along anterior margin; ischium short; carpus short, subequal in length to propodus, without posterior lobe; propodus small, sparsely setose along posterior margin, palm extremely acute, entire, straight. Gnathopod 2 propodus palm transverse, with minutely serrate pad on posterior corner. Pereopod 5 basis about as long as broad, not posteroproximally excavate, posterior margin not serrate. Pereopod 7 basis posterodistally produced, not reaching merus.

Pleonite 3 without mid-dorsal carina, not produced dorsodistally, posterodorsal margin not produced. Epimeron 3 posterior margin smooth, posteroventral corner produced, narrowly rounded. Urosomite 1 with slight notch dorsally. Uropod 2 inner ramus with moderate constriction. Uropod 3 inner and outer rami well developed, outer ramus article 2 long, without plumose setae on rami. Telson entire , slightly longer than wide, truncated with 2 subapical robust setae.

Sexually dimorphic characters. Based on paratype, male, 3.1 mm, NMV J67541 View Materials . Head lateral cephalic lobe subacute, slightly downward-pointing. Upper lip produced slightly in front of epistome. Antenna 1 primary flagellum with strong 2-field callynophore.

Remarks. Paralysianopsis pomona sp. nov. is most similar to P. cf. jebbi . However, the upper lip of P. cf. jebbi is more produced and rounded than that of P. pomona ; the maxilla 1 palp of P. cf. jebbi lacks any robust setae (robust setae are present in P. pomona ); and the pereopod 5 basis is longer than broad in P. cf. jebbi compared with P. pomona where it is as long as broad.

Depth range. 50– 800 m.

Distribution. Australia. Eastern coasts from Mooloolaba, Queensland, to the Freycinet Peninsula, Tasmania, and the Bass Strait.
