Diagnosis.
Male pleopod 1 endopod has two spinelike lobes at apical part of outer margin.
Description.
Maximum length: male 3.6 mm and female 4.2 mm.
Body oval, flattened and pale brown. Cephalon with lateral lobes slightly protruding laterally, apex rounded. Eyes with three ommatidia. Pereonites 1-2 with postero-lateral corners nearly right-angled, pereonites 3-7 with postero-lateral corners directed backwards. Pleonites 3-5 with epimera falciform, protruding backwards. Telson triangular, twice as wide as long, lateral margin slightly concave, ending with rounded apex. Uropod exopod as long as endopod (Fig. 1A View Figure 1 ).
Antenna with fifth article of peduncle slightly longer than flagellum; ratio of flagellum approximately 3:2:2 (Fig. 2A View Figure 2 ).
Pereopod 1 with long strong setae on sternal margin of merus and carpus, carpus with transversal antennal grooming brush (Fig. 2B View Figure 2 ). Pereopod 7 with several strong setae on sternal margin; basis with distinct water conducting system; ischium gently concave on rostral surface of base, and straight on sternal margin (Fig. 2C View Figure 2 ).
Male pleopod 1 exopod almost quadrangular, outer margin convex; endopod with apical part bearing two spinelike lobes on outer margin and four tiny spines on inner margin (Fig. 2D View Figure 2 ). Pleopod 2 exopod triangular with several setae on outer margin; endopod flagelliform, longer than exopod (Fig. 2E View Figure 2 ). Pleopods 3-5 exopods triangular with several setae on outer margin (Fig. 2F-H View Figure 2 ).
Etymology.
Latin: prefix duo - = double plus spinatus = spinous. The new species name refers to the male pleopod 1 endopod with two spinelike lobes at the apical part of outer margin.
Remarks.
This new species is similar to E. silvestrii Kwon & Taiti, 1993, but it can be distinguished by pereopod 7 ischium slightly concave at the base of the rostral surface, and pleopod 1 endopod bearing two spinelike lobes at the apical part of the outer margin (Fig. 2C, D View Figure 2 ). In E. silvestrii , the base of pereopod 7 ischium with a large flat rounded lobe on the rostral surface, and the apical part of pleopod 1 endopod with three triangular lobes on the outer margin ( Kwon and Taiti 1993: figs 110, 112).
