Mozambique. Laurenco Marques Bay, 8 m, 10.1968, 1 male cl 14.5 mm, 1 female cl 21.5 mm ( BMNH).

Description. Entire body densely pubescent. Rostrum with 8–10 (usually 8 or 9, excluding epigastric tooth) teeth along entire dorsal border; moderately curved upwards to straight in adult females, with ventral border slightly convex to straight, tip straight or very slightly recurved downwards and with ventral margin more or less straight, tips of rostral teeth aligned in a concave or straight configuration; in males and juveniles rostrum straight to slightly curving downwards, ventral border from convex to straight or even concave, tip not recurved downwards, tips of rostral teeth aligned in a straight or crest configuration; extending to second segment of antennular peduncle (from proximal to distal ends, generally longer in large individuals); postrostral carina from blunt to sharp, extending to near posterior carapace but sometimes rather indistinct in posterior half. Pereiopods I to III with well-developed epipods. Pereiopod I generally bearing small ischial spine, which occasionally absent (more often in small individuals). Pereiopod IV in females with coxa not particularly expanded medially. Pereiopod V more or less extending to tip of scaphocerite. Abdomen with dorsal carinae distinct and elevated on somites II to VI; that on somite II short but sometimes highly laminate; somite III with distinct dorsal carina only at posterior 2/3 of somite, dorsal carina generally absent or rudimentary at anterior 1/3 of somite; ridges on somites IV and V posteriorly incised and not terminating in distinct spines. Telson with strong but blunt dorsolateral carinae, bearing 3 or 4 (usually 3) pairs of movable lateral spines. Male petasma with lateral margins of stem distinctly converging distally; distolateral lobes with ventral margins more or less straight, tips of dorsal and ventral flaps coinciding, forming sharp angle. Female thelycum with anterior plate semi-triangular, generally sunken or flattened; anterior margin of posterior plate distinctly concave, with median cleft.

Coloration. Body pinkish red to pinkish orange, with lateral surfaces paler in color. Rostrum reddish with distal 1/3 whitish. Eyes black-brown. Antennular and antennal flagella pale white. Pereiopods pinkish white and often with yellowish patches. Pleopods pinkish to pinkish red, with lateral surfaces bearing whitish patches. Abdomen with dorsal carinae at somites III to VI whitish, somite II sometimes with a broad saddle-like red patch. Uropods reddish except basal parts pale white, distal and lateral margins of exopods and distal and mesial margins of endopods broadly white.

Distribution. Widely distributed in the Indo-West Pacific and known with certainty from the Mozambique, Madagascar, Seychelles, Red Sea, Persian Gulf, Gulf of Oman, India, Andaman Sea, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines, Taiwan, New Caledonia and Papua New Guinea; at depths of 8 to about 100 m.

Remarks. Although the types of T. aspera in the Zoological Survey of India, Calcutta, are not available for examination, the description and figures provided of the types by Alcock (1905, 1906) clearly show that his “ Trachypenaeus asper ” is a Trachysalambria and has epipods on the anterior three pereiopods but the dorsal carinae on the abdominal somites IV and V lack posterior spines. Amongst those Trachysalambria species that fit the above characteristics, only females of the present form sometimes have the rostrum very straight as illustrated in the female type figured by Alcock (1906: fig. 28). Thus, we follow Sakaji & Hayashi (2003) in identifying the present form as Alcock’s (1905) species. Besides, Alcock’s (1905, 1906) original description and figures also agree well with the present form.

Although T. aspera View in CoL was treated as a synonym of T. curvirostris View in CoL by many workers (e.g., Schmitt 1926; Hall 1961; Holthuis 1980; Chan 1998), it is found to be a distinct species and actually has the widest geographical distribution in the genus with large variations in morphological characters. The rostrum in the males of the present form differs from the other species of the genus without posterior spines at the abdominal somites IV and V in sometimes curving downwards and with the rostral teeth forming a crest ( Fig. 12 View FIGURE 12 E). However, the rostrum is sometimes straight in males ( Fig. 12 View FIGURE 12 D) and moderately curved upwards in females ( Fig. 12 View FIGURE 12 A, B; more often in the material from southwestern Indian Ocean). Moreover, material from Taiwan generally has the postrostral carina distinct over the entire length and with the abdominal carinae higher. Previous workers ( Motoh & Buri 1984 with material from the Philippines; Chaitiamvong & Supongpan 1992 with material from Thailand; Sakaji & Hayashi 2003 with material from Taiwan) emphasized that the present species has a unique coloration in the genus by having a red saddle on the abdominal somite II. Color photographs are available for the present material from Taiwan, New Caledonia and Madagascar. Their coloration is nearly identical but only the Taiwanese material has the red saddle on the abdomen ( Fig. 20A View FIGURE 20. A ). However, those from the New Caledonia and Madagascar lack this red saddle ( Fig. 20 View FIGURE 20. A B) and therefore with coloration nearly identical to T. dentata sp. nov. ( Fig. 19 View FIGURE 19. A, B C). Despite large variations in morphology and coloration, there is 2% or less genetic differences found amongst the specimens from different localities including those from Taiwan, Philippines, Indonesia, New Caledonia, Seychelles and Madagascar ( Tables 2, 3).

Sakaji & Hayashi (2003) had discussed in detail previous reports related to T. aspera View in CoL . However, as it is now known that the present species has a very wide distribution with large variations in characters. Only the reports of Hall (1961, 1962) from Singapore, Motoh & Buri (1984) from the Philippines, Chaitiamvong & Supongpan (1992) from Thailand contain enough information to determine that their materials belong to T. aspera View in CoL . The Borneo specimens reported as “ T. aspera View in CoL ” by Kubo (1949) actually belong to T. malaiana View in CoL by lacking epipods on the anterior two pereiopods (also see Dall 1957; Hall 1961; Starobogatov 1972). Whether previous reports of T. aspera View in CoL (e.g., Balss 1915; Starobogatov 1972) and T. curvirostris View in CoL (e.g., George 1967; Grey et al. 1983; de Freitas 1987) represent the present species is still uncertain. For example, Sakaji & Hayashi (2003) considered the “ T. curvirostris View in CoL ” female reported from northwestern Australia by Grey et al. (1983) as T. aspera View in CoL . However, the color photograph provided by Grey et al. (1983: pl. 45) has the rostrum opaque and lacks distinct white markings on the rostrum, abdominal carinae and uropods. Re-examination of their material is necessary to determine which species their specimens belong to. On the other hand, re-examination of Ramadan’s (1938) small female (now in poor condition) from the Red Sea reveals that this female is actually closest to T. aspera View in CoL instead of the other species as reported before (e.g., ‘ T. curvirostris View in CoL ’ by Ramadan 1938 and ‘ T. longipes View in CoL ’ [= now T. dentata sp. nov.] by Sakaji & Hayashi 2003). The John Murray Expedition female (rostrum straight, ventral border also straight and tip not recurved downwards) fits quite well with the re-defined characteristics of T. aspera View in CoL given above, including having 10 dorsal rostral teeth, well-marked postrostral carina to posterior carapace and lacking ischial spine on the pereiopod I. The only discrepancy is that there is a minute posterior spine in the dorsal carina of the abdominal somite V in this Red Sea specimen, making it somewhat similar to T. parvispina sp. nov. As there is no trace of a posterior spine on the dorsal carina of abdominal somite IV, this damaged small specimen is identified with T. aspera View in CoL instead of T. parvispina sp. nov.
