Agononida Baba & de Saint Laurent, 1996: 441 .

Remarks. The species of Agononida reported below represent the first records of the genus from New South Wales. One species, A. procera , is described as new. Agononida incerta , A. eminens and A. squamosa are already known from northern Australia ( Baba 1994, Davie 2002), but A. marini is a new record for Australian waters. Two additional species of Agononida were reported from tropical Australia by Baba (1986, 1994) ( A. pilosimanus Baba, 1969 , A. soelae Baba, 1986 ). Under the account of A. squamosa , we recognise Alcock’s (1894) Munida squamosa var. prolixa as a distinct species of Agononida . The seven species of Agononida currently known from Australia are distinguished in the key below.
