Remarks. Guernea namhaensis is similar to G. tomiokaensis Hirayama, 1985 from Japanese waters, in possessing a similar shaped dorsal keel of urosomite 1 and having the lateral cephalic lobe extending far beyond peduncular article 1 of antenna 1. However, our species is obviously distinguished from G. tomiokaensis (different characters of G. tomiokaensis in brackets) by the following group of features: 1) inner plate of maxilliped small, with 2 apical setae and the distal article of palp bears 2 small apical setae (vs inner plate vestigial, with 1 short apical seta and the distal article of palp bears 1 small apical seta); 2) posterior lobe of coxa 5 broadly rounded, extending strongly downward (vs not extending downward); 3) urosomite 1 extends backward above following urosomite dorsodistally (vs not extended backward above following urosomite); 4) urosomites 2–3 quadrate in dorsal view, sloped plane with 5 or 6 pairs of lateral spines and 1 transverse row of 4 or 5 dorsal spines (vs triangular in dorsal view, only with 5 opposite pairs of lateral spines); and 5) peduncle of uropod 3 subequal in length to rami (vs peduncle 0.6 x as long as rami).
The new species is also similar to Guernea sombati Hirayama, 1986 from the South China Sea and Hong Kong. Our new species however, is distinguished from G.. s o m b a t i (different characters of G.. sombati in brackets) by the following features: 1) lateral cephalic lobe extending far beyond peduncular article 1 of antenna 1 (vs extending to near the end of peduncular article 1 of antenna 1); 2) in male, antenna 1 peduncle longer than flagellum (vs shorter than flagellum); 3) in male, antenna 2 peduncular article 4 swollen (vs relatively slender); 4) in male, antenna 2 peduncular article 5 relatively slender and elongate, 0.78 x as long as article 4 (vs short, about 0.5 x as long as article 4); 5) in female, antenna 1 peduncular article 2 short and stout, 0.44 x as long as article 1 (vs elongate, about 0.8 x as long as article 1); and 6) urosomites 2–3 with 5 or 6 pairs of lateral spines and a transverse row of 4 or 5 dorsal spines (vs 5 spines on each of the dorsal ridges).
