Periclimenaeus aff. nobilii Bruce, 1974 View in CoL
Figure 1 View FIGURE 1 E–G
Material examine: 1Ψ, MAP070 A, ST017, 12°39.398’N 53°24.117’E, Ras Asfar, N of Shuab, NWcoast, 10–11 m, 9 March 1999, SMF 29209.
Host: Under stones, dead coral. Presumably from encrusting tunicate (Ascidiacea).
Remarks: The single small specimen, CL 1.5 mm, may be immature or adult of a small species. The rostrum is short, reaching only just beyond eyes, to distal margin of proximal antennular segment, with four acute dorsal teeth only. All pereiopods except the right third pereiopod are missing. The third ambulatory dactylus ( Figure 1 View FIGURE 1 F) corresponds closely to that of P. nobilii , lacking a distal accessory tooth on the corpus but with an acute basal tooth and the propod is armed with a pair of short robust distoventral spines only. The short, four toothed rostrum does not correspond with the P. nobilii type specimen, which has only two dorsal teeth, and without the second pereiopods the specimens identity cannot be established with certainty. In P. nobilii the third pereiopod propod is about 6.5 times longer than the dactylus as opposed to 4.0 times in the present specimen ( Figure 1 View FIGURE 1 E), and the dactylar corpus appears stouter (Bruce, 1974). The telson ( Figure 1 View FIGURE 1 G) differs in that the dorsal spines are more robust, about 0.1 of the telson length, and situated at 0.28 and 0.75 of the telson length, instead of 0.13 of the telson length and at 0.33 and 0.66 of the telson length as in P. nobilii .
