Remarks. — Including the species described herein, there are 18 known species of Harpinia ( Barnard and Karaman, 1991) . All are united by their possession of a straight rostrum and short antennae as well as by the absence of eyes. Specific differentiation occurs mainly by comparison of females, as males are generally rare in collections. Specific differences are often based on the morphology of the basis of pereopod 7, the posterodisital corner of epimeron 3, the uropodal rami and coxae.
