Description
Pseudotanais sp. FP#1
(Fig. 22)
Material examined. One non-ov. ♀ (?), 1.0 mm, one ov. ♀, 1.5 mm, P. 102327, Stn 28-61.
Distribution. Anarua Bay, Rapa Iti, Austral Islands, coral rubble, 16.5– 17 m.
Remarks. Species-identification of these two small specimens (one in poor condition and partly covered with detritus) was not possible, although they have non-forcipate chelae (Fig. 22A), setose pereopod-1 basis (Fig. 22B), and pereopods 2–3 propodal setation of a “ non-affinis ” group, i.e. with the inferodistal (and anaxial) spine Fig. 22C) clearly shorter than the claw (dactylus and unguis), rather than being as long as or nearly as long (Bird & Holdich 1989). The cephalothorax is about as long as pereonites 1–3 combined and the length ratio of pereonites 1–3 is 6:10:15. The pereopods are slender, as are the uropods (Fig. 22D). Additional material of this species is needed to clarify its taxonomy.
