Abstract |
Two new species of the genus Phlyctenophora are described, from Cape Range, Australia, and one from Sulawesi, lndonesia. This is the first time that appendages of Phlyctenophora species are described with certainty. The discovery of a new organ on the antennule, and the morphology of the vestibulum of premature male valves are discussed. The taxonomic position of the genus Phlyctenophora and the status of the type species are commented upon. |
