Abstract |
Gigantione petalomerae sp. nov. infests the dromiid crab Petalomem pulchra Miers in New Caledonia. Two species of Pseudione show new host and geographic records: P. nephropsi Shiino, 1951, infests Metanephropsis velutiniis Chan & Yu at Tanimbar Islands, Indonesia; P. elongata elongata (Hansen, 1897) infests Neinatocarcinus sp. in Chesterfield Islands; both species are redescribed in detail. Pseudione taniinbarensis, sp. nov. infests Nephropsis sulcata Macpherson at Tanimbar Islands, Indonesia. As a result of these redescriptions, the subspecies P. nephropsi atlantica Bourdon, 1971, is considered a separate species, Pseudione atlantica Bourdon, 1971, and the variety P. elongata var. norinalis Nierstrasz & Brender à Brandis, 1931, is considered invalid. |
