Remarks.
Species of the genus
Gastrosaccus
are divided into two main groups,
Normani
-group and
Spinifergroup
. In the first group; endopods of third pleopods of male are completely lacking, there are many spines on the inner margin of the uropodal endopod, and 10 to 12 lateral spines on the telson with wide space between the penultimate and apical ones., Whereas in the
Spinifer
-group; both rami of the second male pleopods are well developed and straight, there are six spines on the inner margin of the uropodal endopod and six lateral spines on the telson (O.S.
Tattersall 1952
). The species
G. dunckeri
belongs to the
Normani
-group and resembles
G
.
sanctus
(
Spinifer
-group). However, in
G
.
dunckeri
, the posterior margin of the carapace is armed with two extremely long, reflexed lappets which are truncated distally, while in.
G
.
