Diagnosis.
–
Rostrum not reaching end of antennular peduncle, slightly upturned anteriorly, armed dorsally with 10 teeth in posterior 1/2, including 3 on carapace posterior to orbital margin, armed ventrally with 6 teeth. Antennal spine placed slightly below inferior orbital angle; pterygostomian margin rounded. Lateral pair of posterior telson spines longer than intermedian pairs. Stylocerite reaching near end of basal segment of antennular peduncle. Carpus of first pereiopod slightly excavated. Epipods well developed on first 4 pereiopods (after
Chace, 1997
).
Remarks.
–
No fresh material was available for the present study.
Chace (1997)
has provided a diagnosis based on the original description. Although the first author has examined the single
type
specimen, the poor condition of the specimen prevents us from re-describing the species in detail. With its complete, well developed epipods (well developed in first 4 vs. at most, developed only in first 2),
C. acutirostris
can easily be separated from other
Cairidina
species of Lake Poso,
Sulawesi
. Although several collection trips have been made to the Lake Poso, specimens of
C. acutirostris
have not been collected. As all these trips did not sample all the possible habitats along the lake as well as the rivers connected the lake thoroughly, it is too early for us to state any possible causes.
Distribution.
–
Known only from Lake Poso in
central Sulawesi
