Cr000783 (
holotype
female, 4.0 mm)
.
Distribution.
Northwest Australian Shelf (
Australia
, WA);
83 m
.
Remarks
. The damaged
holotype
lacking maxilliped 3 and chelipeds is the only specimen. The long horizontal sharp rostrum, swollen eyestalks and oval propodus on pereopod 3 are consistent with
Spinicallianassa
.
The telson, reillustrated here (fig. 53), is 1.2 times as wide as long, has spiniform setae in the anterior dorsal transverse row, a pair of dorsal spiniform setae more lateral and posterior, and irregular short spiniform setae on the posterior margin, not as excavate as illustrated by
Sakai (1988)
. The three facial setae on the uropod are confirmed (fig. 53). The specimen is a female with gonopores on the coxae of pereopods 3 and female-like pleopods 1 and 2, not a male as stated by
Sakai (1988
,
1999
). The species may be synonymous with
S. spinicauda
.
