Siriella australiensis
Panampunnayil, 1995
Type
locality.
Southwest
coast of
Australia
(
Panampunnayil 1995
)
.
Record from
Thailand
.
Khlong Don Sak,
Surat Thani Province
(
Murano & Fukuoka 2008
).
Habitat and depth range.
Murano &
Fukuoka
(2008)
did not provide the habitat and depth of the collected specimens. The occurrence of this species has been recorded from 1 up to
50 meter
in depth (see
Panampunnayil 1995
;
Biju
et al.
2006
).
Distribution.
Siriella australiensis
is known from
Australia
(
Panampunnayil 1995
), Minicoy lagoon,
India
(
Biju
et al.
2006
),
Philippines
and
Thailand
(
Murano & Fukuoka 2008
).
Remarks.
Hansen (1910)
divided 15 Asian species of the genus
Siriella
into 4 groups. Later,
Ii (1964)
expanded the grouping of the
Siriella
mysids into six groups,
Thompsoni -group
,
Inornata
-group
,
Dubia
-group
,
Pacifica
- group
,
Aiquiremis -group
and
Anomala
-group
. However, after further revision,
Ii’s (1964)
grouping was expanded with 3 new groups to include previous non-categorized species. These were the
Australiensis
-group
,
Brevicaudata
- group
, and
Singularis
-group
(
Murano &
Fukuoka
2008
).
Species
Siriella australiensis
and
S
.
scissilis
are placed within the
Australiensis-group
due to the anterior margin of carapace more or less produced into triangular rostral plate; labrum with long frontal process. Endopod of middle pairs of thoracic limbs a little longer than those of anterior and posterior pairs; pseudobranchial rami of second to fourth male pleopods spirally coiled; exopod of third male pleopod and both rami of fourth male pleopod with or without remarkably modified setae; proximal segment of uropodal exopod armed with only spines on outer margin; inner margin of uropodal endopod armed with spines showing alternate arrangement of longer and shorter ones; telson long, more than 2.5 times as long as broad at base (
Murano &
Fukuoka
2008
).
