Rectarcturus
Schultz, 1981
Remarks:
Rectarcturus
contains two species,
Rectarcturus kophameli
(
Ohlin, 1901
)
and
R. tuberculatus
Schultz, 1981
, redescribed in detail by
Park & Wägele (1995)
. The new species is placed in this genus on the basis of the key characters of the antenna and ornamentation (
Poore 2013
). The single specimen is a female in which pleopod 1 is much shorter than pleopod 2; female pleopods have not been illustrated previously.
