Five new species of Axiidae (Crustacea: Decapoda: Axiidea) from deep-water off Taiwan, with description of a new genus Author Lin, Tomoyuki Komai Feng-Jiau Author Chan, Tin-Yam text Zootaxa 2010 2352 1 28 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.193489 7975c079-5a3e-47f5-83b4-b47524d1298c 1175-5326 193489 Genus Eiconaxius Bate, 1888 Remarks . Kensley (1996b) briefly summarized the taxonomy of the genus, and listed 23 species. Since then, Sakai & Ohta (2005) added a further new species, Eiconaxius hakuhou , from the Sulu Sea, the Philippines . As indicated by Kensley (1996b) , dentition of the median carina and rostral margins, development of the submedian and lateral carinae, shape of the abdominal pleura seem to be particularly useful in species discrimination. Two specimens of this genus are now known from Taiwanese waters. In spite of the paucity of the material, comparison with literature and specimens from other localities led to the conclusion that the Taiwanese material represents two separate new species.
