Abstract

ABSTRACT Numerous specimens of a new, deep-water stomatopod, Altosquilla soelae, new genus, new species (Bathysquillidae), have been collected from the Australian Northwest Shelf area, at depths of 400-456 m. This new species is the first representative of the Bathysquillidae to be found in Australian waters. Altosquilla soelae is immediately distinguishable from all other stomatopods by the presence of five pairs of conspicuous, dorsally curved, mobile spines along the posterior margin of the telson.
