Abstract

ABSTRACT The present paper reports the deep-sea pandalid shrimps of the genus Pandalopsis Bate collected from the Pacific coast of eastern Hokkaido, Japan, in 1987-1990. Five species including 1 new record from the western Pacific Ocean and 2 new species were identified and described: P. coccinata Urita, 1941; P. japonica Balss, 1914; P. longipes, new species; P. cf. longirostris Rathbun, 1902a; and P. rubra, new species. Problems on the systematics of the genus are noted. A key to the species of the genus, recognized to be valid at present, is provided.
