Abstract
A new species of sponge-associated pontoniine shrimp from the Belizean Barrier Reef in the Caribbean Sea is described and illustrated, and its systematic position is discussed. The single specimen available is incomplete, lacking the major second pereiopod. A comb-like arrangement of the cutting edges on the first pereiopod fingers is unique within the genus. A very short carpocerite and a strongly reduced incisor process on the mandible are among other features which are rare in other Periclimenaeus species.
