Abstract
AbstractMembers of the shrimp genus StenopusLatreille, 1819 generally inhabit shallow-water coral reefs. Individuals are colorful, with many of them highly sought in the aquarium trade. A recent biodiversity cruise to the Saya de Malha Banks in the western Indian Ocean collected a new species of Stenopus from rather deep waters, at 192–216 m depth. This species is unusual in having a long rostrum overreaching the scaphocerite and a red and white color pattern, unique for Stenopus. A badly damaged specimen from French Polynesia likely belongs to the new species. The characteristics of the new species are illustrated by X-ray microcomputed tomography images (uCT imaging), line drawings, and color photographs. A key is also provided for the 12 known species of Stenopus.
