Abstract
A new species of commensal shrimp, Typton nanus sp. nov., (Decapoda: Palaemonidae) from the Australian North-west Shelf, is described and illustrated. The single example was collected from 40-46m from an unidentified sponge host. Seven species of Typton Costa are now known from the Indo-West Pacific region, all also occurring in Australian waters. The present report represents the greatest depth record for an Indo-West species of the genus.
