Ordo: Isopoda
Familia: Cymothoidae
Name
Pleopodias sp. – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Pleopodias elongatus Barnard, 1936: 167–168, fig. 7f–g. (not P. elongatus Richardson, 1910).
- Pleopodias sp. Bruce, 1987: 87, figs 1–2.—Trilles, 1994: 109.
Material
Ovigerous female (14.5 mm TL), 232 km north of Port Hedland, Western Australia, 10 Oct 1982, 298-300 m depth, coll: L. Marsh & S. Slack-Smith on FRV Soela (WAM 607-80). Also noted: Specimen is crushed within the tube. Not examined.
Ovigerous female (15.5 mm TL), 370–419 fathoms, north of Andaman Islands (14°13'N; 93°40'E). Not examined.
Distribution
Andaman Islands and Australia (Barnard 1936[1]; Bruce 1987[2]).
Hosts
Not known.
Remarks
Bruce (1987)[2] reported what appears to be an undescribed Pleopodias species; however, the Australian specimen is crushed and the whereabouts of Barnard’s specimen is unknown. This species differs from P. elongatus (which it was originally identified as by Barnard) in having a sub-truncate and very narrow pleotelson, uropods which extend to the posterior margin of the pleotelson, antennula bases contiguous, a shorter rostrum, larger eyes, and a less laterally rounded pereonite 7. A tentative description of the Australian specimen was provided by Bruce (1987)[2] but more specimens (in good condition) are required in order to describe the species.
