Superficially, Kasagia, new genus, is most similar to the pisine genera Eurynome Leach, 1814, Choniognathus Rathbun, 1932, and Seiitaoides Griffin & Tranter, 1986, but can immediately be separated by its simple carapace armature and extremely long chelipeds. Key words: Crustacea, Decapoda, Brachyura, Majidae, taxonomy, new genus, new species, Philippines Introduction The deep-sea fauna of the steep reef slopes below 100 m in the Philippines is proving to be of substantial interest. Many of the species in this habitat have been shown to be either rare or new. One of the sampling methods used is novel the setting of tangle nets in deep-water along the surfaces of the deep-cliff surfaces (see Bouchet & Ng 2004; McLay & Ng 2004, 2005). Among the numerous specimens of majid crabs collected were several belonging to a small-size species of Pisinae. While superficially resembling members of the genus Eurynome Leach, 1814, it possesses several unusual characters that showed that it is not only a new species, but also belongs to a new genus. Specimens are deposited in the Crustacean Collection of the National Museum of the Philippines (NMCR), Manila; Zoological Reference Collection (ZRC) of the Raffles Museum of Biodiversity Research, National University of Singapore; and Muséum national d Histoire naturelle (MNHN), Paris. The terminology used essentially follows that of Griffin & Tranter (1986). The abbreviations G1 and G2 refer to the male first and second pleopods respectively, while the P2-P4 refer to the first to fourth ambulatory legs respectively. The measurements provided, in millimetres, are of the carapace length and width respectively. For the carapace length, the postrostral proportions are provided. For the carapace width, the lateral teeth or spines are included. Systematic account Subfamily Pisinae Alcock, 1895 Kasagia, new genus Diagnosis. Carapace ovoid.

2 dorostral spines, oval in cross-section. Supra-ocular margin forming a complete eave overlapping post-ocular spine; intercalated spine absent. Hepatic plate triangular. Basal antennal article triangular, formed by fused first 2 articles. Male cheliped very long, covered with setae; carpus short with spines; propodus long; fingers thin, tips crossing when closed. Ambulatory legs short, with merus carinated on upper part; other articles covered by setae. Male sternites 2 4 relatively wide. Abdomen with 6 free segments and telson. G1 with distal part dilated. Etymology. The genus name is derived from Balicasag ( the island of the broken crab), the place where the crab was found, kasag meaning crab in Tagalog. Gender feminine. Remarks. The new genus, Kasagia, has affinities with Eurynome Leach, 1814, and its allies. Eurynome was established for E. aspera (Pennant, 1777) from the Atlantic and Mediterranean, but over the years, 11 species have been attributed to this genus at one time or another (see Griffin 1964; Griffin & Tranter 1986). Griffin and Tranter (1986) reviewed the genus and separated its members into three genera: Eurynome Leach, 1814, sensu stricto, Choniognathus Rathbun, 1932, and Seiitaoides Griffin & Tranter, Eurynome was restricted to E. aspera (Pennant, 1777) (type species) (= E. scutellata Risso, 1827, E. boletifera Costa, 1838, E. longimana Stimpson, 1858, E. aspera var. acuta (A. Milne-Edwards & Bouvier, 1900), E. bituberculata Griffin, 1964, E. erosa A. Milne-Edwards, 1873, E. parvirostris Forest & Guinot, 1966, and E. spinosa Hailstone, Choniognathus was redefined to accomodate C. elegans (Stebbing, 1921), C. granulosus (Baker, 1906), C. reini (Balss, 1924) (= C. koreensis Rathbun, 1932, type species), and C. verhoeffi (Balss, 1929). In Seiitaoides Griffin & Tranter, 1986, only two species were included, S. orientalis (Sakai, 1961) (type species) and S. stimpsonii (Miers, 1884). Kasagia differs from Eurynome in that the carapace is covered by numerous small flattened or round granules except for a few small fungiform granules on the anterior and lateral regions (Figs. 1, 2A) (versus numerous large fungiform and plate-like granules in Eurynome, with some fusing to form large elevated plates, Figs. 2B), the anterior part of the thoracic sternum, notably around the margins of the sterno-abdominal cavity, is unornamented (Fig. 3C) (versus with granules and with the margin of the sterno-abdominal cavity lined with large raised plates, Fig. 3D), the ambulatory legs have prominent and complete carinated meri (Fig. 2A) (versus margins of meri serrated or uneven in Eurynome, Fig. 2B), the pseudorostral spines are ovoid in cross-section (versus C-shaped in Eurynome), the base of the fused basal antennal article has a lateral projection which extends anteriorly towards the post-orbital tooth (Fig. 3C) (versus without any projection in Eurynome, Fig. 3D), the supra-orbital eave overlaps the post-ocular tooth (Fig. 3A) (versus supra-orbital eave separated from the post-ocular tooth by a large gap in Eurynome, Fig. 3B, see also Hartnoll 1961: 175, fig. 2), the adult male chelipeds are extremely long, being approximately three times the carapace length and covered with short spines and numerous short, stiff setae (Figs. 2B, 4D) (versus at most two times carapace length with large lobiform teeth and scattered setae or almost glabrous, Figs. 2B, 4D), and the G1 is dilated distally (Fig. 5B, C) (versus with a prominent hook-like projection subdistally, Fig. 5A). With regards to the gap between the supra-orbital eave and post-ocular tooth, an intercalated spine is present in E. bituberculata (see Griffin 1964: 198, fig. 2), but in E. aspera, this spine is small (Fig. 2B, Hartnoll 1961: 179, 5a, b). Kasagia resembles Choniognathus in having numerous granules and two pseudorostral spines separated by a U-shaped hiatus. As in Choniognathus there is no preocular spine. However, Kasagia is very different from Choniognathus in that it has a supraorbital eave which overlaps the post-ocular spine but lacks an intercalated spine (Fig. 3) (versus with a distinct intercalated spine in Choniognathus, see Griffin 1965: 30, Fig. 4), the adult male chelipeds are approximately three times the carapace length, covered with short spines and numerous short, stiff setae (Figs. 2A, 4C) (versus at most two times carapace length with large teeth or spines and scattered setae) and the G1 is curved with a prominent expansion in the distal third and not setose (Fig. 5B, C) (versus G1 simple, straight with numerous setae in Choniognathus, see Griffin & Tranter 1986: 204, Fig. 69c, d). Compared to Seiitaoides, Kasagia differs in that the dorsal surface of the carapace only has small squam- 60 Zootaxa Magnolia Press RICHER DE FORGES & NG

3 iform granules (Fig. 1, 2A) (versus prominent large plates in Seiitaoides, Griffin 1970; Griffin & Tranter 1986), a supraorbital eave which overlaps the post-ocular spine but does not have an intercalated spine (Fig. 2A) (versus with a distinct intercalated tooth in Seiitaoides, see Griffin 1970; Griffin & Tranter 1986), and the G1 has an expanded distal part and with only sparse setae (Fig. 5B, C) (versus evenly straight with setae in Seiitaoides, see Griffin & Tranter 1986: 204, Fig. 69e, f).

Scales = 5.0 mm. propodus, dactylus short, strongly setose, almost completely covering surfaces. Male abdomen with 6 free segments and telson, surface covered with tomentum of short setae; first segment narrow distally; telson relatively long, tip pointed, slightly concave laterally. G1 simple, apical part dilated, margin appears folded, no spines or extensive setae present. Colour in life (Fig. 1). Kasagia arbastoi, is mostly reddish brown dorsally, with the posterior portions lighter in colour. The gastric regions are dark brown, while the regions around the rostrum and orbits are purplish. The meri of the legs are white with regularly arranged reddish-brown spots. Discussion. In general appearance, and certainly with regards to the long male chelipeds and carapace features, Kasagia arbastoi, new species, most closely resembles some species of Eurynome, especially E. aspera and E. erosa. Other than the differences already discussed for the genera, K. arbastoi has acuminate rostral spines which are relatively short (less than six times the length of the carapace), the meri of the ambulatory legs are dorsally cristate, and the hepatic margin has a flattened triangular plate largely separate from the postorbital lobe. The granulation of the carapace of K. arbastoi superficially resembles Chionognathus granulosa (see Baker 1906: 108, Pl. 1, figs. 3, 3a), but the two differ markedly in all other aspects. The carinated merus of the ambulatory legs of K. arbastoi is similar to that of Chionognathus elegans described from South Africa, but in K. arbastoi there is a large distal tooth after the carina ends, a structure absent on C. elegans. In C. elegans, there are also spines on the lower border of the P5, which are absent in K. arbastoi (see A NEW GENUS AND NEW SPECIES OF MAJIDAE Zootaxa Magnolia Press 65

8 Stebbing 1921: 454, Pl. 108; Barnard 1950: 57, fig. 12d, e). Kasagia arbastoi was collected from the steep slopes of Balicasag Island in the central Philippines, where the local fishermen have developed a novel way of using tangle nets to collect deep-water molluscs. This rarely used fishing method, in which the nets are set to lie against the steep deep sea cliffs, is the only way to sample this steep habitat. At Balicasag, this method has helped discover many new and interesting species in recent years (e.g. Dromiidae, Dynomenidae: McLay & Ng 2004, 2005; Homolidae: Richer de Forges & Ng 2007a; Homolodromiidae: Ng & McLay 2005; Majidae: Richer de Forges & Ng 2007b; Leucosidae: Komatsu et al. 2005; Galil & Ng 2007; Ng & McLay 2005; Mathildellidae: Ng & Ho 2003; Crosnier & Ng 2004; Calappidae: Ng 2003; Pseudoziidae: Ng & Liao 2002; Goneplacidae: Castro, in press; Vultocinidae: Ng & Manuel-Santos 2007; Stomatopoda: Ahyong, 2004; various taxa: Takeda & Manuel 2000; Takeda & Manuel- Santos, 2007). All this new material obtained from the sampling of the slopes shows that in many cases, rarity is an illusion. Species appear to be rare when their preferred habitats are unknown or because such habitats cannot be sampled effectively (Ng 2006). Acknowledgements The first specimens of this new genus were obtained through a collaborative survey of the Panglao area by the first author and Lawrence Liao of the University of San Carlos (USC), Cebu. The holotype was obtained from a Franco-Philippine workshop cum expedition, PANGLAO 2004, organized by Philippe Bouchet (MNHN) and Danilo Largo (USC). We thank them for help and support.
