Beaufortia SERIES OF MISCELLANEOUS PUBLICATIONS INSTITUTE OF TAXONOMIC ZOOLOGY (ZOOLOGICAL MUSEUM) UNIVERSITY OF AMSTERDAM No. 318 Volume 25 September 1, 1976 Redescriptions of Oratosquilla indica (Hansen) verrucosa (Hansen), with accounts of a new genus and Clorida and two new species (Crustacea, Stomatopoda) Raymond B. Manning Abstract Examination of the syntypes of Oratosquilla indica (Hansen) and Clorida verrucosa (Hansen), originally described from materials collected by the Siboga Expedition,has revealed that each of these species is based on two distinct species. A new is erected for O. indica and two genus previously undescribed species. One of the of syntypes C. verrucosa is identified with C. merguiensis(tiwari and Biswas, 1952). Introduction As part of a longterm study of the Stomatopoda of the Indian Ocean, all available types of nominal species have been examined. Syntypes of Oratosquilla indica (Hansen, 1926) and Clorida verrucosa (Hansen, 1926), both based on materials collected in Indonesian waters by the "Siboga" Expedition, were examined at the Zoôlogisch Museum, Amsterdam, in 1971, and, in both cases, the two syntypes were found to comprise two distinct species. Oratosquilla indica is transferred to a new genus, which includes two other new species, one based on a syntype of O. indica and one based on material from Madagascar and Indonesia. One of the two syntypes of Clorida verrucosa actually is referable to the very similar C. merquiensis (Tiwari & Biswas, 1952). Lectotypes are selected below for each of Hansen's species, which are redescribed and reillustrated. All of the specimens described below from the "Siboga" collections are in the Zoôlogisch Museum, Amsterdam. The holotype of the new species from Madagascar and Indonesia described below is in the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution (USNM). Terms and measurements used in the descriptions have been explained in earlier papers (Manning, Received: February 16, 1976 1

Studies on Indian Ocean stomatopods have been supported in part by the Smithsonian Institution through its Research Awards Program. Areosquilla new genus Definition. of moderate size, cornea bilobed, noticeably wider than stalk. Inner margin of eye longer than outer. Ocular scales separate, subtruncate. Carapace with normal or reduced complement of carinae, median carina present, lacking anterior bifurcation. Anterolateral angles of carapace armed, posterolateral margins rounded. Mandibular palp absent. Two epipods present. Ischium of fifth maxilliped with ventrallydirected spine on posterior margin. Dactylus of claw with 68 teeth, opposable margin of propodus evenly pectinate. Lateral processes of fifth, sixth, and seventh thoracic somites bilobed, anterior lobe of process of fifth somite lower than posterior lobe. Abdomen with 8 carinae on anterior 5 somites, 6 on sixth somite, carinae unarmedanterior to fourth somite. Telson flattened, lacking supplementary dorsal ornamentation, submedian teeth with fixed apices; 3 pairs of marginal teeth and prelateral lobes present. Basal prolongation of uropod with inner margin crenulate, unarmed. Typespecies. Areosquilla indica (Hansen, 1926). Name. from the Greek, araios, thin, in combination with generic name Squilla. The gender is feminine. Remarks. indica group was one of 8 groups of species in the genus Oratosquilla recognized by me in an earlier study (Manning, 1971: 3). The characteristics of this group included the absence of the mandibular palp, the reduction in numbers of epipods to 2, the reduction in numbers of armed carinae on the abdomen, and the presence of more than 6 teethon the claw (one of the species described herein has but 6 teeth on the claw). All of these features can be used to separate members of this new genus from Oratosquilla. Of the other genera which share a bilobedlateral process on the fifth thoracic somite, Carinosquilla, Dictyosquilla, and all differ Lophosquilla, from both Areosquilla and Oratosquilla in having much more complex dorsal ornamentation on the body. Alima differs in having the lateral processes of the sixth and seventh thoracic somites at best indistinctly bilobed. Chopra (1934: 37) commented on the unique combinationof characters in A. indica, as follows: Though Squilla indica has a superficial similarity with the species in the nepa group of the genus, it differs from all the members of this group in a number of very wellmarked characters. The total suppression of the mandibular palp, the presence of epipodites on two legs only, and the possession of seven (or eight) teeth on the raptorial dactylus clearly separate this species from all its allies". These are the main characters which can be used to distinguish representatives of Areosquilla from similar species now placed in Oratosquilla, such as O. birsteini Makarov, 1971.

Other measurements in of mm, lectotype: carapace length 7.2; cornea width 1.9; antennular peduncle length 9.0; rostral plate length 1.1, width 1.2; telson length 4.7, width 5.6. Remarks. specimen illustrated by Hansen (1926: pl. 1 figs. 4ac) is here selected as the lectotype. The smaller male syntype, the paralectotype, originally reported by Hansen, is the holotype of A. hanseni, described above. The long antennules, relatively large number of intermediatedenticles on the telson, and complete absence of the postanal keel will help to distinguish this species from A. hanseni and A. interstincta. The specimens reported by Chopra (1934, 1939) apparently belong to this species, but they should be reexamined. He noted that his specimens had but 7 teeth on the claw and reported a pattern of spination on the abdominal carinae resembling that of the type. The species was only listed by Moosa (1974), so it is not possible to definitely identify his material with A. indica.

Remarks. small female from the "Siboga" collections agrees in almost all details with my notes based on an examination of the type of i C. merguiensis, the main difference being in the spination of the abdominal carinae (see description) and on the "Siboga" specimen the distal spine on the uropodal exopod is sharper. These differences are probably a reflection of the size differenceof the two known specimens; additional material might show that the "Siboga" specimen represents a distinct species, but for now it seems best to refer it to C. merguiensis. The material identified with this species by Blumstein (1974) lacked a mandibular palp and certainly represents a different, probably undescribed, species. The submedian carinae of the fifth abdominal somite are very low and difficult to detect unless the specimen is dry. As suggested by Hansen's identification of this with C. verrucosa specimen and by its placement with that species in the same couplet of a key to species of Clorida which I published in 1968 (Manning, 1968b: 45), C. merguiensis is very similar to C. verrucosa. It differs in lacking a carina on the rostral plate, having fewer abdominal carinae armed, lacking submedian carinae on the fourth abdominal somite, having a much shorter postanal keel, in having longer movable spines on the uropodal exopod, and in having a longer proximal segment on the uropodal exopod. In addition, C. merguiensis may occur in shallower water than does C. verrucosa, for the type of the latter species was taken in 247 m and the two known specimens of C. merguiensis were taken in 1331 and 60 m. Distribution. region, where it is known from two localities. The type was collected from 4 miles NNE of Kabusa Island, Mergui Archipelago, in 33 fms (60 m).

11 Fig. 5. Clorida verrucosa (Hansen, 1926), male lectotype, TL 45.5 mm: a, anterior portion of body; b, eye; c, carpus, propodus, and dactylus of claw; d, lateral processes of fifth, sixth, seventh thoracic somites; e, anterior 5 abdominal somites, dorsal view; f, sixth abdominal somite, telson, and uropod; g, submedian teeth and denticles of telson; h, basal prolongation ofuropod (Setae omitted in all figures).

The Only 12 than adjacent stalk; length of eye 2.0 times greatest width. Corneal index 733. Rostral plate (Fig. 5a) triangular, longer than broad, with low median keel anteriorly. Anterolateral margins of carapace (Fig. 5a) straight or slightly concave, anterolateral angles armed. Mandibular palp and 4 epipods present. Dactylus of claw (Fig. 5c) with 5 teeth, outer margin lacking conspicuous angled lobe. Lateral process of fifth thoracic (Fig. 5d) somite a sharp, anterolaterallydirected spine, sharp ventral spine also present. Lateral of sixth processes and seventh thoracic somites (Fig. 5d) rounded and posterolaterally, of seventh somite flattened process laterally, appearing subtruncate. Thoracic somites lacking submedian carinae. Anterior 3 abdominal somites (Fig. 5e) lacking submedian carinae, fourth and fifth somites with short, unarmed submedian carinae. Abdominal carinae spined as follows: submedian 6, intermediate 26, lateral 26, marginal 25. Sixth abdominal somite lacking supplementary spinules on posterior margin, dorsal surface lateral to submedian carinae tuberculate. Telson with wellmarked prelateral lobes, dorsal ornamentation as illustrated (Fig. 50 (left submedian tooth damaged); welldeveloped postanal keel present ventrally. Marginal denticles of telson 3, 7, 1, outer margin of intermediate tooth slightly tuberculate. Uropodal exopod (Fig. 50 with 8 movable spines on outer margin of proximal segment, distalmost slender, not extending to midlength of distal segment; distal segment elongate, longer than proximal. Basal prolongation of uropod (Fig. 5h) with 89 slender, fixed spinules and 12 tubercles on inner margin and larger lobe at base of endopod; lobe between apical spines large, rounded. Color pattern completely faded. Measurements. specimen examined, male lectotype, total length 45.5 mm. Measurements were not given by Anonymous (1972) and Blumstein (1974). Other measurements of lectotype, in mm: carapace lêngth 8.8; cornea width 1.2; antennular peduncle length 4.9; rostral plate length 1.7, width 1.3; fifth abdominal somitewidth 10.0; telson length 6.0, width8.3. Remarks. larger of the two syntypes, the male specimen illustrated by Hansen (1926: pl. 1 figs, lad) is here selected as the lectotype. The smaller syntype, the paralectotype, appears to be identifiable with C. merguiensis (see above). As suggested by Hansen (1926: 4) the transverse crease in the rostral plate, which he figured, is artificial. The short, low anterior carina is present. Differences between this species and the very similar C. merguiensis have been discussed underthe account of that species. It is not certain whether the two post1926 references to this species are based on material of this species or of C. merguiensis. The lectotype of C. verrucosa was collected at a depth of 247 m, whereas the specimens reported by Anonymous (1972) and Blumstein (1974) were taken in depths of 2530 m and 2025 m, respectively. In addition, the material reported by Blumstein lacked the ventral spine on the fifth thoracic somite; that spine is present in both C. merguiensis and C. verrucosa.
