dc.description.abstract | The cymothoid genus, Pleopodias Richardson, 1910, is revised and a new species from South Africa is
recorded. Pleopodias nielbrucei sp. n. can be distinguished by large eyes covering majority of the cephalon
(almost in contact), antennula bases wide apart, antenna extending to middle of pereonite 2, subtruncate
pleotelson, pereopod 7 with numerous acute robust setae on the propodus as well as the carpus, and the
uropod exopod longer than the endopod. The three known species, Pleopodias diaphus Avdeev, 1975;
P. elongatus Richardson, 1910; and P. vigilans Richardson, 1911 are also redescribed. Pleopodias nielbrucei
sp. n. differs from these known species in both morphological characters as well as geographical distribution.
A key to the Pleopodias species is provided | en_US |
