Crustacea Amphipoda Lysianassidae Acidostomatidae Australia taxonomy new species

Abstract

The new lysianassoid amphipod family Acidostomatidae is described for the widespread genus Acidostoma Lilljeborg, 1865and the endemic Antarctic genus Shackletonia K.H. Barnard, 1931. All species of Acidostoma are described including three new species. Acidostoma obesum (Bate & Westwood, 1861) is discussed in detail.
