Crustacea Cephaloecetes ungulatus sp. nov. Bubocorophiina Siphonoecetini Gulf of Oman Hormuz Strait

Abstract

The first member of Cephaloecetes in the north-western part of the Indian Ocean, Cephaloecetes ungulatus sp. nov., is described from Chabahar Bay, the Gulf of Oman and Qeshm Island in the western Hormuz Strait, Iran. The new species is characterized from the other two species of genus Cephaloecetes by a unique claw-shaped ventral plate on antenna 2 article 2.
