Abstract
Two new caprellids, Deutella antonbruuni sp. nov. and D. indica sp. nov., are described from material collected by the vessel “Anton Bruun” during the International Indian Ocean Expedition 19631964. Complete descriptions and illustrations of the new species are provided and are compared to other Deutella species. A distribution map is included. Deutella indica possesses a unique seta formula for the genus Deutella, 2-x-1 instead of 1-x-1, adding to the diagnosis of the genus Deutella and the family Pariambidae. This study represents the first record of the genus Deutella in the Indian Ocean.References
