Crustacea Mediterranean Sea Paranamixis fishelsoni sp. nov. systematic description

Abstract

A new Paranamixis species, is described based on an anamorph male (adult male on terminal stage), and on a leucomorph specimen which is the shape, in this genus, of the females and also of the males which have not reached the terminal stage. The presence of a Paranamixis species is recorded for the first time in the Mediterranean Sea. A key of the species known is given.
