Abstract
The sponge-associated benthic shrimp Spongicoloides weijiaensis Xu, Zhou & Wang, 2017 is reported for the first time from the Southwest Indian Ridge (SWIR). A single female specimen of S.weijiaensis was associated with the hexactinellid sponge belonging to Dictyaulus sp. that was collected using a benthic sledge from the southwest Indian Ridge at a water depth of 2358 m. The spongicolid shrimp is reported using both classical taxonomic and molecular tools (cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1—COI). The S. weijiaensis specimen from the SWIR appears to represent a morphological variant that has pigmented eyes, telson with thirteen spines, and a broadly rounded setiferous posterior margin. This new report at a latitude of nearly 26° South on the seamount provides the first Mid Ocean Ridge sector record for stenopodidean shrimp known to date.
