Introduction

Pandalid shrimps are cosmopolitan in distribution. They occupy of a variety of habitats and niches, from an oceanic pelagic existence to commensal benthic associations, and from the littoral zone to more than 3000 metres. About 20 genera are currently recognised, of which seven are known from Australia. Holthuis (1993: 261) provided a key to genera. Some important recent papers covering Australian pandalids include those of Kensley et al. (1987), Hanamura & Takeda (1987) and Hanamura & Evans (1996).

Diagnosis

Rostrum well developed, laterally compressed, variable; antennular flagella simple, without accessory branches; mandible with palp and with incisor and molar processes deeply separated; first maxilliped with flagellum on exopod; second maxilliped normal, two distal segments not arising side by side from penultimate segment; first pereiopod simple or microscopically chelate; second pereiopod chelate, carpus subdivided into two or more articles; first male pleopod with endopod normal, not unusually enlarged or elaborately convoluted. (After Chace 1985).
