Comment or advice on this application is invited for publication in the Bulletin and should be sent to the Executive Secretary I.C.Z.N., c/o The Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD, U.K. (e-mail: iczn@nhm.ac.uk). Case 3135. Scyllarus orientalis Lund, 1793 (currently Thenus orientalis ; Crustacea, Decapoda): proposed designation of a neotype. By P. J. F. Davie, Queensland Museum, P.O.

Abstract: The purpose of this application is to designate a neotype for Thenus orientalis (Lund, 1793), a commercially important shovel-nose lobster (family Scyllaridae). A revisionary study of Thenus Leach, 1815, long considered to be monotypic, has now recognized Ž ve species. All species are morphologically similar and identiŽ cation can be difŽ cult. A neotype for T. orientalis is needed, as the remaining dry, putative type specimen lacks all legs and mouthparts, making certain identiŽ cation impossible. Species of Thenus are found in shallow coastal waters throughout the tropical Indian and western PaciŽ c regions. The names Thenus and T. orientalis were placed on OfŽ cial Lists in Opinion 519 (August, 1958). The following Opinion was published in the same part of the Bulletin.
