A New Species of the Genus Anisomysis From the Great Barrier Reef (Mysidacea)

A New Species of the Genus Anisomysis From the Great Barrier Reef (Mysidacea) A NEW SPECIES OF THE GENUS ANISOMYSIS FROM THE GREAT BARRIER REEF (MYSIDACEA) BY MASAAKI MURANO Tokyo University of Fisheries, 4-5-7 Konan, Minato-ku, Tokyo 108, Japan RÉSUMÉ Une nouvelle espèce du genre Anisomysis, A. mullini, est décrite d'après des spécimens prove- nant de la Grande Barrière d'Australie. Elle est apparentée à A. hanseni Nouvel, A. vasseuri Ledoyer et A. levi Bacescu, par la forme générale, mais se distingue par la forme et l'armature du telson, et par le longueur relative des trois segments exopodiaux du quatrième pléopode mâle. The genus Anisomysis is mostly confined to warm coastal waters in the Indo- West Pacific and as far as I can determine, 27 species and 1 subspecies have been recorded. The present new species was collected by Professor Michael M. Mullin, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, in September 1984 during diving near the fore reef of Davies Reef (E. of Townsville), Great Barrier Reef. The species was observed swarming over dark coral rock in 2-3 m of water. The holotype, allotype and paratypes are deposited in the National Science Museum, Tokyo (NSMT) and additional paratypes are lodged in the U.S. National Museum of Natural History (USNM).
