ABSTRACT
Chace, Fenner A., Jr., and AJ. Bruce. The Caridean Shrimps (Crustacea: Decapoda) of the
Albatross Philippine Expedition, 1907-1910, Part 6: Superfamily Palaemonoidea. Smithsonian
Contributions to Zoology, number 543, 152 pages 23 figures, 1993.—World checklists are
proposed for 194 presumably valid species and subspecies of the genus Macrobrachium,
together with their synonyms and type localities, and for 70 recognized genera and 408 valid
species and subspecies of the subfamily Pontoniinae, with their synonyms, type species, and
type localities. Keys are offered to the families and subfamilies of the superfamily
Palaemonoidea, to all recognized genera of the Pontoniinae, Gnathophyllidae, and the genera
and species of the Hymenoceridae, to the Indo-Pacific genera of the Palaemoninae, to all species
and subspecies of Leander, Leandrites, Leptocarpus, Nematopalaemon, Urocaridella,
Anchistus, Coralliocaris, Dasella, Dasycaris, Hamodactylus, Harpiliopsis, Jocaste, Onycocaris,
Palaemonella, Paranchistus, and Gnathophyllum, and to the Philippine-Indonesian
species of Macrobrachium, Periclimenaeus, and Periclimenes. The following new species are
described: Urocaridella vestigialis from Selat Butung, Celebes, Indonesia, in 68 meters;
Periclimenes albatrossae from the South China Sea off western Luzon, Philippines, in 315
meters; and Periclimenes calcaratus from Albay Gulf, southeastern Luzon, Philippines, in about
267 meters. The specimen from Kepulauan Kai, Indonesia, identified by Holthuis (1952) as
Periclimenaeus truncatus (Rathbun, 1906) proves to be distinct from that species and is
designated as the holotype of the new species Periclimenaeus truncoideus.
