| Abstract | Of the eight species of Dicranodromia A. Milne Edwards, 1880 occurring in the Indo-West Pacific ocean, only one is known from Australian waters (Davie & Short, 1989; Guinot, 1995). Because the two homolodromiid specimens (a male and an ovigerous female from Queensland, from depths of 590 m and 650 m, respectively) known from Australia are damaged (Guinot, 1995: 220), their identity is still unclear. Davie and Short (1989: 158159) referred the male QM W10801 to D. baffini (Alcock and Anderson, 1899), whereas Guinot (1995) assigned it, as well as the ovigerous female QM W14372, to Dicranodromia aff. foersteri Guinot, 1993, "sous reserve". Among the crab material in the collections of the Western Australian Museum, Perth, is an ovigerous female of Dicranodromia karubar Guinot, 1993. This species was previously known from Indonesia, and is here recorded for the first time from Australian waters. The terminology follows Guinot (1995). Abbreviations used include: QM = Queensland Museum, Brisbane; WAM Western Australian Museum, Perth; PI, cheliped; P2-P5, second, third, fourth and fifth pereiopod respectively; cl and cw correspond to carapace maximal length and width respectively expressed in millimiters (mm); m, meters. |
