NOTES ON SOME INDO-PACIFIC PONTONIINAE, LIII. PERICLIMENAEUS SPECIES FROM THE HAWAIIAN REGION.

Forty-one specimens of the pontoniine shrimp genus Periclimenaeus Borradaile, 1915, from the Hawaiian region, collected between 1923 and 1937 and reported on by Charles H. Edmondson, have been re-examined. Thirty-seven are provisionally referred to P. quadridentatus (Rathbun, 1906) and two are described and illustrated as P. edmondsoni sp. nov. The systematic status of P. quadridentatus (Rathbun, 1906) and P. stylirostris Bruce, 1969, is discussed and P. marini, from Vietnam, is designated as a new species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
