Stomatopod Crustacea of Christmas Island and the Cocos (Keeling) Islands

The stomatopod crustaceans of Christmas Island and the Cocos (Keeling) Islands are reported based on recent collections made by parties from the National University of Singapore, Australian Museum and Queensland Museum. A new species, Pseudosquillisma tweediei, is described from the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. Four species are reported for the first time from one or both of these localities, bringing the total known stomatopod fauna from these islands to 13 species in nine genera and five families. The discovery of Parvisquilla multituberculata at Christmas Island marks the first record of Squillidae from there. A lectotype is selected for Raoulserenea ornata (Miers, 1880).
