[The holotype specimen of the pontoniine shrimp, Periclimenaeus spinicaudata Bruce, 1969, is described and illustrated for the first time. It is found to closely resemble Paraclimenaeus fimbriatus (Borradaile, 1915) and is transferred to the genus Paraclimenaeus Bruce, 1988b. Apopontonia dubia Bruce, 1981b is found to be a junior synonym of Paraclimenaeus spinicauda (Bruce, 1969). The pontoniine genera Apopontonia Bruce, 1976, Paraclimenaeus Bruce, 1988, and Climeniperaeus Bruce, 1996 are re-defined. Apopontonia is restricted to the single species Apopontonia falcirostris Bruce, 1976. Apopontonia orbitospinata Bruce, 2001, is transferred to the genus Climentiperaeus, together with Periclimenaeus truncatus (Rathbun, 1906) and Periclimenaeus orbitospinatus Bruce, 1969. Apopontonia seticauda Bruce, 2008, is also transferred to the genus Paraclimenaeus Bruce. /// Le spécimen holotype de la crevette Pontoniinae Periclimenaeus spinicaudata Bruce, 1969, est décrit et illustré pour la première fois.
