Bountiana, a new genus for Eriphia norfolcensis Grant & McCulloch, 1907 (Crustacea: Brachyura: Eriphiidae)

Memoirs of the Queensland Museum, 45:267-272, figs 1.

Eriphia norfolcensis is separated from Eriphia sensu stricto and placed into a new genus Bountiana. The two genera differ in many features including carapace shape, eye size and shape; differentiation of efferent branchial openings; length of second antennular segment; length and disposition of basal antennal segment; conformation of gonopod 2; and distinctness of suture between male thoracic sternites 2 and 3. A lectotype is designated for E. norfolcensis Grant and McCulloch, 1907.
