A new stomatopod (Crustacea: Malacostraca) of the genus Harpiosquilla Holthuis, 1964 from Taiwan and Australia

Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington, 111:929-935.

A new stomatopod, Harpiosquilla ocellata, is described from Taiwan and Australia. Harpiosquilla ocellata is closely related to H. annandalei (Kemp, 1911), but differs in bearing unarmed submedian carinae on the fifth abdominal somite and in reaching a much larger size. The two species closely resemble each other in color pattern, but differ in the markings of the telson and uropods.
