AhyoNg Australian Museum, 6 College St., Sydney, NSW 2010, Australia, and School of Biological, Earth & Environmental Sciences, University of New South Wales, Kensington, NSW 2052; email: shane.ahyong@austmus.gov.au Abstract. The endemic hawaiian mantis shrimp, Parvisquilla sinuosa (Edmondson, 1921), is redescribed based on the holotype and additional specimens. The new material includes the first known male of the species, whose morphology confirms the presence of sexual dimorphism in uropodal protopod length, as observed in other species of Parvisquilla. of the three known species of Parvisquilla, P. sinuosa is unique in having a dorsally carinate rather than dorsally tuberculate telson characteristic of its congeners, P. multituberculata (Borradaile, 1898) and P. dominguez Ahyong & Erdmann, 2003. Introduction Twenty species of mantis shrimp (Stomatopoda) are currently known from the hawaiian Islands (Eldredge & Miller 1997, Ahyong 2002), of which one species, Parvisquilla sinuosa (Edmondson, 1921), is apparently endemic. Parvisquilla sinuosa, however, is poorly documented, having neither been adequately described nor figured. The species is redescribed and figured here based on the holotype and other material. The present study is dedicated to the memory of Lu Eldredge for his major contributions to hawaiian zoology and for making the holotype of P. sinuosa available for study before his unfortunate passing. Methods Morphological terminology largely follows Ahyong (2001, 2012a). Measurements are given in millimeters. Total length (TL) is measured from the apex of the rostral plate to the apices of the submedian teeth of the telson. Carapace length (CL) is measured along the dorsal midline and excludes the rostral plate. Corneal Index is given as 100CL divided by the cornea width. Specimens examined are deposited in the Bernice P. Bishop Museum, honolulu (BPBM); and Zoological Museum, University of Copenhagen (ZMUC).

Parvisquilla sinuosa (Edmondson, 1921): A–I, holotype female, TL 17 mm (BPBM S526); J–K, male (ZMUC CRU20560). A, anterior cephalothorax; B, right eye; C, right dorsal process of antennular somite, lateral view; D, right raptorial claw; E, thoracic somites 5–8, right dorsal view; F, right thoracic somite 5, lateral view; G, abdominal somites 5–6, telson and right uropod, dorsal view; h, telson, ventral view; I–J, right uropod, ventral view; K, right male pleopod 1 endopod, anterior view.

Parvisquilla sinuosa was originally described in the genus Coronida Brooks, 1886, and subsequently transferred to Parvisquilla Manning, 1973, alongside P. multituberculata (Borradaille, 1898) (type locality: Lifou). A third species, Parvisquilla dominguez Ahyong & Erdmann, 2003, was 61 62 BISHOP MUSEUM BULLETIN IN ZOOLOGY 9 (2015) described from guam. Parvisquilla was thought to be a lysiosquilloid (Manning 1978, 1980, 1995), most closely related to the coronidids largely on the basis of the heel on the outer margin of the dactylus of the raptorial claw and elaborate dorsal telson ornamentation. Ahyong (2001) and Ahyong & Erdmann (2003), however, showed that Parvisquilla belongs in the Squillidae based on mouthpart, pleopodal and postlarval features. Variation within the present series is slight. The smallest specimen examined (female, TL 11 mm) may be a juvenile, having less pronounced dorsal telson ornamentation in addition to more numerous and more spiniform submedian and intermediate telson denticles (submedian 7 or 8, intermediate 9 compared to submedian 4–6, intermediate 4 or 5). The present series includes the first known male of the species; it exhibits sexual dimorphism in the more elongate uropodal protopod as reported for the two other species of the genus (Ahyong & Erdmann 2003, Ahyong 2012b). Parvisquilla sinuosa is unique in the genus for having the dorsal surface of the telson covered with sinuous carinae rather than tubercles as in P. multituberculata and P. dominguez. Parvisquilla sinuosa and P. dominguez are presently known only from their respective type localities, whereas P. multituberculata ranges widely in the Indo-West Pacific, from the Maldives to the South China Sea, okinawa, Lifou, Tonga, Samoa, and French Polynesia (Manning 1978, Ďuriš 1987, Ahyong 2002a 2012). Species of Parvisquilla are transparent-white in life, living in crevices and holes in and around the base of corals (Ahyong & Erdmann 2003). All known specimens of P. sinuosa were collected from among dead coral heads on Waikīkī Reef, o‘ahu, hawai‘i (Edmondson 1921, 1946; Townsley 1953). Distribution. Presently known only from hawai‘i.
