Abstract

A new species of the alpheid shrimp genus Salmoneus is described and illustrated from Aqaba, the Red Sea. Salmoneus chadwickae, sp. n., is the fifth member of the S. cristatus species-group, it is distinguishable from all congeners by a strongly hooked, right-angled tip of the fixed finger on the major chela. The new species is compared with known species from the Red Sea, and with other species of the S. cristatus species-group from other Indo-West Pacific regions, and confirmed also with the combined analysis of mitochondrial and nuclear gene sequences (16S and H3, respectively). A 19th century sample of Salmoneus spp. donated by H. Coutière to the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris, was examined; it revealed a mix of several species that are reported and illustrated here. New records of S. auroculatus from the Philippines, S. aff. cristatus from Papua New Guinea (PNG), S. gracilipes from PNG, and of S. tricristatus from Taiwan, are provided, and a possible occurrence of S. aff. gracilipes and S. aff. seticheles in the Red Sea is discussed. Five species of the Indo-West Pacific S. cristatus species-group have been analysed using morphological and molecular comparisons. An identification key to the species of the S. cristatus species-group is provided.

The authors are indebted to Nanette E. Chadwick (Auburn University, Alabama, USA) for the invitation to participate in the US – Jordan Project: Summer 2008 and 2009 (National Science Foundation International Programs; International Research Experiences for Students) and to the administration of the Marine Science Station, Aqaba, Jordan, for providing facilities and making it possible to study the local shrimp fauna. Arthur Anker (Museum of Zoology, University of São Paulo) kindly read an early draft of the manuscript and provided the authors with valuable comments and additional specimens for comparisons.

The specimens for comparison were provided by the following institutions: Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle (MNHN), Paris; Naturalis Biodiversity Center, Leiden; National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium, Pingtung, Taiwan; Oxford University Museum of Natural History, Oxford; and Florida Museum of Natural History, University of Florida, Gainesville.

The specimens from the Philippines were collected during the ‘PANGLAO 2005’ expedition under a collaboration between the MNHN, Paris (principal investigator P. Bouchet) and the Philippines Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (principal investigator L. Labe) and supported by the Total Foundation for Biodiversity and the Sea, French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the National University of Singapore, and the University of San Carlos.

The specimens from Papua New Guinea were collected during the ‘Kavieng Lagoon Biodiversity Survey, 2014’ (principal investigators P. Bouchet and J. Kinch) – a part of the ‘Our Planet Reviewed’ expedition organised jointly by MNHN, Paris, Pro-Natura International and the Institut de Recherche pour le Développement, with support from Papua New Guinea’s National Fisheries Authority. The organisers acknowledge supporting funding from the Total Foundation, the Laboratoire d’Excellence Diversités Biologiques et Culturelles (LabEx BCDiv, ANR-10-LABX-0003-BCDiv), the Programme Investissement d’Avenir (ANR-11-IDEX-0004-02), the Fonds Pacifique, and CNRS’ Institut Ecologie et Environnement.

This study was partially facilitated by support from the Project CZ.1.05/2.1.00/03.0100 (IET) financed by the Structural Funds of the European Union and Project LO1208 of the National Feasibility Programme-I of the Czech Republic (Z.Ď.), and from the program “Mobility of students and young researchers”, projects VaV28/2009, the Moravian-Silesian Regional Authority (I.H.).
