Paradoxapseudes floppae Bird, 2015 Fig. 12D Paradoxapseudes floppae : Bird (2015): 370 –375, figs 1–5, 400, table 2; Bird (2019): 69, table 10. Material examined . 99 specimens, AMS P.103183, SWP2017-135-2; 7 neuters, two preparatory (prep.). ♀♀, 3 ovigerous (ov.). ♀♀, AMS P.103259, SWP2017-137-2; 8 neuters, 4 prep. ♀♀, AIM MA168502, SWP2017-143 -2. Distribution . Raoul Island and Macauley Island, 4– 18 m. Remarks . These new records conform to those obtained previously ( ibid : 371, 375), although the shallowest depth is now potentially 4 m ( vs. 10 m). A particularly useful tabulation of seven external characters of the thenknown sixteen species of Paradoxapseudes was published by Tzeng & Hsueh (2014) as the Bird (2015) paper was in press. Another species, P. shimojiensis Kakui & Fujita, 2020, has been recently described. Excluding the number of antennal flagellar segments that is fairly consistent in the genus (five segments in 13 species, of 17), P . floppae shares, at the most, only two characters with three species: P . botosaneanui (Guţu, 2001) with five pereopod-1 superior plumose setae, and twelve pereopod-6 basis superior plumose setae; P. garthi (Menzies, 1953) with six and two antennular flagellar segments, and five and 13 uropod exopod and endopod segments respectively; and P. heroae (Sieg, 1986) with two cheliped carpus ventral apophyses, and four pereopod-1 propodus inferior spines. An as yet undescribed NZ species of Paradoxapseudes from the East Coast of the North Island does not appear to be conspecific with P. floppae (Bird & Webber unpublished data). : Published as part of Bird, Graham J., 2020, Additions to the Tanaidacea (Crustacea: Peracarida) of Rangitâhua, the Kermadec Islands, from the Southwest Pacific Expedition 2017, pp. 151-178 in Zootaxa 4860 (2) on page 152, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4860.2.1, http://zenodo.org/record/4413621 : {"references": ["Bird, G.
