Description
Summary:Shoemakerella Pirlot, 1936 Remarks. Shoemakerella Pirlot, 1936: 264, was previously known only from the western North Atlantic Ocean, with a possible occurrence in the eastern North Pacific Ocean represented by Hurley’s (1963) record of Shoemakerella cubensis (as Lysianopsis ) from the Gulf of California. The present record is the first from the Indo-West Pacific Ocean. Shoemakerella is very similar to Arugella Pirlot, 1936: 259, a genus known from eastern Indonesia. Both genera have only slight sexual dimorphism, a molar reduced to a setose flap, no apical robust setae on the maxilla 1 palp, simple first gnathopods, a constricted inner ramus on uropod 2 and short third uropods with a flanged peduncle. However in Shoemakerella the mandibular molar has a medial row of small robust setae (absent in Arugella ); the first article of the mandibular palp is long (short in Arugella ); and STB - STD of the maxilla 1 outer plate inner row setal-teeth are stout (slender in Arugella ). : Published as part of Lowry, J.
