Description. Based on male, 22.7 mm, AM P.96587. Head, lateral cephalic lobe subtriangular, apically subacute. Antenna 1 peduncular article 1 without anterodistal lobe; accessory flagellum not forming cap, 8- articulate, terminal article not offset; primary flagellum with strong 2-field callynophore; calceoli absent. Antenna 2 peduncular article 3 short; articles 3 to 5 not enlarged, brush setae present; calceoli present. Labrum, epistome and upper lip separate, with weak suture epistome broadly rounded; upper lip produced, subacute apically. Mandible molar setose with vestigial triturating surface; palp attached about midway, article 2 not strongly broadened distally, article 3 blade-like. Maxilla 1 outer plate setal-tooth 7 present, cuspidate along most of straight inner margin; palp distal margin with apical robust setae. Maxilliped outer plate with 9 apical robust setae. Gnathopod 1 chelate; coxa reduced, significantly shorter than coxa 2, subquadrate; basis moderately setose along anterior margin, or sparsely setose along anterior margin; ischium very long (length 4 × to 6 × breadth); carpus very long (length more than 4 × breadth), subequal in length to propodus, without posterior lobe; propodus margins subparallel, palm obtuse, entire, slightly concave; dactylus simple. Gnathopod 2 propodus palm transverse, slightly concave . Pereopod 4 coxa with a well-developed posteroventral lobe. Pereopod 5 coxa without distinct lateral ridge; basis broader than long, posterior margin not serrate. Pereopod 7 basis posterodistally produced less than halfway along merus. Pleonite 3 without mid-dorsal carina , not produced dorsodistally, posterodorsal margin not produced. Epimeron 3 posterior margin smooth, posteroventral corner subquadrate, producing minute spine . Urosomite 1 not projecting over urosomite 2, with anterodorsal notch and slightly rounded boss. Uropod 2 inner ramus without constriction. Uropod 3 peduncle without dorsolateral flange; outer ramus article 2 short, with strong plumose setae on both rami. Telson deeply cleft, with 1 apical robust setae on each lobe. Habitat. Marine. Feeding strategies. Scavenger (Diffenthal & Horton 2007). Depth range. 963 – 1864 m. Remarks. Our material agrees very well with the description of Diffenthal & Horton (2007). This is the first record of S. arabiensis outside the type locality in the Arabian Sea. This remarkable range extension from the north-western Indian Ocean into the South Pacific Ocean indicates a wide range for the species. There is no other species of Stephonyx known from this vast area except for the S. biscayensis of J.L. Barnard (1961) and Ledoyer (1986) from Kenya and Madagascar, which appears to be an undescribed species (see remarks under S. biscayensis ). Distribution. Australia.

Description. Based on male, 22.7 mm, AM P.96587. Head, lateral cephalic lobe subtriangular, apically subacute. Antenna 1 peduncular article 1 without anterodistal lobe; accessory flagellum not forming cap, 8- articulate, terminal article not offset; primary flagellum with strong 2-field callynophore; calceoli absent. Antenna 2 peduncular article 3 short; articles 3 to 5 not enlarged, brush setae present; calceoli present. Labrum, epistome and upper lip separate, with weak suture epistome broadly rounded; upper lip produced, subacute apically. Mandible molar setose with vestigial triturating surface; palp attached about midway, article 2 not strongly broadened distally, article 3 blade-like. Maxilla 1 outer plate setal-tooth 7 present, cuspidate along most of straight inner margin; palp distal margin with apical robust setae. Maxilliped outer plate with 9 apical robust setae. Gnathopod 1 chelate; coxa reduced, significantly shorter than coxa 2, subquadrate; basis moderately setose along anterior margin, or sparsely setose along anterior margin; ischium very long (length 4 × to 6 × breadth); carpus very long (length more than 4 × breadth), subequal in length to propodus, without posterior lobe; propodus margins subparallel, palm obtuse, entire, slightly concave; dactylus simple. Gnathopod 2 propodus palm transverse, slightly concave . Pereopod 4 coxa with a well-developed posteroventral lobe. Pereopod 5 coxa without distinct lateral ridge; basis broader than long, posterior margin not serrate. Pereopod 7 basis posterodistally produced less than halfway along merus. Pleonite 3 without mid-dorsal carina , not produced dorsodistally, posterodorsal margin not produced. Epimeron 3 posterior margin smooth, posteroventral corner subquadrate, producing minute spine . Urosomite 1 not projecting over urosomite 2, with anterodorsal notch and slightly rounded boss. Uropod 2 inner ramus without constriction. Uropod 3 peduncle without dorsolateral flange; outer ramus article 2 short, with strong plumose setae on both rami. Telson deeply cleft, with 1 apical robust setae on each lobe. Habitat. Marine. Feeding strategies. Scavenger (Diffenthal & Horton 2007). Depth range. 963 – 1864 m. Remarks. Our material agrees very well with the description of Diffenthal & Horton (2007). This is the first record of S. arabiensis outside the type locality in the Arabian Sea. This remarkable range extension from the north-western Indian Ocean into the South Pacific Ocean indicates a wide range for the species. There is no other species of Stephonyx known from this vast area except for the S. biscayensis of J.L. Barnard (1961) and Ledoyer (1986) from Kenya and Madagascar, which appears to be an undescribed species (see remarks under S. biscayensis ). Distribution. Australia.
