Type material. Type material of Lycaea serrata could not be found in any major European institution and is considered lost. The type locality is the Bay of Bengal. Claus’s (1887) illustration of a male readily characterise this distinctive species. Type material of synonyms. The three female syntypes of Metalycaea globosa are in the NHMD, all labelled “Type” in alcohol. The specimens were collected by the Thor from the Mediterranean Sea, stn. 112 [36°56’N 02°15’E], 25 mw, 27 June 1910 (NHMD- 84411, previously CRU-6567); stn. 118 [41°00’N 06°43’E], 65 mw, 30 June 1910 (NHMD- 86800, previously CRU-9301) and stn. 160 [35°59’N 28°14’E], 1000 mw, 1 August 1910 (NHMD- 86799, previously CRU-9300). The specimen from stn. 118 is illustrated by Stephensen (1925). An examination of this material has proven that it is indistinguishable from mature female specimens of L. serrata . Material examined.

Atlantic , off Brazil [08°02’S 24°59’W], 64 m, 1 female, 1246981. Diagnosis. Body length of mature females up to 16.0 mm and males up to 9.0 mm. Head of females ovalshaped, almost 2 x as deep as long, as long as first 4 pereonites combined. Head of males relatively smaller than females, 2 x as deep as long, almost as long as first 4 pereonites combined. Buccal mass protruded well below head. Callynophore of A1 of males without antero-distal corner; postero-distal corner small, rounded, partly over-lapping following article. Mature females with pereonites inflated, resembling transverse rollers (as in Iulopis ), progressively more raised dorsally; pleonites also with raised dorsal corners. Mature males and immature females with dorsal corners of pereonites 4–7 only slightly raised; pleonites 1–2 may also have slightly raised dorsal corners. G1 and G2 sub-chelate, G2 about 1.5 x as long as G1. G1 basis inflated anteriorly with evenly rounded anterior margin; carpus trapezoid, with obliquely excavate distal margin, with small, sharp, postero-distal tooth; postero-distal corner of propodus not produced posteriorly to dactylus; dactylus relatively long and slender, length about 0.8 x propodus. G2 carpus slightly less excavate than G1; propodus and dactylus like that of G1. P3–6 with relatively short, slender dactylus, those of P3 and P4 about 0.2 x propodus, or slightly less. P3 and P4 morphologically similar, P4 marginally longer than P3; merus slightly inflated anteriorly, slightly longer than propodus and about 0.5 x length basis; propodus slightly longer than carpus, with slight postero-distal excavation and slightly serrated margin. P5 of very large females like that of males, otherwise as follows; length about 1.2 x P4, 1.3 x P6; basis rectangular, relatively slender, length slightly more than 3 x maximum width; merus relatively long and slender, length about 1.6 x propodus, almost 0.7 x basis; carpus sub-equal in length to propodus. P5 of males; length almost 1.4 x P4, about 1.3 x P6; basis rectangular, relatively slender, length almost 3 x maximum width; merus with distinct anterior bulge, especially in mature specimens, length 1.4 x propodus, slightly more than 0.6 x basis; carpus also with distinct anterior bulge, sub-equal in length to propodus; propodus with slight serrations on anterior margin. P6 basis pear-shaped, especially in females where the length is about 1.4 x maximum width; merus length about 0.5 x basis, about 1.2 x propodus; carpus length about 0.8 x propodus; anterior margin of carpus and propodus, and antero-distal corner of merus, slightly serrated. P7 basis with bulging posterior margin, length about 1.8 x maximum width, about 0.7 x basis of P 6 in males, almost as long as basis of P 6 in females; length of remaining articles less than 0.2 x basis; dactylus degenerative or absent. U1 and U2 endopod not fused with peduncle. U1 peduncle length about 2.0 x exopod in females, slightly less in males; rami equal in length. Telson slightly longer than width at base, with evenly rounded, almost pointed apex. Remarks. Lycaea serrata is the largest and one of the most distinctive species of Lycaea. Apart from the obliquely excavate carpus of G1 and G2, it is easily distinguished by a number of unusual characters. In particular, in mature females the pereonites are characteristically inflated resembling transverse rollers (similar to Iulopis ) and the dorsal corners of the pleonites are also significantly raised. In mature males, and to a lesser extent in juvenile males and females, some pereonites (usually 4–7) and the first two pleonites are carinate. Also, in mature males and very large females the merus and carpus of P5 is distinctly inflated. In addition, the propodus of P3 and P4 has a slight postero-distal excavation; the basis of P6 is pear-shaped and the distal articles of P7 are together much shorter than the basis, with a degenerative dactylus. The degree of the excavation of the carpus of G1 and G2 can vary slightly but is always more extreme in G1. The discovery of L. proserrata amongst collections identified as L. serrata indicate that more species may be determined amongst the “ serrata ’ group with a more detailed analysis of the gnathopod morphology and other characters. Its similarity to L. proserrata is discussed under that species. A salp associate has not been recorded for this species. Distribution. This appears to be mainly a tropical species having been recorded from the tropical regions of all three oceans and the Mediterranean Sea. It has also been recorded from the warmer parts of the North Atlantic, as far as 41°N. : Published as part of Zeidler, Wolfgang, 2021, Review of the hyperiidean amphipod family Lycaeidae Claus, 1879 (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Hyperiidea), pp. 1-59 in Zootaxa 5081 (1) on pages 39-42, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5081.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/5769323 : {"references": ["Claus, C.
