Natatolana pellucida (Tattersall, 1921) Cirolana pellucida Tattersall, 1921: 206, pl. II figs. 4–10.– Nierstrasz, 1931: 158.– Hurley, 1957: 11.– 1961: 267. Natatolana pellucida .– Bruce, 1981: 958.– 1986: 76, figs. 49, 50.– Brusca et al ., 1995: 82.– Bruce et al ., 2002: 152. Type material . Syntypes: 3, 7.5 mm, 2♀♀, 11.3, 12.0 mm, BMNH 1921.11.29.22-24 (measurements of Bruce (1986), examined and newly measured here as—undissected female, 11 mm, partially dissected 3, 9.5 mm and fully dissected female, 12 mm); many specimens, BMNH 1921.11.29.25-44. All examined. Type locality: off Three Kings Island, New Zealand [c. 34°14'S 172°12'E, British Antarctic ( Terra Nova ) Expedition Station 130], surface. Material examined . Queensland : series from off East Fitzroy Reef, AM P47619 –47622; 29, 23°34.92'S 152°11.76'E, 58 m, 16–17 Jun. 1993, SEAS QLD-952; 1, 23°32.53'S 152°16.45'E, 105 m, 16–17 Jun. 1993, SEAS QLD-956; 8, 23°32.16'S 152°17.98'E, 203 m, 16–17 Jun. 1993 SEAS QLD-959; 7, due east of Mooloolaba, 26°36.21'S 153°34.90'E, 116 m, 2–3 Aug. 1994, SEAS QLD-1126. Diagnosis . Interocular furrow : moderately developed, distinct but not extending across the cephalon. Frontal lamina : lateral margins straight, narrowing anteriorly. Antenna : c. 0.3× as long as body, reaching to between the posterior of pereonite 2 and half way along pereonite 3. Coxal plates : furrows strongly developed, on all coxae. Pleonite 4 : apex forming a broad acute point. Pleotelson : broad, length 0.8× basal width; anterodorsal depression present; anterolateral margins convex; posterolateral margins convex; apex produced into a small point; with 8– 12 RS. Pereopods 1–6 : males with conspicuous elongated RS subequal to propodus on the merus of pereopods 1–3 and extending from the carpus to dactylus of pereopods 4– 6. Pereopods 2–3 : propodus without RS on palm. Pereopod 7 : basis of medium breadth (Bruce (1986) describes it and illustrates it (from a topotype male) as relatively narrow. In the syntype female examined here it is broader), width ...
