GLYPHOCRANGON-FIMBRIATA, A NEW SPECIES OF CARIDEAN SHRIMP (CRUSTACEA, DECAPODA, GLYPHOCRANGONIDAE) FROM SIO-GUYOT, MID-PACIFIC MOUNTAINS

A new species of caridean shrimp, Glyphocrangon fimbriata, is described and figured on the basis of one female and one male specimen collected from Sio Guyot, Mid-Pacific Mountains, at depths of 1300-1312 m. The species resembles G. sicaria Faxon, 1893, and G. vicaria Faxon, 1896, but differs from them in the anterior second (lateral) carina being anteriorly produced as a large tooth, and the dactyls of the posterior three pairs of pereopods bearing a setal fringe on the distal part. The discovery of the new species confirms the existence of glyphocrangonid shrimp in the northern hemisphere of the Mid-Pacific.
