Description

Paralophogaster boucheti Casanova, 1993

Records from Indonesia. The northern part of Tojandu Island, between Kei Kecil and Kei Besar Islands, and in Arafura Sea. Depth range: 146–389 m (Casanova 1996).

Remarks. This species is included in the Sanzoi-group of Paralophogaster, in which the lateral robust setae on the telson are not very long and never reach the apical spines. Paralophogaster boucheti can be recognized by its antennal sympod armed with a short sharp spine. The lateral margin of the telson is armed with 9–13 pairs of robust setae, the most posterior seta being the strongest. The apical plate is armed with 5 spinules and 4 long bristles (Casanova 1993).
