Abstract

A provisional key to the 38 known species of Glyphocrangon is offered and particulars are given of the 14 species recognized from the Philippines and Indonesia, including two new species: G. juxtaculeata from the Banda Sea, Indonesia, and, possibly, the Sulu Sea, Philippines, and G. stenolepis from the South China Sea southeast of Hong Kong and southern Tablas Strait off northwestern Panay, Philippines. The crangonid genus Parapontocaris Alcock, 1901, is reestablished for the more elongate species that nave customarily been assigned to Pontocaris Bate, 1888, and Philocheras Stebbing, 1900, is treated as a genus distinct from Pontophilus Leach, 1817. Keys are included to (1) the six crangonid genera known from the Philippines and Indonesia; (2) the six species of Parapontocaris, including two new Philippine species (P. aspera and P. levigata); (3) the six Philippine-Indonesian species of Philocheras; (4) the seven species of Pontocaris; (5) trie 11 species of Pontophilus, including one new species (P. demani from the Lesser Sunda Islands, Indonesia); (6) the four species of Prionocrangon; and (7) the five species of Sabinea.
