Abstract

New material described recently permits the separation of six upogebiid species into the new genus Austinogebia, for which the diagnostic characters and a key are presented. The new taxon is compared to its close relative, Gebiacantha Ngoc-Ho, 1989, and the opportunity is taken to rediagnose the latter.

‘Teeth’:

refers to structures mainly rounded at base, with a blunt tip which is sometimes corneous. These are found on the upper parts of the rostrum, the carapace and the lateral ridges of the gastric region

‘Spines’:

refer to structures often not rounded at base with a pointed, non-corneous tip

‘Upper’ and ‘lower’:

considered as equivalent to ‘dorsal’ and ‘ventral’, respectively, are used where they seem more appropriate, especially in the description of appendages
