| Abstract |
Lophogaster muranoi, a new species, is described from the coastalwaters of Argentina. This new species is characterized by the medium-sizedmedian rostral spine extending slightly beyond the apex of the antennular lobe, the presence of a pair of the postorbital spines on the carapace, and the telson armed with 4 pairs of lateral spines and a narrow apical median plate. This is the third species of the genus Lophogaster from the South Atlantic Ocean. |
