Abstract

Taylor, J. 2006. A new species of Leongathus from the Tasman Sea collected during the 2003 NORFANZ Expedition (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Phoxocephalidae). Memoirs of Museum Victoria 63(2): 207-213. Leongathus Barnard & Drummond, 1978 is rediagnosed and a new species Leongathus alannah sp. nov. described from the Tasman Sea, collected by the 2003 NORFANZ Expedition. A discussion of the problematic placement of the new species is included in light of the new species exhibiting a combination of characters from Leongathinae and Harpiniinae.
