Iphimedia poorei, a new species of Iphimediidae (Crustacea, Amphipoda) from the New South Wales Australian coast

Abstract

The new species Iphimedia poorei is described and illustrated in detail. It differs very much from all known species of the genus by its numerous, extravagant dorsal processes, stout spines on all coxal plates, cuspidate basis and the drawn out, pointed merus on each of pereopods 5-7.
