New and little-known podoceridae (Peracarida: Amphipoda) of Southern Australia

Abstract

Thirteen taxa in the family Podoceridae are documented for southern Australia, including five new species, three new records and five redescriptions. The redescription of Cyrtophium minutum Dana, 1852; Podocerus dentatus (Haswell, 1879); Podocerus hystrix Stebbing, 1910; Podocerus inconspicuus (Stebbing, 1888) and Podocerus lobatus (Haswell, 1885) helps clarify existing knowledge of these old taxa. © Australian Museum, Sydney, 2012.
