Abstract
A poorly known callianassid ghost shrimp species, Praedatrypaea modesta (De Man, 1905), is redescribed and illustrated based on new material recently collected off the south coast of Hainan Island, northern continental shelf of the South China Sea. Genetic data were obtained and compared with other six congeners. With the inclusion of this species, the monophyly of Praedatrypaea Poore, Dworschak, Robles, Mantelatto & Felder, 2019 is reevaluated. The inferred phylogenetic trees, based on two matrices (4-gene and 21-gene), both support the monophyly of this genus and its placement as sister taxon to all other genera of Callianassidae Dana, 1852.
期刊介绍:
Zootaxa is a peer-reviewed international journal for rapid publication of high quality papers on any aspect of systematic zoology, with a preference for large taxonomic works such as monographs and revisions. Zootaxa considers papers on all animal taxa, both living and fossil, and especially encourages descriptions of new taxa. All types of taxonomic papers are considered, including theories and methods of systematics and phylogeny, taxonomic monographs, revisions and reviews, catalogues/checklists, biographies and bibliographies, identification guides, analysis of characters, phylogenetic relationships and zoogeographical patterns of distribution, descriptions of taxa, and nomenclature. Open access publishing option is strongly encouraged for authors with research grants and other funds. For those without grants/funds, all accepted manuscripts will be published but access is secured for subscribers only.
