Articullichirus, a new genus of ghost shrimp (Crustacea: Axiidea: Callichiridae) with one new species

Abstract

Articullichirus gen. nov., close to Corallianassa Manning, 1987 and Calliapagurops de Saint Laurent, 1973, is diagnosed to include Callianassa articulata Rathbun, 1906 from Hawaii and French Polynesia, Callianassa collaroy Poore and Griffin, 1979 from southern Australia and Articullichirus chiltoni sp. nov. from northern New Zealand. Previous records of the two described species from the Indo-West Pacific are reassigned.
