TL;DR: A poorly known thorid shrimp, Lebbeus longidactylus (Kobjakova, 1936), is redescribed on the basis of material collected from the Nemuro Strait, southwestern part of the Sea of Okhotsk, at depths of 600-800 m.
Abstract: A poorly known thorid shrimp, Lebbeus longidactylus (Kobjakova, 1936), is redescribed on the basis of material collected from the Nemuro Strait, southwestern part of the Sea of Okhotsk, at depths of 600–800 m. The newly collected samples represent the second finding of this rarely collected species since the type description. The species belongs to the informal species group characterized by the possession of epipods on maxilliped 3 to pereopod 2, and appears close to L. scrippsi Wicksten & Mendez, 1982, known from the eastern Pacific, in that the slender dactyli of pereopods 3–5 each terminate in a simple, non-biunguiculate tip and by having accessory spiniform setae restricted to the proximal half of the flexor margin. The elongate rostrum with more numerous dorsal spines, more numerous dorsolateral spiniform setae on the telson, and a single spine on the dorsodistal margin of article 1 of the antennular peduncle readily differentiate L. longidactylus from L. scrippsi .

TL;DR: The new species is the deepest dwelling representative of the genus Lebbeus and the family Thoridae and is separated by minor morphological features, such as the armature of the rostrum and telson, meral spinulation of ambulatory pereiopods and the shape of the pleonal pleurae.
Abstract: Lebbeus sokhobio sp. nov. is described from abyssal depths (3303−3366 m) in the Kuril Basin of the Sea of Okhotsk. The related congeners are deep-water dwellers with a very distant distribution and very similar morphology. The new species is separated by minor morphological features, such as the armature of the rostrum and telson, meral spinulation of ambulatory pereiopods and the shape of the pleonal pleurae. This species is the deepest dwelling representative of the genus Lebbeus and the family Thoridae. A list of records of caridean shrimps recorded from abyssal depths below 3000 m is given.

TL;DR: Twenty-six specimens representing 2 genera, Alvinocaris of the family Bresiliidae and Lebbeus of the Hippolytidae, were found in samples collected from hydrothermal fields in the Okinawa Trough, Japan, and are described as new species.
Abstract: Twenty-six specimens representing 2 genera, Alvinocaris of the family Bresiliidae and Lebbeus of the Hippolytidae, were found in samples collected from hydrothermal fields in the Okinawa Trough, Japan. Twenty-one specimens are described as Alvinocaris longirostris, new species, and the remaining 5 are redescribed as a very rare bathyal shrimp, Lebbeus washingtonianus (Rathbun, 1902).

TL;DR: Three species and new records of caridean shrimps are recorded from New Zealand, exemplified by three species of Leontocaris, Merhippolyte chacei and Alainopasiphaea australis, respectively, which were each previously known only from southern Australia.
Abstract: New species and new records of caridean shrimps are recorded from New Zealand. The hippolytid genera Leontocaris and Merhippolyte, and pasiphaeid genus Alainopasiphaea are reported for the first time from New Zealand waters, exemplified by three species of Leontocaris, Merhippolyte chacei and Alainopasiphaea australis, respectively. The three species of Leontocaris, M. chacei and A. australis were each previously known only from southern Australia. A new species of Lebbeus, the second to be recorded from New Zealand, is described. Lysmata vittata is recorded for the first time from New Zealand.

TL;DR: A taxonomic report on deep-water dendrobranchiate and caridean shrimps and polychelid lobsters from northern Japan, mainly from northeastern Honshu (Aomori Prefecture to Ibaraki Prefecture), is present- ed.
Abstract: A taxonomic report on deep-water dendrobranchiate and caridean shrimps and polychelid lobsters from northern Japan, mainly from northeastern Honshu (Aomori Prefecture to Ibaraki Prefecture), is present- ed. The collection consists of 64 species, belonging to 12 families. Two new species, Metacrangon cornuta sp. nov. (Caridea: Crangonidae) and Lebbeus similior sp. nov. (Caridea: Hippolytidae), are described and illus- trated. Furthermore, the crangonid genus Neocrangon Zarenkov is rediagnosed and briefl y reviewed. The va- lidity of the hippolytid, Spirontocaris brevidigitata Kobjakova, is confi rmed, and a brief review on this species is given. A detailed description accompanied with fi gures is presented for the little known hippolytid Eualus townsendi (Rathbun). Zoogeographically, the benthic fauna is divided into four major categories: those species having a widespread distribution in the northern part of the North Pacifi c, sometimes extending to the north- west coast of North America (16 species); those restricted to cold waters in East Asia (15 species); those re- stricted to temperate waters in East Asia, including Japanese Archipelago endemics (six species); and those widely distributed in the tropical Indo-West Pacifi c (12 species). The meso- and bathypelagic fauna is com- posed of two major groups: species widely distributed in the tropics of the Indo-Pacifi c and/or Atlantic Ocean (15 species); and species distributed in cold waters of the North Pacifi c Ocean (four species).
