For all specimens, data same as holotype.</p> <p>Description</p> <p>Body (figure 2a) somewhat fragile.</p> <p>Carapace (figure 2a, b) with anterior margin obtusely produced into wide, subtriangular rostrum; cervical groove distinct at anterior two-fifths; posterior margin excavate, leaving last thoracic somite uncovered in dorsal view, but sufficiently covered laterally: anteroventral corner rounded.</p> <p>Eye (figure 2b, d) slightly depressed, subquadrate in dorsal aspect; cornea slightly diminished in size, situated in anterolateral part; sharp spiniform process present at anteromesial corner of stalk. Antennule (figure 2e) with first segment of peduncle subequal in length to the third segment, distolateral corner greatly produced anteriorly, distal end bearing a few setae, distomesial corner with one seta; second segment shortest, obliquely articulated with third segment, mesial margin with one seta each at mid-length and distal corner; third segment rather massive, with a few sensory setae distoventrally. Antenna (figure 2f) with long, elliptical scale, extending beyond anterior end of antennular peduncle by onequarter of its length, latter more than six times as long as wide, without suture separating distal lobe, setose all around margin.</p> <p>Labrum (figure 2g) triangular, without anteromedial process or spine. Mouthparts as illustrated (figure 3a–e).</p> <p>Third thoracopod (figure 3f) similar to posterior thoracopods and endopod not modified, but with simple termination; dactylus short, apex with long claw and a few setae; carpopropodus constituting three articles, basal segment subequal in length to distal two segments combined; merus slightly shorter than carpopropodus; ischium subequal to length of merus. Endopod of fourth thoracopod (figure 3g) with dactylus short, bearing long terminal claw and a few setae; carpopropodus consisting of four articles, basal article longest, second article subequal in length to third, and fourth one shortest; merus and ischium subequal in length: exopod composed of about 10 articles distal to basal plate.</p> <p>Penis (figure 3h) long, fully reaching second thoracopod, apex without seta.</p> <p>Abdomen without spine, hair or groove; first five somites subequal in length; sixth somite 1.33–1.63 (average: 1.51) times as long as fifth somite. Telson (figure 2c) as long as or slightly longer than sixth abdominal somite, about 1.8 times as long as basal width, rather abruptly narrowing at basal one-fifth, then width steadily decreasing distally; posterior margin nearly truncate, with two pairs of spines, lateral pair about 1.5 times longer than mesial pair; lateral margin with four or five spines subequal in length on distal half and basally unarmed.</p> <p>Pleopods (figure 3i–k) all rudimentary, single lobes, in both sexes; fifth pleopod longest, about twice length of fourth.</p> <p>Uropod (figure 2h) extending well beyond edge of telson; exopod subequal in length to endopod, subrectangular; endopod slightly narrowing distally, without spines near statocyst region or along mesial margin.</p> <p>Egg size</p> <p>Stage III embryos (in preserved specimen) measured 0.9 mm across the anterior end to the tip of the telson.</p> <p>Etymology</p> <p>The specific name ‘ stenoura ’ is derived from the Greek, ‘ stenos ’ (~narrow) and ‘ oura ’ (~tail), with reference to the distally narrow telson, as compared with similar species.</p> <p>Habitat</p> <p>For details of environmental characteristics of the sampling site, see Ohtsuka et al. (2002).</p> <p>Remarks</p> <p>Heteromysoides stenoura exhibits closest similarity to H. simplex, from submarine caves of Okinawa, south-western Japan, because both species have a spiniform process on the eyes and a simple termination to the endopod of the third thoracopod. However, the new species has the distal part of the telson much narrower than in its Pacific congener. Moreover, the eyes of the new species have a more developed cornea (ommatidia numerous versus about 20; for H. simplex, see Hanamura and Kase, 2001).</p> <p>A simple termination to the third thoracic endopod of the present new species is also shared with Heteromysoides nana Murano, 1998, recorded from shallow water of northern Australia, but the Australian species does not bear the ocular process on the eyes.</p> <p>Heteromysoides dennisi Bowman, 1985, from a submarine cave on Grand Bahamas Island, has an ocular process on the eyes, but the third thoracic endopod of this species possesses an entire carpopropodus with a subserrate termination.</p> <p>Distribution Known only from the type locality, at depths from 9 to 11 m.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A45049FFA67E26FE14ACD233ECACFB	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
