Material examined. Three specimens, one female 177 µm long and two specimens of undetermined gender (132– 171 µm long), collected in coral sand at Cook’s Bay, 0.5–1.0 m depth.
Remarks. This species is known from the Atlantic Ocean ( Faroe Banks), Mediterranean (Adriatic Sea, Ionian Sea, Tyrrhenian Sea), Pacific Ocean ( New Zealand, French Polynesia, Coral Sea, Tasman Sea), and the Red Sea ( Renaud-Mornant 1981; de Zio Grimaldi et al. 1983a, b, 2003; Kristensen & Higgins 1984; D’Addabbo Gallo et al. 1989; Boesgaard & Kristensen 2001; Hansen et al. 2001). Styraconyx kristenseni was originally described from Moorea Island, French Polynesia, by Renaud-Mornant (1981), with additional specimens collected from French Polynesia (Reao and Mururoa Atolls, in the Tuomoto Archipelago, previously identified as Styraconyx sargassi Thulin, 1942 (Renaud-Mornant 1976)) . The subspecies Styraconyx kristenseni neocaledonensis Renaud-Mornant, 1981 was also identified from New Caledonia from specimens previously identified as Styraconyx sargassi ( Renaud-Mornant 1981) . The species is characterized by having peduncles on external claws only and short clavae (measuring less than 50% of cirri A, Table 1 View TABLE 1 ). The two subspecies are distinguished by the leg sense organs: Styraconyx kristenseni neocaledonensis Renaud-Mornant, 1981 , characterized by the presence of minute (just spurs) sense organs on legs I–III from New Caledonia, and Styraconyx kristenseni kristenseni Renaud-Mornant, 1981 , with normally developed spines on legs I–III, from Polynesia. The specimens examined in this study, although having a larger body size, stronger external peduncles and slightly shorter primary clavae/lateral cirri A ratio, otherwise fit the original description of S. kristenseni kristenseni ( Table 1 View TABLE 1 ).
