Material examined.– Australia. Queen

various locations, 0–7 m, N.L. Bruce,
Dec 1979 QM W8757 (5 juveniles);

Distribution: Australia, Western
Australia (Houtman Abrolhos Is);
Queensland, southern Great Barrier
Reef (Heron I.); New Caledonia; coral
rubble, 0–30 m depth.
Remarks: This species is clearly
very different from Coralanthura
endeavourae , a genus and species
described in the same paper by Poore &
Kensley (1981). Their only similarities
are quite superficial; mouthparts, pere
opods and pleopods are quite different
( Kensley & Poore, 1982).
The species is most similar to E.
amstelodami from which it differs in
shorter endopod of pleopod 1, narrower
telson and broader propodi on pereo
pods 1 and 2. New material enables the
habitus and male pleopods 1 and 2 to be
figured for the first time, and flagellum
of antenna 1 to be drawn more accu
rately than in the original description. FIGURE 15. Expanathura ardea (Poore & Ken New material extends the distribution sley, 1981). Juvenile, 4.1 mm, QM W16292. Pleopods 1, 2 from male, 3.0 mm, QM W16292.
