Description. Entire body densely pubescent. Rostrum with 7–10 (usually 8, excluding epigastric tooth) teeth along dorsal border; distinctly curved upwards and with tip slightly recurved downwards in females, ventral border markedly convex but ventral margin of tip concave, tips of rostral teeth aligned in a concave configuration; in males rostrum rather horizontal straight and tip slightly recurved downwards, ventral border convex but ventral margin of tip concave, tips of rostral teeth more or less aligned in a straight line; extending to about tip of second segment of antennular peduncle; postrostral carina low and extending to about middle of carapace. Pereiopods I to III with well-developed epipods. Pereiopod I generally bearing small ischial spine. Pereiopod IV in females with coxa not medially expanded. Pereiopod V reaching middle to nearly tip of scaphocerite. Abdomen with low dorsal carinae on somites II to VI; that on somite II short but obvious; dorsal carina only present on posterior 2/3 of somite III; carinae on somites IV and V posteriorly incised, not terminating in spines. Telson with dorsolateral carinae heavily ridged but blunt, bearing 3 pairs of movable lateral spines. Male petasma with lateral margins of stem distinctly converging distally; distolateral lobes with ventral margins more or less straight, tips of dorsal and ventral flaps coinciding, forming sharp angle. Female thelycum with anterior plate semi-triangular, generally sunken or flattened; anterior margin of posterior plate distinctly concave, with median cleft.

Coloration. Body generally pinkish brown all over. Eyes blackish brown. Antennular flagella pinkish brown and antennal flagella whitish. Pereiopods pale pink to pale white, with some yellowish patches. Pleopods orangish brown. Uropods reddish brown except basal 1/4 pinkish brown, outer and distal margins of exopods and inner and distal margins of endopod whitish.

Distribution. Southwestern Indian Ocean. Known with certainty from Mozambique, Madagascar and eastern coast of South Africa; at depths of 18– 85 m.

Remarks. Trachysalambria starobogatovi is very poorly known and often overlooked in literature (e.g., Pèrez Farfante & Kensley 1999). Sakaji & Hayashi (2003) followed the original description of T. starobogatovi by Ivanov & Hassan (1976) in treating this species as having epipods only on pereiopods I and III. Re-examination of the holotype of T. starobogatovi reveals that there are actually epipods on the anterior three pereiopods in this species ( Fig. 18 View FIGURE 18 ) and therefore it belongs to the “ Trachysalambria curvirostris ” group. The shape of the genitalia and the posterior incisions of the abdominal dorsal carinae used by Ivanov & Hassan (1976) to separate T. starobogatovi from T. curvirostris are not useful. The petasma and thelycum of T. starobogatovi are both of the general shape of the genus ( Fig. 17 View FIGURE 17 F–J). The posterior incisions on the dorsal carinae of the abdominal somites IV and V in T. starobogatovi are actually not different from congeners that lack posterior spines on these two somites ( Fig. 17 View FIGURE 17 C, D). Nevertheless, T. starobogatovi is unique in the genus by having a short postrostral carina and weak abdominal dorsal carinae ( Fig. 17 View FIGURE 17 D), as well as the tip of rostrum recurved downwards ( Fig. 17 View FIGURE 17 A, B). The short postrostral carina and weak abdominal dorsal carinae of T. starobogatovi aligns it with T. albicoma . The latter species, however, has the rostrum more horizontal and with the tip not recurved downwards in both sexes ( Fig. 16 View FIGURE 16 A, B). In T. albicoma the carinae on the abdomen and telson are even weaker ( Fig. 16 View FIGURE 16 C, H) and with the dorsal carina on the abdominal somite II often indistinct. Moreover, the abdomen is nearly naked in T. albicoma but pubescent in T. starobogatovi . Other than with large genetic divergence (>7% in 12S and 16S rRNA genes, Tables 2, 3), the coloration of these two species is also different. Although both species have white antennal flagella and white margined uropods, the body of T. starobogatovi is generally pinkish including the rostrum ( Fig. 20 View FIGURE 20. A F), while T. albicoma is generally greyish with the tip of rostrum pale white ( Fig. 20 View FIGURE 20. A E).

Trachysalambria starobogatovi is also rather similar to T. palaestinensis but with the abdominal and telson carinae less developed or less sharp ( Fig. 17 View FIGURE 17 K, L). Furthermore, the rostrum is generally less curved and with the tip not recurved downwards in T. palaestinensis . The rostrum having a recurved downward tip in T. starobogatovi ( Fig. 17 View FIGURE 17 A, B) is somewhat similar to the rostrum of T. nansei ( Fig. 10 View FIGURE 10 A, C–G). Nevertheless, the rostrum is not distinctly S-shaped in T. starobogatovi and there are many differences between these two species (e.g., height of abdominal carinae, length of postrostral carina and pereiopod V, etc.). On the other hand, material of the highly variable species, T. aspera , from the western Indian Ocean often has lower abdominal carinae and with the postrostral carina failed to extend to posterior carapace. Although these T. aspera specimens closely resemble T. starobogatovi , they can still be distinguished from the present species by the tip of rostrum not curving downwards ( Fig. 12 View FIGURE 12 A, B, D, E) and having a longer pereiopod V (extending to tip of scaphocerite vs. failed to reach tip of scaphocerite). Genetic analysis confirms that T. starobogatovi is distinct from the other species of the genus (?10% sequence divergence in 12S rRNA gene, Table 2).

At present, T. starobogatovi is only confirmed to occur in the southwestern Indian Ocean from the eastern coast of South Africa to Mozambique and Madagascar. Although previous reports of “ T. curvirostris ” from these areas (e.g., Champion 1973; Kensley 1971; de Freitas 1987) likely represent T. starobogatovi , they do not contain enough information for confirmation. For example, the Mozambique material reported by de Freitas (1987) is clearly not T. curvirostris in having a short postrostral carina and white antennal flagella. However, it cannot be further determined if de Freitas’ (1987) material belongs to T. starobogatovi or T. aspera .
