Abstract
Abstract A new species of Disciadidae Rathbun, 1902, representing the first recorded observation of this caridean family from the South China Sea, is here described and illustrated from nearshore waters off Jinqing Island, in the Xisha Islands. The new species, Discias nanhaiensis sp. nov., is likely associated with a calcareous sponge species, Leucaltis sp. It is characterized by a lanceolate rostrum with serrated margins, a dorsomedial posterior tooth on the second pleomere, an unarticulated mandibular palp, non-serrate lateral margin of the uropodal exopod, and distal margin of telson with four pairs of spines, and these combined features may distinguish the new species from its congeners. An identification key to all Discias species is provided. http://urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:0645B1F0-C9E4-4F30-8593-2C062CBC988B
期刊介绍：
The European Zoological Journal (previously Italian Journal of Zoology) is an open access journal devoted to the study of all aspects of basic, comparative and applied protozoan and animal biology at molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, organismal, population, and community-ecosystem level. Papers covering multiple levels of organization and integrative approaches to study animal form, function, development, ecology, evolution and systematics are welcome. First established in 1930 under the name of Il Bollettino di Zoologia, the journal now has an international focus, reflected through its global editorial board, and wide author and readership.
