Abstract
Seychellana expansa new genus, new species, is diagnosed and described from shallow water off the Seychelles Islands, western Indian Ocean. The genus is characterized by the possession of a slender, blade-like frontal lamina, a somewhat reduced pereopod 7, a strongly bipartite ep imeron on pleonite 2, a broadly expanded epimeron on pleonite 3, and a ventrally inserted uropod.
