Deep-sea tanaidaceans (Crustacea : Peracarida) from the Albatross cruises 1885-86 with keys to the suborder Neotanaidomorpha

Previously unidentified tanaidacean material from the US Albatross cruises 1885-86 revealed a number of new species. Most species belonged to the subo rder of Neotanaidomorpha, of which two new species were found. Neotanais ga rdineri n. sp. is described. The species N. insolitus is transferred to the genus Venusticrus. Additional information of previously described species of Neotanais is given. The existence of a cheliped ischium within the Neota naidae is noted. A species list for the new material from the Albatross Exp edition is given as well as complete keys to the females of the suborder Ne otanaidomorpha. Species of the suborder Tanaidomorpha were also found. The new species Collettea wilsoni is described (Family indet). Also found were two undesribed species of Anarthruridae (Anarthrurinae), as well as a large number of Agathotanais ingolfi.
