Abstract
Raysquilla manningi represents a new genus and species of eurysquillid stom atopod from the Australian Northwest Shelf. Raysquilla manningi is most clo sely related to species of Eurysquilla and Sinosquilla but is unique within the family because it lacks spines or spinules on the dorsal surface and p osterior margin of the sixth abdominal somite and has the outer spine of ur opodal protopod longer than the inner. A key to the genera of the Eurysquil lidae is included.
