I. Petrescu et Rw. Heard, Normjonesia danieli, a new genus and species of nannastacid cumacean (Malacostraca : Peracarida) from the Southwest Florida continental shelf, J CRUS BIOL, 21(2), 2001, pp. 469-474
The nannastacid cumacean, Normjonesia danieli, n. g., n. sp., is described
from a depth of 88 m on the Southwest Florida shelf in the southeastern Gul
f of Mexico. The new genus appears to have its closest affinities with Camp
ylaspis Sars and Cubanocuma Bacescu and Muradian, also known from the shall
ow waters of the Caribbean Sea. A combination of characters, including: (1)
the apparent lack of terminal aesthetes on antenna 1; (2) the absence of e
xopods on the female; (3) the presence of 5 pairs of exopods on the male; a
nd (4) the presence of long terminal setae on the third maxilliped, disting
uishes Normjonesia from the other known genera of the family Nannastacidae.
