Acanthosquilla melissae is a species of stomatopod crustacean in the Nannosquillidae family, [2] and was first described by the Australian carcinologist Shane T. Ahyong in 2007. [2] [1]
In Australia it has been found in the IMCRA regions of the Northwest Shelf Province (Western Australia), Northeast Shelf Transition (Queensland), [1] [3] in the sub-tidal zone. [3]
Anaspides is a genus of freshwater crustaceans in the family Anaspidesidae. The genus was first described in 1894 by George Malcolm Thomson. The genus was originally placed in the family, Anaspididae by Thomson, but this genus name was preoccupied by the insect genus, Anaspis Geoffroy, 1762, and therefore, in 2017, the family was renamed Anaspidesidae by Shane Ahyong and Miguel A. Alonso-Zarazaga.
Squillidae is a family of mantis shrimp, the only family in the superfamily Squilloidea. The type genus is Squilla. It is the stomatopod family with the most genera, as follows:
Eurysquillidae is a family of mantis shrimp. Formerly placed in the superfamily Gonodactyloidea, it has since been recognised that eurysquillids are closer to families in the Squilloidea, and so Eurysquillidae has been placed in its own superfamily, Eurysquilloidea. The family was first described in 1977 by Raymond Manning.
Tetrasquilla is a genus of mantis shrimp containing a single species, Tetrasquilla mccullochae. It is the only known pantropical stomatopod. The specific epithet commemorates Dr. Irene A. McCulloch, professor of zoology of the University of Southern California.
Gonodactylellus is a genus of mantis shrimp. The genus was first described by Raymond Manning in 1995.
Garymunida procera is a species of squat lobster in the family Munididae, and was first described by Shane Ahyong and Gary Poore in 2004. The specific name is derived from procerus, a Latin word meaning "slender", which is in reference to its slender cheliped that distinguish it from the similar Agononida soelae. The females measure from 14.3 to 21.4 millimetres. It is found off of Eastern Australia and New Caledonia and near the Lord Howe Rise, where it is found at depths from 450 to 960 metres.
Acanthosquilla is a genus of stomatopod crustacean. The American carcinologist Raymond B. Manning named and first circumscribed the genus in 1963. As of 2018, the World Register of Marine Species recognizes the following eight species:
Acanthosquilla derijardi is a species of stomatopod crustacean. Its distribution is widespread throughout the Indo-West Pacific. The species was initially described by the American carcinologist Raymond B. Manning in 1970. Its junior synonym, A. sirindhorn, was named in 1995 in honor of Princess Sirindhorn of Thailand.
Erugosquilla is a genus of crustaceans belonging to the family Squillidae. The genus was first described in 1995 by Raymond Brendan Manning. The type species is Erugosquilla massavensis(Kossmann, 1880).
Erugosquilla septemdentata is a species of shrimp in the family, Squillidae, and was first described in 1994 by Shane T. Ahyong as Oratosquilla septemdentata. The name was revised to Erugosquilla septemdentata in 1995 by Raymond B. Manning.
Shane Timothy Ahyong is an Australian zoologist specialising in marine invertebrates. Since 2010 he has worked as a senior principal research scientist at the Australian Museum. Following his Ph.D. he worked as a post-doctoral researcher at the Australian Museum and in 2006 left to manage Marine Biodiversity and Biosecurity Group and Marine Invasives Taxonomic Service within the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research in New Zealand.
Acanthosquilla crosnieri is a species of stomatopod crustacean in the Nannosquillidae family. It has been found in waters off the Marquesas, at depths of 0 - 100 m but more usually at 7 - 25 m, and was first described by the Australian carcinologist Shane T. Ahyong in 2002.
Alima neptuni is a species of shrimp in the Squillidae family, and was first described in 1768 by Carl Linnaeus as Cancer neptuni.
Alima pacifica is a species of shrimp in the Squillidae family, and was first described in 2001 by Shane Ahyong.
Alima maxima is a species of shrimp in the Squillidae family, and was first described in 2002 by Shane Ahyong.
Athanas sydneyensis is a species of small alpheid shrimp.
Anaspides clarkei is a species of freshwater crustacean in the family Anaspidesidae, and was first described in 2015 by Shane Ahyong
Anaspides jarmani is a species of freshwater crustacean in the family Anaspidesidae, and was first described in 2015 by Shane Ahyong
Anaspides swaini is a species of freshwater crustacean in the family Anaspidesidae, and was first described in 2015 by Shane Ahyong
Anaspides driesseni is a species of freshwater crustacean in the family Anaspidesidae, and was first described in 2023 by Christoph Höpel, Stefan Richter & Shane Ahyong. In 2016 Ahyong discussed three morphologically different forms of A. swaini occurring in three different drainage systems.
