| Abstract |
Species of the Ochlesidae sensu stricto are revised. Based on new material from inshore and continental-shelf Australian marine habitats five
new species are described: Meraldia birgeri n. sp., M. madeleinae n. sp., M. yorki n. sp., Ochlesis caroleoninae n. sp., and O. morgani n. sp.
As these new species show remarkable sexual dimorphism, both sexes are described and fully illustrated. The world species are diagnosed,
and a key to all species is provided. |
