Abstract

A new deepsea slipper lobster Bathyarctus andamanicus sp. nov. was discovered from the Andaman Sea during a recent "Nansen" survey cruise, a collaboration between the FAO and the Myanmar government. The new species closely resembles Bathyarctus formosanus (Chan and Yu, 1992) but with a distinctly higher dorsal hump at the abdominal somite IV and a much larger blue patch on the abdominal tergite I. The status of the new species is supported by molecular genetic data and B. formosanus is also recorded for the first time from the Philippines. Micro- CT scanned method was used to illustrate the characteristics of B. andamanicus sp. nov. and B. formosanus, with the first construction of a cybertype for the infraorder Achelata Scholtz and Richter, 1995.
