Keys for the determination of seven families, and 56 genera of Penaeoidean and Sergestoidcan shrimps are
provided, along with diagnoses of these taxa. The Penaeoidean families are: Aristeidae, Benthesicymidae, Penaeidae,
Sicyoniidae, and Solenoceridae; the Sergestoidean families are: Luciferidae and Sergestidae. Three new genera are
diagnosed: Austropenaeus gen. nov. (family Aristeidae), Megokris gen. nov. and Rimapenaeus gen. nov. (family
Penaeidae). Pelagopenaeus, (family Penaeidae), a name originally proposed by Burkenroad (1934), is given
nomenclatural availability. The earlier names Aristaeopsis Wood-Mason, 1891 (family Aristeidae) and
Trachysalambria Burkenroad, 1934 (family Penaeidae) are resurrected. The subgenera Farfantepenaeus ,
Fenneropenaeus, Litopenaeus , Marsupenaeus, and Melicertus are raised to full genera. In addition to diagnoses for
the families and genera, a section on synonymy for each taxon includes references that have contributed to our
understanding of the taxa. For each genus, a list of its currently recognized species and subspecies, along with
author and date of publication, and distributional records is given. These lists include about 500 species. A
reference is provided in the bibliography for every author and date mentioned in the text. An illustrated glossary
explains the terms used in the diagnoses. At least one species of each genus (often the type species) is illustrated,
along with figures of diagnostic features such as the petasma, thelycum, and seminal receptacles.

EXTENDED ABSTRACT
RESUME DEVELOPPE
This work presents a study of the taxon¬
omy of the penaeidean shrimps of the world.
This group of shrimps includes many of the
commercially important marine species of the
tropics and subtropics, as well as many of the
species that constitute a major link in the food
chain of the oceans. The Penaeidea are made
up of two superfamilies, the Penaeoidea
(families Aristeidae, Benthesicymidae,
Penaeidae, Sicyoniidae, and Solenoceridae),
and the Sergestoidea (families Luciferidae and
Sergestidae). The genera in each of these
families are listed in the table of the page 12.
Keys and diagnoses are provided for these
two superfamilies and seven families, and for
their 56 genera. For each of these genera, a
synonymy, the type species, its type locality,
and gender are given, along with a diagnosis,
branchial formula, and a list of the species in¬
cluded in the genus. References are included
in the synonymy if the work referred to con¬
tributes to an understanding of the diagnosis
of the genus, or includes records that signifi¬
cantly extend the geographical range of the
constituent species. The species and sub¬
species list of almost 500 names includes the
author and date, and geographical records.
Each genus is illustrated with a lateral view of
a whole animal (usually the type species),
petasma, thelycum, and seminal receptacles,
structures which exhibit important diagnostic
characters. Features used in the diagnoses are
defined in a glossary; some of these are also
illustrated. All references giving both author
and date in the text are provided in full in the
bibliography.
Three new genera are diagnosed:
Austropenaeus (family Aristeidae), Megokris
and Rimapenaeus (family Penaeidae).
Austropenaeus, with its type and only species
A. nitidus Barnard, 1947 (previously placed
in Plesiopenaeus) is characterized by having
a reduced podobranch on the third pereopod,
a modified ventral antennular flagellum ami

sont proposees pour ces deux superfamilies,
ces sept families et les 56 genres qui s'y trou-
vent. Pour chacun des genres, les syno-
nymes, l'espece-type, la localite-type et le
genre grammatical sont indiques, avec en
outre une diagnose, la formule branchiale et
une liste des especes comprises dans le genre.
Les references bibliographiques correspon¬
dent a des travaux qui, soit permettent une
meilleure comprehension du genre, soit indi-

maniere significative la repartition de certaines
des especes du genre. Les especes et sous-
especes citees sont pres de 500; pour chacune
sont indiques son auteur, la date de sa
description et sa repartition geographique.
Chaque genre est illustre par la vue laterale
d'une crevette entiere (habituellement
l'espece-type), le petasma, le thelycum et,
souvent, les receptacle seminaux, structures
qui fournissent des caracteres d'identification
importants. Les caracteres utilises dans les
diagnoses sont definis dans un glossaire et
beaucoup sont illustres. Toutes les references
mentionnees dans le texte sont citees in ex-
tenso a la fin du volume.

modified third maxilliped in the male, and
feebly developed carapace carinae. Megokris
is separated from Trachypenaeus s.l., and is
characterized by features of the thelycum, by
the seminal receptacles being connected
neither by a transverse groove nor by a
median pocket, and by the features of the
petasma. Rimapenaeus is also part of the
complex of genera previously known as
Trachypenaeus s.l., and is characterized by
features of the thelycum and especially of the
internal trilobed seminal receptacles, and by
the characters of the petasma.
Pelagopenaeus (family Penaeidae) a name
originally proposed by Burkenroad (1934),
but not valid, no type species having been
designated, is given nomenclatorial validity.
The generic names Aristaeopsis Wood-
Mason, 1891, and Trachysalambria Burken¬
road, 1934, are resurrected. The former, with
its type and only species A. edwardsiana, is
characterized by the absence of exopods on
the first to fifth pereopods, the presence of a
rounded middorsal carina on the second
abdominal somite, a sharp middorsal carina
on the third abdominal somite, a modified
antennal scaphocerite in the male, and by the
absence of a distal meral spine on the first and
second pereopods. Trachysalambria, one of
the complex of genera formerly under
Trachypenaeus s.l., is characterized by the
features of the thelycum and petasma, in
having bilobed seminal receptacles opening
into a common groove, and in having a short
longitudinal suture on the carapace.
Five subgenera of Penaeus are raised to
generic level, namely Farfantepenaeus,
Fenneropenaeus, Litopenaeus, Marsupenaeus
and Melicertus.
Aristeidae, les deux autres, Megokris et
Rimapenaeus, a la famille Penaeidae.
Austropenaeus, qui ne comprend actuelle-

Barnard, 1947 (precedemment placee dans le
genre Plesiopenaeus) se caracterise par une
podobranchie de taille reduite sur les
troisiemes pereiopodes, un flagelle anten-
nulaire ventral et des troisiemes maxillipedes
modifies chez le male, des carenes faiblement
marquees sur la carapace. Megokris se separe
des Trachypenaeus s.l. et s'en distingue par
certains caracteres du thelycum, les recep¬
tacles seminaux qui ne sont connectes entre
eux ni par un sillon transversal ni par une
poche mediane, et les caracteres du petasma.
Rimapenaeus fait egalement partie du
complexe Trachypenaeus s. 1. et se distingue
par la disposition du thelycum, des
receptacles seminaux trilobes et les caracteres
du petasma.

Burkenroad en 1934 mais qui n’etait pas va-
lide aucune espece-type n’ayant ete designee,
est valide.
Les genres Aristaeopsis Wood Mason,
1891, et Trachysalambria Burkenroad, 1934,
sont ressuscites. Le premier, avec pour
unique espece A. edwardsiana, se caracterise
par l'absence d’exopodes sur les cinq paires
de pereiopodes, la presence d'une carene
dorsale arrondie sur le deuxieme segment
abdominal, aigue sur le troisieme, un scapho¬
cerite modifie chez le male, et l'absence d'une

INTRODUCTION
Crustaceans including shrimps of various kinds have probably been a source of food for
humans from very early times. Within historical times reference is made to shrimps in ancient
Chinese and Japanese literature. The earliest known published description and figure of a penaeid
shrimp in Western literature is that of Melicertus kerathurus, referred to by Guillaume Rondelet
in his Libri de Piscibus Marinis of 1554 as "Squilla Crangone" (Holthuis, in litt. 1996). In more
modern scientific literature, the species now known as the American white shrimp, Litopenaeus
setiferus, was referred to by Seba (1759) as Astacus fluviatilis Americanus, and shortly
thereafter, as Cancer setiferus by Linnaeus (1767). By 1814, the Penaeoidea had been
recognized as a taxonomic grouping by Rafinesque-Schmaltz. Since then, the literature on many
aspects of the systematics and biology of this assemblage has grown enormously, not least
because of the economic importance of many of the constituent species (see Dall et al. , 1990, for
an extended taxonomic history of the Penaeoidea).
The term Dendrobranchiata, coined by Bate (1888) to distinguish a group of crustaceans from
the Trichobranchiata and the Phyllobranchiata, originally included the Normalia (Penaeidae and
Sergestidae) and the Aberrantia (Euphausiacea and Mysidacea). This division was based on
Bate's interpretation of gill structure.
In the present-day conception of the Dendrobranchiata, seven families, 56 genera, and some
500 described species are recognized. Two families, the Penaeidae and Sicyoniidae, contain
many of the shrimp species caught commercially in the tropics and subtropics around the world.
The commercial shrimp catch for the United States alone in 1996 was valued at almost
$463 million, representing about 14% of the total commercial fisheries catch, while the shrimp
imports for the same year totalled $2.5 billion. For several countries, shrimp exports constitute a
major source of foreign currency income. Given this economic significance, and the fact that
penaeoideans occur in a wide variety of shallow-water marine and estuarine habitats, knowledge
of the ecology, feeding, reproduction, life cycles, population dynamics, predation, and fisheries
potential has vastly increased over the last three decades. In the Gulf of Mexico, penaeidean
shrimps play an important role as the prey species for a variety of commercial fish species such
as Atlantic croaker, silver perch, southern flounder, sand seatrout, spotted seatrout, and
lizardfish (Minello and Zimmerman, 1984; Minello et al, 1989: 13; $heridan et al, 1984).
Further, the commercial aquaculture production of a range of species has given an added impetus
to research into these organisms. A thorough knowledge of the systematics of these shrimps is
clearly an essential prerequisite for wise management and exploitation, and for placing the great
body of biological knowledge in context.
As with many invertebrate groups, the morphology of the external and internal reproductive
structures plays a fundamental role in interpreting the systematics of the Dendrobranchiata. This
aspect of the biology of the group has received considerable attention, given the central role of
reproduction in our understanding of fecundity, life histories, and exploitation of the group. Our
own studies have led us to reinterpret especially thelycal structures, and in particular those of the
seminal receptacles, a number of which had not previously been identified and which are
described herein for the first time. Close attention to these latter structures has shown many
earlier works to have erred in inteipreting the nature of an 'open' and a 'closed' thelycum. The
importance of these structures in the evolutionary success of the group has thus led us to pay
16
ISABEL PEREZ FARFANTE & BRIAN KENSLEY
particular attention to the characters to be found in the reproductive morphology. Brief notes on
the spermatophores of a number of genera are given. These structures, although having a similar
basic pattern for each genus, may exhibit variation among congeneric species, as, for example, in
the species of Litopenaeus (Perez Farfante, 1975).
The three predominantly deepwater families, the Aristeidae, Benthesicymidae, and Sergestidae
contain species that are either deep benthic dwellers or are members of the meso- and
bathypelagic fauna of the oceans. Given their often great abundance in the water column, these
forms play a major role in the food chain of the oceans, many being active predators, and in turn
are the prey of many predatory fishes such as the various species of tuna (Dragovich, 1969).
The species of the seventh family, the Luciferidae, are true planktonic forms. The relationship
of this family to the rest of the Dendrobranchiata, however, is unclear, and is based on traditional
usage rather than shared advanced characters.
In spite of the importance of the shallow and deepwater Dendrobranchiata, the taxonomy of
the group has been unusually fluid and sometimes confused, with some genera poorly defined.
This is particularly the case for several genera having their greatest diversity in the Indo-West
Pacific region, e.g. Parapenaeopsis, for which no modern revision is available. Milestones of
taxonomic significance for the penaeideans include the works of Bate (1888), Kubo (1949),
Burkenroad (1934a, 1934b, 1983), Yaldwyn (1957), Perez Farfante (1969, 1977a, 1980a,
1985), Crosnier (1978, 1985, 1987, 1989, 1991, 1994a), and Dall etal. (1990), and those of
Heldt (1938a, 1938b) and Hudinaga (1942) on reproduction. Given this plethora of sources,
we were prompted to draw together all relevant taxonomic works on the dendrobranchiates, and
to add some of our own observations and data, to produce a single comprehensive reference that
would serve as a basic tool in the systematics of the group. In this task we were inspired by the
works of Holthuis (1955a, 1993) on the Caridea, whose summations of taxonomic knowledge
have proved to be indispensible in understanding that other large group of shrimps.
We have not considered the fossil history of the dendrobranchiates in this work. The poor
quality of the available fossils, and their dubious taxonomy (often linked to modern taxa with no
basis in real shared characters), pursuaded us that the paleontological evidence added little to our
understanding of the extant forms.
As for larval forms, many of which have formal generic and specific designations but which
have not been linked to adult forms, we decided not to deal with these (unless the adult
connection has been made, in which case any taxonomic implications are of course taken into
consideration), again because their uncertain systematic position would add little to our
understanding of the adult systematics.
Notes on the Format of the Text and Illustrations
Superfamilies, families, genera within families, and lists of species are arranged alphabetically
for ease of use. For convenience of usage, extended synonymies giving abbreviated journal titles
are provided; the abbreviations for journals used are those of the World List of Scientific
Periodicals (Brown and Stratton, 1963). Abbreviations for non-journal references are of our
own devising, and are used consistently throughout. References are included that contribute to
the definition of a taxon; mere mention of the taxon or of a geographic record did not warrant
inclusion in the synonymy.
In the descriptions, the middorsal armature of the rostrum and carapace are consistently
referred to as teeth, not spines, in spite of the confusion over the use of these two terms. Where
carapace length is given, as in the legends to figures, this is measured from the orbital margin to
the mid-dorsal posterior margin of the carapace. The fourteen thoracic somites, and especially the
posterior four, are referred to by Roman numerals, a tradition that has been in use for more than
60 years.

FAMILIES AND GENERA OF THE PENAEOID AND SERGESTOID SHRIMPS
17
For the list of species given for each genus, every attempt has been made to survey all relevant
taxonomic literature. Nevertheless, there may well be species missing from the list, and
synonyms amongst the cited names, especially in the larger genera that have not recently been
revised.
In the geographical distribution for species, some new records have been included, most
representing significant range extensions, from either the National Museum of Natural History or
other collections; these are not indicated separately as new records. Geographic records are
generally given from west to east, starting with the Eastern Pacific Ocean.
Illustrations for each genus include a lateral view of the whole animal of a representative
species (wherever possible of the type species), as well as the female thelycum and the male
petasma. In a few cases, additional illustrations of important diagnostic features are included. The
figures illustrating the seminal receptacles, most of which include the openings for the entrance
and exit of the sperm, were drawn from specimens that had been cleared and stained in hot lactic
acid and chlorozol black (see Monod and Cals, 1970, for this technique).
In addition to giving full references in the Literature Cited section for all citations in the
synonymies, wherever a taxon with author and date is given, a full reference has been provided,
as is fitting in a work intended to be used as a taxonomic resource.
Abbreviations
cl - carapace length, tl - total length.
Abbreviations used in the branchial formula tables: r - reduced; s - small; v - vestigial;
lam - branchial lamella.

Fenner A.Chace, Jr., the late Horton H. Hobbs, Jr., Raymond B. Manning, and from
Austin B. Williams of the Systematics Laboratory of the National Marine Fisheries Service, at
the Smithsonian Institution. All of these contributed valuable discussions on points of
systematics, the interpretation of features, and the clear expression of concepts. Ray Bauer of the
University of Southwestern Louisiana, and Alain Crosnier of the Paris Museum were unstinting
in sharing ideas, reading drafts of sections of this work, and pointing out missed references.
Lipke B. Holthuis of the Nationaal Natuurhistorisch Museum, Leiden, with his usual
exemplary thoroughness, sifted through the manuscript and made suggestions and corrections,
and also pointed out many missed references and synonymies, especially those involving older
literature or complex taxonomic tangles, of which is he is undisputed master. To all of these, we
are extremely grateful for their support and generosity.

A few of the illustrations were taken from earlier works of the first author; these illustrations
were executed by Maria M. Di£guez, and are acknowledged as such. The bulk of the
illustrations, however, are the work of Molly Kelly Ryan, Scientific Illustrator in the Department
of Invertebrate Zoology, NMNH, Smithsonian Institution. Ms. Ryan's dogged devotion to this
project in the face of sometimes strident competition for her talents, has earned our undying
gratitude. Her superb renderings and attention to our demands for accuracy of detail speak to her
unflinching patience and unvarying pleasantness.
Alain Crosnier encouraged us to submit our manuscript to the Paris Museum, and when it
was finally accepted, undertook the detailed editing. During this process, because of his
knowledge of the penaeideans, he was able to expose several problems and errors and suggested
improvements well beyond the normal scope of an editor. We are truly indebted to him.

Remarks. — The anomalous position of Plesiopenaeus nitidus Barnard within the definition
of typical Plesiopenaeus , was pointed out by Crosnier (1978: 88 table 11). At least two
characters used in the latter table, however, were erroneous, due to the lack of material on which
to base conclusions. Examination of specimens reveals at least four
this species both from Plesiopenaeus and Aristaeopsis: the podobranch of the third pereopod is
reduced; the ventral antennular flagellum in the male is modified; the third maxilhped in the adult
male is modified; the carinae of the carapace are very feebly developed. In addition, the first to
third pereopods each bear a distal movable meral spine. , ,,
The modification of the ventral antennular flagellum in the male of A. nitidus resembles the
condition found in the genus Aristeus. The latter, however,
evestalk an unflattened cornea, lacks exopods on the pereopods, a podobranch on the third
pereopod, and an epipod on the fourth. Because of these differences, A. nitidus cannot be
included in the genus Aristeus.

Good Hope; South Atlantic Ocean, Valdivia Bank; off Natal, South Africa, off St. Paul and

TyPE Species: By present designation, Penaeus brasiliensis var. aztecus Ives, 1891, Proc.
Acad. nat. Sci. Philad., 190; lectotype for Penaeus brasiliensis var. aztecus Ives, designated by
PfiREZ Farfante, 1969, Fish. Bull., U. S„ 67(3): 528.
Type Locality: Veracruz, Mexico.
Gender: Masculine.
Diagnosis. — Integument glabrous. Rostrum with dorsal and usually 2 (occasionally 1 or 3)
ventral teeth, moderately long, in young slightly surpassing antennular peduncle, in adult
sometimes reaching midlength of second antennular segment. Carapace with antennal and hepatic
spines pronounced, lacking orbital and pterygostomian spines; postocular sulcus absent;
postrostral carina long, adrostral carina and sulcus usually long, extending almost to posterior
margin of carapace, but sometimes only to posterior one-sixth of carapace; gastrofrontal carina
not turning anterodorsally upon itself at posterior end; gastro-orbital carina usually long,
extending more than three-quarters of distance between hepatic spine and orbital margin; orbito-
antennal sulcus well marked; cervical and hepatic carina sharp, accompanying sulci deep;
branchiocardiac carina lacking; longitudinal and transverse sutures absent. Sixth abdominal
somite bearing three cicatrices, dorsolateral sulcus narrow to quite broad. Telson unarmed.
Antennule lacking parapenaeid spine; antennular flagella much shorter than carapace. Palp of
first maxilla elongate, consisting of 3 or 4 articles, distal ones forming flagellum; large basal
article produced into setose proximal lobule on lateral and mesial margins and bearing 1,
occasionally 2, long subdistomesial spines and distolateral row of spinules. Basial spine on first
and second pereopods.
Petasma symmetrical, semiclosed, partly to almost completely hooded by well developed
distomedian projections; ventral costae long, strongly curved to almost straight distally, nearly
meeting midventrally. Appendix masculina subtriangular to suboval, armed with numerous
marginal spines. Thelycum closed, with pair of lateral plates on sternite XIV meeting along
midline, shielding simple, median, saclike seminal receptacle; sternite XIII with well developed
median protuberance.
Andrews (1911) gave an illustrated account of the seminal receptacle of P. brasiliensis (=
F. duorarum), and more recently Eldred (1958) figured the seminal receptacle of F. duorarum
and P£rez Farfante (1969) that of F. brasiliensis. The formation and structure of the
spermatophores of F. aztecus and F. duorarum were studied by Bauer and Cash (1991). They
consist of a main body containing sperm and a tail-like appendage which when exposed to sea
water during insemination unfolds, forming a membrane that fills the slit between the lateral
plates and extends along their mesial margins, or spreads over most of the lateral plates (in
F. brevirostris, pers. obs.), plugging the opening of the seminal receptacle. These
spermatophores exhibit a much simpler structure than those of genera with an open thelycum,
lacking attachment extensions, wing, flap, flange, and adhesive materials.

view. — B, $ 35.5 mm cl, southeast Atlantic Ocean off South Africa. Thelycum. Scales = 1 mm.
Remarks. — Funchalia sagamiensis was described from a single juvenile specimen (7 mm
carapace length and of undetermined sex), which possesses three characters that differ from those
typical of the members of Funchalia : it lacks exopods on all pereopods, basial and ischial spines
on the first and second pereopods, and the telson bears two pairs of movable lateral spines
anterior to the fixed subapical pair; this juvenile has not been associated with an adult. Hayashi
(1992) found a small female (8 mm carapace length) in Japanese waters which shares many
characters with F. sagamiensis, but it bears small prominences on the pereopods which resemble

buds of exopods. Although Hayashi tentatively assigned it to F. sagamiensis he suggested that
the specimen might possibly belong to F. villosa or F. taaningi. Because the members of
Funchalia undergo considerable changes in their development, the identities of these two juvenile
shrimps must await the study of additional, more nearly adult material.

(in litt., 1996) assures us that Heteropenaeus longimanus can be bought by the kilogram in fish
markets in the Philippines, and that only very large males, which are not all that common,
possesses the very long first pereopods. He quotes a specimen with a carapace length of
17.5 mm as having a first pereopod of 66 mm, with an extremely elongate propod.

Hudinaga (1942) and Tirmizi (1958) gave a detailed account of the structure of the thelycum
and seminal receptacle of the monotypic M. japonicus, and included a study of the
spermatophore, the latter consisting of sperm sac and, when deposited on female, an unique large
subtriangular process or "wing", with anteriorly disposed broad base which, together with long
posteriorly curved dorsal rod, anchors spermatophore to pocket. Medina et al. (1994) reported
on the spermatozoal ultrastructure in M. japonicus.

B, Seminal receptacles, dorsal view. Scales = 1 mm.
Remarks. — Burkenroad (1934a) divided Trachypenaeus in two subgenera:
Trachysalambria, "Division I", proposed by him, possessing an epipod on the first and second
pereopods and a pair of seminal receptacles opening mesially in an unpaired pocket into which
sperm-free male secretion is received; and Trachypenaeus s.s., "Division II", lacking an epipod
on the first and second pereopods and, apparently, a median pocket. Furthermore, Burkenroad
(1934a, b) subdivided Division I, Trachysalambria, into two sections: Section 1, possessing a
longitudinal suture extending behind the hepatic spine, basial spine on the third maxilliped,
lacking an ischial spine on the first pereopod, and having the posterior lip of the transverse
groove anterodorsal to the plate of sternite XIV, from which the median pocket is invaginated,
produced in a pair of free flaps; and Section 2, exhibiting a longitudinal suture not extending
behind the hepatic spine, lacking basial spine on the third maxilliped, possessing an ischial spine
on the first pereopod and the posterior lip of the transverse groove not produced as paired flaps.
The characters of these Divisions and Sections, cited by Burkenroad in 1934a, appeared in
another paper of his (1934b) only three months after the former was published.
Later, it was noticed by various authors (Kubo, 1949; Dall, 1957; Burkenroad, 1959) that
epipods on the first and second pereopods were also absent in some members of
Trachysalambria, Section 2, and, consequently, this taxon was not accepted. Kubo (1949)
98
ISABEL PfiREZ FARFANTE & BRIAN KENSLEY
rejected those subgenera but, as Burkenroad (1959) noted, for erroneous reasons: he mistook
Section 2 of Division I for Division II. Burkenroad (1934a) selected T. (Trachysalambria)
curvirostris as the type of this subgenus, including it in his Section 2 of Division I; in 1934b, he
further characterized Section 2.

FAMILIES AND GENERA OF THE PENAEOID AND SERGESTOID SHRIMPS
99
As a result of a detailed study of Trachypenaeus s.l., we are of the opinion that in this
extremely heterogeneous group, four different genera should be recognized. They can be
separated mainly by the structures of the genitalia, particularly those of the thelycum. One of
them ( Rimapenaeus , proposed herein) can be distinguished also by the length of the longitudinal
suture of the carapace which is long rather than short, by the presence of a basial spine on the
third maxilliped, and by possessing a trilobed, instead of a bilobed, seminal receptacle. The
occurrence of an epipod on the first and second pereopods varies in Megokris and
Trachysalambria but seems to be constant in Rimapenaeus and is lacking in the monotypic
Trachypenaeus, s.s. Finally, in two genera, Megokris and Trachypenaeus, the seminal
receptacles open independently, with no connecting sternal groove or median pocket. In
Trachysalambria, however, they open into a common transverse groove (from which they
actually originate) and in Rimapenaeus they open mesially into a common median pocket. The
four genera are discussed below; their diagnoses may be found under the relevant generic
headings.
Megokris comprises one of the species groups previously included in Trachypenaeus, and
constitutes part of Burkenroad's (1934a) Division II. Although it most closely resembles the
latter genus, as restricted herein, it differs in that the thelycal plate of stemite XIV is deeply
excavate, its posteromedian part is extremely short, and extends anterolaterally embracing the
typical caudal projection of the median protuberance. In contrast, in the species of Trachypenaeus
s.s., the plate of stemite XIV is moderately long medially and the median protuberance is short,
not invading the plate. Furthermore, in Megokris, the distolateral projections of the petasma are
either moderately broad to narrow and extend laterally or they are extremely broad basally,
narrowing rapidly, all ending in small hooklike tips; the distolateral projections in Trachypenaeus
are extremely broad throughout their length and end in an elongate flattened and twisted narrow
process directed almost straight forward. In both these genera the only sternal invaginations are
those giving rise to the seminal receptacles, thus these are neither connected by a transverse
groove, as they do in Trachysalambria, nor by a median pocket as they are in Rimapenaeus.

Gender: Feminine.
Diagnosis. — Integument thick, pubescent, usually densely so. Rostrum armed with dorsal
teeth only; variable in length, usually not overreaching antennular peduncle; epigastric tooth
conspicuously separated from first rostral tooth. Carapace with small orbital, and well developed
antennal, pterygostomian, and hepatic, spines, lacking branchiostegal spine; postocular sulcus
absent; orbito-antennal and cervical sulci usually feeble; hepatic sulcus usually weak, sometimes
indistinct anteriorly, never reaching pterygostomian angle; hepatic carina indistinct; sutures
lacking. Stridulating ridges on posterior parts of carapace present in some species. Sixth
abdominal somite without cicatrices. Telson armed with pair of fixed subapical spines preceded
by three pairs of conspicuous movable spines.
Antennule with parapenaeid spine, sometimes vestigial; antennular flagella variable in length,
usually much shorter but sometimes longer than carapace; sexually dimorphic, longer in males
than in females. Palp of first maxilla entire, short, often narrowing to blunt apex, bearing small
proximolateral lobule, conspicuous proximomesial and smaller distomesial lobules, latter armed
with 1-3 slender spines, and distolateral row of spinules. Basial spine on third maxilliped, first
and second pereopods, always lacking on third. Rudimentary anterior arthrobranchia present on
somite XIII.
Petasma asymmetrical, divided at about midlength into proximal and distal parts, latter
complex, subdivided into several projections and components, one (in Atlantic, eastern Pacific
and single Indo-West Pacific species) or two (in other Indo-west Pacific species) of these

lamellate distoventral projections, more or less covering others. Appendix masculina trumpet¬
shaped (small abrupt expansion of dorsomesial rib of endopod). Thelycum closed, with
transverse plate on sternite XIV and strongly developed median protuberance on sternite XIII;
sometimes intermediate plate present between latter and transverse plate on XIV.
Seminal receptacle not saclike, usually consisting of bulbous capsule situated dorsal to
anterolateral part of sternite XIV (dorsal to thelycal hood), continuous with horizontal or
obliquely directed narrow troughlike duct (fissure ventromesial), which sometimes turning
anteriorly in U and extending for variable length along sternite XIII. Apparently, sperm enters
through the duct fissure and flows into the capsule and exits through a slit (continuation of the
duct fissure) on the anterodorsal side of the capsule, at the base of the fourth pereopod. The
seminal receptacles of M. goodei and of various Western Atlantic species were described and
illustrated by Burkenroad (1934a) and P£rez Farfante (1971a), respectively.

affinis, 6 30 mm cl, Orissa
coast, India. Petasma, ventral
view. Scale = 1 mm.
Antennule lacking parapenaeid spine; antennular flagella shorter
than carapace. Palp of first maxilla biarticulate, distal article minute,
large basal article bearing weak proximolateral lobule and large and
small proximomesial lobules, latter armed with long mesial spine.
Basial spine on first through third pereopods, in some species
ischial spine on first. Fifth pereopod modified in male: ischium
usually bearing lateral keel, and merus exhibiting proximal
notch followed by conspicuous knob or spiniform process.
Pleurobranchia present on somite XIII. Exopod lacking on fifth
pereopod.
Petasma symmetrical, semiclosed, depressed, with median lobes
usually produced into simply curved, hoodlike, or convoluted distal
projections; sclerotized lateral lobes produced distally in spoutlike
obliquely or fully lateral projections and with ventrolateral recurved,
flaplike to complex, mesial process. Appendix masculina narrow
basally, greatly expanded distally and strongly convex ventrally.
Thelycum closed, with paired lateral plates of sternite XIV often
continuous across sternite, usually more or less enveloping
posterior end of elongate median protuberance of sternite XIII.
Seminal receptacles, for example in M. affinis and M. ensis ,
consisting of paired posteriorly rigid, anteriorly membranous
pyriform sacs, continuous basally and opening through sternal
transverse slit between sternites XIV and XIII; sacs extending
anteriorly into sternite XIII and opening through paired slits lying
lateral to posterior part of median protuberance, dorsal to base of
fourth pereopods. A general account of the seminal receptacles was
given by Burkenroad (1934a) and more recently Hassan (1981)
described in detail the development and structure of the seminal
receptacles of M. affinis.

Species. — Miyadiella podophthalmus (Stimpson, 1860). Maharashtra, west coast of India;
South China Sea; Japan.
Miyadiella omata Holthuis, 1955b. Northeast Java and Arafura Sea, Indonesia.
Remarks. — The generic status of Miyadiella pedunculata Kubo, 1949, and Miyadiella omata
Holthuis, 1955b, has been the object of two interpretations: that they belong to Atypopenaeus
Alcock, 1905, or that they should be retained in Miyadiella Kubo, 1949.
Alcock (1905) was the first to suggest that Penaeus stenodactylus Stimpson, 1860, and
P. podophthalmus Stimpson, 1860, might belong to the genus Atypopenaeus. Starobogatov
(1972) having the same opinion, recognized Penaeus podophthalmus and Miyadiella pedunculata
Kubo, 1949, as synonyms of A. stenodactylus and assigned it and M. ornata Holthuis, 1955b
(which he considered to be the young A. dearmatus De Man, 1907) to the genus Atypopenaeus.
Burkenroad (1983) also suggested such a tentative synonymy for the genus, and Holthuis
(1980) recognized Stimpson's species as well as M. pedunculata as synonyms of Atypopenaeus
stenodactylus. Recently, Hayashi (1992) stated that the long eyestalks, considered a character
typical of Miyadiella, become very short in specimens of A. stenodactylus having a carapace
length greater than 8.5 mm, in this respect being similar to those of the adult of the latter.
We have examined a specimen of Atypopenaeus compressipes with 7.2 mm carapace length,
total length of about 27 mm, which has short eyestalks that do not overreach the first antennular
segment, a length at which, according to Hayashi (1992) juveniles of the genus possess long
eyestalks. We also have examined specimens of Miyadiella omata from Indonesian waters with a
carapace length of 10 mm, a total length of 37.5 mm from the Museum National d'Histoire
Naturelle, Paris (material kindly made available by Dr. Alain Crosnier), with extremely long
eyestalks, thus, longer than specimens of Atypopenaeus exhibiting short ones; this specimen also
possesses clearly developed spinules on the first rostral teeth and along the postrostral carina,
another feature typical of Miyadiella; moreover, it has relatively short fifth pereopods, reaching to
about the end of the basal third of the scaphocerite, instead of extending by at least the length of

the antennular flagella. On the basis of these observations we are tentatively recognizing
Miyadiella and Atypopenaeus as separate genera, the validity of which must await the laboratory
rearing of juvenile members of these genera.

Type Species: By present selection, Penaeus balboae Faxon, 1893, Bull. Mus. comp Zool
Harv., 24(7): 211.
Type Locality; Off Isla del Coco, Costa Rica, 5°26'20"N, 86°55’00"W, 1280 m.
Gender: Masculine.
As Burkenroad proposed the name Pelagopenaeus for two species in 1934, i.e. after 1930, and did not select
a type species, Pelagopenaeus is an unavailable name under Article 13b of the International Code of Zoological
Nomenclature. Dr. L. Holthuis (in lilt, 1996) notes further that the indication by W. L. Sclater [1935,
Zoological Record for 1934, vol. 71, part 9 (Crustacea), page 34]: "Pelagopenaeus subg. n. for Penaeus balboae
Faxon" is not a type selection either. Thus it is with the greatest reluctance, and in light of Dr. Burkenroad being
deceased, that we make the name available and assume in this work the authorship of Pelagopenaeus.

Fig. 83. — Protrachypene
precipua , S 24.5 mm cl,
Playas, Ecuador. Petasma,
ventral view. Scale =
1 mm.
Spermatophores apparently entering median pocket with sperm mass passing to seminal
receptacles, and trailing sperm-free material plugging pocket. As noted by Burkenroad (1934a)
the plug blocks the entrance and the sperm is forced to leave the receptacle through the laterally
located slits at the base of the fourth pereopods, close to the gonopores. In general, this seems to
be the method of impregnation and release of sperm in members of the genera of the
Trachypenaeus 'series'.

ISABEL PfiREZ FARFANTE & BRIAN KENSLEY
Type Locality: Off Panama, 12 m.
Gender: Masculine.
Etymology. — From the Greek rima, cleft, in combination with the generic name Penaeus,
alluding to the conspicuously or more often, deeply cleft thelycal plate of stemite XIV.
Fig. 85. — Rimapenaeus faoe, 9 37 mm cl, off Juan Diaz, Gulf of Panama. Lateral view. Scale = 10 mm.
Diagnosis. — Body thickset. Integument thick, pubescent, usually densely so. Rostrum
reaching between distal margin of first antennular segment and about proximal fourth of dorsal
flagellum; armed with dorsal teeth only; epigastric tooth distinctly separated from first rostral
tooth. Carapace with orbital, antennal, and hepatic spines present; pterygostomian angle blunt,
lacking spine; postocular sulcus clearly distinct; short cervical and well marked hepatic sulcus;
orbito-antennal sulcus weak; branchiocardiac carina well defined, accompanying sulcus almost
indistinct; longitudinal suture long, ending well posterior to epigastric tooth; transverse suture
well marked. Abdomen with sixth somite bearing one continuous cicatrix or latter more often di¬
vided into two well defined parts. Telson with 3-4 pairs of movable lateral spines, or 3 movable
and subapical fixed, subapical pair projecting from slight shoulder, or unarmed (in Rimapenaeus
byrdi only).
Antennule lacking parapenaeid spine, antennular flagella shorter than carapace. Palp of first
maxilla entire, rapidly tapering to produced apex, bearing setose proximolateral, broad, setose
proximomesial, and small acute distomesial lobules, latter bearing 5 elongate spines; palp also
armed distally with ventrolateral rows of spinules. Fourth and fifth pereopods with dactyl neither
elongate nor subdivided. Basial spine on third maxilliped, first and second pereopods; ischial
spine lacking on first pereopod. Epipod on first through third pereopods.
Petasma symmetrical, semi-closed, with lateral lobes produced distolaterally into large,
occasionally small (in R. byrdi only) hornlike projections either extending straight laterally or
sinuously curving forward. Appendix masculina subrectangular with rounded comers. Thelycum
closed, with plate of stemite XIV entirely cleft medially, resulting in two truncate flaps or, more

often, deeply cleft anteriorly, and produced into
moderately to strongly elongate, tongue-like flaps;
sternal invagination forming pronounced median
pocket dorsally continuous with median pro¬
tuberance of stemite XIII; latter strongly developed,
but not produced caudally. Seminal receptacles
consisting of paired trilobed sacs, each with large
posterior lobe and two small lobes, one lateral,
another mesial, flanking median protuberance;
sinuous slitlike openings of receptacles lying on
anterior extremity of posterior lobe connecting
mesially with median pocket and extending to
anterolateral lobe (dorsal to posterolateral part of
median protuberance), where opening to exterior
near base of fourth pereopod. A general description
of the seminal receptacles of Trachypenaeus
[Rimapenaeus] similis was presented by
Burkenroad (1934b) and recently, Bauer and Lin
(1993) conducted a thorough investigation of these
structures, resulting in an excellent and finely
illustrated contribution. Years before, Perez
Farfante (1971b) described and depicted the
seminal receptacles of T. [R.] fuscina.
Material leaving the ejaculatory duct, i.e. the
spermatophore, consists of numerous minute
packets of sperm ' (spermatophores sensu
Burkenroad, 1934b, Bauer and Lin, 1993) in a
seminal fluid and a viscous adhesive material, the plug substance. Apparently, during copulation
the spermatophores are introduced into the seminal receptacles and the trailing plug substance fills
and seals the median pocket where it hardens considerably. This arrangement prevents sperm
from flowing back to the median pocket, forcing it to exit close to the gonopores. Earlier,
Burkenroad (1934a) had inferred the differing places of entrance and exit of the sperm in
members of Trachypenaeus s.l. and later (1934b) described the transit of the sperm mass in
Trachypenaeus [Rimapenaeus] similis, and the role of the trailing material. Bauer and Lin (1993:
184) also discuss the role of the plug substance as a mechanism to preclude subsequent
inseminations by other males.

Fig. 86 . — Rimapenaeus faoe, 3 20 mm cl,
Bellevista Beach, Panama. Petasma, dorsal
view. Scale = 1 mm.
Remarks. — Rimapenaeus , one of the genera that has been segregated from Trachypenaeus
s.l., includes some of the species (all from American waters) grouped by Burkenroad (1934a) in
138
ISABEL PfiREZ FARFANTE & BRIAN KENSLEY
the subgenus Trachysalambria (Section 1, Division I). This genus can be distinguished by the
thelycum which exhibits the plate of sternite XIV either divided in two by a longitudinal slit
separating truncate plates or, more often, produced in relatively short or elongate tonguelike
flaps, with sternite XIV typically invaginated anteriorly forming a well defined median pocket,
instead of a broad bracket-shaped transverse groove. Rimapenaeus can also be distinguished by
the petasma, the lateral lobes of which are distally produced into usually large, occasionally
small, projections, extending laterally, often in a sinuous course with apical parts curving
forward. The longitudinal suture is long, conspicuously overreaching the hepatic spine, rather
than short, not extending behind the hepatic spine, and a basial spine is present on the third
maxilliped. The seminal receptacles are trilobed, whereas in the other three genera they are
bilobed. Finally, in Rimapenaeus the openings of the receptacles are mesially connected to a
median pocket, and from there extend anterolaterally. Although in species of the other genera
( Megokris , Trachypenaeus, Trachysalambria ) formerly included in Trachypenaeus s.l. the
epipods may be present on, or absent from, the first and second pereopods (in all four genera an
epipod is always present on the third), all observations to the present indicate that in
Rimapenaeus they are always present.

*A rudimentary anteroventral arthrobranchia is found only in T. brevisuturae.
Remarks. — The members of Trachysalambria are rather closely allied to those of
Rimapenaeus ; however, they differ in that in the former the plate of stemite XIV is neither deeply
cleft anteriorly, at most slightly emarginate, nor produced into paired flaps; anterior sternal
invagination of XIV forming a typical bracket-shaped transverse groove and not a well defined
median pocket; and the distolateral projections of the petasma extend almost straight laterally or
with their tips curving slightly backwards. Also, in Trachysalambria, unlike that of
Rimapenaeus, the longitudinal suture of the carapace is short, not reaching the level of the
epigastric tooth; the basial spine is lacking on the third maxilliped, and the seminal receptacles are
bilobed, with their openings continuing into the common groove.
It should be pointed out that the validity of two of the species cited below, T. albicoma and
T. malaiana, has been questioned and needs to be confirmed.

ISABEL PEREZ FARFANTE & BRIAN KENSLEY
Remarks. — The position and relationships
of the Luciferidae are problematic, as was
pointed out by Burkenroad (1983: 284).
Although the latter included the group in the
Dendrobranchiata, they possess none of the
features that he used to characterize this
suborder, other than that they hatch as free
nauplii (generally agreed to be a primitive
feature; see Kaestner, 1970: 53). Traditionally
regarded as a subgroup of the Sergestoidea, the
placement of Lucifer within the Penaeidea was
based on the presence of a petasma in the male
(a feature also found in the eumalacostracan
order Euphausiacea), while the absence of
pereopods 4 and 5 was seen as indicating its
relationship to the sergestids: Acetes, for
example, also lacks pereopods 4 and 5. The
assumption implicit here is that loss of
pereopods 4 and 5 is a synapomorphic feature of
Fig. 127. — Lucifer typus, 6 , north-east Atlantic the Luciferidae and the Sergestidae, rather than
Ocean off Liberia. Petasma. Scale = 2 mm. two events that occurred independently.
However, the advanced features that characterize
the Luciferidae, namely the extreme compression of the body, the lack of chelae, the absence of a

ventral antennular flagellum, the absence of mandibular and maxillar palps, the retension of eggs
on the third pleopods of the female, and the absence of gills, suggest that loss of the two
posterior pereopods was part of the suite of extreme modifications for a highly specialized
planktonic existence. Further, the complete lack of gills in Lucifer negates the most basic feature
for inclusion in the Dendrobranchiata.

Ventral antennular flagellum modified in male to form clasping organ. Antennal flagellum
bipartite, consisting of stiff proximal portion and more flexible distal portion. Mandibular palp of
3 articles. First maxilliped with exopod and epipod; second maxilliped with epipod; second and
third maxillipeds and all pereopods lacking exopods. First to third pereopods (in Peisos) or
second and third pereopods with minute chela (Sergestes pectinatus lacking chela on third pereo-
pod). Fourth and fifth pereopods reduced (except in Sicyonella) or absent. Branchiae present.
Petasma variously composed of lobus accessorius, lobus armatus, lobus connectens,
lobus inermis, lobus terminalis, processus ventralis, processus uncifer; lobes often bear¬
ing hooks. Appendix masculina unilamellate. Thelycum with sternite XII and sometimes sternite
XIII and coxae of third pereopod modified; seminal receptacles present, small, varying from
simple shallow pockets to sac-like invaginations situated submesially at base of third pereopods.
Remarks. — Of all the sergestid genera, Sergestes H. Milne Edwards, 1830, has had the
most checkered history. Stimpson (1860) applied the name Sergia to a late mastigopus sergestid
larva, and even though Ortmann (1893) recognized Sergia as a full genus, this was not generally
accepted. Even Yaldwyn's landmark 1957 paper on New Zealand sergestids, while recognizing
a fundamental difference between those species possessing organs of Pesta ( Sergestes ) and those
with dermal photophores (Sergia), gave these taxa subgeneric status within Sergestes. Omori
(1974) finally reintroduced Sergia as a full genus. It has long been recognized that both genera
can be divided into groups of closely-related species (e.g. Yaldwyn, 1957; Judkins, 1978), but
apart from the unpublished work of Judkins' (1972), this division has never been formally pro¬
posed. Unfortunately, as the latter work does not constitute a publication under articles 8 and 9 of
the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (1985), the seven new genera proposed
therein (and based primarily on petasmatal features) cannot be used. Foxton (1972) demonstrated
several groupings of species of Sergestes s.l. based on the structure and arrangement of the or¬
gans of Pesta, but, again, no formal names for these groupings were proposed.

This work presents a study of the taxonomy of the penaeidean shrimps of the world.
This group of shrimp includes many of the commercially important marine species of the
tropics and subtropics, as well as many of the species that constitute a major link in the food
chain of the oceans. The works present keys for the identification of seven families (the
Aristeidae, Benthesicymidae, Penaeidae, Sicyoniidae, Solenoceridae, Luciferidae, and Ser-
gestidae) and 56 genera, as well as diagnoses that attempt to define these taxa with scientific
clarity. Also included are lists of the species and subspecies currently included in these
genera, along with their geographic distribution, and a full bibliography.
Dr Isabel PEREZ Farfante is an Emeritus Research Scientist with the U.S. National
