Hist. nat. ~Grigore Antipan I Vol. XXXV I pp. 7-16 1 1995 1 BUNAKENZA ZNDONESZmA, NEW GENUS AND SPECIES OF APSEUDOMORPHA (CRUSTACEA, TANAIDACEA), FROM THE SOUTH OF SULAWESI SEA MODEST GUTU On dkcrit Bunakenia indonesiana n.g., n.sp. dans les eaux indonksiennes de la Mer Sulawesi. As a result of the Romanian Expedition made by "Grigore Antipa" Museum of Natural History of Bucharest in the Indonesian Archipelago (1991), the species Paprapseudes pangtiruthuli Gutu (1992) was described from among tanaidacea and the present paper adds to the inventory of apseudomorphs from the Indonesian marine waters another new species and, in the same time, a new genus. FAMILY APSEUDIDAE Leach, 18 14 Subfamily Apseudinae Leach, 18 14 Bunakenia n.g. Type species: Bunakenia indonesiana n.sp. Diagnosis: The body dorso-ventrally flattened, without spiniform apophysis on the carapace, pereon or pleon. Carapace with ocular lobes. Antenna with five-articulated peduncles; squama present, well developed. Mandibles with three-articulated palps. Maxillule with two-articulated palpus. Caudo-distal inner seta of endite of maxilliped normal, plumose. Epignath big, cup-shaped. Chelipeds and pereopod I1 with exopodites. Coxa of pereopods I1 with spinifonn apophysis; basis relatively short, very broad, like an oval disk, with antero-sternal side provided with numerous plumose setae. Pleopods birarnous, in five pairs. Uropods filiform. biramous. Oostegites in five pairs. Sexual dimorphism: very accentuated on the chelipeds and less accentuated on the pereopods I1 (only on the basis and meros).
8 MODEST GUTU Gender: feminine. Etymology: derived from Bunaken, name of the island (Sulawesi Sea), where the type-species was found. Remarks: The new genus Bunakenia differs from all other genera of subfamily ~~seudinae'b~ the oval-diskoidal shape and the series of plumose setae of the antero-sternal edge of the basis of pereopods I1 and moreover by the aspect of the male chelipeds, the finger of the propus and dactylus having the shape of two scythes placed symmetrically face to face. Another characteristic of the genus is the lack of spiniform apophyses at carapace level or of the pereon and pleon, thus evoking some genera of the family Parapseudidae Guw, 1981 (Section I1 of the family Apseudidae in Sieg's acceptation, 1983, p. 133). The only genera in which a series of long plumose setae on the anterosternal edge of the basis of pereopods I1 are Calozodion Gardiner, 1973, and Pagurapseudes Whitelegge, 1901, genera very much differing from Bunkenia n.g., by numerous other characters. The fossorial-types pereopods I1 (with massive spines but without long setae on the merus, the carpus. and the propus) and the presence of the coxal spiniform apophysis and lack of the transversal row of hairs on the first pleonite (a character which is met in only some genera of the family Parapseudidae) determined me to included the new genus in the family Apseudidae, the subfamily Apseudinae. No other species so far described in the literature fits with the new genus. Bunakenia indonesiana n.sp. (Figs 1-5) Material: 24 specimens (6 males, 7 females and 11 juveniles).

Pereon with six free pereonites, trapezoid-shaped, without spiniform processus, narrower in last pereonite. Pleon with five short and wide pleonites and pleotelson.

16 MODEST GUTU Renzarks: As me observed the very wide basis of pereopods I1 (as of the cheliped) a feature unoccurred as yet in apseudomorph tanaidaceans has the part of protecting the ventral side of the body.
