Abstract

A new species, Bestiolina arabica sp. nov. is described from the northwestern Arabian Gulf. The species can be distinguished from its congeners by the lack of large spinules on the anterior face of the exopods of swimming legs 2-4 in both sexes, and the lack of marginal spinules on the endopods of those same legs. © 2007 Brill Academic Publishers.
