One new species and three new distribution records for the family Crangonidae (Crustacea: Decapoda) are reported from Western Australia. A new species, Philocheras gardenensis sp. nov. is described and illustrated based on specimens collected from the Western Australia. The new species closely resembles Philocheras fasciatus (Risso, 1816), but can be distinguished easily by the absence of lobe-like folds on either side of the middle line of the carapace, the presence of a lateral carina extending from the branchiostegal spine, the longer middorsal carina and distolateral tooth of the antennal scale. A key for the genus Philocheras is provided, including currently, a total of 58 species and subspecies reported worldwide. Range extensions of three Crangonid shrimps are reported within Australia, and they are Philocheras obliquus (Fulton & Grant, 1902), Pontocaris arafurae (Bruce, 1988) and Vercoia gibbosa Baker, 1904.

A New Species

The pontoniine shrimp genus Ancylomenes Okuno & Bruce, 2009 now includes 17 Indo-West Pacific species (Okuno & Bruce 2009). With a few exceptions, such as A. aesopius (Bate, 1863) and A. longicarpus (Bruce & Svoboda, 1983), these present a highly consistent morphology, differing at species level principally in details of the rostrum, third abdominal somite, ophthalmic process, dentition of the second pereiopod chelae, and ambulatory propods and dactyls. This consistency renders detailed descriptions repetitive and largely redundant.

A New Species

A new species of intertidal sesarmid crab, Parasesarma hartogi, is described from the upper mangrove zone in Shark Bay, Western Australia. It differs from its four closest relatives in the P. plictatum species-complex by being broader between the epibranchial angles than between the exorbital angles; showing differences in the number and form of the dorsal dactylar tubercles of the male cheliped, a relatively broader gape between the fingers of the adult male chelae, proportions and shape of the male abdomen, and shape of the male first gonopod.
