Abstract Prior to the present study, the mantis shrimp superfamily Eurysquilloidea Manning, 1977, with the single family Eurysquillidae Manning, 1977, contained six genera and 32 species, most of which occur in the Indo-West Pacific. A new genus and species of eurysquilloid, Liusquilla taiwanica, recently discovered off southeastern Taiwan, is described herein, constituting the first record of the superfamily from the island. Sixty-eight species in six of the seven stomatopod superfamilies are now known from Taiwan. Liusquilla differs from other eurysquillids in the combination of four teeth on the dactylus of the raptorial claw and form of the eye and ocular scale. Liusquilla is possibly most closely related to Sinosquillla Liu & Wang, 1978, based on eye form and in the similarly ornamented, densely spinose telson and abdominal somite 6. A key to the eurysquillid genera is provided.

A new genus and species of pontoniine shrimp, Lacertopontonia chadi gen. et sp. nov., associated with cockscomb oyster Lopha cristagalli (Linnaeus, 1758) (Bivalvia, Ostreidae) is described from Lizard Island, the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, Australia. The new genus is presently monotypic and can be distinguished from all known Indo-West Pacific bivalve-associated pontoniine shrimps by smooth body, the absence of antennal and hepatic teeth on carapace, the presence of three pairs of dorsal submarginal spines on telson and only two pairs of posterior telson spines, short and robust equal pereiopods II, simple dactyli of ambulatory pereiopods and short uropodal exopod without movable spine at its distolateral angle.
