Abstract
    MUSORSTOM collections from New Caledonia, the Strait of Makassar (Indonesia), the Philippines and near Madagascar contained many new records and some new species of pseudionines from non-anomuran hosts, a new genus and species of argeiine, orbionine parasites of penaeoid shrimps, a single athelgine from 2 hosts and the only entophiline known. Species of Pseudioninae reported are Pseudione indica Chopra, 1930 (new to the Pacific), infesting Plesionika narval (Fabricius) (new host record) in the Strait of Makassar; Ionella maculata sp. nov. infesting Callianassa sp. at New Caledonia; and Gigantione elconaxii sp. nov., infesting Elconaxius sp. at New Caledonia. In the Argeiinae is Eragia profunda, gen. nov., sp. nov., a parasite of Prionocrangon sp. nov. at New Caledonia. Species of Orbioninae reported (all new geographical and host records, except as noted) are Orbione halipori Nierstrasz & Brender á Brandis, 1923, from the Philippines, infesting Haliporoides sibogae (de Man) (not a new host record); Orbione cf. kempi Chopra, 1923, from New Caledonia, infesting Sicyonia trúncala (Kubo); Epipenaeon fissurae Kensley, 1974, from the Strait of Makassar, infesting Parapenaeus longipes Alcock (not a new host record); Parapenaeon japónica (Thielemann, 1910) from near the Strait of Makassar (Indonesia), infesting Metapenaeopsis sinica Liu & Zhong; near Panay Island, Philippines, infesting Metapenaeopsis velutinus (Dana); NW of Madagascar (not a new locality), infesting Metapenaeopsis hilarula (de Man). Parapenaeon brevicoxalis Bourdon, 1981, from Chesterfield Islands, infesting Hymenopenaeus halli Bruce, 1966; Parapenaeon expansa Bourdon, 1979, from the Strait of Makassar, infesting Metapenaeopsis sinica Liu & Zhong, from the Seychelles, infesting Metapenaeopsis faouzii Ramadan, from Madagascar (not a new record), infesting Metapenaeopsis mogiensis consobrina (Nobili), and from New Caledonia, infesting Metapenaeopsis gaillardi Crosnier; and Parapenaeon secunda Nierstrasz & Brender á Brandis, 1923, near Manila, Philippines, infesting Metapenaeopsis palmensis (Haswell), and the Strait of Makassar, infesting Metapenaeopsis sinica Liu & Zhong. In the Athelginae is Pseudostegias setoensis Shiino, 1933, from Chesterfield Islands, a new locality, where it infests a new host, "Trizopagurus" sp. (to be described as gen. nov., sp. nov.). In the Entophilinae, Entophilus omnitectus Richardson, 1903, is reported from Chesterfield Islands, a new locality, as a parasite of Munida "incerta" Henderson, a previously reported host. Nearly all species are illustrated and described or redescribed.
