New Australian Species of Ampeliscidae (Crustacea: Amphipoda) from the Great Barrier Reef and Eastern Australia with a Key to Australian Species

Six new species of Ampeliscidae are described: Ampelisca capella sp. nov., Ampelisca mingela sp. nov., Byblis pialba sp. nov. and Byblis wadara sp. nov. from the Great Barrier Reef; Ampelisca katoomba sp. nov. from the New South Wales shelf; and Byblis liena sp. nov. from the Queensland slope. Byblisoides esferis J. L. Barnard, 1961 is recorded from southeastern Australia, the first record of the genus in Australia. These bring the number of eastern Australian species to twenty-six.

本研究记述了莹虾科（Ampeliscidae）的6个新物种：其中采自大堡礁的包括莹虾属（Ampelisca）的卡佩拉新种（Ampelisca capella sp. nov.）、明氏新种（Ampelisca mingela sp. nov.），以及双眼钩虾属（Byblis）的皮阿尔巴新种（Byblis pialba sp. nov.）与瓦达拉新种（Byblis wadara sp. nov.）；采自新南威尔士陆架的为莹虾属（Ampelisca）的卡图姆巴新种（Ampelisca katoomba sp. nov.）；采自昆士兰陆坡的为双眼钩虾属（Byblis）的利埃纳新种（Byblis liena sp. nov.）。此外，本研究在澳大利亚东南部记录到拟光眼钩虾属（Byblisoides）的埃斯费里拟光眼钩虾（Byblisoides esferis J. L. Barnard, 1961），这是该属在澳大利亚的首次记录。此次新种与新记录的发现，使澳大利亚东部的莹虾科物种总数增至26种。
