Data from: Sphaeromatidae from Réunion Island, southern Indian Ocean, with description of a new species of Paraleptosphaeroma Buss & Iverson, 1981 (Crustacea: Isopoda)

This dataset is from Müller (1990) on Sphaeromatidae from Réunion Island, southern Indian Ocean, with description of a new species of Paraleptosphaeroma Buss & Iverson, 1981 (Crustacea: Isopoda).
Paraleptosphaeroma indica n. sp. is described as the first member of the genus from the Indian Ocean. It was found together with Paraciliacea mossambica Barnard, 1914 on coral reefs at Réunion Island and is closely related to Paraleptosphaeroma glynni Buss & Iverson, 1981 from Panama Pacific and the island Dominica in the Caribbean.

本数据集源自Müller（1990年）针对南印度洋留尼汪岛团水虱科（Sphaeromatidae）的研究，文中记述了副细团水虱属（Paraleptosphaeroma Buss & Iverson, 1981）的1个新物种，该类群隶属于甲壳纲（Crustacea）等足目（Isopoda）。
印度副细团水虱（Paraleptosphaeroma indica）新种被确定为该属在印度洋的首个记录类群。该新种与莫桑比克副纤水虱（Paraciliacea mossambica Barnard, 1914）共同发现于留尼汪岛的珊瑚礁生境，且与来自巴拿马太平洋海域及加勒比海多米尼克岛的格氏副细团水虱（Paraleptosphaeroma glynni Buss & Iverson, 1981）亲缘关系紧密。
