on the merus of the raptorial claw. M. serenei resembles the small 

 fragmented specimen from the Gulf of Aden in having but one papilla 

 on the antennal protopod and in having the rounded lobe between 

 the spines of the basal prolongation of the uropod; the rounded lobe 

 is much better developed in the holotype of M. serenei than in the 

 Gulf of Aden specimen. 



Remarks. — This species is named for Raoul Serene in recognition 

 of his studies on the Stomatopoda of the Indo-West Pacific. 



Distribution. — Known only from the type-locality, the Poulo 

 Condore Islands, off Viet Nam.
