CRUSTACEA DECAPODA

which two arc new records. Nearly 80% (42 species) are 

 broad ranging Indo-West Pacific forms, many recorded as 

 far as the Red Sea as well as Indian and Pacific Oceans. 

 An additional 10% (5 species) are pantropical with the bal- 

 ance showing a more restricted distribution. An additional 

 22 alpheid taxa were recorded from atolls other than 

 Enewetak in the Marshall Islands (Banner, 1957; Banner 

 and Banner, 1968). Several of these are now considered 

 synonyms of species recorded herein from Enewetak, while 

 the others may be expected to occur there (Table 3). 



Eight identified hippolytid shrimps — members of the 

 genera Hippoli^te. Ligur. Li^smata. Saron, and Thor, each 

 with a broad Indo-West Pacific distribution — are newly 

 recorded from Enewetak. Two of these, S. marrnoratus 

 and S. neglectus, were also recorded from the southern 

 Marshall Islands (Holthuis, 1953). Also, a new species of 

 Hippol\^te, to be reported at a later date (Holthuis, per- 



sonal communication) and at least one undescribed 

 Li/smata. have been found at Enewetak. 



Among processid shrimps now known from Enewetak, 

 one species of Nikoides was previously recorded from this 

 atoll as well as Bikini, whereas a second species, N. sibo- 

 gae, was collected only at Bikini (Chace, 1955). A third 

 species, N multispinatus, is newly recorded and was origi- 

 nally reported from the Great Barrier Reef and Ishigakijima 

 Island, Japan. Three species of Processa including 

 P. mo/cris — a new species recorded by Chace from 

 Rongelap and Bikini — are now recorded from Enewetak. 



A new genua and species of symbiotic pandalid shrimp, 

 Miropandalus hardingi, has been found on branching black 

 coral in waters off the seaward side of Enewetak Atoll 

 (Bruce, 1983). 



Thalassocaris crinita, is newly recorded from Enewetak. 

 This species is known from Indonesia and other Indo-
