J. BERGE, W. VADER AND A. GALAN 
REMARKS. The present species is described herein in Andaniopsis 
as it resembles Andaniopsis nordlandica in some important 
characters: 1) transverse and toothed incisor and laterally expanded 
lacinia mobilis on the mandible, 2) reduced palp of the first maxilla, 
3) general morphology of the maxilliped, 4) a large epistomal plate 
and 5) relatively long labrum with a well developed right lobe. 
However, the present species possesses a cleft telson, a character not 
found in nordlandica or in the closely related genus Andaniella Sars, 
1895. 
In 1967, Barnard described an immature specimen from a ‘un- 
known genus and species’ (Barnard 1967: 150). Although the 
epistome and labrum were damaged, and he did not describe the 
telson, the present species seems to be at least closely related to 
Barnard’s specimen, if not even belonging to the same species. As 
some essential appendages were damaged, and since it has not been 
possible to examine the specimen, Barnard’s specimen is referred to 
as an uncertain synonymy of the present new species. The only 
character that, at present, appears to separate Barnard’s specimen as 
a distinct species from africana, is the unexpanded basis on pereopod 
6 (expanded for africana). 
ETYMOLOGY. The present species is the first species in the genus 
to be recorded from the southern hemisphere and more specifically 
from the coast of South Africa, hence its name africana.
