spherical, 1.3 times as long as broad, anterior margin with 
clusters of long robust setae, palm weakly convex, 2 A length

Remarks. Podocerus vulgaris sp. nov. is similar to P. 
cristatus, P dentatus and P. oliphant sp. nov. in the dorsal 
carination pattern. Podocerus vulgaris sp. nov. and P. 
oliphant sp. nov.have the male gnathopod 2 propodus palm 
with two distal teeth, while P. cristatus and P. dentatus have 
one palmar tooth. The male gnathopod 2 propodus palm 
with small defining tooth separates P. oliphant sp. nov. 
from P vulgaris sp. nov. which has a smooth unornamented 
gnathopod 2 posterior margin. Podocerus vulgaris sp. nov. 
is the most commonly collected Podocerus species for 
southern Australia.
