Barnard 1961: 106; Barnard &amp; Karaman 1991: 316</p> <p>The generic status of the type species of Dautzenbergia has changed frequently. The species was originally placed in Amphithopsis, then to Sympleustes to Dautzenbergia (by Chevreux 1900). Sexton (1909) moved the species back to Sympleustes with the synonymy of Dautzenbergia to Sympleustes. J.L. Barnard (1961) recognized the non-pleustid form of the lower lip and cleft telson and consequently revived and transferred it back to Dautzenbergia.</p> <p>Amended diagnosis. (see Barnard &amp; Karaman 1991 and Bellan-Santini et al. 1998). Antenna 1 longer than antenna 2. Accessory flagellum absent or with a minute article. Head with short rostrum. Body dorsally smooth, urosome 2 not shortened. Coxa 1 strongly directed anteriorly, apically pointed. Gnathopods subchelate, grossly unequal (gnathopod 1 much smaller than gnathopod 2), inner margin of dactylus of gnathopod 1 toothed; carpus of gnathopod 1 subequal to propodus, carpus of gnathopod 2 very short, with small short ventral lobe. Pereopods 3–7 dactyls smooth or toothed, pereopods 5–7 homopodous, basis expanded. Labrum bilobed, slightly incised. Labium with inner lobes small or obsolescent. Maxilla 1 inner plate with few terminal setae (2). Maxilla 2 with inner and outer plates subequal. Mandible with strong columnar, triturative molar, palp article 3 long. Maxilliped, palp 4- articulate, powerful with long dactyl. Uropods long, lanceolate, serially spinose, uropods 1–2 rami apices lacking spines, outer rami not strongly shortened. Telson slightly cleft, not ventrally keeled.</p> <p>Type species. Amphithopsis grandimana Chevreux, 1887: 570–571</p> <p>Included species. Dautzenbergia includes 5 species: Dautzenbergia grandimana (Chevreux, 1887); Dautzenbergia megacheir (Walker, 1897); Dautzenbergia dentata (Chevreux, 1919); Dautzenbergia comitari (Myers &amp; Hall-Spencer, 2004) new comb.; Dautzenbergia concavipalma sp. nov.</p> <p>Key to Dautzenbergia species</p> <p>1.

Associated with the gorgonian Acanthogorgia sp.</p> <p>Remarks. Myers &amp; Hall-Spencer (2004) placed this species into the genus Pleusymtes (family Pleustidae). However, our study has shown that it cannot be retained in the Pleustidae based on the following atypical and non-pleustid characters: mandibular left lacinia with 5 teeth, mandibular palp article 3 with facial A3 setae not basally clustered; urosome 2 dorsally not shortened; uropods 1–2 rami apices lacking spines and telson incised, lacking a ventral keel.</p> <p>The ventral keel of the telson in pleustids is an important, diagnostic character and the lack of the keel clearly excludes all Dautzenbergia species from that family. We here transfer it to Dautzenbergia, based on the following characters: strongly anteriorly directed, pointed coxa 1; the strongly dissimilar, raptorial gnathopods with gnathopod 2 massive; the toothed dactyls of the pereopods; the long, lanceolate, subequal rami of the uropods lacking apical spines and the incised telson lacking a ventral keel. In combination, these are all characteristic of the genus Dautzenbergia and the five species now included in the genus are very distinctive and form a recognizable, morphological group.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E91F43BD1EFFE4FF68F9B1FE5B7FF4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Apices with small distal notches stronger than in male.</p> <p>Ecology. As reported for other species of this genus, Dautzenbergia concavipalma sp. nov. is associated with deep-water corals and their sponge assemblages. Species-coral relationships between Dautzenbergia and azooxanthellate scleractinian corals (Caryophylliidae, Isididae, and Oculinidae) and plexaurid gorgonians have been observed and reported previously (Stephensen 1944, Myers &amp; Hall-Spencer 2004, Cartes et al. 2022 and this study). In contrast to other species of the genus, D. concavipalma sp. nov. occurred in water depths between 300–400 m, i.e. much shallower than previously known.</p> <p>Remarks. Dautzenbergia concavipalma sp. nov. is easily differentiated from all known species by the very distinctive shape and massive size of the propodus of gnathopod 2 (especially in male), with its very strongly concave, setose palm occupying nearly the full length of the propodus and the powerful, strongly curved dactylus. The ventrally directed, strong tooth of the posteroproximal margin of the palm is also very characteristic and does not occur in any of the other congeners. Further, from D. comitari (Myers &amp; Hall-Spencer, 2004), it differs in the much broader propodus of gnathopod 1, length 1.7 x width (vs narrow, length 2.6 x width), the very differently shaped gnathopod 2 and the short, strongly curved, smooth pereopod dactyls (vs toothed dactyls). Dautzenbergia concavipalma sp. nov. is differentiated from D. dentata (Chevreux, 1919) in the broader propodus of gnathopod 1, length 1.7 x width (vs 2.1 x width), the broader basis of pereopods 5–7, basis of pereopod 7 length 1.4 x width, posteroventral lobe broadly rounded (vs 1.8 x width, posteroventral lobe narrowly rounded), and the much shorter and broader telson, length 1.4 x width, incised one-sixth (vs 2.1 x width and widely cleft, greater than one-quarter). From D. grandimana (Chevreux, 1887), our species differs in the smooth pereopod dactyls (vs toothed), the very differently shaped gnathopod 2 and the much shorter and broader telson, length 1.4 x width (vs 2.1 x width). Lastly, D. concavipalma sp. nov. differs from D. megacheir (Walker, 1897) in the broader, subacute distal end of coxa 1 (vs very acutely pointed coxa 1), the different shape of gnathopod 2, the epimeral plate 3 with the posterodistal angle very weakly pointed (vs with a strong tooth at posterodistal corner) and the much shorter and broad telson, length 1.4 x width, incised one-sixth (vs 2.1 x width and cleft, widely, about one-quarter).</p> <p>The peculiar, comb-like structure that we discovered on the inner margin of the distal third of the mandibular palp, article 3 (see Fig. 5) appears to be also shown by Griffiths (1977) for Dautzenbergia grandimana (see Fig. 3, p. 111). Unfortunately, he did not mention this structure and as far as we know, it has never been reported on. It is a difficult structure to observe due to its small size and the palp D3 setae of the inner margin cover it, so may be easily overlooked. The function of this serrated section of the palp is not known, but perhaps it is related to feeding/ grooming or possibly the structure plays a role in the coral relationship. It is unlikely to be related to mating, as the form is present in both males and females. Whether this morphological character is present in all Dautzenbergia species is unknown and until all the mandibles are examined carefully in these species, this question remains unresolved.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E91F43BD19FFEAFF68FE0CFECB79A0	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
