Watsons Bay, New South Wales, Australia (~ 33 º 51 ' S 151 º 17 ' E).	en	Coleman, Charles Oliver (2009): Phliantidae *. Zootaxa 2260 (1): 766-770, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.2260.1.42, URL: https://www.biotaxa.org/Zootaxa/article/view/zootaxa.2260.1.42
07010B3FFFB7BB6AFF56035B7BA1F995.taxon	description	Description. Based on male, 2.6 mm, AM P 71365. Head and body. Body depressed, dorsal keel, coxal plates splayed. Cuticle with pits and microtrichs. Pereonite 1 with 2 dorsal shallow carinae, pereonites 2 - 6 and pleonites 1 - 2 with hump-like shallow carinae. Head with protruding eyes and short rostrum. Antenna 1 peduncular article 1 dorsolaterally expanded into subacute tooth; article 2 with a shorter pointed tooth; flagellum consisting of only one article with long aesthetascs apically. Antenna 2 with apical bundle of aesthetascs on second flagellar article; slender, reaching middle of article 2 of antenna 1 in lateral view. Mandible without palp, incisor multidentate, molar spine-like. Lower lip with wide lobes. Maxilla 1 inner plate simple; palp short, uniarticulate. Maxilla 2 inner and outer plates basally fused. Maxillipeds inner plate subrectangular with 3 nodulose setae apically; outer plate longer than palp; palp 3 - articulate. Pereon. Coxae 1 – 4 with distal row of biserrate setae. Gnathopod 1 coxa anterior margin slightly excavate; basis shorter than coxa; ischium longer than merus; carpus slightly expanded distally; propodus medial face with transverse row of stout plumose setae and posterodistal robust setae; dactylus falcate, with simple seta on inner curvature. Gnathopod 2 similar to gnathopod 1, but coxa with anterior margin straight and row of medial propodus setae not developed. Pereopod 3 coxa wider than that of gnathopod 2, basis and ischium similar, but merus and to a lesser extent the carpus drawn out into an anteromarginal rounded lobe; propodus and dactylus as for gnathopod 2. Pereopod 4 coxa with posteromarginal subacute lobe; basis to dactylus as for pereopod 3. Pereopods 5 and 6 coxa bilobed, more than 2 x longer than deep; basis expanded into rounded posterior lobe; ischium long; merus with posterodistal rounded lobe; carpus short, subrectangular; propodus and dactylus as in preceding appendages. Pereopod 7 basis posteroproximal margin rounded, constricted and quadrate distally; ischium to dactylus similar to preceding appendages, except for a more extended merus lobe. Pleon. Urosomite 1 longest. Uropod 1 outer ramus slightly shorter than inner, both rami with one short rounded robust seta apically. Uropod 2 peduncle very short, inner ramus surpasses outer ramus, both rami with one terminal rounded robust seta. Uropod 3 hidden below telson, rami lacking. Telson wider than long, subtriangular with rounded apex. Female (sexually dimorphic characters). Based on female, AM P 78903. Wider body. Processes on peduncular articles 1 – 2 of antenna weakly developed. Habitat. Found in between sponges.	en	Coleman, Charles Oliver (2009): Phliantidae *.

07010B3FFFB7BB6AFF56035B7BA1F995.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The description agrees well with that of J. L. Barnard (1972) who discussed the differences of his specimen from the west coast of Australia from Stebbing´s (1899) original description. The only deviations from Barnard´s description concern antenna 2, which appears longer in relation to antenna 1, and the telson, which is shorter in the material studied herein compared to Barnard´s and Stebbing´s illustrations. Hirayama (1987) described the subspecies P. t. japonicus, however, due to many differences to the Australian material, it seems very probable that it is a separate species.	en	Coleman, Charles Oliver (2009): Phliantidae *.
