Abstract

A new species of the genus Michelea Kensley & Heard, 1991, M. takeda, from the Beibu Gulf (Tonkin Gulf), northern South China Sea, is described and illustrated. The new species is closely allied to M. leura (Poore & Griffin, 1979) but differs markedly in its wider rostrum, the lower margin of the propodus of pereopod 1 being distinctly convex and the shorter uropodal endopod. This genus is recorded for the first time from Chinese waters.
