A new species and first record of the genus<i>Nuuanu</i>(Amphipoda, Hadzioidea, Melitidae) from Brazilian waters

The family Nuuanuidae Lowry and Myers, 2013 is first reported from Korean waters by the discovery of Nuuanu paracyclodactyla sp. nov. and Parvipalpus gen. nov., erected with the description of Parvipalpus holocaudatus sp. nov., along with their detailed descriptions and illustrations. The monotypic genus, Parvipalpus gen. nov., is characterized by the bi-articulate mandibular palp, the uni-articulate outer ramus of uropod 3, and no cleft telson. The new species, Nuuanu paracyclodactyla sp. nov., is very similar to Gammarella cyclodactyla (Hirayama, 1978) in the peculiar shape of propodus and dactylus on gnathopod 2 in mature males, but the former is distinguished readily by the absence of dorsal keels on the pleons and urosomite 1. New keys to genera of this family and to species of the genus Nuuanu are provided.

This is the second species of Dulichiella recorded from South Atlantic and Brazilian waters.
