A New Species and New Records of Stomatopoda From Hawaii

“…-The present series of H. insignis includes the largest known specimens of the species and agrees in most respects with published accounts (Kemp, 1911(Kemp, , 1913Manning, 1991;Moosa, 1991;Ahyong, 2001). The spination of the dactyli of the raptorial claws is within the reported range, i.e., seven or eight teeth, and the posterolateral margins of AS(3)4-5 are armed.…”

“…Specimens of A. maxima are uniform, exhibiting typical, allometric variation in relative eye size. In several specimens, the apices of the lateral processes of TS6-7 are minutely bi d as in Harpiosquilla annandalei (Kemp, 1911).…”

“…Lysiosquilla insignis Kemp, 1911: 94-95;1913: 126-128, pl (Kemp, 1911). A-F, female 62 mm, USNM 304676.…”

Reproductive Morphology and Biology of Male and Female Mantis Shrimp (Stomatopoda: Squillidae)

“…Although Kemp (1911) reported that male stomatopods transfer spermatophores to the female, other researchers have reported that, instead, the sperm of mantis shrimp are embedded in mucopolysacchride cement that forms a sperm cord, which is transferred to the female (Komai, 1920;Deecaraman and Subramoniam, 1980b). The present study confirms that a sperm cord is released from the penes of males.…”
