Hirondellea sindhusagar (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Lysianassoidea), a new deepwater scavenger species from the Indian Ocean, with a key to the genus Hirondellea
The amphipod genus Hirondellea Chevreux, 1889 is a cosmopolitan largely bathyal genus. This paper adds a new
species from the bathyal Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean, based on material collected by baited traps at 1182, 1184 and 1864
m off the coast of Pakistan. The species can be distinguished from the most closely allied species, Hirondellea
brevicaudata (Chevreux, 1910) by the subacute lateral head lobes, the very weakly cleft telson, and characters of the
mouthparts. A key to the ten species in the genus is provided.

Abstract
The amphipod genus Hirondellea Chevreux, 1889 is a cosmopolitan largely bathyal genus. This paper adds a new
species from the bathyal Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean, based on material collected by baited traps at 1182, 1184 and 1864
m off the coast of Pakistan. The species can be distinguished from the most closely allied species, Hirondellea
brevicaudata (Chevreux, 1910) by the subacute lateral head lobes, the very weakly cleft telson, and characters of the
mouthparts. A key to the ten species in the genus is provided.
