Paralimnadia centenaria, Timms & Rogers, 2020

Timms, Brian V. & Rogers, D. Christopher, 2020, Fig. 5 in Paralbunea dayriti, Zoological Studies (Zool. Stud.) 59 (38), pp. 1-10 : 6

Paralimnadia centenaria comb. nov.

= Eulimnadia centenaria Timms 2016a: 365–367 , Figs. 3H, I , 8

Comments: This is another species without a true spiniform subcercopodal process, but has a rounded protrusion instead. Among the 11 species of Australian Eulimnadia described in Timms (2016a), its metrics are distinctly different with a cercopod spine at 56% of the cercopod length, and 12 antennomeres per flagellum. The sex ratio in the only collection available is 12 males to 26 females, an indeterminate ratio but less likely to characterise Eulimnadia than Paralimnadia . It lacks a hamulus but this is not diagnostic. Unfortunately, its amplexus position is unknown.
