Neocallichirus angelikae Sakai, 2000: 92–97 View in CoL , figs 1–3.— Sakai,

2005: 176.— Sakai, 2011: 453.

Material examined. Australia, SA, Long Beach , Coffin Bay, 34.62° S, 135.45° E GoogleMaps , NMV J59652 About NMV (3 males, 6 females, 14–20 mm) .

Diagnosis. Carapace anterolateral lobe acute, small. Antenna peduncle as long as antennule peduncle. Eyestalk distal lobes rounded, not differentiated from eyestalk proper. Major cheliped merus lower margin with narrow straight dentate blade over proximal three-quarters; palm tuberculate on lateral and distal mesial faces in larger individuals; fixed finger cutting edge concave, denticulate over proximal half; dactylus cutting edge with notch at midpoint (male). Uropodal endopod posterior margin decidedly oblique, curving continuously to convex anterior margin. Telson clearly tapering from subproximal width to rounded corner between well-defined posterolateral margin and convex-straight posterior margin. Maximum cl. 20 mm.

Distribution. Southwestern Australian Shelf ( Australia, SA [type locality: Ceduna]).

Remarks. Sakai (2000) based N. angelikae on a single small individual said to be a female. The pleopod 1 illustrated ( Sakai, 2000, fig. 3G) is from a male; pleopod 2 (fig. 3H) shows two endopodal articles with a small appendix interna, an arrangement not seen elsewhere in the genus. Here, male and female pleopods 1 and 2 are figured from a collection of larger individuals collected near the type locality (fig. 7b–e). Pereopod 3 is illustrated for the first time (fig. 7a).
