Remarks. Necallianassa was erected for three species from the Atlantic and Mediterranean ( Heard and Manning, 1998), all with a distal spine on the anterior margin of the uropodal endopod. Necallianassa acanthura (Caroli, 1946) and N. berylae Heard and Manning, 1998 possess a strong spine at the posterolateral margin of the telson and another at the base of the longitudinal ridge on the uropodal exopod. Necallianassa truncata (Giard and Bonnier, 1890) differs from these two in that the uropodal endopodal spine is the only one but it is much smaller than in the other two species ( Ngoc-Ho, 2003). Here, a new species from Madagascar in the Indian Ocean is described.
