Abstract

New finds of nine species of Crangonidae shrimp are described, and new data on the geographical range and bathymetry are presented. The longitudinal carinae and spines on segment VI of the abdomen are quite varied in the species studied. There are four combinations of their morphotypes. The structures of pleopod II of the male also demonstrate two combinative variants.
