Yaldwyn (National Museum of New Zealand) has kindly supplied most of the following information on the closely related species of Pasiphaea, from an as yet unpublished review of the genus by him and F. A. Chace Jr (Smithsonian Institution). The combination of three characters, viz. the distally forked telson, carinate carapace and abdomen, and basis of the second pereiopod ventrally spined, places the present species in a group with four previously described species. These are P. multidentata Esmark, P. tarda Kroyer, P. rath- bunae Stebbing, and P. barnardi Yaldwyn. The rostral shape of P. meiringnaudei differs from these four, but comes closest to P. barnardi. The finger-to-palm ratio of the first and second pereiopods, however, diners from Yaldwyn's species where the fingers of the first pereiopod are subequal to the palm and the fingers of the second pereiopod are distinctly longer than the palm. P. meiringnaudei overlaps with P. tarda (as P. princeps in Kemp 1910, pi. 4 (figs 1-7)) in the spine counts of the first and second pereiopods, but differs markedly in the rostral shape and in the relative lengths of the thoracic appendages. The species is named for the R/V Meiring Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original South African Museum.
