Abstract

A new species of crangonid shrimp, Philocheras magnioculus, is described on the basis of a single female specimen from off the island of Panglao, southwest of Bohol, the Philippines. The presence of a sharp lateral tooth on the antennal scale links the new species to eight previously described species, but the structure of the rostrum, very large cornea, and poorly sculptured pleon immediately distinguish it from its relatives. The new species is the third Philocheras known from the Philippines.
