description: <i>Paraleucothoe novaehollandiae</i> (Haswell, 1879) <i>Leucothoe novaehollandiae</i> Haswell, 1879b: 329, 330, pl. 20, fig. 2. — Haswell, 1882: 250. —Della Vale, 1893: 656 (lists as uncertain species). — Stebbing, 1910b: 636. —J.L. Barnard, 1972b: 262, figs 153–155. <i>Leucothoe brevidigitata</i> Miers, 1884: 313, 314, pl. 34, fig. A. —Della Vale, 1893: 656 (lists as uncertain species). — Stebbing, 1906: 167. — Stebbing, 1910b: 636. <i>Paraleucothoe novaehollandiae</i> Lowry &amp; Stoddart, 2003: 157. <b>Type locality and specimens.</b> Port Jackson, New South Wales, 33º51'S 151º16'E. Holotype, sex unknown, 19 mm (reported as 0.75 inch); syntypes (probable), 3 specimens, AM P3471 (according to Springthorpe &amp; Lowry, 1994). <b>Material examined.</b> No material available for examination. Diagnosis based on description by Haswell, 1879 and J.L. Barnard, 1972. <b>Diagnosis</b> (sex unknown). Truncate anterior head margin with anterodistal concavity. Antenna 2 shorter than antenna 1. Gnathopod 1 propodus truncate. Gnathopod 2 carpus short; propodus palm sub-rectangular with four major tubercles. Live specimens are reported as light pink in color. <b>Note.</b> Barnard (1972) illustrates heavily setose coxae and posterior margins of gnathopod 2 and pereopods 3, 5–6. The type material should be examined for the presence of setae and compared with Barnard’s material to determine if they are the same species. <b>Female</b> (sexually dimorphic characters). Unknown. <b>Habitat.</b> Coral mud; 0–15 m. <b>Host.</b> Ascidian: <i>Pyura spinifera</i> (Quoy &amp; Gaimard, 1834). <b>Distribution.</b> Pacific Ocean: New South Wales, Australia (Haswell 1879b; Haswell 1882), Torres Strait, Thursday Island (Miers 1884), Victoria to Perth, Australia (J.L. Barnard 1972).
