(SL 6.9 mm), 20 mi (37 km) off Wollongong, 238- 274 m, 30 Jul 1968, AM P17613. Diagnosis. Shield (Fig. la) convex in lateral view. Rostrum broadly rounded, with short longitudinal dorsal ridge. Ocular peduncles more than half length of shield, widening distally. Ocular acicles terminating in strong spine. Antennular peduncles exceeding distal margin of corneae by slightly more than length of ultimate segment. Antennal peduncles exceeding distal margin of corneae by about 0.3 or less length of 5th segment; 2nd segment with dorsolateral distal angle produced, terminating in strong spine (occasionally bifid), mesial margin with small spine at dorsodistal angle. Antennal acicles exceeding distal margin of corneae by as much as 0.3 length of acicle; mesial margin armed with 5 to 7 spines on proximal half. Sternite of 3rd maxilliped with small spine on each side of midline. Right chela (Fig. 1c) with dorsal surface unarmed, dactyl with row of spines on mesial margin; palm with mesial and lateral margins well delimited by row of often strong spines (usually double row on mesial margin). Ambulatory legs (Fig. 1 d-g) with meri shorter on left side than on right; merus of 2nd pereopod 2.5 times as long as dorsoventral height; merus of 3rd twice as long as dorsoventral height. Fourth pereopod (Fig. lh) with propodus elongate, length of dorsal margin subequal to greatest height; propodal rasp with 1 row of rounded scales. Anterior lobe of sternite of 3rd pereopods unarmed, setose. Uropods and telson (Fig. li) strongly asymmetrical; terminal margin of posterior lobes armed with strong, often curved corneous spines. Distribution. Western Pacific: Indonesia, China Sea, Japan, and Australia. Depth: 40 to 550 m. Affinities. This species most closely resembles <i>Strobopagurus gracilipes</i> (A. Milne Edwards, 1891); however, the two can be separated using several characters. The spines on the mesial margin of the antennal acicles and the lateral and mesial margins of the right chela are much stronger in S. <i>sibogae</i> than in S. <i>graeilipes.</i> The dorsoventral height of the meri of the 2nd and 3rd pereopods are greater in S. <i>sibogae</i> than in S. <i>graeilipes</i> (the merus length/height ratio of the 2nd and 3rd pereopods is 2.0 and 2.5 respectively in the former, and 3.0 and 3.5 respectively in the latter). The propodus of the 4th pereopod is about as high as long in S. <i>sibogae,</i> whereas in S. <i>graeilipes</i> the propodus is distinctly higher than long (1.5 times as high as long, length measured dorsally).
