(Figs 4, 29. 34)
Female microptera: Body and femora brown, tergites VI–VIII yellow medially; tibiae and tarsi clear yellow; antennal segment I–II and IV–VIII brown, III yellow, IV pale at base.
Antennal segment VIII slightly constricted at base (Fig. 29), IV–VII with narrow pedicel; III and IV each with three sense cones. Head longer than wide, ocelli absent, cheeks with weak setae (Fig. 4); vertex weakly sculptured; po setae long and capitate; maxillary pillars short, about 35 microns with the levers even shorter and curving dorsally, stylets wide apart, retracted anterior to occipital ridge. Pronotum transverse, without sculpture except near posterior margin; major setae capitate, am setae scarcely 0.5 as long as aa setae. Mesonotum transversely reticulate, lateral setae capitate. Metanotum without sculpture medially (Fig. 34), major setae acute. Fore tarsal tooth shorter than 0.5 of tarsal width. Fore wing lobe with two capitate setae. Prosternal ferna almost meeting medially, mesopraesternum eroded to three small sclerites. Pelta sub-quadrate and reticulate (Fig. 34); tergites III–VII with no sculpture medially, with 2 pairs of small straight wing-retaining setae, lateral major setae long and capitate; setae S1 and S2 on IX long and capitate.
Measurements (holotype female microptera in microns). Body length 1710. Head, length 185; width 160; po setae 55; longest cheek seta 10. Pronotum, length 130; width 230; major setae—am 27, aa 55, ml 50, epim 55, pa 45. Mesonotal lateral seta 35. Fore wing lobe 50. Tergite IX setae S1 80, S2 75. Tube length 110.

description: Waldeckiinae subfam. nov.
Type genus. Waldeckia Chevreux, 1906.
Generic composition. Monogeneric.
Diagnosis. Antenna 1 with well developed callynophore in both sexes. Antenna 2 of adult male longer than the body, peduncular articles 4 and 5 enlarged; antenna 2 of female subequal in length to or slightly longer than antenna 1, without peduncular brush setae, geniculate between peduncular articles 3 and 4. Mandibular molar a setose tongue with a vestigial distal triturating patch; palp attached proximally or extremely proximally. Maxilla 1 with 8/3 setal-tooth arrangement with broad setal-teeth and ST-7 slightly displaced from ST-6. Maxilla 2 without oblique setal row. Gnathopod 1 usually parachelate, occasionally subchelate. Pereopod 4 coxa with very large posteroventral lobe. Uropod 3 rami with plumose setae in both sexes, outer ramus 2-articulate. Telson deeply cleft.
Remarks. Waldeckia is an enigmatic genus in the Lysianassidae with affinities to the subfamily Tryphosinae, and to a lesser extent the family Uristidae. The well-developed callynophore of antenna 1 in both sexes is comparable to the tryphosines, as is the antenna 2 with brush setae. The 8/3 setal-tooth arrangement of maxilla 1 is similar to that of the tryphosines in that it has a broad ST-6, ST-7 with ST-7 slightly displaced from ST-6, but ST-B – ST-D have moved down the medial face similar to uristids, eurytheneids and some hirondelleids (most obvious in W. australiensis and W. nitens). The mandibular molar is more similar to the setose tongue of uristids, hirondelleids and eurytheneids with a vestigial distal triturating patch. It is, however, unlike the columnar and strongly triturating molar of the tryphosines. Almost uniquely among the lysianassids, gnathopod 1 is always parachelate (except in W. warreen sp. nov. in which it is subchelate), a character only shared with Falklandia reducta (Schellenberg, 1931) in the Tryphosinae. Uropod 3 has plumose setae and the telson is deeply cleft, characteristic of both tryphosines and uristids. Waldeckia shares no characters with lysianassine amphipods.

Antennal segment VIII broadly joined to VII (Fig. 31), only 2 sense cones on each of III and IV. Head slightly longer than wide (cf. Fig. 5), without ocelli or reticulation; cheeks with one pair of small stout setae; po setae long and capitate; mouth cone rounded; maxillary pillars slender and about 40 microns long, maxillary levers rotated medially, stylets retracted anterior to occipital ridge. Pronotum transverse, without sculpture, major setae capitate, although am setae short. Mesonotum with weak transverse reticulation, lateral setal pair capitate. Metanotum without sculpture on anterior half, with longitudinal sculptured ridges on posterior half, major setal pair finely pointed. Fore tarsus with small tooth. Prosternal ferna not meeting medially, mesopraesternum eroded to 2 sclerites. Pelta broadly rounded, sculpture faint; tergites with 2 pairs of small straight wing-retaining setae; setae S1 and S2 on IX weakly capitate.
Measurements (holotype female aptera in microns). Body length 1350. Head, length 150; width 130; po setae 40. Pronotum, length 100; width 190; major setae—am 10, aa 20, ml 20, epim 25, pa 25. Mesonotal lateral seta 20. Tergite IX setae S1 65, S2 75. Tube length 90. Antennal segments III–VIII length 40, 38, 40, 35, 35, 25.
Male aptera: Small male similar to female; large male with larger fore tarsal tooth and fore tibia with tubercle on inner apex; metanotum more strongly sculptured, posterior ocelli weakly developed (Fig. 5); tergite IX setae S2 short and stout; sternite VIII without a pore plate, but III–V laterally with paired transverse rows of specialised reticulation.
Material studied. Holotype female aptera, Northern Territory, Darwin, Holmes Jungle, from dead branches, 8.v.2014 (LAM 6014).
Paratypes: 2 male apterae taken with holotype.
Comments. As indicated in the key, the colour of the head is unique in this species, and the male has no pore plate on sternite VIII. The longitudinal sculpture on the metanotum is more strongly developed in the large male (Fig. 5) than in the smaller male and female holotype. Similar but weaker sculpture has been noted on the metanotum in large males of norfuki from Norfolk Island. Apart from this, virgulatus is a typical member of the genus, with the stylets scarcely retracted anterior to the occipital ridge, and the fore tibiae of males with a small tubercle on the inner apex.

Type species. Charcotia obesa Chevreux, 1905, by original designation.
Species composition. Waldeckia includes 14 species: W. australiensis (Haswell, 1879b); W. brachycephala Ren, 1998; W. crenulata Pirlot, 1936; W. dempseyae sp. nov.; W. enoei Stephensen, 1931; W. kroyeri (White, 1847b); W. nitens (Haswell, 1879a); W. nudum (Imbach, 1967); W. obesa (Chevreux, 1905); W. orchospina (Hirayama, 1986) comb. nov.; W. selayarensis sp. nov.; W. tangaroa sp. nov.; W. tomiokaensis (Hirayama, 1986) comb. nov.; W. warreen sp. nov.
Remarks. The characters separating species are often subtle, particularly the shape of the posterior margin of the basis of pereopod 7 and the relative lengths of the rami on uropods 1–3. Other characters, such as the labrum, the chelation of gnathopod 2, and the posteroventral corner of epimeron 3 have distinctive states.

Types. Holotype, male, 4.1 mm, ASIO 96-CA-003.
Type locality. South China Sea (5°51.0’N 110°23.53’E), 126 m depth.
Diagnostic description. Head lateral cephalic lobe large, rounded. Antenna 1 peduncular article 1 without anterodistal projection. Labrum, epistome and upper lip fused. Mandible palp article 2 anterodistal margin asetose; article 3 with few marginal setae and apical setae. Labium without apical stylets on each lobe. Gnathopod 1 parachelate; basis anterior margin with slender setae; propodus posterior margin smooth. Gnathopod 2 minutely chelate; carpus long; propodus palm obtuse, straight; dactylus fitting palm. Pereopod 6 basis posteroventral margin rounded. Pereopod 7 basis, posterior margin almost straight, minutely crenate, posteroventral margin rounded. Epimeron 3 posteroventral corner subquadrate/narrowly rounded. Urosomite 1 dorsally smooth. Uropod 1 outer ramus slightly longer than inner ramus; uropod 2 outer ramus slightly longer than inner ramus; uropod 3 inner ramus shorter than outer ramus, almost reaching article 2 of outer ramus.
Depth range. 126 m.
Remarks. Waldeckia brachycephala is similar to W. orchospina and W. tomiokaensis from Japan and W. selayarensis sp. nov. from Indonesia. It can be distinguished from W. orchospina by the absence of distolateral stylets on the outer lobes of the labium, from W. tomiokaensis by the relative length of the rami of uropods 1–3 which are distinctly unequal in this species, and from W. selayarensis in having a chelate gnathopod 2.

Waldeckia kroyeri crenulata Pirlot, 1936: 268,?fig. 105A.
Types (by present designation). Lectotype, immature female, ZMA.CRUS.P.9875–9880, Pulu Tongkil, Sulu Archipelago, Philippines (approximately 6°1.0’N 121°50.0’E), 05/07/1899 – 06/07/1899, coralline algae, dredge, 13 m, coll. HMS Siboga (stn 109). Paralectotype, ovigerous female, ZMA.CRUS.P.9873–9874, southern part of Molo Strait, Indonesia (approximately 9°120°E), 19/04/1899, fine sand or hard sand with broken shells and stones, dredge and trawl, 69–91 m, coll. HMS Siboga (stn 51).
Diagnostic description. Head lateral cephalic lobe large, broadly rounded. Antenna 1 peduncular article 1 without anterodistal projection. Labrum, epistome and upper lip fused. Mandible palp article 2 anterodistal margin setose; article 3 with marginal and apical setae. Labium unknown. Gnathopod 1 parachelate; basis anterior margin with slender setae; propodus posterior margin distinctly crenate. Gnathopod 2 subchelate; carpus long; propodus palm transverse, concave; dactylus not fitting palm. Pereopod 6 basis posteroventral margin rounded. Pereopod 7 basis, posterior margin almost straight, minutely serrate, posteroventral margin oblique. Epimeron 3 posteroventral corner subacute/narrowly rounded. Urosomite 1 dorsally smooth. Uropod 1 outer ramus slightly longer than inner ramus; uropod 2 outer ramus slightly longer than inner ramus; uropod 3 biramous, outer ramus slightly longer than inner ramus, inner ramus reaching article 2 of outer ramus.
Depth range. 13– 91 m.
Remarks. Pirlot (1936) attributed the name Waldeckia kroyeri crenulata to three specimens, one female from each Siboga station 109 and station 51, and one male of unknown origin (“sans indication d’origine”). We have examined this original material and conclude that this latter specimen is different from the two females. Pirlot (1936) illustrated only the distal portion of gnathopod 1 for this species. However the illustrated specimen could not be determined from the original material.
Distribution. Indonesia: Sulu Archipelago, Philippines and Molo Strait.

Type locality. Off Nhatrang, Vietnam (12°16.91'N, 109°16.88'E), 18/03/1960, 17 m, coarse brown sand (NAGA Stn 256).
Material examined. 20 specimens, AM P.92567 and 20 specimens, RMBR, SS- 3498 (SW-137) between St Johns and Lazarus Islands, Singapore, baited trap, 25 m depth, N. Bruce & J.K.

Diagnostic description. Head lateral cephalic lobe large, broad, subacute. Antenna 1 peduncular article 1 without anterodistal projection. Labrum, epistome and upper lip fused. Mandible palp article 2 anterodistal margin setose; article 3 with marginal and apical setae. Labium, apical stylets not known. Gnathopod 1 parachelate; basis with slender setae; propodus posterior margin smooth. Gnathopod 2 minutely chelate; carpus long; palm minute, obtuse; dactylus fitting palm. Pereopod 6 basis posteroventral margin rounded. Pereopod 7 basis, slightly rounded, minutely crenate, posteroventral margin oblique. Epimeron 3 posteroventral corner narrowly rounded. Urosomites 1–3 dorsally smooth. Uropod 1 rami subequal in length; uropod 2 rami subequal in length; uropod 3 rami subequal in length, inner ramus reaching article 2 of outer ramus.
Depth range. 17– 25 m.
Remarks. Imbach (1967) originally described W. nudum in the genus Lepidepecreum. When Hirayama & Kikuchi (1980) described W. elephas they did not consider W. nudum. We think that the type of W. nudum is not fully mature (the mandibular palp is weakly setose in comparison to the type of W. elephas), and is a senior synonym of W. elephas. Waldeckia nudum differs from other species in the genus in the smooth posterior margin of the gnathopod 1 propodus in combination with the minutely chelate gnathopod 2 and the oblique posteroventral margin of the basis of pereopod 7.
Distribution. Japan: Tomioka Bay. Vietnam: Nhatrang. Singapore: Singapore Straits. Thailand: Koh Phang, Andaman Sea.

Types. MNHN.
Type locality. Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica: Anvers Island, Biscoe Bay (64°50.0’S, 110 m) and Booth Island.
Diagnostic description. Head lateral cephalic lobe large, broad, subacute. Antenna 1 peduncular article 1 without anterodistal projection. Labrum, epistome and upper lip separate. Mandible palp article 2 anterodistal margin setose; article 3 with marginal and apical setae. Labium without apical stylets on each lobe. Gnathopod 1 parachelate; basis anterior margin with slender setae; propodus posterior margin smooth. Gnathopod 2 minutely subchelate; carpus long; propodus palm transverse, dactylus fitting palm.

Remarks. De Broyer et al. (2007) considered W. arnaudi (Bellan-Santini, 1972) and W. robusta Ren & Huang, 1991 to be a juveniles of W. obesa. We accept this decision. Waldeckia obesa differs from all other species (except W. tangaroa sp. nov.) in having a labrum with separate epistome and upper lip. It also differs from all other species of Waldeckia in having a strong spine above rounded posteroventral corner of epimeron 3. Distribution. Circum-Antarctic.
