description
Description. Body with calcified integument. Length 4.6 mm. Carapace 0.39 entire body length, twice as long as high, with parallel row of 4 dorsal small tubercles on posterior extremity, a ridge starting behind the pseudorostrum obliquely going backwards medially reaching the lower margin, antennal notch marked, ocular lobe minute, eyeless, few fine setae on integument, smooth lower margin. Antenna 1 short and robust, articles of peduncle progressively shorter, main flagellum 3 - articulate, longer than distal article of peduncle, accessory flagellum minute, uniarticulate. Antenna 2 of with several groups of setae on outer margins of last 2 segments of peduncle. Maxilliped 2 with strong long pappose seta on inner distal corner of basis and carpus, propodus second longest article, 2 plumose setae on outer margin, 1 st tooth of dactylus as long as 3 rd one, 5 th tooth 1.3 times as long as 3 rd tooth, 1 st and 2 nd teeth enlarged, separated up to basis. Maxilliped 3 basis longer than rest of articles combined, with 2 teeth on inner distal corner, 2 long plumose setae on outer distal corner, merus second longest article, with 3 plumose setae on inner margin, 3 teeth and plumose seta on outer margin of merus and carpus, propodus longer than carpus, dactylus 0.7 of propodus Pereopod 1 basis less than half as long as appendage, ischium 2 nd longest article, merus as long as propodus, carpus shorter than propodus, longer than dactylus, dactylus with stout terminal long seta. Pereopod 2 basis shorter than rest of articles combined, plumose seta on inner distal corner of basis and merus, carpus 1.4 times as long as merus, 2 stout setae on distal inner corner of carpus, dactylus 3.7 times as long as propodus, with long terminal plumose seta. Pereopods 3 and 4 with progressively shorter basis, longer than rest of articles combined, dactylus fused with terminal seta. Pereopod 5 with shorter basis and longer carpus, 3.7 times as long as merus, dactylus fused with terminal seta. Exopods on maxilliped 3 and pereopods 1 – 4. Uropod peduncle 2.7 times as long as pleonite 6, with plumose setae on inner margin, 2.4 times as long as exopod, endopod broken off.

diagnosis
Diagnosis. Carapace with 2 dorsal parallel rows of 4 small tubercles on posterior extremity. Lateral small spines on pereon and pleon. Maxilliped 2 with 1 st tooth of dactylus as long as the 3 rd one, 5 th tooth 1.3 times as long as 3 rd tooth, 1 st and 2 nd teeth enlarged. Maxilliped 3 with teeth on outer margin of merus and carpus. Ischium of pereopod 1 2 nd longest article. Pereopod 2 with dactylus 3.7 times as long as propodus. Carpus of 5 th pereopod 3.7 times as long as merus. Dactylus of pereopods 3 – 5 fused with its terminal seta. Uropod peduncle 2.7 times as long as pleonite 6, 2.4 times as long as exopod.
discussion
Remarks. P. bonnieri Calman, 1906 from the Mediterranean and eastern Pacific (Petrescu, 2000) share with P. tasmaniensis a carapace with spines on the posterior extremity and a minute ocular lobe. The new species has fewer tubercles / spines on the posterior extremity of the carapace, no row of spines near the lower margin of the carapace, dactylar teeth of a different shape, maxilliped 3 without strong teeth on the inner margin of the merus, pereopod 1 with its ischium longer than the propodus, and longer uropods.
