CRUSTACEA COLLECTED BY THE MISSION CORINDON II IN THE MAKASSAR STRAIT , INDONESIA by

Seventeen species of Stomatopoda belonging to five families have been collected in the Strait of Makassar, Indonesia during the Franco-Indonesian mission "CORINDON II". Four species of the family Squillidae: Kempina mikado, Lenisquilla spinosa, Oratosquilla imperialis, and O. ornata are for the first time reported to exist in the Indonesian waters.


INTRODUCTION
Five families of stomatopod Crustacea comprising of seventeen species have recently been collected in the Makassar Strait, Indonesia.Two species which were described by HANSEN (1926) collected during the Siboga Expedition have been rediscovered, they are: Coronidopsis bicuspis which was collected in the northern entrance of Buton Strait, southeast Sulawesi, and Eurysquilloides sibogae which was collected in the Timor Sea, south of Timor Island.The presence of four species which so far have never been reported from Indonesian waters enriched the number of the Indonesian stomatopod species.AH the four newly recorded species belong to the family Squillidae, they are: Kempina mikado, Lenisquilla spinosa, Oratosquilla imperialis and O. ornata.These species were known only from the northern part of Indonesian waters with the exception of K. mikado which was also known from western Indian Ocean.
All the measurements in this work are given in millimeters, indices following MANNING (1969).
The study of this material was carried out in the Laboratoire de Zoologie (Arthropodes), Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris.
The authors would like to express their gratitute to Prof. J. Forest for giving access to study the collection and to Drs A. Crosnier, D. Guinot, and M. de St-Laurent for giving freedom to use their personal libraries, and to Mme J. Semblat for her help in the literatures.The present study was made into reality through the fellowship awarded to the first author (M.K.M.) by the French government in relation with the Cooperation Franco-Indonesian in Oceanology.

LopkosquMa tiwarii Blumstein 1974
Squilla lata, Kep, 1913: 37 -39, pi. 2, fig. 24 (non Squilla lata Brooks, 1886).Remarks.-The specimens agree in almost every detail with the description of BLUMSTEIN (1970) differing only in the number of submedian denticles of telson which is only one at each side of median fissure in the large specimens and in the small specimen one side with one denticle and the other side with two denticles.In the smallest specimen an indication of median elevation exists on the rostral plate resembling an obsolete carina.Previous Indonesian records.-None.The present record is a new Indonesian record.
Remarks.-Oratosquilla ornata Manning, 1971 was described from a single female specimen collected in the South China Sea.The species belongs to the gonypetes-group of the imperialis complex in having six teeth on the raptorial dactylus a»nd the absence of spine on inferodistal angle on outer face of merus of raptorial claw.The present specimen has.six and seven teeth at each raptorial dactylus; smaller cornea (CI 492); and more spines on abdominal carinae (formulation is as follows: 5 -6 , 3-6, 1-6, 1 -5 ) , Previous Indonesian records.-None.The species was only known from its type locality, the South China Sea, off Hongkong in 112 m depth, in sand, green mud bottom (MANNING 1971).The present record is new for Indonesia showing the species southward geographical distribution.

Oratosquilla subtilis Manning 1978
Oratosquilla subtilis Manning, 1978b: 33-34, fig.Remarks.-Oratosquilla subtilis Manning, 1978 belongs to the gomjpetesgroup of the gonypetes-comiplex.The present specimen agree in most detail with Manning's description but having relatively smaller cornea (CI 452) which is due to its larger size.Previous Indonesian records.-Oratosquilla subtilis has been previously reported from Indonesia (MANNING 1978b).
, d. Material -CORIDON II, Station 216, 96 m: 1 ♀ 34 mm (both claws missing) (LON.Cat.no.S 2526).Remarks.-The present specimen could be identifeid as Coronidopsis bicuspis Hansen, 1926 sharing all characters except that the carinae on anteroventral surface of telson do not terminate into spine.MANNING & GARCIA (1982) separate C bicuspis from C. andamanensis Makarov, 1976 by the absence of spined anteroventral carinae on telson.We do not see any other character distinguishing the present specimen from C. bicuspis and therefore we incline to regard it as bicuspis.
