| Abstract |
A partial revision of the pontoniine shrimp genus Periclimenes Costa, 1844, is proposed, with the resurrection of the genus Harpilius Dana, 1852, and the designation of a new genus Kemponia. Three species are now placed in the genus Harpilius. Kemponia is designated to include 24 species of an expanded "Periclimenes grandis species group". Both genera are primarily coral reef species, with Harpilius species obligatory associates of scleractinian corals. The species of Kemponia are predominantly free-living, some as micro-predators. A few species are associates of scleractinian corals. |
