- Abstract
A new species of the deep-sea porter crab genus, Gordonopsis Guinot & Richer de Forges, 1995 (Homolidae), is described from the Andaman Sea in the eastern Indian Ocean. Gordonopsis has previously been represented by G. profundorum (Alcock & Anderson, 1899) from the western Indian Ocean and G. pacifica Takeda & Suyama, 2019 from Japan. Gordonopsis robusta, new species, differs markedly from G. profundorum and G. pacifica in its more globose carapace, more tomentose body, and proportionately shorter ambulatory meri, notably that of the last pair of legs which just reach the gastric groove on the carapace.
