An unusual species of the genus Periclimenaeus Borradaile, 1915 (Crustacea: Decapoda: Palaemonidae Pontoniinae) from Heron Island, Queensland, Australia, collected by Dr Niel Bruce in 1979, is described and illustrated. Periclimenaeus denticulodigitus sp. nov., an ascidian associate was collected from coral reef at 7.0 m and presents some interesting new features. It increases to 17 the number of Periclimenaeus known from Heron Island, Queensland, and to 28 the number of species known from Australia. The new species has the second pereiopod fingers minutely denticulate and unique to the genus.
描述并图示了一种不寻常的围胸虾属（Periclimenaeus）物种，该物种于1979年由尼尔·布鲁斯博士在澳大利亚昆士兰州的赫伦岛采集，属于1915年博勒代尔所定的围胸虾属（甲壳纲：十足目：长臂虾科：鳃指虾亚科）。新物种围胸虾属细齿指虾（Periclimenaeus denticulodigitus sp. nov.）是一种与海鞘共生的虾类，采自7.0米深处的珊瑚礁，具有一些有趣的新特征。它使昆士兰州赫伦岛已知的围胸虾属物种数量增加到17种，使澳大利亚已知的物种数量增加到28种。该新物种的第二对步足指节有微小的细齿，这在该属中是独一无二的。
