Bannereus chani sp. nov. (Caridea: Alpheidae) is described based on a single female specimen collected off south-eastern Taiwan, at a depth of 301-356 m, being the second only species in the genus Bannereus Bruce, 1988. The ovigerous female holotype of the new species differs from the female holotype of B. anomalus Bruce 1988, the type species of the genus, by a series of important morphological characters, for instance, on the major cheliped and third pereiopod, strongly indicating that they represent two distinct species. The non-type male specimen tentatively identified as B. anomalus by Bruce (1988) may well belong to the new species, since it differs from the holotype of B. anomalus essentially by the same criteria as the female holotype of B. chani sp. nov. In addition, B. anomalus is newly recorded from the New Caledonian side of the Coral Sea.
新种查氏班氏虾（十足目：鼓虾科）是根据在台湾东南部301 - 356米深处采集的一个雌性标本描述的，它是1988年班氏虾属的第二个物种。新种的抱卵雌虫正模标本与该属模式种——1988年的异形班氏虾的雌虫正模标本相比，有一系列重要形态特征不同，例如在大螯足和第三步足上，这强烈表明它们代表两个不同的物种。布鲁斯（1988年）初步鉴定为异形班氏虾的非模式雄虫标本很可能属于新种，因为它与异形班氏虾正模标本的差异，基本上与新种查氏班氏虾雌虫正模标本相同。此外，异形班氏虾在珊瑚海新喀里多尼亚一侧为新记录。
