A new palaemonid shrimp genus, Ngankeecaris gen. nov. is established for two western Pacific species, Periclimenes acanthimerus Bruce, 2006 and P. dardanicola Bruce & Okuno, 2006 (type species). The present new genus can be distinguished from other marine palaemonid genera by the presence of the short transvers rows of spinulate tubercles on the ventral surfaces of ischium, merus, carpus and palm of the second pereiopod. The type species, N. dardanicola (Bruce & Okuno, 2006) comb. nov. is recorded from the Ryukyu Islands, southwestern Japan for the first time.
一个新的长臂虾科虾属——Ngankeecaris属被建立,用于包含两种西太平洋的物种,即2006年的尖刺异指虾Periclimenes acanthimerus Bruce和2006年的达旦异指虾Periclimenes dardanicola Bruce & Okuno(模式种)。这个新属可通过第二对步足的坐节、长节、腕节和掌节腹面存在短的具刺瘤横向排与其他海洋长臂虾科属区分开来。模式种,达旦Ngankeecaris dardanicola(Bruce & Okuno,2006)新组合,首次在日本西南部的琉球群岛被记录。
