Abstract

The new species Batea aldebaranae from the coast of Belize is described and distinguished from the similar species Batea cuspidata (Shoemaker, 1926) and Batea carinata (Shoemaker, 1926). Characteristic for the new species are: additional set of dorsolateral teeth on pleonites 1–2; pereopod 1 second article small, scale-like; propodus of pereopod 7 elongate, dactylus shortened and telson shallowly cleft.
