Abstract
A new species of pontoniine shrimp, Cuapetes takedai sp. nov., is described and illustrated on the basis of five specimens from Suruga Bay, Honshu, Japan. The new species is closely related to C. nilandensis (Borradaile) on account of the lack of meral and ischial distoventral teeth on the second pereiopod and the presence of elongate distoventral spines on the propodi of the ambulatory pereiopods, but can be readily distinguished from the latter species by the lack of a supraorbital spine and the carpus of the second pereiopod being considerably longer than the palm. The new species is associated with the hydroid, Lytocarpia niger (Nutting) and an unidentified gorgonarian.

This volume honours an outstanding Japanese carcinologist, Masatsune Takeda (National Museum of Nature and Science, Tokyo, Japan), on the occasion of his 70th birthday. Since 1967, Takeda-sensei (“sensei” is an honourific term for teacher or senior scientist in Japan) has devoted his life to studying the taxonomy of Brachyura and has published 323 papers over a long and illustrious career, and in the process, described 231 new taxa. In this volume, a total of 24 papers have been put together by 40 of his friends and colleagues to honour him. These papers cover a wide diversity of topics on the taxonomy, larval biology, palaeontology and ecology of Brachyura, Caridea, Stenopodidea, Astacidea, Axiidea, Anomura, Amphipoda, Isopoda and Mysida, all groups that Takeda-sensei loved.
