Two New Apseudomorphan Species (Crustacea: Tanaidacea: Metapseudidae) From Mo'Orea Island (Society Islands, French Polynesia) With Taxonomic Keys

Previous information on the taxonomy and distribution of the crustacean order Tanaidacea occurring within the widely-dispersed Polynesian Archipelago has been limited to four nominal species, Apseudes rikiteanus Nobili, Apseudes seurati Nobili, Zeuxo seurati (Nobili) and Tanzanapseudes polynesiensis Muller. Based on specimens collected between 2009 and 2011 from coastal waters of Mo`orea Island (Society Islands, French Polynesia), two new metapseudid tanaidaceans, Apseudomorpha drummi and Cryptapseudes mamua, are described. Keys to the identification of species currently placed within the genera Apseudomorpha Gutu and Cryptapseudes Bacescu are provided.
