Abstract

A new species of the pontoniine shrimp genus Eupontonia Bruce, 1971. E. oahu sp. nov., from the Hawai’ian island of Oahu, is described and illustrated. Eupontonia oahu is the second species of the genus and was found in association with Pocillopora meandrina L., confirming the association of this genus with scleractinian corals.
