Abstract
    Mysid shrimps of the genus Heteromysis surprisingly appeared in coral reef exhibition tanks and connected filtration tanks of the public aquarium center Haus des Meeres, Vienna, Austria. This material is first described here as Heteromysis (Olivemysis) domusmaris sp. nov. based on a specific set of five flagellate spines (modified setae) on the antennular trunk in both sexes. Besides features typical of the subgenus Olivemysis, the new species is also characterized by features of the antennae, eyes, rostrum, third thoracic endopod, by modifications of male pleopods 3, 4, and by spine patterns on the endopods of uropods and telson. The most similar species are known from (sub) tropical waters of the SW-Pacific, to a lesser extent also from the Indian Ocean and Atlantic. Short notes are given on color, foregut, larval morphology, and swimming behavior. Locomotion and respiratory movements are documented by video clips in the supplement.
