Abstract
    A review of the species of the Glyphocrangon caeca Wood-Mason & Alcock, 1891 group is presented based on samples obtained during French expeditions to the southwestern Pacific and western Indian Ocean, and supplemented with materials deposited in various museums and institutions in the world. Eight species are now recognized in this species group. The two previously described species, G. caeca from the Bay of Bengal and G. cerea Alcock & Anderson, 1894 from the Laccadive Sea, are rediagnosed based on literature, as types or supplemental topotypic specimens of these two species have not been available for study. Six new species are described: G. brevis n. sp. from Madagascar, G. demani n. sp. from Indonesia, G. humilis n. sp. from Japan and Taiwan, G. musorstomia n. sp. from Wallis and Futuna Islands, Vanuatu, Fiji and Chesterfield Islands, G. parviocullus n. sp. from New Caledonia, and G. rudis n. sp. from the Solomon Islands. Species of this group occur exclusively in the Indo-West Pacific. The horizontal and bathymetric distributions of the species are briefly summarized. The available data suggests that species of the group are highly localized.
