The re-description and distribution of two new records (Amphipoda: Caprellidae) from the Egyptian Red Sea coast

Two caprellid amphipod species namely; Pseudocaprellina pambanensis Sundara Raj, 1927 and Hemiaegina minuta Mayer, 1890, were recorded as a part of the amphipod fauna associated with macroalgae in the coast of Hurghada Red Sea. The re-description and illustrations of the two species are based on the examination of 4627 individuals, 88% of them were P. pambanensis and the rest were H. minuta. The two caprellid species were collected from six sites scattered over Hurghada coast and their distribution and abundance were investigated.
