Abstract

The parapseudid tanaidacean Ctenapseudes sapensis (Chilton, 1926) is minutely redescribed and illustrated. The
species is very similar to C. chilkensis, described by the same author based on samples from the brackish Chilka Lake in India
(Chilton, 1924). C. sapensis was the only apseudomorph tanaidacean found in Upper Songkhla Lagoon, southern Thailand.
This species is dominant in this lagoon, and, at the same time, is a major food source for some catfishes (Osteogeneiosus
militaris, Arius truncatus and Arius maculatus).
