Distribution. – Philippines, South and East China Seas, Japan, at depths of 22- 300 m.

Remarks. – A very common pandalid species in the East China Sea, southern Japanese coast and the northern South China Sea. When it was described from the Suruga Bay, it was mentioned to be abundant ( Omori, 1971). Since then, the species has been reported as a common pandalid shrimp from southern Japanese coasts (Hayashi & Koike, 1976), the East China Sea (Jiang et. al., 1985; Wang, 1987), and the northern South China Sea off Guangdong Province and Beibu Gulf (Tokin Gulf) (Li & Komai, 2003; Li, 2004). However P. izumiae seems to be uncommon in the Sulu Archipelago ( Chace, 1985). The present record extends the bathymetric range from 209 m to 300 m depth.
