Etymology. The species name refers to the locality that the specimens were collected at, the Ryukyu Islands.
Distribution. Southeast of Kumejima Island, Okinawa Trough, 372– 375 m.
Remarks. The Shape of appendages of the present new species is similar to Petalosarsia brevirostris Gamô, 1986 , but can be distinguished from the latter by (1) carapace with lateral carina only on anterior portion, while all P. brevirostris specimens examined have sharp dorsolateral carina running for the entire length of the carapace ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 A-D), and (2) ridge near hind margin of dorsal surface of carapace obsolete in female and wholly absent in male, and (3) carpus of pereopod 1 in two ovigerous females long, 0.82–0.83 times basis (0.64–0.72 in P. brevirostris , 10 specimens, Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 F).
