Distribution. Philippines (Panglao Island) and Ryukyu Islands (Okinawa Island and Kume Island) in southwestern Japan ; 15–35 m ( Komai & Rahayu 2013 ; present study) .

Habitat. Coral reefs; often found in submarine caves ( Osawa et al. 2006; Komai & Rahayu 2013).

Remarks. In the Ryukyu Islands, P. longipes was previously recorded from only a submarine cave in Kume Island ( Osawa et al. 2006; Table 2), although the species has been also known from reef walls in Panglao Island, the Philippines ( Komai & Rahayu 2013). The present specimens represent the second record of the species from the Ryukyu Islands.
