Polyophthalmus View in CoL cf. pictus (Dujardin, 1839)

Material

Two specimens, epifauna, Fan Tsang Chau (Conic Island) Cave, samples 13 and 15, 21 October 2002.

This species is recorded by Wang and Huang (1994) from Mirs Bay in a fouling community. It is likely that the present material is of a distinct species, but specimens of this genus tend to be attributed worldwide to P. pictus owing to the paucity of available morphological characters for species distinction. There was insufficient material in the 2002 collections to warrant a detailed investigation.
