Urothoe carda Imbach, 1967: 74–75 View in CoL , pl. 15.

Material examined

Long Kei Wan, control site Z, four ovigerous females, three adult males and five young males, NHM Reg. Nos. 2005.2791–2800.

Remarks

This species was described from the Bay of Nha-Trang, South Vietnam, and this record extends the distribution of the species to Hong Kong waters. The species very closely resembles U. orientalis but can be distinguished from that species by the blunt posterodistal corner of the basis of pereopod 5 (acute in U. orientalis ), and the blunt ventral cephalic projection (acute in U. orientalis ).
