sp. nov. |
Urothoe spinidigitus sensu Imbach, 1967: 78 , pl. 19.
Not Urothoe spinidigitus Walker, 1904: 245–246 , pl. 1 fig. 9.
Material examined
Long Kei Wan, control site Z, seven females, two males, and 12 juvenile specimens, NHM Reg. Nos. 2005.2811–2821.
Remarks
This species, referred to Urothoe spinidigitus by Imbach (1967), can readily be distinguished from U. spinidigitus Walker, 1904 , by the toothed second epimeral plate, distal expansion of coxa 2, and further characters described in Imbach (1967). It can be distinguished from other Hong Kong Urothoe species by the similarly subchelate gnathopods 1 and 2 and the large posterior expansions of the carpus and propodus of pereopod 5.
