Material examined
Three juvenile specimens, Steep Island cave, NHM Reg. Nos. 2004.2943–2945. Remarks
This species was collected previously from Hoi Ha Wan and Three Fathoms Cove, Hong Kong ( Hirayama 1990). In Hong Kong, the genus Corophium is composed of twelve species. Corophium mortoni can be distinguished from other closely related Corophium species ( C. acherusicum , C. californianum , C. tuberculatum ) by the dactyl of gnathopod 2 having only one tooth, and the ramus of uropod 3 being more than twice as long as the peduncle ( Hirayama 1990).
