GLYPHOCRANGON
CF.
GRANULOSIS
BATE, 1888
Type
locality
:
western Bismarck Sea
;
02°33′S
,
144°04′E
;
1957 m
.
Known range
: tropical western Pacific Ocean from Bismarck Sea to
Indonesia
and the
Philippines
, with the record of
Watabe & Miyake (2000)
, if correct, extending the range northward to the Okinawa Trough.
Occurrence at vents or seeps
: Hatoma Knoll,
Okinawa
Trough (see below).
Material
: As far as we are aware, no material has been collected.
Remarks
:
Watabe & Miyake (2000: 32)
reported this species from the Hatoma Knoll in the Okinawa Trough. However, the authors indicated that the shrimp were observed in areas of the site not directly influenced by hydrothermal activity. A recent study by Komai has restricted
Glyphocrangon granulosis
to only the female
holotype
(from off New
Guinea
); subsequent records of ‘
G. granulosis
’ (e.g.
Chace, 1984
) have been referred to a separate and newly identified species,
Glyphocrangon major
Komai, 2004
(Komai, 2004, and
T
. Komai, pers. comm.). Thus, the Hatoma Knoll species is in all likelihood not true
G. granulosis
, and its true identity is not known.
