Stenothoe verrucosa Krapp-Schickel, 2009c

Stenothoe verrucosa Krapp-Schickel 2009c: 98–100

Material examined

Three specimens Nagasaki, deposited at SNM. One specimen East China Sea, deposited at SNM.

Type locality

Southeast Indonesia.

Remarks

Morphologically, this species is astonishingly similar to the above-cited S. macrophthalma, besides the much smaller size of 3.5 mm, Cx 3 not rectangular but trapezium-shaped and A 2 peduncle art 5 short. In the present specimens, the name-giving ‘warts’ on Gn 2 palm are always present, but never the ones on A2 peduncle; thus, the shape of antenna 2, described and photographed in the original paper (Krapp-Schickel 2009c), could be an anomaly or depend on allometric growth.

Distribution

Pacific Ocean: Indonesia, East China Sea.
