Figures 22 and 23.

1981b Stenocypris malayica n. sp. — Victor & Fernando: 157 –158; figs. 34–45.

Material examined: Five females from WN6, one female (ECNU 20170417/HN17) dissected.

Dimensions: Female, RV, n = 1, length 1.395 mm; LV, n = 1, length 1.404 mm.

Description: In lateral view, carapace elongated. Anterior end wider than posterior. Dorsal margin slightly arched. Greatest height situated at mid-length. Calcified inner lamella anteriorly wide (Fig. 22B). Septa present along free margins, longest in antero-dorsal and antero-ventral areas (Fig. 22B). Natatory setae of A2 long, slightly exceeding tips of terminal claws (Fig. 23A). L6 with enlarged h3 seta (Fig. 23B). Three large denticles present on distal end of stem of right UR, with additional smaller denticles, reducing in size towards proximal end (Fig. 23C).

Distribution: This species has been found in Indonesia (Victor & Fernando 1981b), Japan (Smith et al. 2011), Oceania (Meisch et al. 2007) and Thailand (Savatenalinton & Martens 2009). This species was found in Wanning on Hainan Island.

Remarks: This species can be easily distinguished from other species in the genus by the claw-like h3 seta on the L6 (Fig. 23B). The natatory setae of A2 slightly exceed the tips of the terminal claws in the Hainan specimens, but were reported to be slightly shorter by Victor & Fernando (1981b).
