Ligia exotica Roux, 1828 View in CoL

Ligyda exotica ; Fuentes 1914: 315.

Remarks.

The record of this species by Fuentes (1914) needs to be confirmed since this littoral species has often been confused with other species in the past. Unfortunately, no specimens of Ligia have been recently collected from Rapa Nui, most likely due to lack of investigations along the littoral zones of the island.

Distribution.

Pantropical.
