Family Goneplacidae Macleay, 1838 View in CoL Subfamily Goneplacinae Macleay, 1838

Carcinoplax haswelli ( Miers, 1884) View in CoL #

Carcinoplax sinica View in CoL — Wong et al. 2021: 14, fig. 20, pl. 4C.

Taxonomy: Chen (1984: as C. sinica View in CoL ), Ng and Mitra (2019: as C. sinica View in CoL ), Ng et al. (2022a).

Type: Lectotype ò and paralectotype ñ in NHM 1882.7 (designated by Ng et al. 2022a).

Type locality: Arafura Sea, Australia.

Distribution: West Pacific: Southern Taiwan and South China Sea, to northern Australia and Papua New Guinea ( Ng et al. 2022a).

Habitat: Subtidal; substrates sandy and stony ( Dai and Yang 1991); depths 25 to 187 m, usually less than 100 m ( Ng et al. 2022a).

Remarks: The better understood C. sinica Chen, 1984 has been recorded from various localities in vicinity of the South China Sea ( Castro 2007; Ng and Mitra 2019). Ng et al. (2022a) recently demonstrated that a poorly known Homoioplax haswelli ( Miers, 1884) from northern Australia, the syntypes being juveniles, was a senior synonym of C. sinica . The genetics of this and allied species was recently done by Prema et al. (2024).
