Family Carcinidae MacLeay, 1838 Subfamily Polybiinae Ortmann, 1893

Liocarcinus strigilis (Stimpson, 1858) #

Portunus corrugatus strigilis — Balss 1922b: 101.

Charybdis japonica — Hill and Phillipps 1981: 156, pl. 52l [not Goniosoma japonicum A. Milne-Edwards, 1861 ].

Macropipus corrugatus — Thompson and Horikoshi 1982: tab. 1; Morton and Morton 1983: 158, fig. 9.5(3); Davie 1992b: tab. 1 [not Cancer corrugatus Pennant, 1777 ].

Taxonomy: Rathbun (1902), Sakai (1939: as Portunus corrugatus strigilis ), Manning and Holthuis (1981), Plagge et al. (2016).

Type: Presumably lost.

Type locality: Kagoshima (as Kagosima), Japan.

Distribution: West Pacific: verified from the Philippines, Taiwan and Japan, Australia, and possibly New Zealand (see Remarks below).

Habitat: Subtidal; substrates of soft mud, coarse sand and shell fragments; depths 30 to 120 m ( Yang et al. 2012).

Remarks: Cancer corrugatus Pennett, 1777 has long been reported as an East Atlantic and Indo-Pacific species ( Stephenson and Campbell 1960), while speculated to represent a species complex ( Davie 2002). The latter assessment was recently verified by Plagge et al. (2016), with Asian material shown to be distinct from the European L. corrugatus sensu stricto. The Asian form had been described under the name Portunus strigilis Stimpson, 1858 , which was resurrected by Plagge et al. (2016).
