Distribution. Japan, East China Sea, South China Sea, Philippines, Indonesia, at depths of 17–165 meters.

Remarks. The present material agrees well with the diagnosis of the species given by Chan (1996). Pontocaris pennata is a very common crangonid species in the East and South China Seas from the coastal waters of mainland China. The material examined was mainly collected by the National Comprehensive Oceanography Survey and the China-Vietnam Comprehensive Oceanographic Survey to Beibu Gulf in all months except for June and September in 1959–1960 and 1962. The number ratio of males, non-ovigerous females and ovigerous females was 54:77: 17 in January, 56:84: 76 in April, 26:76: 26 in July and 63:89: 8 in October ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 ). The absolute and relative numbers of the ovigerous females were highest in April, lowest in October and November. It is suggested that the species bred in all seasons of a year, the peak of breeding was in April.

The average carapace lengths of the males, non-ovigerous females and ovigerous females are shown in Figure 2 View FIGURE 2 . With regard to the average carapace lengths, the males appeared generally smaller than the nonovigerous females, and the non-ovigerous females were smaller than the ovigerous females, with an exception in December in which the average carapace length of the non-ovigerous females was larger than that of the ovigerous females. The smallest male appeared in April with the carapace length was 5.1 mm, the largest male appeared in January with the carapace length was 9.2 mm. The largest non-ovigerous female was collected in July with the carapace length of 11.0 mm. The smallest ovigerous female appeared in January with the carapace length of 7.1 mm, the largest appeared in October with the carapace length was 11.0 mm. The largest average carapace length of the males occurred in May and the smallest in August; the largest average carapace length of the non-ovigerous females occurred in April and the smallest in August; the largest average carapace length of the ovigerous females occurred in March and the smallest in December.

Based on the collection data, we found that more than 80% individuals occured at the depths of 40–100 meters, about 50% occured at the depths of 60–89.9 meters ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 ). The distributions of the species in different seasons are illustrated in Figure 4 View FIGURE 4 . In April (Spring), the population had the highest density, consistent with the population numbers of Figure 1 View FIGURE 1 .

Pontocaris pennata View in CoL was previously recorded from the coastal area of mainland China in the East and South China Seas by Liu (1963, error spelling Pontocaris penata ) and Liu & Zhong (1994), from the South China Sea by Chan (1996).
