Naushonia lactoalbida Berggren, 1992

( Fig. 24 B)

Naushonia lactoalbida Berggren 1992: 514 , figs. 1–6; Komai 2004: 22, figs. 1B, 5, 6.

Material examined. Indonesia. 1 female ( MZB Cru 4058), western Lombok, Teluk Medana, seagrass flat with sand, mud, some rubble-gravel, burrow, suction pump and digging/sieving, 0.2–0.7 m, leg. D.L. Rahayu et al., 12 May 2014 [LB-St3-04]; 1 ov. female ( ZRC 2014.0743), same collection data [LB-St3-30].

Description. See Berggren (1992) and Komai (2004).

Habitat. Tidal sand-gravel flats, sometimes mixed with seagrass; in burrows of unknown hosts, possibly Callianassidae ; depth range: intertidal and shallow subtidal (0–8 m).

Distribution. Indo-West Pacific: Mozambique, Japan, Indonesia (first record) ( Berggren 1992; Komai 2004; present study).

Remarks. Naushonia lactoalbida is recorded from Indonesia (Lombok) for the first time. Both specimens agree well with the original description by Berggren (1992) and supplementary description by Komai (2004). The mediodorsal carina of the carapace, armed with small teeth, appears to be stronger in the Indonesian specimens ( Fig. 24 B), compared to the Japanese material of Komai (2004) and especially the South-East African material of Berggren (1992).
