Treatment

Genus Thalamita Latreille, 1829 View in CoL

Thalamita admete (Herbst, 1803)

Cancer admete Herbst, 1803: 40 , pl. 57, fig. 1 [type locality: Ostindien; type material presumed lost (see K. Sakai 1999)].

Hawaiian Is. records:

Thalamita admete (Herbst, 1803) View in CoL — Dana 1852b: 281, pl. 17, fig. 5 [“Sandwich Is.”]. — Streets 1877: 106 [H.I.]. — Rathbun 1906: 874 [Kaua‘i, Laysan] — Edmondson 1923b: 1550 [Rathbun’s records]; 1946: 283 [H.I.]; 1954: 255, figs. 30, 31 [Laysan] — Stephenson & Rees 1967: 58, 113, fig. 20 [O‘ahu]. — Stephenson 1972: 141 [O‘ahu]. — Amerson & Shelton 1976: 75 [ Johnston Atoll]. — Apel & Spriridonov 1998: 228, figs. 42, 47 [O‘ahu, Hawai‘i]. — DeFelice et al. 1998: 16 [Midway Is.].

Remarks. The species appears to represent a complex of several species ( Apel & Spiridonov 1998; Mantelatto et al. 2009; also see Rathbun 1906). Thalamita admete var. edwardsi Borradaile, 1900 , is treated here as a junior synonym (see Wee & Ng 1995; Ng et al. 2008) pending a revision of the species group.

Taxonomy. Crosnier (1962), Wee & Ng (1995), Vannini & Innocenti (2000)

Geographical distribution. Across Indo-West Pacific region.

Habitat. Shallow subtidal to 120 m.
