Material examined

Philippines: Maribago, Mactan Island , Cebu, 10 ° 179N, 124 ° 009E, 2–3 m, from mixed crinoid washings, coll. P. Bouchet, 9 June 1985, 1 ovig. ♀ (MNHN-Na 14878) .

Host

Comanthina schlegeli (P. H. Carpenter, 1881) , det. A. M. Clark [Crinoides, Echinoderma].

Remarks

Not previously reported from the Philippines. The single specimen has a rostral dentition of 4/1, with a very small ventral tooth. The first pereiopods have the carpus about three times longer than the chela, rather swollen distally; the fingers broad, densely setose laterally. Only the extremely slender minor second pereiopod is preserved.
