Trichocerca marina (Daday, 1890)

( Fig. 9 )

This strictly saltwater species was previously recorded in brackish-water habitats of the Mulanxi River, Fujian Province ( Xu, 1998) and on Qi’ao Island in the Pearl River Estuary, Guangdong Province ( Wei & Xu, 2014) in China. We found several specimens of this species in the estuarine area of Shimenhe River, Zhanjiang, Guangdong, and here present SEM pictures of its trophi ( Fig. 9 ).
