Remarks

Previously reported from Moalboal Island in the Philippines by Bruce (1989a). The male specimen, cl 2.5 mm, has a rostral dentition of 6/2 and the female, 5/1. The first pereiopod has the fingers feebly subspatulate; second pereiopods stout, carpus short, merus unarmed; third pereiopod with dactyl biunguiculate, with conspicuous trifid dorsal spine on proximal unguis, propod with long straight stiff setae. Proximal segment of antennular peduncle strongly bidentate distolaterally.

Distribution

Type locality: Eniwetak Atoll , Marshall Islands . So far, known only from Marshall Islands and Philippines.
