Material examined

Conic Island Cave, 22 ° 219540 N 114 ° 239220E, Hong Kong; 1 specimen ( NHM 2003.970 ), coll. 22 October 2002 .

Remarks

The specimen here is a very small female. To date this species is known only from Japan and this is therefore the first record from Hong Kong. Nevertheless, the combination of characters of the present specimen show that it is P. imaii as presently understood. Komai (1999) transferred Pagurus imaii to Parapagurodes , but Mclaughlin and Asakura (2004) referred it back to Pagurus .
