Megaluropus View in CoL sp. A
Material examined
Long Kei Wan, control site Z, one adult female specimen, NHM Reg. No. 2005.23.
Remarks
One specimen of Megaluropus was collected from the sandy control site. It corresponds most closely to Megaluropus massiliensis ( Ledoyer 1975) which was recorded from Tomioka Bay, West Kyushu by Hirayama (1986), but it differs from this species by the lack of acute point on the eyelobe apex and the telson having 4 large setae on each lobe dorsally rather than being ‘‘dispersively and minutely bristly’’ as indicated by Hirayama (1986).
