Hersiliodes exiguus Kim & Stock, 1996

Material examined.

One ♀, Site 1, 28 Jun. 2021; 1 ♀, Site 22, 31 May 2021.

Remarks.

This is the second record of Hersiliodes exiguus which was originally recorded as an associate of the clam Ruditapes philippinarum (A. Adams & Reeve, 1850) inhabiting a brackish lagoon on the east coast of Korea ( Kim and Stock 1996). The characteristic form of the female genital double-somite bearing a pair of lateral projections allows easy identification of this species without dissection.
