4. Argathona japonica Shiino, 1961 .

Okinoyama, Japan; 85–95 metres. Although Shino (1961) included Richardson (1910) in the references there is no text reference to that publication, nor was there a direct comparison of A. japonica to Argathona setosa Richardson, 1910 . The general setosity and specifically the falcate shape of the uropodal endopod agrees with that of A. setosa , and the possibility must be considered that the two species are the same.
