Themiste minor minor Cutler, 1994 : 154 (for complete synonymy). Material examined. One specimen (NMNS-5928-009), Shihmen ( 25°17.84' N , 121°34.23' E ), Taipei County, northwestern Taiwan , lower intertidal sediment rocks, coll. P.-W. Hsueh, 4 November 2007 ; 11 specimens (NMNS-5928-010), Shihmen ( 25°17.84' N , 121°34.23' E ), Taipei County, northwestern Taiwan , lower intertidal sediment rocks, coll. P.-W. Hsueh, 9 May 2008 ; 45 specimens (NMNS-5928-011), Shihmen ( 25°17.84' N , 121°34.23' E ), Taipei County, northwestern Taiwan , lower intertidal sediment rocks, coll. P.-W. Hsueh, 10 May 2008 . Remarks. Themiste minor Ikeda and T . variospinosa Edmonds are the only two species in the subgenus Themiste ( Lagenopsis ) that have introvert hooks. The former species differs from the latter by the presence of posteriorly oriented hooks, and introvert hooks of the other species are orientated in all directions ( Cutler & Cutler 1988: 746, fig. 3A, C; present study, Fig. 3 B ). Cutler and Cutler (1988) divided T . minor into two subspecies T . minor minor and T . minor huttonii (Benham) , with the latter having a relatively longer body length (trunk length reaching 55 mm vs. < 20 mm ), as well as more hooks and a longer hook-bearing region on the introvert (55–75 % vs. 25–35 %). Themiste minor huttonii is known only from Australia , New Zealand and the Chatham Islands in South Pacific Ocean, whereas T . minor minor ranges from across Japan , China , South Australia and southern Africa. Cutler and Cutler (1988) suggested that T . minor minor is a cooltemperate, intertidal and shallow subtidal form but our records show that it also occurs in subtropical waters.
