We also compared the specimens from South East +China +with those from +Japan +(the +type +locality), as well as with morphological measurements to further confirm the identity of the specimens collected in +Hong Kong +as + +P. kohmoku + +. All the measurements of the specimens collected in Guangdong, Guangxi and +Hong Kong +fall within the range or overlap with the values provided in +Terayama (1996) +for 10 measurements collected from +11 type +specimens. Only the value of the scape index is slightly lower in our specimens in +Hong Kong +(SI= 87.1– 90.3) than on the +type +specimens (SI= 91–97). Nonetheless, the scape index of the specimens from +Hong Kong +overlaps with the measurement from Leong and collaborators (2019) (SI= 82–91). + + + + \ No newline at end of file
