The name is derived from the Latin for bearded and unshaven; alluding to the appearance of the species. + + + + +Diagnosis +. Carapace hexagonal, wide; surface and pereiopods covered with dense, short, soft pubescence as well as scattered long plumose setae completely obscuring margins and surfaces, longer setae arranged in clumps on carapace regions, forming faint circular patterns on gastric and cardiac regions ( +Fig. 8A, B +); epigastric, mesogastric, postorbital cristae low, gastric and subhepatic regions with scattered low granules, hepatic region with low broad tubercle, may be very low ( +Figs. 8C, D +, +10A, B +); frontal margin distinctly convex, lateral lobule sharp, distinct, separated from frontal lobes by deep V-shaped cleft; supraorbital margin with median fissure, margin convex ( +Figs. 8C, D +, +10A, B +); external orbital tooth triangular, first anterolateral tooth triangular, third tooth smallest; subhepatic tooth low or distinct, may be visible in dorsal view ( +Figs. 8C, D +, +10A, B +); surface of merus of third maxilliped smooth, anteroexternal angle of rounded, not auriculiform, ischium relatively short ( +Fig. 10C +); outer surface of chelae with numerous relatively large round granules, vaguely arranged in longitudinal rows, carpus with numerous round granules, without distinct tooth on inner angle, fingers shorter than palm ( +Fig. 9B–E +); ambulatory legs without distinct crests or ridges, unarmed; surfaces completely obscured by numerous long, short setae ( +Fig. 9F +); anterior thoracic sternum with surfaces relatively smooth, suture between sternites 3 and 4 shallow, medially interrupted ( +Fig. 9A +); male pleon relatively narrow, subrectangular, pleonal somites 1, 3 subequal in width; telson semicircular ( +Figs. 9A +, +10F +); G1 slender, sinuous along entire length, distal part gently bent laterally with sharp tip ( +Fig. 10G, H +). + + + + +Variation +. In the +holotype +male, there is a distinct large but low tubercle behind the first anterolateral tooth and the subhepatic region has a distinct tooth which is clearly visible in dorsal view ( +Figs. 8D +, +10A +). In the +paratype +female, however, the surface behind the first anterolateral tooth is only slightly raised and barely visible and the subhepatic tooth is low and poorly developed, and hardly visible in dorsal view ( +Figs. 8C +, +10B +). The +two specimens +, however, agree in all other aspects and we are confident they are conspecific. + + +Colouration +. Not known. + + + + +Remarks +. +Henderson (1893: 365–366) +recorded one small specimen cw 5.0 by cl 4.0 mm in size (no sex indicated) as “ + +Pilumnus labyrinthicus + +” from Rameswaram, southern +India +, noting that it has “the very characteristic markings or lines on its dorsal surface, which hear some resemblance to a face.” +Kathirvel & Gokul (2010) +subsequently listed the species based on this record from the Gulf of Mannar.

Carapace transversely hexagonal, broader than long, regions not distinct; surface covered with very short, dense setae which obscures surface and partially margins, no plumose setae, with scattered long simple setae mostly on frontal margin and pereopods; dorsal surface with relatively scattered small rounded granules on anterolateral surface, low striae on posterolateral surface ( +Figs. 5B +, +7A +); frontal margin protruding anteriorly, distinctly bilobed, separated by V-shaped notch medially, margin gently convex, lined with numerous small granules; lateral frontal lobe low, separated from frontal lobe by small notch, confluent with granulated, entire supraorbital margin ( +Figs. 5B +, +7A +); suborbital margin granulated, suborbital tooth low, not distinctly produced, barely visible in dorsal view ( +Fig. 5B–D +); external orbital tooth broad, proximal angle short; anterolateral margin with 3 distinct low teeth, margins lined with granules, second tooth largest, third smallest, directed obliquely ( +Figs. 5B +, +7A +); suborbital, sub-branchial and pterygostomial regions finely granular ( +Fig. 5C, D +); median lobe of posterior margin of epistome produced, triangular ( +Figs. 5C +, +7C +); merus of third maxilliped quadrate, anteroexternal angle rounded ( +Fig. 7B +); chelipeds asymmetrical; inner margin of merus lined with teeth; outer surface of carpus with numerous granules, inner distal angle produced as distinct tooth, lined with granules; outer surface of larger palm covered with rounded granules on upper half; outer surface of smaller chela covered with granules and tubercles ( +Figs. 5A +, +6B–E +); P2–P4 merus with 6 or 7 obvious sharp teeth on extensor margin, becoming larger distally, proximal ones small to barely visible (teeth on P5 much smaller); flexor margin unarmed; P2–P5 carpus and propodus with 2 longitudinal rows of sharp granules (those on P5 relatively smaller) ( +Figs. 5A +, +6F, G +). + + +Colouration +. In the fresh specimen of + +L. ajmali + + +n. sp. + +, the carapace, cheliped and ambulatory legs are orange, with fine dark red spots on the frontal surfaces; and covered by a dense, short tomentum; with the fingers of the chelae pale white to pale yellow ( +Fig. 1B +). + + + + +Remarks +. + +Latopilumnus ajmali + + +n. sp. + +can be separated from congeners by the carapace and pereiopods being covered with a relatively dense coat of short setae with only scattered simple long setae (mostly long the front) and without plumose setae ( +Fig. 5A, B, D +). These short setae, however, are not sufficiently dense to form thick coat that completely obscures the surface and margins. In addition, the dorsal carapace surface is almost smooth except for scattered granules on the anterolateral and low striae on the posterolateral surfaces, with the regions poorly demarcated ( +Fig. 5A, B +).

Unlike many of congeners (cf. +Komai & Rahayu 2013a +; +Komai 2017 +), the armature of the ventrodistal margin of the propodus of the second pereopod is not sexually dimorphic in the present new species; one or two slender corneous spines flanked by a few, short to moderately long setae are present in both the male and female. + + +The +holotype +of the present new species is different from the other type specimens in the size and shape of the right cheliped. The right chela and carpus of the +holotype +male (sl +0.85 mm +) is larger than that of the largest male and female +paratypes +(sl 0.89 and +0.92 mm +), and the dorsolateral margin of the chela is somewhat concave in the +holotype +, instead of being nearly straight or slightly convex in all the +paratypes +. The +holotype +and the largest male +paratype +are approximately same size, and thus the right cheliped of the +holotype +probably shows an overgrowth condition. + + + + +Distribution. +So far only known from the +type +locality, +Okinawa +Island, Ryukyu Islands, southwestern +Japan +. + + +Habitat. +The +type +specimens were collected from the midwestern coast of +Okinawa +Island and from the underside of rocks in gloomy, coral rubble areas beneath overhangs in the outside of steep reef walls or near entrances of submarine caves at depths ranging from +25 m +to + +38 m +. + +The Manzamou area around the collection site has some famous SCUBA diving points where attract local divers because of the beauty of the coastal topography and marine fish and invertebrates.

The general coloration of the new species is similar to that of “Gettou” flowers. + + + + +Remarks. +The present new species may be distinctive in the genus + +Catapaguroides + +in having the chelipeds covered with numerous minute granules because such granules have not been described or illustrated in the other known congeners. + +Catapaguroides ngankeeae + + +n. sp. + +is morphologically close to + +C. brevidactylus +Komai & Rahayu, 2013 + +known only by the +holotype +male from the +Philippines +which lacks the right pereopod 2 and both pereopods 3. The diagnostic characters shared by the two species are as follows: ocular peduncle widened proximally and with a round but non-dilated cornea; antennular peduncle overreaching distal corneal margin by entire length of ultimate segment; antennal peduncle overreaching distal corneal margin; and palm of right cheliped without a prominent dorsal protuberance at articulation with dactylus but with a proximal spine on dorsomesial margin of dactylus; and carpus of right cheliped with a spine at dorsomesial angle. Nevertheless, the size and armature of the right cheliped immediately distinguishes + +C. ngankeeae + + +n. sp. + +from + +C. brevidactylus + +. The right cheliped is much longer and more robust than the left cheliped in both of males and females in the new species, but it is subequal in length to the left in the male +holotype +of + +C. brevidactylus + +( +Figs. 2A, B +, +3A, B +; +Komai & Rahayu 2013a +: fig. 2A, B, D, E). The dorsomesial margin of the dactylus is bluntly crested in the new species, whereas it is rounded and non-cristate in + +C. brevidactylus + +( +Fig. 2A +; +Komai & Rahayu 2013a +: fig. 2A). The dorsomesial margin of the palm has a row of one to three spines and short, slightly elevated ridges in the new species, but it is unarmed in + +C. brevidactylus + +( +Figs. 2A, C +, +3E, H +; +Komai & Rahayu 2013a +: fig. 2A, C). The dorsomesial margin of the carpus is sharply crested and slightly upturned in the new species, instead of being not delimited in + +C. brevidactylus + +( +Fig. 2A +; +Komai & Rahayu 2013a +: fig. 2A). Additionally, the dactylus of the left pereopod 2 is proportionally longer in the new species than in + +C. brevidactylus + +(1.3–1.4 versus 1.2 times longer than the propodus when measured on the ventral margin; +Fig. 1M +; +Komai & Rahayu 2013a +: fig. 1C). The males of the two species have a relatively short right sexual tube in the genus + +Catapaguroides + +, but the sexual tube is merely papilla-like, falling far short of the midline of the body in + +C. ngankeeae + + +n. sp. + +, instead of reaching the mesial margin of the coxa of left pereopod 5 as in + +C. brevidactylus + +( +Fig. 1H +; +Komai & Rahayu 2013a +: fig. 1G). + + + +Catapaguroides ngankeeae + + +n. sp. + +also resembles + +C. melini +de +Saint Laurent, 1968 + +known from +Indonesia +and +Papua New Guinea +. The type series of + +C. melini + +consisted of +19 specimens +, including +eight males +and +six females +from +Indonesia +and +five females +from +Papua New Guinea +. De +Saint Laurent (1968) +remarked the male +paratype +of + +C. melini + +from +Flores Island +( + +Siboga + +station 51) differed from the other type specimens in the following particulars: ocular peduncles slightly larger, with better developed corneas; chelipeds more setose; dactylus of right cheliped with some denticles on proximal one third part; right sexual tube in male much shorter, anteriorly extending only to level of coxae of left pereopod 4; and posterior lobes of telson more developed, with weaker armature on terminal margins. The female +paratype +from the same station was also cited as having similarly developed ocular peduncles. As suggested by de +Saint Laurent (1968) +, the +two paratypes +from +Flores Island +might belong to a separate species from the +holotype +. The morphological characters of + +C. melini + +discussed below are thus based on the description of the type material except the +Flores +specimens. + +Catapaguroides ngankeeae + + +n. sp. + +and + +C. melini + +have the following characters in common: cornea of ocular peduncle not conical in shape nor reduced, rounded; antennal peduncle overreaching distal corneal margin; and in right cheliped, dactylus crested on proximal half of dorsomesial margin at least, palm distinctly longer than carpus and without spines scattered or forming irregular rows on dorsal surface nor a prominent dorsal protuberance at articulation with dactylus, and carpus of right cheliped with spines on dorsomesial margin and dorsal midline. However, the length of the right sexual tube in the male is very different between + +C. ngankeeae + + +n. sp. + +and + +C. melini + +. The right sexual tube is very short and papilliform, falling far short of the midline of the body in the new species, instead of being elongate, anteriorly extending beyond the coxa of the left pereopod +2 in + +C. melini + +( +Fig. 1H +; de +Saint Laurent 1968 +: fig. 10). Other morphological differences between + +C. ngankeeae + + +n. sp. + +and + +C. melini + +are found in the antennal acicle, the dactylus and carpus of the right cheliped, and the palm of the left cheliped. The antennal acicle just reaches or slightly overreaches the distal corneal margin in + +C. ngankeeae + + +n. sp. + +( +Fig. 1A +), whereas it slightly reaches beyond the corneal base in + +C. melini + +. The dactylus of the right cheliped is proportionally longer in the new species than in + +C. melini + +(0.8 versus 0.5 of the palm length) and it has a small proximal spine on the dorsomesial margin in the new species, which is absent in + +C. melini + +( +Figs. 2C +, +3E, H +; de +Saint Laurent 1968 +: fig. 29). The carpus of the right cheliped is proportionally shorter and more strongly widened distally in the new species than in + +C. melini + +(the length is 1.2–1.3 versus 1.7 times the distal width; +Figs. 2E +, +3F, I +; de +Saint Laurent 1968 +: fig. 29). The dorsomesial margin of the palm of the left cheliped is unnamed in the new species ( +Fig. 2A, C +), but it is described as having a row of spinose tubercles in + +C. melini + +. + + +Arima (2014: 192) +showed a photograph of a live individual from +Okinawa +Island at a depth of +30 m +and identified as “ + +Pagurixus +sp. 3 + +”, of which the color pattern and morphological appearance are closely similar to those of the present new species. We provisionally assign the individual to + +Catapaguroides ngankeeae + + +n. sp. + + + +Eleven species of the genus + +Catapaguroides + +have been recorded from Japanese waters ( +Komai & Rahayu 2013a +; +Komai 2014 +, +2017 +; present study): + +C. bythos +Komai, 2017 + +; + +C. cristimanus +de +Saint Laurent, 1968 + +; + +C. foresti +McLaughlin, 2002 + +; + +C. fragilis +( +Melin, 1939 +) + +; + +C. iejimensis +Osawa & Takeda, 2004 + +; + +C. japonicus +de +Saint Laurent, 1968 + +; + +C. longior +Komai. Yamada & Shirakawa, 2010 + +; + +C. ngankeeae + + +n. sp. + +; + +C. rubromaculatus +Komai, 2017 + +; + +C. tanseiae +Komai, 2014 + +; and + +C. umbra +Komai, 2009 + +. Four species among them, + +C. iejimensis + +, + +C. longior + +, + +C. ngankeeae + + +n. sp. + +, and + +C. umbra + +, are currently known only from the Ryukyu Islands and from shallow coral reefs and submarine cave environments. In addition to these species, +Arima (2014: 160) +depicted a live individual referred as to “ + +Catapaguroides +sp. 1 + +” from Okinawa Island at a depth of +30 m +; it resembles + +C. tuber +Komai & Rahayu, 2013 + +, from the +Philippines +, in having the characteristic ornamentation of the stout right cheliped and slender ambulatory legs, although the identity remains to be established after examination of voucher specimens. Considering +Komai & Rahayu (2013a) +described five other congeneric species ( + +C. brevidactylus + +, + +C. conicus + +, + +C. levigatus + +, + +C. tenuiclavus + +, and + +C. tuber + +) from shallow reef environments in the +Philippines +, further collection efforts in the coasts of the Ryukyu Islands will eventually find additional species new to the local fauna or new to science. + + + + \ No newline at end of file
