Remarks
:
Biropalostoma goofi
is recognizable from other sympatric parapseudid species by the inner hooklike spines on the antennal peduncle, the distal merus spines on the cheliped, the epistomal spine and in having four blunt ventral spines on the propodus of pereopod 1. The rostrum appears rounded, but does have a small central spine-like apophysis (not as conspicuous as that of
Actenos marshalli
, see above, more like that of
Platylicoa angela
sp. nov.
, see below).
The previous records for this species are all off the South
China
Sea coastline of Borneo, off Sabah at
23–
35 m
.
