Material examined. Donggang fishing port, Pingtung County , commercial trawler, 3 Mar 2001 , about 200 m , 1 male cl 9.2 mm ( NTOU M02475 ) . Diagnosis. Rostrum reaching middle of second segment of antennular peduncle; dorsal margin slightly concave, with 10 teeth; ventral margin bearing 1 tooth subdistally. Carapace with large acuminate rostral basal spine; antennal and hepatic spines absent, anterolateral margin with 3 teeth; cervical groove distinct. Cornea narrower than eyestalk and darkly pigmented. First 2 pairs of pereiopods slender; grooming apparatus of first pereiopod well-developed. Dactyli of fourth and fifth pereiopods uniunguiculate, slender. Pleon smooth, first plenoite divided into 2 sections by distinct transverse carina. Second to fifth pleura armed with minute spines on ventral margins. Sixth pleonite widened posteriorly, with 2 minute spines on posteroventral margin. Telson lance-shaped; with 2 longitudinal dorsal ridges, each with 5 large spines; 2 pairs of basal spinules present. Uropods with lateral margin of endopod unarmed, that of exopod serrated with 6 teeth. Coloration. Body generally reddish, covered with whitish spots ( Goy 2010b ). Distribution. Indo-West Pacific: Madagascar , Sri-Lanka, Australia , Philippines , Indonesia , Australia , and now Taiwan , at depths from 174– 640 m . Remarks. The single Taiwanese specimen, though lacking the third pereiopods, fits well with the descriptions of this species provided by de Saint Laurent & Cleva (1981) and Goy (2010b) . The genus Engystenopus is now restricted only to E. palmipes ( Goy 2010b ) . The present record slightly extends the northern-most distribution of this monotypic genus to Taiwan .
