Montrouzier, Touho Channel, lagoon, 35 m , commensal with Alcyonacea , 17 Sep. 1993 , 1 male CL 3.5 mm . Remarks . This species was redescribed in detail by Osawa (1998b) . Lissoporcellana nakasonei closely resembles L. miyakei Haig, 1981 , but differs in having subparallel instead of strongly convex branchial margins of the carapace. Distribution. This species was recorded only from southern Japan (Izu Islands; Kii Pesinsula, Amakura in Kyushu, Ryukyu Islands) at depths of about 20 m on rocky substrates and in association with alcyonacean octocoral, Dendronephthya nipponica Utinomi and Dendronephthya sp. ( Osawa 1998b ; Kato & Okuno 2001 ; Osawa & Fujita 2005 ). This is the first record of L. nakasonei from outside of Japan and from New Caledonia at the depth of 35 m .
