Remarks.
Pseudolambrus lobatus
(
Flipse, 1930
)
is the first species in the genus
Pseudolambrus
Paul’son, 1875
from Korean waters. The genus
Pseudolambrus
is composed of 15 species (
Ng
et al.
, 2008
) and distinguished from other partheonpid genera by having entirely fused hepatic region and a postobital tooth on the carapace, not constricted hepatic and branchial regions, and short chelipeds (
Sakai, 1976
).
Pseudolambrus lobatus
is different from other congeneric species by having a carapace with produced hepatic lobe, an enormous sized with a large lobe on proximal part of right cheliped, and a left cheliped with crossed dactyli (
Sakai, 1976
). Althought the present specimen does not have a right cheliped and a fixed finger of the left cheliped, characteristics of the carapace and the left cheliped agree with
Sakai (1976)
’s description of this species.
