Material examined. 1 male (37.0 × 34.4 mm ) ( ZRC 2017.1052 ), Balut Island , Mindanao , 150 m , Philippines , coll. tangle net , local fishermen, from dealers, 2017 . Comparative material. Urashima pustuloides ( Sakai, 1961 ) : 2 males (44.5 × 37.6 mm , 44.6 × 40.8 mm ), 2 females (32.0 × 27.0 mm, 46.2 × 39.3 mm ) ( ZRC 2017.1069 ), Balicasag Island , Panglao, Bohol , Philippines , from tangle nets, coll. P.K.L. Ng , November 2004 . Diagnosis. As for genus. Remarks. Sakai (1961) described the species from two males in Tosa Bay, Japan , but it is not known where the types are now kept. They are not in the National Museum of Nature and Science, Tsukuba (formerly National Science Museum, Tokyo ). Ng et al. (2017) discussed the matter of Sakai’s material at length, with extant material in the Smithsonian Institution, Naturmuseum Senckenberg, Kanagawa Museum or lost. Fortunately, the male specimen on hand agrees in all aspects with the description and figures in Sakai (1961 , 1976 ) and we have no doubt of its identity. During a research cruise (LUMIWAN 2008) to southwestern Philippines in 2008 jointly organised by the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources of the Philippines , Philippine National Museum, Musèum national d’Histoire Naturelle (Paris), Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum, and National Taiwan Ocean University, a male specimen of Neparilia tuberculata was obtained and photographed fresh ( Fig. 13 ). It agrees with the male specimen on hand in all key aspects although its G1 was not photographed. Unfortunately, the specimens from this cruise are not available for study for the time being and we are unable to add this to our material examined. The colour of the fresh specimen, however, is striking, being a bright orange on all the dorsal surfaces with the ventral regions white. This agrees well with the Japanese female figured in Ikeda (1998: 85) . Distribution. Neparilia tuberculata is known only from Japan ( Sakai, 1961 , 1976 ; Ikeda, 1998 ; Marumura & Kosaka, 2003 ) and the Philippines (present record).
