Remarks.
This is the first record for
China
. Distribution covers the marine littoral environments. from
Brazil
,
Cuba
,
Gambia
,
Bahrain
,
Malaysia
(
Sabah
),
Singapore
, and
Sri Lanka
(
Murphy, 1971
).
The species was described from
Brazil
and dedicated to Professor Paulo Sawaya (so the correct name is
Pseudanurida sawayai
and not
P. sawayana
, as originally described and cited in many articles). In the same year of Schuster’s description,
Murphy (1965)
characterized and illustrated a series of specimens from
Gambia
, including the complete dorsal chaetotaxy, which were identified as
Pseudanurida
cf.
bogoyawlenskyi
(Baker, 1905)
; however, later
Murphy (1971)
recognized that those specimens were actually of
P. sawayai
.
The species was described from
Brazil
(Recife: Barra das Jangadas) in a creek connecting
Rio
Pirapama and
Rio
Jaboatão, a few km South of Piedade Marine Biol. Station, in mangroves; nevertheless after
Murphy (1971)
it also has been found in
Gambia
(West Africa) in mangroves and rocky shore;
Sabah
(
North Borneo
),
Labuan
on weed-covered rocks, small inlet inside
Labuan
town at low tide;
Singapore
, Pasir Ris, sparse mangroves by small stream;
Bahrain
, Persian Gulf, edge of inland, fresh-water stream (maybe of artesian origin);
Ceylon
, Mendel lake (a brackish lagoon on the West coast) and in Mannar, Giant’s tank (a large, inland, artificial fresh-water lake). It was found by
Christiansen & Bellinger (1988)
in mangroves of
Puerto Rico
, and also under and on rocks in
Florida
,
USA
. Now is has been found in sandy beach, so it seems that this species can live in different habitats.
