Remarks.
This species was originally described from
26 specimens
collected off the
Brunei
coast at some
69 m
depth (
Bamber 1998
), where it was the second commonest tanaidacean in the benthic community.
Bamber and Sheader (2005)
attributed further material from
23 to 35 m
depth off the islands of Gave and Labuan, in Sabah, to this species. Subsequently,
Drumm and
Heard
(2011)
re-examined the Sabah material and described it as a distinct species,
Kalliapseudes bamberi
. These authors also reassigned the present species to their new genus
Phoxokalliapseudes
, on the basis of its cuspidate labrum and distal plumose setae on the pleotelson,
inter alia
. This species also shows variation in the morphology of the mature male chela (see remarks under
Aponychos hyperaesthesia
, above).
P. gobinae
remains at present endemic to
Brunei
waters.
