Remarks
. This species was described originally from numerous specimens collected throughout the Bass Strait, on sandy substrata from depths between 60 and
293 m
.
Numerous further samples of this species exist in the collections of Museum
Victoria
, including some from water as shallow as
2 m
(Port Phillip Bay), over
100 specimens
having been examined in the course of this study in addition to the type-collection, and it appears clearly to be the commonest
Pakistanapseudes
species
in the Bass Strait region. It is morphologically similar to
P. perulpa
(rounded rostrum, no bifurcate claws), but unlike that species it has no ventral setae on the pleopod basis, and pereonites 5 and 6 are wide than long (longer than wide in
P. perulpa
).
