Material examined

RV
Hakuhō Maru
KH-72-1 cruise, sta. 29, 1Ə (
CB
24.5 mm
including branchial posterolateral spines×CL
23.9 mm
in median line), NSMT-Cr 30729.
Remarks
. The male of
Pseudolambrus
bidentatus
examined (
Fig. 12A–B
) agrees completely with the original description and figure, being characterized by a mesogastric tubercle rather directed posteriorly, a sharp keel from a small tubercle at the median part of the branchial region toward the posterolateral outgrowth, the hepatic and branchial margins fringed respectively with three and seven thin lobes, and a thin lobe of remarkable size at the basal part of the outer margin of each palm. As noted by
Takeda and Komatsu (2015)
, this species is in the group of
Pseudolambrus
having the rather depressed and triangular carapace armed with a strong mesogastric tubercle;
P. harpax
(
Adams and White, 1848
)
,
P. confragosus
(
Calman, 1900
)
,
P. bispinosus

P. lobatus

Flipse, 1930
)
,
P. bicornis
(
Flipse, 1930
)
, and
P. incisus
Takeda and Komatsu, 2015
. This species is readily differentiated from them by the characters mentioned above.
