Remarks. This new species resembles Nannastacus inconstans Hale, 1945 , N. nyctagineus Gamô, 1962 , and N. pectinatus Gamô, 1962 in having numerous minute granules and some spatuliform/spiniform tubercles on dorsal surfaces of pereon and pleon. However, the new species is easily distinguished from others by the following combination of features (based on list in Table 1 ): 1) carapace covered with numerous minute granules and several rows of large spatulate tubercles ( vs . large granules and squamose-reticulate in N . inconstans ; numerous minute granules in N . nyctagineus ; minute spiniform granules in N . pectinatus ); 2) carapace shape is nearly rectangular in dorsal view ( vs . nearly ovate in N . inconstans , N . pectinatus ); 3) antenna 2 not extending beyondpleonite 6 ( vs . extending beyondpleonite 6 in N . nyctagineus ); 4) pereonites 2 and 3 with a pair of blunt tubercles, pereonites 4 and 5 with several strong spines ( vs . strongly tuberculate, almost spiniform in N . inconstans ; 1–2 pairs of teeth in N . nyctagineus ; a pair of spines and spiniform tubercles in N . pectinatus ); 5) uropodal peduncle length, about 2/3 of pleotelson ( vs . less than 2/ 3 in N . inconstans ; about 5/ 6 in N . nyctagineus ; 2/ 3 in N . pectinatus ); and 6) uropodal exopod length, about 1/4 of endopod ( vs . about 1/ 3 in N . inconstans ; about 1/ 13 in N . nyctagineus ; about 1/ 2 in N . pectinatus ); 7) uropodal endopod inner margin, serrate ( vs . serrate, with 5–6 small stout setae in N . nyctagineus ). Distribution. Korea (South Sea, shallow water, depth 5m ).
