Remarks. – This species is apparently restricted to the western Pacific and eastern Indian oceans, particularly Australia ( type locality), the eastern coast of China , and Japan ( Guinot,1967a ). It has also been recorded from Korea , Singapore and Taiwan , ( Buitendijk, 1950 ; Kim & Kim, 1982 ; Ng et al., 2001 ). In the Philippines , it has been previously recorded from Quezon , Palawan Island (Serène & Umali, 1972) and Lubang Island, off the southwestern coast of Luzon (Serène & Vadon, 1981). Records of Medaeops granulosus elsewhere, e.g. the Persian Gulf, the Red Sea, Mauritius , India and South Africa (cf. Stephensen, 1945 ; Barnard, 1950 ; Michel, 1964 ) should be considered as those for a similar species, Medaeops neglectus ( Balss, 1922 ) (see Guinot, 1967a ; Serène, 1984 ).
