Remarks.
Examination of the
holotype
of
Clibanarius hirsutimanus
from the Peter the Great Bay, Buhta (Bay) Minonosok (42°56′9″
N131°25′
5″E) deposited at Zoological Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences (ZIN RAS, St. Petersburg) showed that all characters (please state the characters) agree well with the description of
Areopaguristes nigroapiculus
(
Komai, 2009
)
. Therefore
A. nigroapiculus
is a subjective junior synonym of
Areopaguristes hirsutimanus
(
Kobjakova, 1971
)
comb. nov.
At the present time,
Areopaguristes hirsutimanus
(
Kobjakova, 1971
)
comb. nov.
(
Fig. 2
) is one of the most numerous shallow water species on rocky and gravel substrates in Posjeta Bay, the Peter the Great Bay (Marin, 2013) and other areas along the Russian coast of the Sea of
Japan
(
Marin & Kornienko, 2014
).
Komai (2009)
noted that the specimens of
Paguristes ortmanni
reported from Vostok Bay (42°53′50″
N 132°43′
46″E) (
Petryashov &Kornienko, 2006
) actually have been found to represent the same species, but also represent
A. nigroapiculus
(=
Areopaguristes hirsutimanus
(
Kobjakova, 1971
)
comb. nov.
).
Distribution.
The species is reported from the Sea of
Japan
along the mainland coast from the northern part of the Peter the Great Bay to the South of Korean Peninsula, from Sakhalin and southern Kuril Islands to Akita Prefecture (Sea of
Japan
) and Sagami Bay (Pacific side) of Honsu
Island
; subtidal to
140 m
, on rocky, gravel and sand substrates (
Komai, 2009
;
Hwang
et al
, 2014
; present paper).
