FIGURE 4. Galathea consobrina De Man, 1902 , MBM215134, male. A, carapace and abdomen, dorsal view; B, left cephalic region, showing antennular and antennal peduncles, ventral view; C, endopod of right Mxp3, distal segments omitted, lateral view; D, left P1, dorsal view; E, left P2, lateral view; F, left P3, lateral view; G, left P4, lateral view; H, sternal plastron; I, pterygostomian flap. Scales = 1 mm. Distribution. Previously known from Sibuyan Sea, Davao Gulf off Southeastern Mindanao, Ternate , Moluccas , Sulu Archipelago, Indonesia , Southwestern Australia ; 37– 100 m . Now also known from South China Sea; 6.7– 79 m . The present record extends the bathymetric range of the species from 37–100 to 6.7– 100 m Remarks. The specimens agree essentially with the description of Galathea consobrina De Man , 1902 , with the exceptions of features of the Mxp3 merus: most of the specimens examined have two stout spines on the extensor margin, but the male of MBM215139 has a very small spine between the two stout spines. Three hepatic spines are consistently present in most of the specimens examined, as in the holotype , but one male (MBM 215213) has five spines. This is the first record for the species from the Chinese waters.
