Based on female 2.6 mm, AM P71565 Gnathopod 2 carpus a little longer than that of male.</p> <p>Habitat. Among Halimeda opuntia.</p> <p>Remarks. This species is easily recognisable by its setose coxae and relatively long inner ramus of uropod 3. This latter is a plesiomorphic state in Photis and was responsible for this species being placed, with P. malinalco J.L. Barnard, 1967 in a subgenus Cedrophotis by Barnard (1967). Long coxal setae are also found in Dodophotis distinguenda (Ruffo, 1955), but that species has a vestigial inner ramus on uropod 3 and in P. lamellifera Schellenberg, 1928, from which it differs in the longer carpus of gnathopod 1, as well as by its longer uropod 3 inner ramus. Long coxal setae are found also in the Californian species P. brevipes Shoemaker, 1942, P. californica Stout, 1913 and P. conchicola Alderman, 1936, but all three species have the male gnathopod 2 with a large spine on the posterodistal margin of the propodus.</p> <p>Distribution.

This species resembles P. brevicaudata Stebbing, 1888, but differs in the very elongate propodus of pereopods 3–4 as well as in differences in the shapes of gnathopods 1 and 2. In the elongate propodus of pereopods 3–4 this species resembles P. paeowai Myers, 1995, from Papua New Guinea. That species however, has an even more slender propodus and very elongate dactylus on these appendages. It further differs from P. paeowai in its smaller eye, longer coxa 1 and longer carpus in the female gnathopod 2. It differs from P. pirloti Myers, 1985 in its much smaller eye and complexly excavated palm of gnathopod 2. It differs from P. aina J.L. Barnard, 1970 in lacking long setae on the coxae. It shows some similarity with P. sinensis Ren, 2006, but differs from that species in the vestigial inner ramus of uropod 3, that of P. sinensis being fully half the length of the outer ramus.</p> <p>Distribution.
