038CC710F353FF8439917E49AE01FAF0.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The single female collected during the “ KUMEJIMA 2009 ” expedition differs somewhat from the New Caledonian female holotype (Bruce 1990), most notably in the dorsal carapace crest and the shape of the antennal scale. The dorsal carapace crest (Fig. 1 A – B) is much more pronounced than in the holotype and has only 5 teeth. The distal part of the rostrum (Fig. 1 A) is much shorter and has a terminal, dorsal tooth; the antennal scale is shorter and wider than in the holotype. In all other respects the Kumejima specimen closely resembles the holotype. The specimen from Vanuatu shows a much greater resemblance to the holotype (Fig. 1 D), with both the dorsal and ventral lamina of the rostrum exhibiting the typical form for the species. A further pronounced difference between both specimens is the colour pattern (see below). However, a comparison of the mitochondrial barcoding gene COI (627 bp) between the Kumejima and Vanuatu specimens shows an identical sequence (GenBank accession nos. JN 251749 and JN 251750, respectively); suggesting that both forms are conspecific. The presently observed differences in morphology and colour patterns are clearly not related to sexual dimorphism, as the male specimen from Vanuatu resembles the female holotype more than the female collected in Kumejima. It is also not likely to be size-related, as both specimens are not overly dissimilar in carapace length. The appendix masculina of the Vanuatu specimen (Fig. 1 E – F) is shorter than the appendix interna, and furnished with a series of serrulate setae along both its mesial and lateral margin. Colour pattern. The specimen from Kumejima (Fig. 2 A) has an overall purple to reddish background colour, with numerous darker maroon-red to deeper purple spots all over the carapace, abdomen and tail-fan. In contrast, the specimen from Vanuatu (Fig. 2 B) has an overall salmon-pink colouration.	en	Grave, De, Chan, Tin-Yam, Okuno, Junji (2012): Hippolytidae and Barbouriidae (Decapoda: Caridea) collected during the Ryukyu “ KUMEJIMA 2009 ” expedition *.

038CC710F354FF8039917839AEF5FBAA.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The material agrees well with the description of Clark (1989), as well as the description of material from the Ryukyu Islands by Brand & Takeda (1994). Although some, minor, variability was noted in the shape of the suborbital lobe, a key character highlighted by Chace (1997), it generally can be regarded as broadly triangular, rather than fully rounded. In all examined males the appendix masculina is distinctly longer than the appendix interna, which is the most convenient character to distinguish this species from its close congener, Parhippolyte uveae Borradaile, 1900. The status of the other species known from the Ryukyu Islands, P. rukuensis Burukovsky, 2007, requires clarification. This species was described on the basis of a single, female specimen obtained from an underwater cave on Ie-Jima Island (Burukovsky, 2007) and has not been recorded since. It differs from P. misticia only by its shorter rostrum, armed with a single dorsal and ventral tooth, in all other respects these taxa are highly similar and may ultimately prove to be synonyms.	en	Grave, De, Chan, Tin-Yam, Okuno, Junji (2012): Hippolytidae and Barbouriidae (Decapoda: Caridea) collected during the Ryukyu “ KUMEJIMA 2009 ” expedition *.

038CC710F354FF8039917839AEF5FBAA.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Known with certainty only from Palau (Clark 1989) and the Ryukyu Islands (Brand & Takeda 1994; Nomura et al. 1996; Kawamoto & Okuno 2001); previously recorded from Kumejima by Kawamoto & Okuno (2001). The record of two specimens without habitat data from the Seychelles in Brand & Takeda (1994) needs verification, as the Indo-Pacific species in the genus are hard to distinguish from each other without the presence of males and / or accurate habitat information. However, we agree with Brand & Takeda (1994) that photographs in several underwater guides (e. g. Fielding & Robinson 1987; Kuiter & Debelius 2009) are highly suggestive of a much wider distribution for P. misticia.	en	Grave, De, Chan, Tin-Yam, Okuno, Junji (2012): Hippolytidae and Barbouriidae (Decapoda: Caridea) collected during the Ryukyu “ KUMEJIMA 2009 ” expedition *.
