Macromedaeus quinquedentatus (Krauss, 1843) View in CoL
( Fig. 17G View Fig )
Macromedaeus quinquedentatus Guinot 1968: 708 View in CoL ; 1971: 1068; Serène 1968: 75; 1984: 179, fig. 104, pl. XXV D–E (for complete synonymy); Ng et al. 2008: 203 [List].
Material examined: 1 ñ, NMNS 8772-58, 5.8 × 3.9, Shanfu, Liuqiu Township, Pingtung County, 4 May 2007.
Distribution: Indo-West Pacific; Hawaii ( Serène 1984).
Remarks: The morphology of the present specimen ( Fig. 17G View Fig ) aligns with the defining characteristics of M. quinquedentatus (Krauss, 1843) . These features include five teeth on the anterolateral margins, a fronto-orbital width slightly less than half the greatest width of the carapace, and distinct carapace regions separated by large, deep furrows ( Serène 1984: 177, pl. XXV D–E). This report marks the first record of this species from Taiwan.
