Actumnus dorsipes (Stimpson, 1858) View in CoL
Pilumnus dorsipes Stimpson, 1858a: 37 View in CoL ; Stimpson 1907: 70, pl. 9(3, 3a); Gee 1926: 163 [list].
Actumnus asper View in CoL — Shen 1940a: 227 [no new specimens].
Taxonomy: Sakai (1939), Takeda and Miyake
(1969c). Type: Probably lost. Type locality: Hong Kong. Distribution: West Pacific: from northwestern
Australia, the Philippines, to South China and Japan
( Garth and Kim 1983; Dai and Yang 1991; Hosie et al. 2015).
Habitat: Subtidal; substrates shelly; depths 20 to 60 m ( Sakai 1976); or between crevices of rocks or coral reefs, or among roots of algae or within sponges at depths of 10 to 15 m ( Dai and Yang 1991).
Remarks: Shen (1940a), following Balss (1933), recognized A. dorsipes (Stimpson, 1858) a junior synonym of A. asper (Rüppell, 1830) . Sakai (1939) examined material from Japan ( A. dorsipes ) and Palau ( A. asper ) and reported both as distinct, with material reported in Shen’s (1940a) and Stimpson’s (1858a) reports probably conspecific.
