Treatment

Culexisoma ginowan (Naruse & Komai, 2009) View in CoL n. comb.

Halicarcinus ginowan Naruse & Komai, 2009: 176 View in CoL –180, figs 1–3.

Material examined. Holotype. Japan. Ryukyu Islands, small fishing port near Ginowan Marina, Okinawa I., 2–3 m, 18 March 2006, coll. T. Komai, NSMT-Cr 19742 (male, 2.1 mm).

Other material. Ryukyu Islands, Miyako I., Port Hirara, 22 May 2009, coll. T. Maenosono, RUMF-ZC-1536 ( 1 male, 3.5 mm).

Distribution. Japan, Okinawa and Miyako islands in the Ryukyu Archipelago, subtidal ( 2–3 m).

Remarks. One additional male is added to the one on which the species was based. Naruse & Komai (2009) incorrectly depicted a 6-segmented male pleon but re-examination of a male specimen (RUMF-ZC-1536) confirms that it is actually 5-segmented, with pleomeres 3 and 4 fused as in C. niugini .
