Remarks.

Mongoloniscus vannamei distinctly differs from all other Mongoloniscus species by the noduli laterales on pereonites 2–4 and 7 which are much farther from the lateral margins than those on pereonites 1, 5, and 6. We recognized this species based on the diagnostic characters among the similar genera Mongoloniscus , Lucasioides , Agnara , Koreoniscus and Protracheoniscus ( Kwon 1993) , and found that all the traits of M. vannamei match the generic characters of Lucasioides , except for its epimeron of pereonite 1 was not bent outwards. Furthermore, M. vannamei , L. gigliotosi and L. isseli formed a clade with high support ( PP = 1.00, BS = 95 %) according to the results of the phylogenetic analysis (Fig. 2 View Figure 2 ). Thus, M. vannamei must be transferred to Lucasioides . For species descriptions and illustrations, see Kwon (1993).
