Distribution. Indo-Pacific and known from India, Andaman Sea, Pratas in the South China Sea, the Philippines, Indonesia, Australia and off California in the East Pacific; at depths of 392–900 m and associated with hexactinellid sponges.
Remarks. Odontozona spongicola was previously only known by eight specimens. Other than three specimens from the Philippines (Saito et al., 2017; Saito & Fujita, 2018), only one specimen has been reported from India (Alcock 1901), Andaman Sea (Alcock & Anderson 1899; Alcock 1901), Pratas (Chen et al., 2016), Australia (Goy, 1992) and California (Wicksten 1982). The present Indonesia and South China Sea specimens fit well with the characteristics of O. spongicola in the carapace swollen with posterior half behind the spinous cervical groove smooth, abdomen not sculptured, and the carpus and propodus of last two pereiopods subdivided into 2–3 distinct articles (see Alcock & Anderson 1899; Goy 1992; Saito et al. 2017). There are some discrepancies between the present material and the type from the Andaman Sea (Alcock & Anderson, 1899; Alcock, 1899, 1901). The third pereiopod has the merus bearing spines and the ventral margin of the chela having 2 to 4 tubercles in the present material but these regions are all unarmed in the type. Moreover, the ventral margins of the propodi of the last two pereiopods are spinous in the present material but also unarmed in the type. The type has two hepatic spine but the present material has only one hepatic spine. Moreover, the spines behind the cervical groove in the type (Alcock, 1899: pl.17-fig. 4) appear to be larger than those of the present material (Fig. 2A, B). Examination of the type or topotypic material is necessary to determine if these spines and tubercles are indeed absent or difference in size in specimens from the Andaman Sea and India.
On the other hand, the O. spongicola specimens from Australia and California are similar to the present material from Indonesia and the South China Sea in the merus of the third pereiopod and the propodi of the last two pereiopods being spinous (see Goy, 1992). The specimen from the South China Sea (NTOU M01910) listed in Chen et al. (2016) has the distal part of the rostrum, both second pereiopods, right third pereiopod, sixth abdominal somite and tail fan missing. This damaged South China Sea specimen, however, is generally very similar to the SJADES specimen both in morphology and coloration. For the three Philippines specimens of O. spongicola reported by in Saito et al. (2017) and Saito & Fujita (2018), no detailed description was provided.
Besides O. spongicola, there are eight other deep-water species in the genus Odontozona, viz. O. edwardsi (Bouvier, 1908), O. foresti Hendrickx, 2002, O. joegoyi Hendrick & Ayon-Parente, 2014, O. lopheliae Goy & Cardoso, 2014. O. meloi Anker & Tavares, 2013, O. minoica Dounas & Koukouras, 1989, O. spinosissima Kensley, 1981 and O. striata Goy, 1981. Among these nine species, they can be clearly subdivided into three groups. The first group has grooved and toothed abdomen, and the carapace is densely covered with many small spines (O. spinosissima and O. striata). The abdomen of the second group is smoother, and there are fewer spines on the carapace, but has two distinct rows of circular spines behind the cervical groove (O. foresti, O. meloi and O. minoica). The third group has a rather smooth abdomen, bears fewest spines on the carapace and has only one row of circular spines behind the cervical groove (O. edwardsi, O. joegoyi, O. lopheliae and O. spongicola). Among the four species in the third group, O. spongicola differs from O. joegoyi in bearing hepatic spines (vs. absent) and the abdomen pleura ventrally smooth (vs. spinulose). The present species mainly differs from O. lopheliae in the third pereiopod, which is much more spinose in the propodus to carpus for O. lopheliae. Odontozona edwardsi differs from O. spongicola in lacking the transverse grooves on the anterior three abdominal somites but bearing dorso-transverse carina on the sixth abdominal somite, and propodus of the third pereopod distinctly spinous. It may need to point out that the epistome and labrum are most similar between O. spongicola and O. edwardsi, and therefore, these two species appear to be most closely related.
Odontozona spongicola is the only one species of the genus reported to have association with hexactinellid sponges (Saito et al., 2017). On the other hand, Saito and Komatsu (2009) reported two species of Richardina also associated with hexactinellid sponges. Because of this similar life style, Saito and Komatsu (2009) proposed that O. spongicola may be necessary to transfer to the genus Richardina. In a recent molecular phylogeny analysis on Stenopodidea, O. spongicola is also revealed to be closer to the genus Richardina (Chen et al., 2016). The exact generic affinity of O. spongicola still awaits a full revision on the genus Odontozona.
