Description

Pagurixus sp. 2

Material. 1 specimen (SIO-BIC C14258), Sarigan Island, station AKM-SAR-01; 1 specimen (SIO-BIC C14515), Guguan Island, station AKM-GUG-02; 1 specimen (SIO-BIC C14516), Agrihan Island, from crab pot, no station info.

Remarks. The specimens represent an undescribed species of Pagurixus, comparable with P. annulus Komai & Poupin 2013, P. brachydactylus Komai & Osawa 2006 and P. pseliophorus Komai & Osawa 2006. This species will be dealt with in a separate paper (Komai et al., in preparation).

In addition to the three species mentioned in this work, seven species of Pagurixus are known from Guam, Southern Marianas (Komai & Osawa 2006): P. carinimanus Komai & Osawa 2006, P. concolor Komai & Osawa 2006, P. maorus (Nobili 1906), P. nomurai Komai & Asakura 1995, P. paulayi Komai & Osawa 2006, P. ruber Komai & Osawa 2006 and P. tweediei (Forest 1956).
