Description

Neotroglocarcinus hongkongensis (Shen, 1936)

Cryptochirus hongkongensis Shen, 1936b: 23, pl. 1; Shen 1940a: 231; Kropp 1988b: 868, figs. 1d–f, 2e–h [no new specimens].

Taxonomy: Fize and Serène (1957: as N. monodi), Takeda and Tamura (1980: as N. monodi), Kropp (1988 b 1990), Wei et al. (2006).

Type: Status unknown (Kropp 1988 b 1990).

Type locality: Hong Kong.

Distribution: West Pacific: so far from Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, South China, Taiwan, and Ryukyus (Japan) (Serène 1966; Takeda and Tamura 1980; Kropp 1990 1994; Wei et al. 2006).

Habitat: In domiciles within corals of the Dendrophyllidae: Turbinaria mesenterina (Lamarck, 1816), T. nidifera (Bernard, 1896) (= now T. bifrons Brüggemann, 1877) and Duncanopsammia peltata (Esper, 1790); forming crescent-shaped openings, sheltered by a canopy-like structure (Fize and Serène 1957; Takeda and Tamura 1980; Wei et al. 2006).
