Amphipholis misera

Description

Amphipholis misera (Koehler, 1899)

Material examined. Twelve specimens; St. DW6, SW24; 0–15.2 m deep; sand and rock, sand/seagrass.

Remarks. The specimens were very small in size. According to the key of A. M. Clark & Rowe (1971: 99), this species can be distinguished from Amphipholis squamata (Delle Chiaje, 1828) which is one of the most widely and commonly found species of Amphipholis, in having distinct primary plates and as long as or longer than wide oral shields. The arms of this species are also longer than those of A. squamata.
