Description
Aoroides vitiosus Myers, 1995: 27–30, figs. 1–2.
Material examined. AM P54524 (13, 11♀♀) lagoon in front of Puatai Rock, Avera, Rurutu, Austral Isles, 1 m, rubble and algae inside reef platform, 10 August 1991, J.K. Lowry; AM P54525 (2233, 75♀♀), same locality, depth, collector and date, Sargassum-like alga from inner reef platform.
Remarks. In present material, the male gnathopod 2 has a normal merus with the distal margin oblique. In material from Papua New Guinea, the anterodistal margin of the merus of gnathopod 2 is extended so that the distal margin becomes transverse. This character state, together with a somewhat more elongate and slender merus on the male gnathopod 1, appears to be the only significant difference between present material and that from the type locality. For the present, the two materials are considered as conspecific.
Habitat. Amongst algae (Austral Isles) and sea grasses (Papua New Guinea) in shallow water.
Distribution. Papua New Guinea and the Austral Isles.
