Material examined

Two XX (CU), no data; 1 W (CU 1997.171), Surin Nua Island, coll. P. Naiyanetr, 13 April 1977; 1 X (CU 1997.172), Surin Nua Island, coll. P. Naiyanetr, 13 April 1977.

Remarks

Kamita (1966) reported Macrobrachium lar from some unspecified locations in Thailand. According to his drawing and the rather detailed description, his specimen(s) is clearly not M. lar but M. lanchesteri (De Man) instead. Macrobrachium lar is a well-known species, which is distributed throughout the Indo-West Pacific region.
