Pagurus fungiformis Komai & Rahayu 2004

Description

Pagurus fungiformis Komai & Rahayu, 2004

(Fig. 1A)

Pagurus fungiformis Komai & Rahayu, 2004: 191, figs. 1B, 6–9 [type locality: Bitung, Sulawesi, Indonesia, intertidal]; McLaughlin et al., 2010: 33 (list).

Material examined. 5 males (sl 1.9–2.9 mm), 1 ovigerous female (sl 2.3 mm), (ZRC 2013.0645), PANGLAO 2004, stn M51, Mayacabac, Panglao Island, 09°36.8'N, 123°52.2'E, sand and sea grass, intertidal, 30 June 2004.

Distribution. Previously known from Indonesian localities (Sulawesi and Ambon), intertidal. Now from the Philippines.

Remarks. The present material agrees well with the type description of P. fungiformis by Komai & Rahayu (2004). As has been discussed by the original authors, this species is similar to P. moluccensis in the general morphology and the coloration in life (cf. Fig. 1A, C), but it is readily recognisable by the unique, characteristic armature of the palms of both chelae, consisting of closely set, low, rounded tubercles with multi-denticulate margins.
