Description

Lophogaster intermedius Hansen, 1910

Junior synonym. Lophogaster hawaiensis Fage, 1940.

Records from Indonesia. Halmahera Sea, Seram Sea and northern entrance of Buton Strait (south Sulawesi). Depth range: 75–141 m (Hansen 1910).

Remarks. Lophogaster intermedius is very similar to L. inermis, but the apex of the antennal scale of the former species features a short, sharp spine with 4 to 6 small, serrate spines on the distal part of the outer margin. The lateral margin of the telson has one pair of spines, and the posterior tip two pairs of spines; the apical plate bears 2 to 4 short spinules and 2 long bristles (Hansen 1910; Casanova 1997).
