Anker, C. Glasby, V. Liao, 0 2.12. 2010 [fcn BMOO 16077]. Description. See Anker & Jeng (2006). Colour in life. Semitransparent, whitish, with pinkish tinge, and with reddish chromarophores on antennular peduncles, posterior abdominal somites and tail fan; chelipeds hyaline-white (Figs 5, 6). Type locality. The Philippines, Bohol, Panglao Island. Distribution. Indo-West Pacific: presently known only from the Philippines (Bohol, Palawan) and French Polynesia (Moorea) (Anker & Jeng 2006; present study; A. Anker, pers. obs.). Ecology. Shallow sand flat, about 1.5 m, in burrow of unknown host. Remarks. The present specimen agrees perfectly with the holotype of R. palmeri as described and illustrated by Anker & Jeng (2006) and is the first known specimen of R. palmeri in Moorea and French Polynesia. The previous record of R. palmeri from Moorea (Anker 2010) was re-assigned to R. alpheoides sp. nov. (see above). Thus, two species of Richalpheus occur sympatrically in French Polynesia, viz. R. palmeri and R. alpheoides sp. nov.Published as part of Anker, Arthur, 2011, Description of a third species in the alpheid shrimp genus Richalpheus Anker & Jeng, 2006 (Crustacea, Decapoda), pp. 59-68 in Zootaxa 3059 on page 66, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.27892

Not examined by these authors. Specimen examined. CHINA: Taiwan, Yanminshan, 30.iv. 1996, N. Ohba, male (ANIC). Taibei County, Wulai village, 20 April. 2008, Jiaxiong Wu, male and female (Fu collection). Diagnosis. One of three species of Aquatica with dark brown elytra; most similar to A. wuhana sp. n., distinguished from both A. lateralis and A. wuhana sp. n. by the pale pronotum (Fig. 16) (both of these species have median dark pronotal colouring); aedeagus with LL not inturned, not hooked, and lacking teeth along inner basal margins; ML with basal half or more bulbous, slender in apical area, aedeagal sheath with sternite apically entire; not strongly bent to right in posterior half; sheath sternite about as wide in posterior half as anterior half; females macropterous and coloured as for males. Jeng et al. (2003: 545) indicated ‘larvae usually live in ditches or small creeks with shallow and clear water, fast current and cobble benthos’.Published as part of Fu, Xinhua, Ballantyne, Lesley & Lambkin, Christine L., 2010, Aquatica gen. nov. from mainland China with a description of Aquatica Wuhana sp. nov.

No full textAquatica hydrophila (Jeng et al.) Luciola hydrophila Jeng et al., 2003: 544 (Fig. 39). Aquatica hydrophila (Jeng et al.). Fu et al., 2010: 6. Diagnosis. Protergum having rounded sides, lacking pale markings (Jeng et al. 2003; Fig. 39); thoracic terga 2, 3 and abdominal terga 1–8 with wide pale median line, otherwise lacking any pale markings, plates obliquely emarginate in anterolateral corners. Pygopodia with basal row having two retractable filaments. Remarks. Larvae not examined by the authors herein. Jeng et al. (2003) briefly described the larva which they considered approached that of L. owadai; differentiated on the basis of dorsal colour patterns and pygopod structure. FIGURES 1–6.
