| Abstract | A third species of the rare crangonid genus Vercoia Baker, 1904, V. japonica sp. no v., is described and illustrated on the basis of a single ovigerous female specimen from off Izu-Oshima Island, Central Japan. No representative of the genus has been recorded from Japan or anywhere in East Asia. The new species is readily distinguishable from the two known congeners, V. gibbosa Baker, 1904,and V. socotrana Duris, 1992, in the abdomen which lacks a median carina on the third to sixth somites. The genus Vercoia is rediagnosed and its phylogenetic position is briefly discussed. |
