Abstract
: Kamaka corophina Ren & Sha, 2013 (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Kamakidae) individuals were collected from the Ryukyu Archipelago in Southwest Japan. This is the first record of the amphipod in Japan and the fifth species of the genus in Japan. Kamaka corophina is characterized by a swollen peduncular article 4 of the male antenna 2 with a small process at the posterodistal corner, the male gnathopod 2 propodus with an oblique or transverse palm, and the bases of pereopods 5–7 each bearing 5–9 posterior plumose setae. Although the male gnathopod 2 in the original K. corophina from China has only an oblique palm, those in the Japanese specimens have two types of palm.
期刊介绍:
Plankton and Benthos Research is a peer-reviewed journal publishing quarterly original papers, reviews and notes dealing with any aspect of the biology and ecology of planktonic and benthic organisms and their interactions with the environment in any aquatic system, and is open to all scientists around the world. Submission of a paper is held to imply that it represents an original contribution not previously published and that it is not being considered elsewhere.
