In Japan this species is the most common in Ligia, and two forms of L. exotica inhabit Osaka Bay, central Japan. To reveal the accurate scientific names of the two forms, we examined not only the detailed morphology but also 16S rRNA and NaK nucleotide sequences, together with L. exotica from another Japanese locality and the related species, L. shinjiensis Tsuge, 2008. As a result, three species, Ligia exotica, L. furcata sp. nov. and L. laticarpa sp. nov., are recognized in four localities, and L. shinjiensis is synonymized with L. exotica. Ligia exotica is characterized by the dentate lacinia mobilis on the right mandible and the appendix masculina lacking a projection. Ligia furcata and L. laticarpa are also characterized by the furcate propodus of the male pereopod 1 and the appendix masculina with an angular projection, and the swollen carpus of the male pereopod 1 and the appendix masculina with a rounded projection, respectively. The three species are distinguishable from one another mainly based on the shapes of pereopods 1–3 in both sexes and the appendix masculina of male. The 16S rRNA analysis confirms the results of the morphological study, and reveals that L. exotica and L. laticarpa also inhabit all over the world (e.g., East Asia, Southeast Asia, India, Africa, the Americas and Hawaii), and China and South Korea, respectively.\u0000 ","PeriodicalId":24072,"journal":{"name":"Zootaxa","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141108817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many of them belong to genera without proper taxonomic assignment and some genera, e.g., Bolivaritettix are so speciose and ill-defined that working with them is practically impossible. Here, we make a step toward the resolution of these problems by describing a new genus, Storozhenkotettix gen. nov. for Bolivaritettix amphinotoides, resulting in a new combination, S. amphinotoides comb. nov. This species does not seem to be closely related to the type species of Bolivaritettix, but rather to Trusmaditetrix, which is a member of the tribe Trusmaditetrigini. We provide new records of S. amphinotoides comb. nov., together with photographs of living specimens and habitat descriptions. The species was observed along the edges of montane forests and in the disturbed parts within forests.
