Androgynella nipponicus (Shiino, 1937) Apseudes nipponicus Shiino, 1937 Material examined 1 female (NSMT Cru R 245), 1 female (NSMT Cru R 246), 4 females (NSMT Cru R 245), 13 females (NSMT Cru R 245), all from Sagami Bay, depth 13 m. 18 August 1936. Remarks Shiino (1937) described Apseudes (now Androgynella Gutu, 2006) nipponicus from Sagami Bay. Lang (1953) described A. hermaphroditicus from Antarctica and noted the morphological similarity between his new species and A. nipponicus. Lang considered A. hermaphroditicus separate from A. nipponicus owing to differences in the rostrum, eyelobes and pleonal epimera (Lang 1953:349). Later, Shiino (1970) found similar­looking specimens from Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. He considered these to be conspecific to those found by Lang and that both species were a form of A. nipponicus and thus stated a bipolar distribution for this species. However, Lang (1958:536) had already synonymized A. hermaphroditicus with A. spectabilis (Studer, 1883) from the Kerguelen Islands ... : Published as part of Larsen, Kim & Shimomura, Michitaka, 2006, Tanaidacea (Crustacea: Peracarida) from Japan.
