Summary: | Clibanarius virescens (Krauss, 1843) (Fig. 3, 4) Pagurus virescens Krauss, 1843: 56, pl. 4, fig. 3 [type locality: South Africa]. Clibanarius aequabilis.—Stebbing, 1920: 258 (not Clibanarius aequabilis Dana, 1851).? Calcinus astathes Stebbing, 1924: 239, pI. 2 [type locality: South Africa]. Clibanarius philippinensis Yap-Chiongco, in Estampador, 1937: 501. Clibanarius sachalinicus Kobjakova, 1955: 241: fig. 7 [type locality: south-eastern Sakhalin; probably mislabeling]. Material examined. Holotype female (ZIN № 45674), Okhotsk Sea, Mordvinova Bay, st. 57 (179-1948) (without exact coordinates), depth 52 meters, coll by r/v ‘Toporok” during Kuril-Sakhalin Expedition, 2 Sept 1947. Remarks. The holotype specimen of Clibanarius sachalinicus Kobjakova, 1955 (Figs. 3, 4) is morphologically identical to Clibanarius virescens (Krauss, 1843). Thus, C. sachalinicus should be considered as a junior synonym of C. virescens. It was also concluded by McLaughlin (1996) than type specimens of Calcinus astathes Stebbing, 1924 (also usually reported as a junior synonym of C. virescens) housed in The Natural History Museum (London), were not conspecific with truly C. virescens and indicated Clibanarius astathes as a valid species (Hogarth et al, 1998). Distribution. Widely distributed tropical Indo-Pacific species known from S. Arabia, South and East Africa to Japan, the Ellice Islands, Guam and Fiji (Haig& Ball 1988, Lewinsohn 1982); reported from Korean waters (Jung & Kim, 2015).The presence of C. virescens, actually subtropical or even tropical species, in sublittoral of cold water Mordvinova Bay of Sakhalin Island (46 ° 50 ′ 4 ″ N 143 ° 19 ′ 18 ″E) is questionable. The measured average summer temperature (May–September) of surface water is about 5–9 C, then the Bay is covered with ice during the winter time; water temperature on the depth 40–50 meters is more constant being about 3–5 C. Probably, in the case with locality of holotype of C. sachalinicus it was a mislabeling of the sample because Zinaida I. Kobjakova ... |
