Distribution map of Tortanus (Atortus) taiwanicus by geographical zones
|
| | | | | | | Loc: | | | China Seas (East China Sea), Taiwan (Hualien: coastal waters) | | | | N: | 1 | | | | Lg.: | | | (767) F: 2,1-2; M: 1,75-1,6; {F: 2,00-2,10; M: 1,60-1,75} | | | | Rem.: | coastal.
Assigned to the "rubidus" Group;
The male resembles T. ryukyuensis and T. digitalis Ohtsuka & Kimoto (1989).For Nishida & Cho (2005, p.229) this species belongs in the subgenus Atortus to the ''species complex tropicus''. | | | Last update : 01/02/2015 | |
