* : total body length (measured in dorsal view from anterior end of cephalothorx to posterior margin of anal somite.
Rem.: For Suarez-Morales (2007 a, p.32) several differences are apparent between the japanese specimens and C. bullatum. All these differences indicate that the japanese's specimens belong to a different, probably undescribed species of Cymbasoma.
After Suarez-Morales (2010, p.66), the female of M. leucopsis from the Philippines (Wilson, 1950 at the Caldera Bay anchorage is (after inspection of the specimen) a male assignable to Cymbasoma bullatum. The mediterranean records of this species cannot be verified (Rose, 1933; Isaac, 1975: as M. conjunctiva; Djordjevic, 1963).
