Plate 1 issued from: Q.-c Chen & S.-z. Zhang in Studia Marina Sinica, 1965, 7. [Pl.46, 1-8]. Female (from G. of Pohai, Yellow Sea): 1, habitus (dorsal); 2, forehead (lateral); 3, urosome (lateral left side); 4, P5 (posterior). Nota: Rostrum rather small. - Head with lateral hooks, distinct from 1st thoracic segment, 4th and 5th distinct. - Postero-lateral angles of last thoracic segment, triangular, its tip acutely pointed, asymmetrical (left cone longer than the right. - Urosome 2-segmented. Genital segment, globular, its dorsal side rather swollen. - Anal segment, short. - Furcal rami slightly asymmetrical, right ramus much broader. - A1 24-segmented, extending beyond posterior edge of 3rd thoracic segment, lower margin of 11th segment with a small process. - Endopod of A2 longer than exopod.
Male: 5, habitus (dorsal); 6, forehead (lateral); 7, right A1; 8, P5 (posterior). Nota: Rostrum more well-developed than the female. - Postero-lateral angles of last thoracic segment short and small, right cone longer than the left. - Urosome 5-segmented, 4th segment much shorter than anal segment. - Furcal rami symmetrical, 3 times as long as wide. - Right A1 17-segmented, 10th to 13th swollen, geniculate between 15th and 16th, upper edge of 16th with a finger-like process. - Distal segment of left P5 very short, its inner side with a hirsute lamelliform process, its outer side with 2 strong spines.
Plate 2 Issued from : Mulyadi in The Raffles Bull. Zool., 2000, 48 (2). [p.191, Fig.11]. Female (from off Surabaya, E Java): a, forehead (lateral); b, 5th metasomal somite and urosome (lateral right side); c, idem (dorsal); d, P1; e, P5. Nota: A1 24-segmented. P5 asymmetrical, without spinules or proeminences on inner and outer margins. Urosomite 1 without any processes. The difference between Chen & Zhang's (1965) descriptions and the present female is the asymmetrical urosomal somite 1, right margin more swollen than left and armed with 1 process posteriorly.
Plate 3 issued from : H.G. Jeong, H.-L. Suh, Y.H. Yoon & H.Y. Soh in Ocean Sc. J., 2008, 43 (4). [p.218, Fig.10]. Female (from SE Korea): A-B, habitus (dorsal and lateral, respectively); C, rostrum (ventral); D, genital compound somite (ventral); E, P5.
Plate 4 issued from : H.G. Jeong, H.-L. Suh, Y.H. Yoon & H.Y. Soh in Ocean Sc. J., 2008, 43 (4). [p.219, Fig.11]. Male: A-B, habitus (dorsal and lateral, respectively); C, right A1; D, rostrum (ventral); E, P5.

Map 3 issued from : H.G. Jeong, H.-L. Suh, Y.H. Yoon & H.Y. Soh in Ocean Sc. J., 2008, 43 (4). [p.220, Fig.12, C]. Distribution of Pontella latifurca based on previous records and on the present study.
neritic, in coastal waters. This species belongs to "P. danae"-Group (See in P. danae in Mulyadi, 2003, Table I). For Mulyadi (2002, p.105) the differences between Chen & Zhang (1965) descriptions and the author is in female the asymmetrical urosomal segment 1, right margin more swollen than left and armed with 1 process posteriorly.
