According to Silas & Pillai (1973, p.823) the records of this species from Puget Sound (Sewell, 1947, p.250) and from Woods Hole (Wilson, 1932) are doubtful, because for Vervoort (1965) the distribution range of this species in Pacific and Atlantic is between 35°N to 35°S.
P. securifer, P. diagonalis and P. spinipes are closely allied belonging to a "species group".
Jeong & al (2008 b, p.95) point to the occurrence of two morphological types of female in China Sea (female type I and 2 illustrated in figures 2-5). For the authors, in the female originally described from Mid-Pacific Ocean some meaningful morphological variations were found in the genital compound somite (Brady, 1883; Wilson, 1950; Chen & Zhang, 1965); however, Wilson (1950) suggested that P. secirifer is a single species because the male has no inclination toward variation. Zheng & al. (1982) divided females from the East China Sea into two types by characteristic features in their habitus, genital compound somite and P5. There is a little difference between Korean and Chinese individuals: last pedigerous somite of type I from Korean waters is asymmetrical while that of Chinese waters almost symmetrical; P5 type II from Korean waters is asymmetrical while that of Chinese waters almost symmetrical. Although these differences might be in a species level, the authors retain two types as in Zheng & al.'s suggestion, in that male of only single type is found. It is necessary to reexamine by such methods as molecular analysis to verify ist taxonomic position. Meanwhile, type I is identical with illustrations of P. securifer provided by Tanaka (1964) and Brady (1883) and type II is similar to figures of Gisebrecht (1892). | | | Last update : 13/11/2020 | |
