Distribution map of Labidocera churaumi by geographical zones

| | | | | | | Loc: | | | NW Pacif. (Tokasshiki Port, Tokashiki Island, Okinawa) | | | | N: | 1 | | | | Lg.: | | | (1210) F: 2,225-2,790; M: 1,0819-2,531; {F: 2,225-2,79; M: 1,081-2,531} | | | | Rem.: | For Hirabayashi & Ohtsuka (2014, p.26) the species is similar to L. madurae Scott, 1909 and L. tasmanica Taw, 1974. These three species constitute a species group within the L. detruncata species complex (see key to Indo-West Pacific species groups in Labidocera detruncata species complex in Labidocera Genus). These three species have a restricted distribution in the subtropical and tropical , coastal waters of the Indo-West Pacific, and are referred by the authors as L. madurae species group (see key of the species in this group). | | | Last update : 19/07/2021 | |
