Galatheids of the East China Sea (Chirostylidae and Galatheidae, Decapoda, Crustacea)

A knowledge of the galatheids of the East China Sea has incompletely been built. In the previous paper (1964) we described only one species, Galathea bcllssi, from this region. Miyake (1965) illustrated the Japanese anomuran Crustacea and added the East China Sea as a new locality to Uroptychus scandens, Galathea orientalis, G. pusilla and Mmida japonica, its source is the same to the present material. The material with which this paper deals is based upon a collection which has chiefly been made by Mr. Hideo Yamashita of the Seikai Regional Fisheries Research Laboratory. Another specimen is also included herein, which was collected from Sogwipo, Chejudo by Prof. Hunn Su Kim of Sung Kyun Kwan University, Korea and kindly forwarded to us. These collections contain about 400 specimens distributed among eleven species, the two species of which were newly described
