Galathea robusta Baba, 1990 Galathea robusta Baba, 1990: 956, fig. 13 (Madagascar, 105–115 m).— Baba, 2005: 84, fig. 31, 245 (key, synonymies, Mauritius, 238 m).—Baba et al., 2008: 76 (compilation).—Macpherson, 2012: 410 (comparative material). Material examined. Madagascar. ATIMO VATAE. Stn CP3561, 25° 38 'S, 46 ° 13 'E, 128–133 m, 6 May 2010: 1 M 3.0 mm (MNHN-IU- 2013-8421). Reunion Island. MD 32, Stn CP57, 21°04.5'S, 55 ° 11 'E, 210–227 m, 22 August 1982: 2 ov. F 3.0– 4.4 mm (MNHN-IU- 2013-8420). Remarks. The specimens examined agree quite well with the holotype male (MNHN-Ga 712) from Madagascar (Baba 1990). Galathea robusta resembles G. sentosa n. sp. from Wallis and Futuna (see Remarks for this latter species). The genetic divergences with other species are always higher than 15.2 % (COI, the closest is G. p s i l a n. sp.) and 7.4 % (16 S rRNA, the closest is G. cymo n. sp.) (Tab. 3). Distribution.
