Phronima pacifica Streets, 1877: 128–130 View in CoL .

Type material

Type material of P. pacifica could not be found at the ANSP or USNM and is considered lost.

Remarks

The female of this species is easily distinguished from its congeners by the shape of pereopod 5. Males closely resemble P. colletti and in the past have been confused with it ( Shih 1969), but the merus of pereopod 5 is distinctly wider than long, and the carpus is more trapezoid in shape.
