6. Amynthas tralfamadore Blakemore, 2012

Material. IV0000261361 (DNA HY20) a pale mature from Jeju Town, Jeju Island by RJB 7 th Sept. 2013, found with IV0000261362 two dark matures identified as “ A masatakae / tralfamadore .

Distribution. Jeju Island and introduced to NIBR facility in Incheon (type-locality).

Description. Pale specimen with extra pair GMs in 9/10 otherwise complies with descriptions in Blakemore (2012d: 143, figs. 1, 7; 2013a: 35, fig. 9B-C).

Remarks. Blast result for HY20 gave 95% “ Amynthas robustus ” (Genbank AB542534 View Materials - a likely misidentification from Japan), whereas HY20 vs WO2 ( A. tralfamadore Holotype) Id=619/621 (99%), i.e., tolerably the same taxon. Also HY20 vs w29 ( A. tralfamadore smaller specimen from Jeju, redo of WO53) Id=618/621 (99%) and HY20 vs w30 ( A. tralfamadore pale specimen from Jeju)=619/621 (99%). Thus species confirmed from northern Jeju too.
