Amynthas tralfamadore Blakemore, 2012

[ Fig. 9B, C ]

Material examined. Type specimen ( NIBR IV0000246 441) collected from NIBR’s Jeju Island Biosphere at Incheon were described by Blakemore (2012d). New specimens ( IV0000250402-3 ) three mature specimens sketch- ed and dissected, providing DNA samples ( WO53-54 resampled as w29-30) collected outside of Cheonji-yeon Falls Park , Jeju on 13th June , 2012 by RJB from under rocks and beside a spring .

Remarks. These specimens confirm, as anticipated, both separation of A. tralfamadore from A. masatakae and the provenance of both from Jeju suggested by Blakemore (2012d: 143).
