Paralbunea dayriti ( Serène & Umali, 1965)

Paralbunea dayriti – Komai 2000: 368 [list]; Boyko 2002: 3, 181, 192, 197–203, 393, figs. 64, 65 [full synonymy]; Boyko 2007: 181–182 [Western Australia]; Osawa and Fujita 2007: 127 [mention]; Boyko 2010: 51–52 [ Guam]; Boyko and McLaughlin 2010: 142 [list]; Osawa and Fujita 2012: 246, 260, 261 [mention]; Poore et al. 2014: 8 [Western Australia]; Fujita et al. 2017 [mention].

Material examined: 1 female (12.3 mm CL × 15.3 mm CW), Balicasag Island, Panglao, Bohol Province, Philippines, tangle nets, 50–500 m, coll. fishermen, 29 Nov. 2001 ( ZRC 2001.0695); 1 female (8.4 mm CL × 10.5 mm CW), Yong’an, Kaohsiung County, Taiwan, coll. G.-J. Xin ( ZRC 2016.0116).

Range: Known from southern Japan southward to Western Australia, and eastward to New Caledonia, Mariana Islands ( Guam), the Marshall Islands, and Tahiti, at 6.1–45.5 m deep ( Boyko 2002 2010; Osawa et al. 2010).

Remarks: The Philippines and Taiwan are both countries from which P. dayriti has been previously reported ( Serène and Umali 1965; Boyko 2002). The present Philippine specimen was likely caught from the shallower range (ca. 50 m) of the tangle net deployment, judging from prior records of the species’ depth range ( Boyko 2002).
