Diagnosis.
Pereonite 1 with right-angled postero-lateral corner; pleopod 1 exopod slightly concave, forming two inconspicuous lobes.
Description.
Body length of males 6.1-6.9 mm, of females 5.2-6.0 mm. Color in alcohol blackish brown, dorsum slightly granulated, and with irregular white muscle spots (Fig. 6 I View Figure 6 ). Pereonite 1 slightly sinuous on posterior margin of epimeron, postero-lateral corner nearly right-angled. Noduli laterales as in Fig. 13 A View Figure 13 . Telson triangular, width almost as long as length, lateral margin slightly concave, posterior apex blunted; uropod exopodite about two and half times as long as basipodite (Figs 6 I View Figure 6 , 13 A View Figure 13 ). — Cephalon with arched median lobe, median lobe nearly as long as lateral lobes (Figs 6 I View Figure 6 and 13 A View Figure 13 ). Antennula with several aesthetascs on distal tip of third article (Fig. 13 B View Figure 13 ). Antennal flagellum with first segment about three fifths as long as second one (Fig. 13 C View Figure 13 ). — Pereopod 1 with brush of long setae on carpus and merus (Fig. 13 D View Figure 13 ). Pereopod 7 ischium with deep depression on rostral surface, carpus slightly expanded near middle on dorsal margin (Fig. 13 E View Figure 13 ). — Pleopods 1-5 exopods with Protracheoniscus - type pseudotrachea (Fig. 13 F-J View Figure 13 ). — MALE: pleopod 1 exopod slightly concave at posterior tip, forming two inconspicuous lobes, endopod with broad basal part, narrowed towards beak-shaped posterior tip (Fig. 13 F View Figure 13 ); pleopod 2 endopod styliform, a bit longer than exopod (Fig. 13 G View Figure 13 ).
Etymology.
Latin “ subcurvatus ” = subcurved. The new species name refers to the shape of pleopod 1 exopod with a subcurved apex.
Remarks.
The new species is very similar to L. formosus sp. nov. in having the pleopod 1 exopod slightly concave and forming two inconspicuous lobes. But it is easy to be distinguished in having the noduli laterales on pereonites 2-4 shifted from lateral margins than the noduli laterales on pereonites 1, 5-7 (Fig. 13 A View Figure 13 ). In L. formosus , the noduli laterales on pereonites 1-4 are much farther from lateral margin than noduli laterales of pereonites 5-7 (Fig. 11 A View Figure 11 ). Furthermore, the two species can also be separated based on morphometric evidence and molecular analyses (Figs 3 View Figure 3 , 5 View Figure 5 ).
