Kemponia elegans ( Paulson, 1875)

Anchistia elegans Paulson, 1875 View in CoL , 113, pl. 17, figure 1.

Periclimenes (Ancylocaris) elegans View in CoL — Kemp, 1922: 215 –218, figures. 60–62. Kemponia elegans — Bruce, 2004: 14 –15.

Material examined 1ɗ, 1 ovig. Ψ, 1juv., MAP151, ST092, 12°40.519’N 4°04.170’E, Hawlaf Bay, E. of Hadibo, N coast, 4–5 m, 21 March 1999, 1 spm SMF 29211, 2 spms NHCY.

Habitat: Dead Acropora .

Regional records: Previously reported from Sa’udi Arabia ( Holthuis, 1952), Koweit ( Kemp, 1922), Aden ( Bruce, 1971).

General distribution: Type locality: Red Sea. Ranges from the Red Sea to the Philippines, Marshall Islands and Great Barrier Reef.

Remarks: The specimens present no special features. It is suggested in Chace & Bruce (1993) that this species and K. grandis ( Stimpson, 1860) may be junior synonyms. The situation is still in need of clarification.
