Liolophura (Liolophura) japonica ( Lischke, 1873) , form tenuispinosa: Leloup 1939 ; Van Belle 1980: 34.

Liolophura tenuispinosa ; Kaas & Van Belle 1998: 185.

Acanthopleura tenuispinosa ; Saito & Yoshioka 1993: 45, figs 1–17; Saito 2000: 19, pl. 9, fig. 9; 2017: 54, 734, pl. 7, fig. 6; Xu 2008: 457.

Type material. Unknown, types unascertained ( Ferreira 1986).

Type locality. Paulo Dama , Gulf of Siam .

Distribution. Gulf of Siam ( Leloup 1939), Hong Kong (Van Belle 1980) and Amami and Okinawa Islands ( Saito & Yoshioka 1993).

Remarks. This species used to be considered as a forma of Liolophura japonica ( Leloup 1939; Van Belle 1980). But Saito & Yoshioka (1993) regarded it as a distinct species (see remarks of L. japonica ). Kaas et al. (2006) considered it also as a form of L. japonica . We follow here Saito & Yoshioka (1993).
