Material examined.
SC064 (ovigerous female): 20.75 mm TL, host Selar crumenophthalmus , Sibuyan Sea. SC064 (male): 12.26 mm TL, same data as preceding.
Additional material examined.
Four ovigerous females with a size range of 14.72-25.44 mm TL and four males with a size range of 7.17-12.26 mm TL collected from the same host, S. crumenophthalmus , captured in the Sibuyan Sea. SC020 (female): 24.24 mm TL SC020 (male): 10.71 mm TL, SC030 (female): 23.34 mm TL, SC030 (male): 11.93 mm TL, SC050 (female): 25.44 mm TL, SC050 (male): 11.77 mm TL, SC086 (female): 14.72 mm TL, SC086 (male): 7.17 mm TL.
Morphological description of female.
Body twisted; dorsal surface smooth and polished appearance; ventral area soft; narrowest body part at pereonite 1; widest body part at pereonite 4. Cephalon: Triangular shape with rounded apex. Eyes: large and circular. Perionites: seven in total. Perionite 1: shortest in length. Perionites 6 and 7 narrower compared to perionites 1-5. Pleonites: narrow and positioned just behind perionite 7 overlapping with pleonite 2. Pleotelson: triangular and posteriorly pointed; dorsal surface smooth. Uropods: weak and short; visible on both sides of pleotelson in dorsal view; length not extending beyond pleotelson. Pereopods: seven pairs of soft-fleshed pereopods; pereopod 1 smallest; pereopods 2-7 gradually increasing in size. Color in preserved state: dorsal surface generally brown; anterior region light brown, transitioning to darker color towards posterior region; ventral area creamy white; pleotelson dark brown with light edges; uropods ranging from white to transparent; pereopods white.
Morphological description of male.
Body size and shape: significantly smaller than females; body rather straight than twisted; dorsal surface smooth; ventral area predominantly covered with pereopods; narrowest body part at pereonite 1; widest body part at pereonite 5. Cephalon: triangular shape and rounded apex. Eyes: large and oval. Perionites: seven in total. Perionite 1 shortest. Perionites 1-4 with straight posterior margins. Perionites 5-7 with slightly concave posterior margins. Pleonites: narrow and positioned just behind perionite 7 overlapping with pleonite 1. Pleotelson: triangular and bluntly pointed; dorsal surface smooth. Uropods: weak; visible on both sides of pleotelson and nearly reaching apex of the pleotelson in dorsal view. Pereopods: seven pairs of soft-fleshed pereopods; pereopod 1 smallest; pereopods 2-4 approximately similar in size; pereopods 5-7 largest in size. Color in preserved state: dorsal surface pale brown with distinct black chromatophores; ventral area creamy white with brown coloration along edges; pleotelson dark brown with light brown edges; uropods ranging from white to transparent; pereopods white.
