Bopyrella tanytelson Markham, 1982

Bopyrella tanytelson Markham, 1985b: 20–23 , fig. 10, table 1 [ Thailand, infesting Alpheus sp.]; Markham, 1990: 559–560 ( Hong Kong, infesting Synalpheus streptodactylus Coutière, 1905 ); Markham, 1992a: 298, table 1; Kensley, 2001: 223; Li, 2003: 139, 154, 157; Liu, 2008: 691.

MATERIAL EXAMINED: None.

HOSTS AND LOCALITIES: Infesting Synalpheus streptodactylus Coutière, 1905 , Alpheus sp. ( Alpheidae ), Hong Kong, Thailand.

REMARKS: As noted by Markham, the mentions by Miya (1972) and Monod (1976) of bopyrids on Synalpheus streptodactylus from Japan and New Caledonia, respectively, could be Bopyrella tanytelson , but no specimens

from these collections have ever been critically examined.
