A new intertidal species of the melitid amphipod, , from the Wakayama Prefecture, Japan, is identified and described. differs from the similar and by its black-and-white body color, well-developed anterodistal projection of the male gnathopod 1 propodus, and telson armature. Molecular phylogenetic analyses based on the nuclear 28S rRNA and mitochondrial COI genes support that is closely related to and .
一种来自日本和歌山县的新的潮间带梅利蒂德双足类动物被鉴定并描述。它与相似的[物种名称1]和[物种名称2]的区别在于其黑白相间的体色、雄性第1颚足腕节发达的前远端突出以及尾节刚毛。基于核28S rRNA和线粒体COI基因的分子系统发育分析支持[物种名称]与[物种名称1]和[物种名称2]密切相关。
