Material examined. Papua New Guinea: 1 ov. female (pocl 3.0), OUMNH.ZC.2011-02-0026, New Ireland, Nusalik, seagrass bed, leg. M. Dowell, 28.08.2004. Republic of Palau: 1 ov. female (pocl 2.2), 2 females (pocl 1.5, 1,7), OUMNH.ZC.2012-01-076, Palau, outside of Malakal Harbour, 7.27065 134.46523, 55 m, light trap, leg. S. De Grave & C. Burras, 31.05.2002 [st 288].
Colour pattern. Not recorded.
Remarks. All specimens agree with the re-description of the type material in Nouvel (1945) and the description of Kenyan material in Hayashi (1975).
Ecology. Both Ledoyer (1984) and Unsworth et al. (2007, 2010) record C. coutierei from shallow water seagrass beds, 8 m and less than 2 m, respectively. Unsworth et al. (2010) showed that the species has a particularly pronounced diurnal change in abundance, which is likely to account for the paucity of records. Interestingly, the specimens from Palau were collected at 55 m depth, the deepest the species has been recorded so far.
Distribution. This species was considered to be very rare by Hayashi (1975), as at that time it was only known from Djibouti and Kenya. Since then, it has been recorded from New Caledonia (Ledoyer 1984), Oahu, Hawaii (Titgen 1987), Sulawesi, Indonesia (Unsworth et al. 2007, 2010), and is herein recorded from Papua New Guinea and Palau.

Fiene, 30.11.2008 [G-08-087, Pittman-1081130]; 1 female (pocl 1.7), FLMNH UF 15205, Maui, Wahikuli Beach Park, 20.9189 -156.6644, Halimeda bed, 6–12 m, algal wash, leg. P. Fiene, 30.11.2008 [G-08-088, Pittman-1081130].
Colour pattern. Semitransparent with irregular large white areas on carapace and abdomen (some possibly covering internal organs); isolated patches of red chromatophores present on carapace, e.g., around orbits, and on abdomen, here forming faint red bands; antennular peduncles with small white patch distally; third maxilliped white proximally, greyish-white with red chromatophores distally; first pereiopods mostly white; remaining pereiopods transparent with some red chromatophores; tail fan with large white patches (Fig. 2).
Remarks. The material from Hawaii and Moorea corresponds closely to the description by Hayashi (1975).
Ecology. Although the ecology of this species is still poorly known, it appears to occur in reef-associated environments, e.g., Halimeda beds, lagoon reefs and pools, between low tide mark and 12 m (Hayashi, 1975; present records).
Distribution. This species appears to be widespread in the Indo-Pacific, although it has been only formally recorded from a few scattered localities. Hayashi (1975) provided records of C. molaris from Rongelap and Bikini atolls (Marshall Islands), Paternoster Island (currently Kepulauan Tengah) (Indonesia), Eilat (Red Sea) and Kenya. Devaney & Bruce (1987) provided the only further record, from Enewetak Atoll (Marshall Islands). The present records constitute the first for the species from French Polynesia and Hawaii.

Material examined. Republic of Palau: 1 female (pocl 7.4), OUMNH.ZC.2012-01-075, Palau, outside of Malakal Harbour, 7.27065 134.46523, 55m, light trap, leg. S. De Grave & C. Burras, 31.05.2002 [st 288].
Colour pattern. Not recorded.
Remarks. The single specimen presents no noteworthy features and corresponds closely to the descriptions in De Man (1920) and Hayashi (1975), with the broadly triangular rostrum being highly characteristic for the species.
Ecology. Ledoyer (1984) and Unsworth et al. (2010) found H. japonicus to be particularly abundant in nocturnal seagrass bed samples in New Caledonia and Sulawesi, respectively. However, the depth range of the species (0–150 m) indicates that it is not exclusively associated with seagrass beds.
Distribution. This species is widely distributed in the Indo-Pacific, from East Africa through Indonesia and the Philippines to Japan (Hayashi 1975; Noël 1986; Chace 1997) and Korea (Kim et al. 2011), and has been recorded from almost intertidal depths down to 150 m (Noël 1986). The present new record from Palau constitutes the eastern-most record for the species.

Material examined. Singapore: 4 ov. females (pocl 8.6-8.7), ZRC 2012.0974, Pulau Ubin, Chek Jawa, leg. N. Sivasothi et al., 24.07.2001. Malaysia: 1 ov. female (pocl 5.0), ZRC 2012.0975, Pulau Tioman, Paya Beach, leg. NUS Honours Field Class, 07– 12.09.2002.

Colour pattern. Not recorded.
Remarks. The specimens assigned herein to N. gurneyi have the pleuron of the fifth abdominal somite acutely pointed and the stylocerite mesially and laterally pointed, thus fitting the diagnosis of the species in Hayashi (1975). It is acknowledged, however, that Noël (1986) suggested that N. gurneyi may be synonymous with N. danae, a taxonomic subject beyond the scope of the present study.
Ecology. According to Ledoyer (1984), N. gurneyi co-occurs with N. danae in shallow seagrass beds. As with that species, other records (see Hayashi 1975) suggest the species is not restricted to seagrass beds, and equally deeper water records are known, down to 27 m (Hayashi 1975).
Distribution. The distribution of the species is unclear, due to confusion in older literature with the closely related N. danae. According to Hayashi (1975), the species is known from Sumatra (Indonesia), Egypt (Red Sea), Kenya, Tanzania and Mozambique. The only further records are by Ledoyer (1984) from New Caledonia and the present records from Singapore, Malaysia and Taiwan.

Colour pattern. Semitransparent with small white spots on posterior half of abdomen; red chromatophores on frontal margin of carapace near rostral base; small patch of white chromatophores on each eyestalk; walking legs mostly transparent (Fig. 7 A).
Remarks. The French Polynesian material closely adheres to the description of Hayashi (1975), with the rudimental exopod on the third maxilliped and the short, simple rostrum being diagnostic for the species.
Ecology. On the basis of the present records and scattered information in the literature (summarised in Hayashi, 1975), P. hawaiensis seems to frequent coral reefs rather than seagrass beds, usually in coral rubble. The depth range appears to be around 0– 5 m.
Distribution. This species is currently known from a widely disjunct distribution in the Indo-Pacific, being primarily recorded from the central and eastern Pacific: Maui and Oahu (Hawaii), Clipperton Island (Hayashi 1975), Nayarit and Jalisco (Mexico) (Alvarez et al. 1996; Ayón-Parente et al. 2012) and now also French Polynesia (present study). However, the species is also known from the western Indian Ocean, e.g., Kenya and Zanzibar (Hayashi 1975; Bruce 1976).

Material examined. Australia: 1 female (pocl 2.4), FLMNH UF 25889, Great Barrier Reef, Heron Island, - 23.4284 151.9546, leg. J. Reimer, 25.11.2006 [AUST-6507, HI09-104].
Colour pattern. Semitransparent with patches of white chromatophores (some on internal organs), especially dense on and near tail fan, and patches of red chromatophores, mainly on carapace, third maxilliped, first pereiopods, bases of fifth pereiopods and pleopods, and tail fan (Fig. 7 B).
Remarks. The single individual from Heron Island presents no special morphological features, fitting the diagnosis of P. s u lc a ta in Hayashi (1975).
Ecology. The ecology of P. s u l c a t a is poorly known, with the present record not alleviating this situation. Most of the literature records are from dredged material, with no information on bottom characteristics. Hayashi (1975) states that P. s u l c a t a was collected from “seaweed and sessile marine invertebrates, which get entangled in the gill nets used for fishing spiny lobsters”, and also indicates it to be present in seagrass beds. However, the species does appear to have a considerable depth range, 0–123 m (Chace, 1997).
Distribution. The species is widespread in the Indo-Pacific, with records from South Africa, Arabian Sea, Java, Vietnam, Japan (Hayashi 1975), Madagascar (Noël 1986), Hong Kong (Bruce 1990), Queensland (Davie 2002), the Persian Gulf (De Grave 2007; De Grave & Ashelby 2011) and Korea (Kim et al. 2011). The inclusion of “South America ” in the distribution for P. s u l c a t a by Chace (1997) is considered a lapsus for South Africa.

Material examined. Singapore: 1 ov. female (pocl 4.3), ZRC 2012.0977, Pulau Busing, fouling community, leg. J.B. Sigurdsson, 01.05.1987; 1 female (pocl 4.2), ZRC 2012.0978, Sultan Shoal, leg. R. Teo & T.M. Sin, 26.02.1994.
Colour pattern. Unknown.
Remarks. Johnson (1962) recorded the closely related P. australiensis Baker, 1907 from Halophyllum pools at Changi Beach, but the present material is assigned to P. zostericola on account of the stylocerite having no lateral tooth, an antennal spine being present and the presence of a blunt process on the basicerite (see Hayashi 1975). It is currently not clear if both species occur in Singapore or whether the material identified as P. australiensis in Johnson (1962), which is now in very poor condition, refers to the present species.
Ecology. The species typically lives in littoral seagrass beds (Hayashi 1975; Ledoyer 1984; Unsworth et al. 2007, 2010), the habitat from which the present specimens were obtained was not detailed.
Distribution. This species was previously only known with certainty from Japan (Hayashi 1975), Noumea (Ledoyer 1984), southern Sulawesi (Unsworth et al. 2007, 2010) and Korea (Kim et al. 2011) and is now newly recorded from Singapore.

Description. Body length 3.7–4.7 mm, dorsal surface light brown without metallic reflection. Eyes weakly prominent. Antennomere 1 unusually enlarged. Pronotum round, widest across before middle, posterior margin similar wide as the anterior one; with large and confluent punctures, distance 0.5–1 puncture diameters, some punctures with short erect setae; surface convex and shining, disc without impressions; lateral margins not beaded; posterior corners rounded; prothoracic hypomera with similar punctures as on pronotum, but without visible setation. Elytra ovate with irregular punctation, not arranged in regular rows and intervals, punctures large as on pronotum but not confluent, punctures adjacent to suture forming two irregular rows; some punctures with short erect setae; lateral intervals without setiferous pores; surface shining. Apex of elytra not prolonged. All femora without teeth or sharp angles. Tibiae of both sexes simple, without peculiarities. Apicale of aedeagus triangular with rounded apex (Fig. 18).
Diagnosis. L. brunkei sp. n. shares with L. burckhardti Schawaller, 1998 from Thailand and L. kresli Schawaller, 2014 from Laos (known only from the type loacalties) the small body size, the unarmed femora and the elytra with irregular punctation without separation into punctural rows and intervals. Additional species with irregularly punctured elytra are so far unknown in southeastern Asia. L. brunkei sp. n. can be separated from both by lacking elytral setiferous pores, and by rough and confluent pronotal punctures. The aedeagi of these three species are similar, compare the figures in Schawaller (1998, 2014). See also figures and diagnosis of L. honba sp. n. below.
Etymology. Named in honour of Adam J. Brunke (Ottawa), one of the collectors of the type series.

Description. Body length 4.0– 4.8 mm, dorsal surface dark brownish with a feeble greenish lustre, legs distictly lighter. Eyes not prominent. Pronotum trapezoid, widest across anterior angles, posterior margin distinctly narrower than the anterior one; with large separated punctures, distance 0.5–3 puncture diameters, a few punctures laterally with long erect setae; surface convex and shining, disc in middle without impression(s), lateral margins distinctly beaded; posterior corners rounded; prothoracic hypomera with similar punctures as on pronotum but without visible setation. Elytra elongate oval with rows of punctures in feeble striae, punctures of rows similar as punctures on pronotum, some punctures laterally and at elytral declivity with long erect setae; intervals with very few glabrous punctures, interval 9 with 5 distinct setiferous pores, intervals convex, external intervals stronger convex and nearly keel-like; surface shining.Apex of elytra prolonged.All femora without teeth or sharp angles. Tibiae simple, without peculiarities. Apicale of aedeagus long triangular with acute apex (Fig. 15).
Diagnosis. Laena faillei sp. n. shares with L. vietnamica Masumoto, 1995 and L. hystrix Masumoto, 1996, both from Vietnam, the general body size and shape, the beaded lateral margins of the pronotum, and the unarmed femora. However, in L. vietnamica and L. hystrix the dorsal side is without metallic luster, the punctures of the pronotum and elytra are smaller and denser, nearly all dorsal punctures bear long erect setae, and the elytral intervals are nearly flat. Both mentioned species are described without figures of the aedeagus.
Etymology. Named in honour of my colleague Arnaud Faille (Stuttgart), one of the collectors of the type series.

Laena honba

description: Laena honba sp. n.
(Figs 7, 17)
Type material. Holotype: ♁, Vietnam, Cam Lam, Suoi Cat, Hon Ba NR, 1350–1550 m, 14.XI.2013, leg. A. Faille, SMNS (right antenna lacking).
Description. Body length 3 mm, dorsal surface dark brownish without metallic reflection. Eyes slightly prominent. Pronotum round, widest across middle, posterior margin not narrower than the anterior one; with large separated punctures, distance 1–4 puncture diameters, punctures without setae; surface convex and shining, disc in middle without impression(s), lateral margins distinctly beaded; posterior corners rounded; prothoracic hypomera with sparser and smaller punctures as on pronotum, without visible setation. Elytra round with rows of punctures without striae, punctures of rows similar as punctures on pronotum, punctures without setae; intervals without punctures, interval 9 with 3 indistinct setiferous pores, internal intervals flat, external intervals slightly convex; surface shining. Apex of elytra slightly prolonged. All femora without teeth or sharp angles. Tibiae simple, without peculiarities. Apicale of aedeagus narrow triangular with acute apex (Fig. 17).
Diagnosis. Laena honba sp. n. is characterised by a small body size and shining surface, by round pronotum with separated large and glabrous punctures, by beaded lateral margins of the pronotum, by round elytra with regular rows of large and glabrous punctures, and by unarmed femora. A similar species is so far unknown from Vietnam, Laos and southeastern China. Laena kresli Schawaller, 2014 from Laos is somewhat similar, but has the elytra with irregular punctures not arranged in rows and intervals, and the apicale of the aedeagus is shorter. See also figures and diagnosis of L. brunkei sp. n. above.
Etymology. Named after the Hon Ba Nature Reserve, where the holotype was collected.

Type material. Holotype: ♁, Vietnam, Lai Châu Prov., NW Sa Pa, Tram Ton Pass, Fan Si Pan trail, 1920 m, 25.VI.1973, leg. H. Schillhammer & al., NHMW.
Description. Body length 8.5 mm, dorsal surface blackish without metallic reflection. Eyes prominent. Pronotum cordiform, widest across anterior third, posterior margin distinctly narrower than the anterior one; with separated punctures, distance 1–4 puncture diameters, most punctures with long erect setae; surface convex and shining, disc in middle with a pair of weak impressions, lateral margins distinctly beaded; posterior corners rounded; prothoracic hypomera with similar punctures as on pronotum but without visible setation. Elytra elongate with rows of punctures without striae, punctures of rows larger and denser than punctures on pronotum, punctures with long erect setae; intervals with fine punctures, most with long erect setae, interval 9 with 5 distinct setiferous pores, internal intervals feebly convex, external intervals distinctly convex; surface shining. Apex of elytra prolonged. All femora each with a distinct acute tooth. Tibiae simple, without peculiarities. Apicale of aedeagus triangular with broadly rounded apex (Fig. 11).
Diagnosis. L. tramtonica sp. n. shares with L. tamdaoensis Masumoto, 1996 the large body size, the cordiform pronotum medially with a pair of weak impressions and with beaded lateral margins, and the femora each with a distinct tooth. However, in L. tramtonica sp. n. the eyes are prominent, the punctures of the pronotum and elytral intervals are distinctly smaller and more separate, and the apicale of the aedeagus has a broadly rounded apex (compare Figs. 11, 12). L. tonkinensis Schuster, 1926 from Chapa (= Sa Pa) and L. fanjingshanana Ren & Hua, 2006 from China (Guangxi) are also large and have the lateral margins of the pronotum beaded, but the femora are unarmed. In L. fanjingshanana the apicale of the aedeagus is triangular with rounded apex (Fig. 13), in L. tonkinensis the aedeagus is unknown so far.
Etymology. Named after the Tram Ton Pass, where the holotype was collected.

New material. China, C Guangxi, Yingxi Xian, Dayao Shan, Mt. Shenlong, 1961 m, V–VI.2012, leg. M. Häckel & K. & R. Sehnal, 2 ex. SMNS.
Redescription. Body length 9.6–9.8 mm, dorsal surface blackish without metallic reflection. Eyes weakly prominent. Pronotum cordiform, widest across anterior third, posterior margin distinctly narrower than the anterior one; with separated punctures, distance 1–4 puncture diameters, punctures without setae; surface convex and shining, disc with a pair impressions slightly posteriorly the middle and one not paired anteriorly; lateral margins beaded; posterior corners rounded; prothoracic hypomera with similar punctures as on pronotum and also without visible setation. Elytra elongate with rows of punctures in weak striae, punctures of rows larger than punctures on pronotum, punctures without setae; intervals with a few fine punctures without setae, interval 9 with 4 indistinct setiferous pores, internal intervals feebly convex, external intervals distinctly convex; surface shining. Apex of elytra prolonged. All femora without teeth. Tibiae of both sexes simple, without peculiarities. Apicale of aedeagus triangular with rounded apex (Fig. 13).
Remarks. This large species known from Guangxi, Fanjingshan was described in a hardly accessible paper written in the Chinese language (Ren & Hua 2006). The body length was given as 8.0– 8.5 mm. A photograph or drawing of the dorsal view is missing. The drawing of the aedeagus shows an apicale with a knob-like apex, which is quite unusual in the genus and probably based on wrong observation. The authors hope not to fail in assigning the newly collected above-listed specimens from the Dayao Shan to L. fanjingshanana. This locality lies not far from the locus typicus Fanjingshan in Guangxi. The above-given redescription is based on the new material.

Type material. Holotype: ♁, China, Hainan Isl., Bawangling Forest Park, 12.3 km SE Baotie, 1050 m, 8.V.2011, leg. M. Fikáček, NMPC. Paratypes. Same data as for holotype, 2 ex. SMNS.— China, Hainan Isl., Limushan, above Forest Centre, 650–900 m, 6.V.2011, leg. M. Fikáček, 2 ex. NMPC.
Description. Body length 3.8–4.2 mm, dorsal surface dark brown without metallic reflection. Eyes weakly prominent. Pronotum cordiform, widest across anterior third, posterior margin distinctly narrower than the anterior one; with large, partly confluent punctures, distance 0.5–2 puncture diameters, most punctures with long erect setae; surface feebly convex and shining, disc without impressions; lateral margins strongly beaded; posterior corners rounded; prothoracic hypomera with similar but sparser punctures than on pronotum, and with shorter setation. Elytra ovate with rows of punctures without striae, punctures of rows of similar size as punctures on pronotum, punctures without setae; intervals with a few scattered fine punctures with long erect setae, interval 9 with 3 indistinct setiferous pores, internal intervals feebly convex, external intervals distinctly convex; surface shining. Apex of elytra not prolonged. All femora without teeth. Tibiae of both sexes simple, without peculiarities. Apicale of aedeagus broad triangular with rounded apex, see Fig. 19.
Diagnosis. Laena hainanica sp. n. is the second known endemic species from the Hainan Island besides Laena dentatocrassa Zhao & Ren, 2012 (Jianfengling NR). On the contrary, this species is larger (5–6 mm), pronotum and elytra are more elongate, pronotum is widest near anterior angles, lateral margins of the pronotum are only feebly beaded, all femora each with a distinct and massive tooth, and the apicle of the aedeagus is broad spade-like with truncate apex.
Etymology. Named after the Hainan Island, where the species was collected.

Type material. Holotype: ♁, China, Guangdong, W Qixing, Heishiding NR, 190–260 m, 1–3.V.2011, leg. M. Fikáček & J. Hájek, NMPC. Paratypes. Same data as for holotype, 2 ex. NMPC, 1 ex. SMNS.
Description. Body length 5.0– 5.6mm, dorsal surface dark brown with a metallic reflection of head and pronotum. Eyes not prominent. Pronotum cordiform, widest across anterior third, posterior margin distinctly narrower than the anterior one; with large, but not confluent punctures, distance 1–3 puncture diameters, most punctures with long erect setae; surface feebly convex and shining, disc without impressions; lateral margins strongly beaded; posterior corners rounded; prothoracic hypomera with similar punctures as on pronotum, but without visible setation. Elytra elongate with rows of punctures without striae, punctures of rows of similar size as punctures on pronotum, punctures with long erect setae; intervals without punctures, interval 9 with 3 indistinct setiferous pores, internal intervals feebly convex, external intervals distinctly convex; surface shining. Apex of elytra not prolonged. All femora without teeth. Tibiae of both sexes simple, without peculiarities. Apicale of aedeagus long triangular, with acute apex, basale long, see Fig. 20.
Diagnosis. This is the first species from the Guangdong Province. It is similar concerning the general body shape, beaded lateral margins of pronotum, and dorsal punctation to Laena hongkongica Schawaller & Aston, 2017 from adjacent Hongkong, but this species can be separated by the presence of a longitudinal impression at the basal part of the pronotum, by the elytral intervals with punctures and setation, by the anterior femora without and the middle and posterior femora with acute teeth, and by the apicale of the aedeagus short and broad and with truncate apex.
Etymology. Named in honour of Jiři Hájek (Prague), one of the collectors of the type series, as an appreciation for long-term and trustful cooperation.

Apex of elytra not prolonged. All femora with small but distinct teeth. Tibiae in males simple, without peculiarities.Apicale of aedeagus long and narrow triangular with acute apex, see Fig. 14.
Diagnosis. L. lianhua sp. n. shares with L. hlavaci Schawaller, 2008 also from Jiangxi the armature of the femora, the dorsal erect setation, and the unbeaded lateral margins of the pronotum, but in L. lianhua sp. n. the elytra are broader, the pronotum is also broader with denser punctation, and the apicale of the aedeagus is longer and narrower.
Etymology. Named after the Lianhua Forest Park, where the holotype was collected.
