Remarks.
Mongoloniscus vannamei distinctly differs from all other Mongoloniscus species by the noduli laterales on pereonites 2–4 and 7 which are much farther from the lateral margins than those on pereonites 1, 5, and 6. We recognized this species based on the diagnostic characters among the similar genera Mongoloniscus, Lucasioides, Agnara, Koreoniscus and Protracheoniscus (Kwon 1993), and found that all the traits of M. vannamei match the generic characters of Lucasioides, except for its epimeron of pereonite 1 was not bent outwards. Furthermore, M. vannamei, L. gigliotosi and L. isseli formed a clade with high support (PP = 1.00, BS = 95 %) according to the results of the phylogenetic analysis (Fig. 2). Thus, M. vannamei must be transferred to Lucasioides. For species descriptions and illustrations, see Kwon (1993).
