Remarks. The status of the genus Neognathophausia proposed by Petryashov (1992) (with two species N. ingens and N. gigas), synonymised with Gnathophausia by Casanova et al. (1998), Mees & Meland (2012) and Wittmann et al. (2014), is now reinstituted by Petryashov (2015).

Distribution. Widely distributed in almost all the oceans of the world (latitude range: 62ºN–70ºS).
Depth range. 600–6050 m.
Habitat. Meso- to abysso-pelagic.
Iberian Seas published records. Offshore species related to the Canary Archipelago (Fage 1942, Wittmann & Wirtz 1998, Haroun & Garrido 2003, Wittmann & Riera 2012). Azores (Nouvel 1943).
Remarks. This species is a bathypelagic form widely distributed in nearly all the oceans of the world. It was first recorded from the Antarctic and was for a long time regarded as essentially a southern form, but it has now been recorded from all the oceans of the world except the North Atlantic, the Arctic Ocean and the Mediterranean. It has most frequently been recorded from the tropical and sub-tropical waters of the Atlantic and Pacific, but also as far north as the Behring Sea, the coasts of Japan and the coasts of California, and as far south as Graham Land and the Ice Edge in the Bellingshausen Sea (Tattersall 1955, San Vicente 2010a).

Distribution
China (Yunnan), Thailand, Laos. This species is recorded for the first time from China.
Remarks
Aetheomorpha furcata Medvedev and Kantner, 2002 is close to A. decemnotata (Jacoby, 1892) in the colour pattern: the pronotum is completely fulvous and elytron is covered with four black spots. The obviously broad bidentate aedeagal apex is a useful character by which to recognize A. furcata Medvedev and Kantner. Moreover, this species also has the following characters: vertex and scutellum fulvous, body more slender, spermathecal duct very long, loosely coiled dozens of times with a thickened base. Moreover, the dorsal rectal sclerites are different from those in the other congeneric species, central sclerite is semicircular, lateral ones are sub-triangular.

Remarks
Aetheomorpha bacboensis Medvedev, 1992 is close to A. cochinchinensis Lefèvre, 1889, which is distributed in South Vietnam and Myanmar; but the former can be well distinguished by the fan-shaped aedeagal apex, obviously wider than long. Moreover, the spermathecal duct is very long, closely coiled into a ball. Ventral rectal sclerites are obviously kneeing (Figure 7H).

Remarks
This species is well defined by its characteristic colouration: elytra are completely bluish black and pronotum is fulvous with a central black band. Also, the aedeagal apex slightly bent ventrally; the spermathecal duct is long, irregularly coiled dozens of times and the dorsal central sclerite is sub-oblong.

Remarks
Aetheomorpha decemnotata (Jacoby, 1892) resembles A. furcata Medvedev and Kantner, 2002 in the dorsal colour pattern. But the former is more robust, the vertex is black, scutellum is relatively darker, and aedeagal apex is triangular. The spermathecal duct is very long and moderately coiled with a thicker base.

Distribution
China (Yunnan).
Remarks
This species is well characterized by an unusual sexual dimorphism in colouration: pronotum is fulvous with a dark central stripe; elytron is completely blue in female, and is fulvous with a broad lateral dark violaceous stripe in male. Moreover, the elytra have regular rows of punctures. According to the original description, the aedeagal apex is long and narrow.
We examined the holotype and two paratypes, all are males. The type locality of the holotype is “Weibaoshan mts.”, which differs from the original description “Meibaoshan mts.”.

The colour photograph of A. taiwana Chûjô, 1952, deposited in TARI, is available on line at http://timdm.tari.gov.tw/aic/detail.php?metadata=1&sid=24192348&genus= Aetheomorpha &species=taiwana&speauthor=. It is a syntype labelled: Taiwan, Kurau, 28 March 1935, leg. M. Chujo.
The colour photographs of holotype of A. bowditchi Gressitt and Kimoto, 1961 and its labels, deposited in MCZ, are available on line at http://insects.oeb.harvard. edu/mcz/FMPro?-db=species.fm&-format=species%5fcard%5ffull.htm&-lay=web&- sortfield=order&Genus=aetheomorpha&-max=10&-recid=12604331&-find=.
The holotype of A. bowditchi Gressitt and Kimoto bears the following labels: Yunnan, Museum of Comparative Zoology, D 152, MCZ Type 35485, Holotype, Aetheomorpha bowditchi Gressitt & Kimoto.
Based on the colour photographs and the original description of A. taiwana Chûjô, we can recognize this species by the following characters: pronotum has a sub-rhombic spot, elytron has a black lateral stripe and three black bands with the second one interrupted in the middle. We examined a paratype of A. bowditchi Gressitt and Kimoto and found the pronotum with a broad median stripe from anterior margin to basal margin and the elytron with three broad blackish bands and a black stripe laterally.
Kimoto (1974) treated A. bowditchi Gressitt and Kimoto as a synonym of A. taiwana Chûjô. As a result of different markings on pronotum and different bands on elytron, these two species differs from each other. However, without an opportunity to examine the holotypes of these two species, we leave the problem open for future study.
Kimoto (1974) mentioned in the citation of A. taiwana Chûjô that the original name was Cyaniris taiwana Chûjô, 1934. But this is not correct: A. taiwana is the original form and was described firstly by Chûjô (1952).
