Remarks. Panaietis satsuma n. sp. differs from P. haliotis and P. malleolata in both rami of legs 1 to 4 bearing spatulate spines in female (vs. slender pointed spines) (see Sars 1918, pl. CXII; Yamaguti 1936, figs 21–24). The new species is distinguished from P. yamagutii by having the free exopod of leg 5 situated on the lateral surface of the pedigerous somite in both sexes (vs. located posteroventrally on pedigerous somite) (see Izawa 1976, fig. 37, 50). Panaietis satsuma n. sp. is distinguished from P. incamerata and P. doraconis n. sp. by having a pentagonal free exopod on leg 5 (vs. rod-like shaped) (present study).
Attachment site. The pharynx and esophagus.
Etymology. The specific name, satsuma, is derived from the old name of the type locality, Kagoshima prefecture. The name is used as a noun in apposition.
Newly established Japanese name for species. Benishiridaka-no-haramushi.
