Hosts: Upogebia isaeffi (Balss, 1913), U. major (De Haan, 1841), U. yokoyai Makarov, 1938.
Remarks: One male host from SMF 30525 cited above was also infested with a pair of Gyge ovalis (Shiino, 1939) in the right branchial chamber. SMF 30597 contains 20 male (6.7–19.2 mm CL) and 10 female (16.6–24.5 mm CL) U. issaeffi; Sakai (2006: 120) listed this material but made no mention of clams on any specimen in this lot. SMF 30529 contains four male (5.2–9.5 mm CL) and one female (7.2 mm CL) U. yokoyai without associates, as well as a juvenile grapsoid crab.
