Genus Goniopugettia Sakai, 1986

Remarks

There are currently two species in this genus, of which Goniopugettia tanakae Sakai, 1986, is the type species (subsequent designation by Ng et al. 2008: 103). Little is known of the type species, Goniopugettia tanakae, and the original description is brief, in Japanese (see Sakai 1986: 2), and with only a single figure (Sakai 1986: frontispiece fig. 3). Moreover, this species has not been reported again since its description. There is a need to examine the type material of Sakai (1986) to re-define the genus and type species more accurately.
