771887DEB51CFF9C568CFECCFBE9F8A4.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Spiropagurus monospinosus sp. nov. is unique in the genus by the carpus of the chelipeds having only one longitudinal row of spines. This new species is morphologically most similar to S. profundorum, and it differs from the latter by the following characters: the new species only bears one row of spines on the carpus of the chelipeds rather than two rows of spines in S. profundorum; the new species bears no spine or only one spine on the distal margin of the carpus of the chelipeds rather than 4 – 6 spines in S. profundorum; the new species bears 6 spines in the median cleft of the telson, while S. profundorum bears 8 – 10 spines.	en	Han, Yuan-Yuan, An, Jian-Mei, Sha, Zhong-Li (2016): A review of the genus Spiropagurus Stimpson, 1858 (Crustacea: Decapoda: Paguridae) from the China seas.

771887DEB515FF93568CFC5CFBB7FD93.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Spiropagurus spiriger is easily recognized by the dorsal surface of the ocular peduncles bearing several short transverse rows of setae. The character of the present materials generally agrees with the original description. However, the chelipeds of only one of all the specimens is asymmetrical (the left cheliped is prominent larger than the right cheliped). The asymmetrical is abnormal for this genus, and all the other characters are similar to those of other specimens. Therefore, this should be considered variation in this species. The maximum shield length of S. spiriger was reported as 7.80 mm (McLaughlin et al. 2007), but the present materials have expand the range to 9.00 mm. Additionally, some specimens with the median cleft of the telson only bearing one spine were found in the present materials. However, the specimens are smaller (SL not longer than 4.5 mm) and the sexual tube of the males are not well developed. We believe these specimens are juveniles.	en	Han, Yuan-Yuan, An, Jian-Mei, Sha, Zhong-Li (2016): A review of the genus Spiropagurus Stimpson, 1858 (Crustacea: Decapoda: Paguridae) from the China seas.
