Subfamily Tritodynamiinae Števčić, 2005

Tritodynamia dilatata Yang & Sun, 1996 #

Tritodynamia dilatata — Wong et al. 2021: 66, fig. 104, pl. 20B; Ng and Ho 2023: 210.

Taxonomy: Yang and Sun (1996), Naruse and Ng (2010).

Type: Holotype ò BNHM-J96037 .

Type locality: Off east coast of Guangdong, China.

Distribution: South China: Guangdong and Fujian.

Habitat: Subtidal; on sandy substrates of depths less than 20 m.

Remarks: Ng and Ho (2023: 210) discussed the taxonomy of T. dilatata and T. longipropoda Dai , in Dai, Feng, Song & Cheng, 1980, both of which were described from Guangdong in southern China and suggested that they may be synonymous. The two species can only be separated by differences in the ambulatory leg proportions, and they noted that other characters used by Dai et al. (1980) T. longipropoda from T. dilatata are subjected to variation. The material from Hong Kong examined by Ng and Ho (2023: 201) was incorrectly listed under T. longipropoda by these authors.
