Redescriptions of two anomuran crustaceans, Uroptychusjaponicus Ortmann, 1892 (Chirostylidae) and Munidopsis taurulus Ortmann, 1892 (Galatheidae), based upon the type material

Abstract

Uroptychus japonicus Ortmann, 1892 and Munidopsis taurulus Ortmann, 1892, both known only from Japan, are redescribed based upon the type material, now in the collection of the Musee Zoologique, Strasbourg. Munidopsis hastifer Benedict, 1902, another species known only by the type material from Japan, is synonymized with M. taurulus.
