Redescription of Sternomoera moneronensis (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Gammaridea) from Moneron Island, the Russian Far East

Abstract

Sternomoera moneronensis Labay, 1997, a poorly known freshwater amphipod, is redescribed based on newly collected specimens from its type locality, Moneron Island in the northern Sea of Japan. Certain inaccuracies of the original description, viz., the shape of the antennal sinus of the head and the number of sternal gills on the ventral margin of pereonite 7, are corrected.
