1. Genus Holmesiella Ortmann, 1908Type species: H. anomala Ortmann, 1908.Eyes large, spherical. Antennal scale long, straight, extends beyond distal margin<strong>of</strong> antennular peduncle. Endopod <strong>of</strong> male pleopod 4 longer than exopod, with long andstrong seta on apex. Telson elongate, triangular; apex narrowly truncate, with one pair<strong>of</strong> plumose setae and two pairs <strong>of</strong> spines; inner pair <strong>of</strong> spines noticeably shorter thanouter pair; distal 1/2–2/3 <strong>of</strong> lateral margin <strong>of</strong> telson with spines gradually increasing inlength towards apex <strong>of</strong> telson.The genus consists <strong>of</strong> two species, one <strong>of</strong> which is found in the Sea <strong>of</strong> Japan.Ortmann, 1908: 6–7.1. Holmesiella anomala Ortmann, 1908(Pl. III, figs. 1–7)Description. Second and third segments <strong>of</strong> antennular peduncle have ordinaryarticulation: margin <strong>of</strong> third segment does not cover dorsally distal part <strong>of</strong> secondsegment. Antennal scale lanceolate, 3–5.5 times as long as broad; distal spine-likedenticle on its outer margin does not reach its apex. Endopod <strong>of</strong> male pleopod 4 verymuch elongate, 2.7–3.4 times longer than exopod. Telson 1.5–2.0 times as long asbroad at base; lateral margins armed with 11 to 22 spines. Maximum length <strong>of</strong> males39.3 mm, maximum length <strong>of</strong> females 45.8 mm.Distribution. H. anomala is a widespread Pacific boreal species, distributedfrom the Sea <strong>of</strong> Japan coast <strong>of</strong> Korea (36°19′N, 129°47′E), Sagami Bay, and the south<strong>of</strong> California to the Bering Sea (the crosspiece <strong>of</strong> Olyutorsky Cape). The species hasbeen recorded in the Sea <strong>of</strong> Japan only once.Habitat and breeding. H. anomala is a sublittoral-upper bathyal species, verticallydistributed from 10–25 m to a depth <strong>of</strong> 1320 m. It is mainly found in the upperbathyal zone and moves to the sublittoral and epipelagic zones apparently in course <strong>of</strong>daily vertical migrations. It is found in waters with a temperature <strong>of</strong> -1.7° to +4°C anda salinity <strong>of</strong> 29.5–34.35‰. H. anomala occurs predominantly over silty and sandy bottoms.There are no records for the breeding <strong>of</strong> this species in the Sea <strong>of</strong> Japan.2. Genus Meterythrops Smith, 1879Type species: M. robusta Smith, 1879.Eyes spherical. Antennal scale elongate and lanceolate, or diamond-shaped; extendsto distal margin <strong>of</strong> antennular peduncle. Anterior margin <strong>of</strong> carapace producedinto triangular rostral plate with broadly rounded apex. Endopod <strong>of</strong> male pleopod 1one-segmented, exopod many-segmented. Telson elongate, triangular, with slightlytruncated apex; lateral margins smooth, unarmed; apex with two pairs <strong>of</strong> spines andone pair <strong>of</strong> median plumose setae.This genus consists <strong>of</strong> five species, two <strong>of</strong> which inhabit the Sea <strong>of</strong> Japan.47
