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

IV, figs. 1–4)Smith, 1879: 93 (Meterythrops robusta); G.O. Sars, 1879: 98 (Parerythrops robusta).Description. Eyes large, spherical, 2 times as long as first segment <strong>of</strong> antennularpeduncle; extend beyond lateral margins <strong>of</strong> carapace in dorsal view. Antennal scaleusually lanceolate, rarer diamond-shaped, 1.8–4 times as long as broad (usually 2–3times). Distal part <strong>of</strong> scale, extending beyond base <strong>of</strong> spine on outer margin, comprises0.28 to 0.5 <strong>of</strong> whole length <strong>of</strong> antennal scale (usually about 1/3). Maximum length<strong>of</strong> females 21.0 mm, maximum length <strong>of</strong> males 24.0 mm (in the Tatar Strait – correspondingly10.2 mm and 13.6 mm).Distribution. M. robusta is an amphiboreal-arctic species. In the Atlantic Oceanand in the Arctic it is known from the eastern coast <strong>of</strong> the USA (40° N) and southernNorway to Greenland (69° N near the western coast), the eastern Murman Coast, andalong the continental slope <strong>of</strong> the Arctic basin to the East Siberian Sea (78°06.3′N,154°15.7′E). In the Pacific Ocean it is distributed from the Strait <strong>of</strong> Juan de Fuca, thesouth-western coast <strong>of</strong> Sakhalin Island and the eastern coast <strong>of</strong> Iturup Island (Kurils)to the Bering Sea (60° N).In the Sea <strong>of</strong> Japan it has been recorded only in the Tatar Strait <strong>of</strong>f the southwesterncoast <strong>of</strong> Sakhalin, near the villages <strong>of</strong> Kalinino and Antonovo.Habitat and breeding. M. robusta occurs in the sublittoral and upper bathyalzones, between 17 and 620 m <strong>of</strong> depth: it is common in the Pacific in depths from 100to 200 m, and in the Tatar Strait it is found in depths from 60 to 125 m. It occurs inwaters with a temperature from -1.8° to +15°C and a salinity <strong>of</strong> 29.5–35‰, usuallyover sandy and silty bottoms, sometimes mixed with stones. There are no records forthe breeding <strong>of</strong> this species in the Sea <strong>of</strong> Japan.2. Meterythrops microphthalma Tattersall, 1951(Pl. IV, figs. 5–7)Tattersall, 1951: 113–116 (Meterythrops microphthalma); Taniguchi, 1969: 47–48 (Meterythropsrobusta).Description. Eyes relatively small, almost equal in length to first segment <strong>of</strong> antennularpeduncle, do not extend beyond lateral margins <strong>of</strong> carapace in dorsal view.Antennal scale diamond-shaped, 2.1–3.8 times as long as broad. Distal part <strong>of</strong> scale,extending beyond base <strong>of</strong> robust spine on outer margin, comprises 1/3–1/2 <strong>of</strong> wholelength <strong>of</strong> antennal scale (usually about 2/5). Maximum body length all over area <strong>of</strong>distribution, as well as in Sea <strong>of</strong> Japan: <strong>of</strong> females 23.5 mm, <strong>of</strong> males 24.6 mm.48
