2(1). Lateral processes and coxae 1 <strong>of</strong> legs bear several conical, truncated tubercles,larger ones <strong>of</strong> which have 2–4 tops; lateral processes separated by narrowintervals; chelifore slightly shorter than proboscis ................ *D. dogieli (p. 120)*Decachela discata Hilton, 1939(Pl. XVIII, figs. 1, 2)Hilton, 1939: 34; Hedgpeth, 1949: 280, fig. 37.Type specimen <strong>of</strong> this species was found <strong>of</strong>f the Californian coast. Hedgpeth(1949) identified it in the samples collected during the R/V Albatross’ voyage in 1906near the western shore <strong>of</strong> Hokkaido Island at a depth <strong>of</strong> 100 m.*Decachela dogieli Losina-Losinsky, 1961(Pl. XVIII, figs. 3–6)Losina-Losinsky, 1961: 88–90, fig. 16; Hong & Kim, 1987: 155–158, figs. 13, 14.Description. Trunk <strong>of</strong> males disk-shaped, with firm opaque integument,unsegmented. Frontal margin <strong>of</strong> cephalic segment expanded and bears irregularshapedtubercles without spines. Ocular tubercle low with unpigmented eyes androunded top, situated medially on anterior part <strong>of</strong> cephalic segment. Proboscis short, 3times shorter than trunk, broad, cylindrical; cephalic segment projections overhangbase <strong>of</strong> proboscis. Abdomen more than twice longer than proboscis, cylindrical,reaching beyond distal ends <strong>of</strong> coxae 2 <strong>of</strong> 4th legs. Lateral processes broad, placedalmost closely together; each provided with several small tubercles in middle and 3tubercles, some <strong>of</strong> which with two tops, on distal margin. Chelifore shorter thanproboscis; scape robust, bear several tubercles distally; chela vestigial, withoutfingers. Oviger 10-segmented; segment 1 oval, broader than its own length; segment 3longest; segments 4 and 5 equal; segments 7 and 8 short and broad; 2 distal segmentsvery small, thin, cylindrical. Legs short, with robust, very short segments; coxa 1 bearsseveral large tubercles, <strong>of</strong> which one has several tops; coxa 2 ventrally bears talltubercle with genital pore and, dorsally, several small tubercles with spines; femur hasone tall tubercle dorsally and several small ones laterally; tarsus so small that can beseen only from ventral side; propodus slightly shorter than tibia 2; distal end <strong>of</strong> solearmed with large spine, forming kind <strong>of</strong> chela in combination with terminal claw; solealso bears small spine in front <strong>of</strong> large one. Main claw robust, curved, as long as 1/2 <strong>of</strong>propodus. Measurements <strong>of</strong> male: trunk 2.0 mm, proboscis 0.63 mm, abdomen4.12 mm.Females <strong>of</strong> D. dogieli differ from males in absence <strong>of</strong> large tubercles on lateralprocesses and shorter ovigers, distal segments <strong>of</strong> which armed with only severalsmooth setae.Geographical distribution. First specimens <strong>of</strong> D. dogieli were found on thestarfish Pteraster, taken in the Sea <strong>of</strong> Okhotsk <strong>of</strong>f the northern tip <strong>of</strong> Sakhalin Islandat a depth <strong>of</strong> 84 m. Later Hong and Kim (1987) found D. dogieli in the Sea <strong>of</strong> Japan<strong>of</strong>f the Korean coast in the ambulacra <strong>of</strong> Pteraster.120
