Extra Distribution Information
Central Indo-west Pacific Oceans (Singapore, Palau) The record of Victoria by Davie (2002) was almost certainly incorrectly based on the report of “Pilumnus spongiosus” by Rathbun (1923), which is actually the oziid Eupilumnus laciniatus (Sakai, 1980) (see Ng & Tan 1984; Ng 1992).
