Overview

A new species of Acutigebia is described, highlighting genetic and morphological differences from a related species.

Key Points

  • To describe a new species of Acutigebia from the Pacific coast of Japan and compare it to a related species.
  • Species collected from the Pacific coast of Honshu and Kyushu, Japan.
  • Morphological comparisons made with A. simsoni.
  • Genetic analysis conducted using 16S rRNA gene sequencing.
  • Acutigebia succinacia is distinct with a spine on antennal article 1, unlike A. simsoni which is unarmed.
  • Genetic divergence between the two species is 6.34–6.60% based on partial 16S rRNA gene sequence.
