Abstract

Littorophiloscia visayanensis n. sp. is described from Visayan islands in the Philippines. In the shape of telson, L. visayaensis is close to L. riedli Strouhal, 1966), L. nipponensis Nunomura 1986, and L. formosana Kwon and Jeon, 1993, but it is easily distinguished by the peculiar shape of male pleopod 1 endopod.
