G uinusia dentipes (De Haan, 1835) Plagusia dentipes — Morton and Morton 1983: 42. Taxonomy: Sakai (1939: as Plagusia), Griffin (1973b: as Plagusia), Schubart and Cuesta (2010). Type: Lectotype ò in RMNH D 123, and paratypes in RMNH (designated by Yamaguchi and Baba 1993; see also Fransen et al. 1997). Type locality: Japan, locality unspecified.

Habitat: Subtidal, to depths of 30 m (Ng et al. 2001). Plagusia squamosa (Herbst, 1790) # Plagusia orientalis Stimpson, 1858b: 103; Stimpson 1907: 122. Plagusia depressa — Stimpson 1858b: 103; Stimpson 1907: 123; Gee 1926: 164 [list]; Williams 2003: 92, 2 unnumb. figs. [not Cancer depressa Fabricius, 1775]. Plagusia tuberculata — Gee 1926: 164 [list]; Hill et al. 1975: 54; Morton 1976: 97; Hill et al. 1978: 76; Morton 1979a: 112, fig. 6.12; Hill and Phillipps 1981: 148, pl. 50c. Plagusia depressa tuberculata — Shen 1940a: 238 [no new specimens]; Morton and Morton 1983: 42, fig. 4.4(1). Plagusia depressa squamosa — Shen 1940a: 239. Taxonomy: Dawson (1 9 8 7: as P. depressa tuberculata), Schubart and Ng (2000), Maenosono (2015). Type: Lectotype ò ZMB HERBST 0498, and paralectotypes in ZMB (designated by K Sakai 1999; see also Schubart and Ng 2000). Type locality: East Indies. Distribution: Western Indian Ocean to East Pacific: from South Africa and Madagascar, Red Sea, to southern California, and possibly Chile (Davie 2002).

Remarks: All records of P. tuberculata Lamarck, 1818 and P. orientalis Stimpson, 1858 in the Indo-Pacific, should be considered conspecific with and junior synonyms of P. squamosa (Herbst, 1790) (Schubart and Ng 2000).
