Lizard island, off Bird Island, 14.6928°S, 145.4668°E, 1–2 m, 8 February 2009: 1 M 3.7 mm (UF16625).—Lizard Island, Waining Reef, 14.4514°S, 145.3139°E, no depth, 15 February 2009: 1 ov. F 2.7 mm (UF18195).—Lizard Island, Younge Reef, 15–18 m, 18 February 2009: 1 M 2.4 mm (UF17133).
Remarks. Galathea orientalis is a widely distributed species. We have not observed significant morphological differences among the specimens from the different localities. The spines on the extensor margin of the Mxp3 carpus can be acute or blunt. The closest species to G. orientalis is G. corallicola Haswell, 1882. The two species can be distinguished by the following characters:
- The second abdominal somite has two transverse ridges in G. orientalis, instead of four transverse ridges in G. corallicola.
- The distomesial spine of the antennal article 1 reaches the end of the antennal peduncle in G. orientalis, whereas this spine slightly exceeds the article 2 in G. corallicola.
Distribution. Previously known from Japan (including Ogasawara Islands), Korean Strait, Taiwan, East and South China Sea, Western Australia (Dampier Archipelago), 0– 200 m. The present material from Japan, Philippines, Vietnam, Papua New Guinea, Australia was collected at depths of 1–27 m, on algae or Pocillopora sp.
