Description

Namalycastis hawaiiensis (Johnson)

Lycastis hawaiiensis Johnson, 1903

Lycastis ranauensis Feuerborn, 1931 b

Ecology: FW

Distribution: OL, AU, PAC

Habitat: LR, PT

Comments: The widespread Indo-Pacific distribution of this species, and its association with plant container habitats (phytotelmata) and aquaculture ponds (e.g., the shrimp Macrobrachium sp.) may indicate humanassisted translocation has occurred.
