Confirmation of the mantis shrimp Lysiosquilla maculata (Fabricius, 1793) (Crustacea, Stomatopoda, Lysiosquillidae) from Taiwan

The presence of the mantis shrimp Lysiosquilla maculata (Fabricius, 1793) in Taiwanese water is verified with the collection of a large adult male of this species from the northern-most coast of Taiwan. This constitutes the first formal record of L. maculata from Taiwan. Three species of Lysiosquilla are now known in Taiwan and a key to these three species is provided.
