Description
Summary:Phylllorhiza punctata von Lendenfeld, 1884 originates from Australia and Coral Triangle, but its occurrence has been reported in the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea, so it is necessary to better understand its geographic range. Two specimens were collected in Nagasaki and Kagoshima Prefectures, Japan, and morphological and molecular studies suggest that they are P. punctata. These are the first records of the species in Japan, and it is possible that individuals have been transported to Japan by the Kuroshio Current.
