Abstract

In family Kamakidae, genera Kamaka and Heterokamaka possess fused urosomites 1 and 2. Kamaka is widely distributed in West Pacific, including nine species. Heterokamaka is very similar to Kamaka, except lamellate article 3 of the mandibular palp and long antenna 2. In this paper, a new species of Heterokamaka is described and illustrated in detail and the distributions of Kamaka and Heterokamaka are provided.
