At the time of the start of these studies, the species was determined as Callianassa japonica Ortmann, 1891. This identi cation was based on the information in Sakai (1969), who made a taxonomic revision of the Japanese species of the genus Callianassa , and stated that the species from the Tomioka Bay sand at ( D his ‘Higashihama Beach’) was C. japonica . Following Sakai (1969), it was widely believed, until recently, that two species of Callianassa commonly occurred in intertidal habitats in Japan: C. japonica and C. petalura Stimpson, 1860.
