The pairwise genetic distances within species of Spongicoloides weijiaensis ranged from 0.02 to 0.03. Distribution: The distribution of S. weijiaensis now extends from the North West Pacific, Madagascar, Indian Ocean (off Northern Australia), New Zealand, New Caledonia, Fiji, Tasmania (349–2380 m) to the seamount in the Mid Ocean Ridge sector of the Southwest Indian Ocean (2358 m). Remarks: Throughout the species’ range, S. weijiensis has been found at depths of 349 to 2380 m; with 2380 m being the deepest record for any stenopodidean. Specimens from New Caledonia and Madagascar were identified as S. novaezelandiae but were shown to belong to S. weijiaensis (Schnabel et al. 2021). The Spongicoloides weijiaensis of Southwest Indian Ocean Ridge is morphologically similar to S. weijiaensis Xu, Zhou & Wang, 2017 and S. corbitellus Kou, Li & Gong, 2018. Both specimens match the type description in nearly all aspects. Slight variation in the pigmented eyes, distal and proximal endites both bilobed compared to the original description is an additional large postorbital carapace spine, the first pleonite being more distinctly ridged (Figure 4A). A recent paper on New Zealand stenopodideans covers the differences between S. novaezelandiae and other species of Spongicoloides (Schnabel et al. 2021). Both our SWIR specimen and S. weijiaensis were found in the Euplectella sponge, S. corbitellus was collected from another euplectellid sponge of the genus Corbitellus (Kou et al. 2018). Even though our specimen of Spongicoloides weijiaensis from SWIR is similar to S. iheyaensis Saito, Tsuchida & Yamamoto, 2006, S. corbitellus, S. zhoui Zhao, Xu, Yang & Qiu, 2021 all from the Western Pacific Ocean, is distinguished by the differences in spination of carapace, sixth pleonal somite, and third pereiopod (Figures 2 & 4)., Published as part of Rengaiyan, Periasamy, Palayil, John Kurian & Ingole, Baban, 2022, A new report on the deep-sea sponge-associated Spongicoloides weijiaensis Xu Zhou & Wang, 2017 (Decapoda: Spongicolidae) from the Southwest Indian Ocean Ridge, pp. 267-277 in Zootaxa 5195 (3) on pages 269-272, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5195.3.5, http://zenodo.org/record/7187865, {"references":["Xu, P., Zhou, Y. & Wang, C.
