The present species can be distinguished by the following characters (those of <i>A. takanoshimensis</i>, as reported by Markham (1982), in parentheses): anterolateral margin of head with pair of notches in female (without notches), meri of pereopod 1 each with broad and long projection ventrally in female (without projection), pleotelson with mushroom-shaped end (round posterior end). <i>Athelges takanoshimensis</i> as reported by Markham (1982) also differs from the original description by Ishii (1914) in the following characters (those of original description of <i>A. takanoshimensis</i> in parentheses): pleon extended posteriorly in female (pleon reflexed back), pereopods 5 and 6 with large gap in female (without large gap).</p><p>Only two of the 349 individuals in the present study were parasitized, and the parasitized rate is thus 0.57 %.</p><p><b>DNA barcode.</b></p><p>A 658 - bp fragment of the mitochondrial COI gene, a 482 - bp fragment of the mitochondrial 16 S rRNA gene, and a 724 - bp fragment of the nuclear 18 S rRNA gene from the holotype and paratype females were determined. The sequence data, including the standard barcoding region for animal species, has been deposited as a DNA barcode of <i>A. pileus</i> sp. nov. in the GenBank under accession number LC 876712.1, LC 876713.1, LC 876714.1, LC 876715.1, LC 876786.1, LC 876787.1.</p><p><b>Etymology.</b></p><p>Derived from the Latin noun “ pileus ”, referring to the pleotelson, which is shaped like a mushroom cap.</p><p>The Japanese name comes from the pleotelson, which is shaped like a mushroom cap, Kinoko-o.</p><p><b>Phylogenetic analysis.</b></p><p>ML tree, based on the concatenated dataset of 16 S rRNA, 18 S rRNA, and COI sequences (Fig. 7), supports the monophyly of <i>A. pileus</i> sp. nov. and <i>A. takanoshimensis</i> (SH-aLRT = 99.9 % and UFBoot = 100 %) and shows that these species are genetically distinct. These two sequences of <i>A. pileus</i> sp. nov. formed a fully supported clade (SH-aLRT = 99.8 % and UFBoot = 100 %), and three sequences of <i>A. takanoshimensis</i> also formed a clade with equally strong support (SH-aLRT = 99.8 % and UFBoot = 100 %). K 2 P distances among the two species were 20.7–21.1 % (Table 3).</p>
