Marine zoogeography of southeast Asia,with special reference to the faunal relationship between Southeast Asia and southern Japan.

为了弄清泰国与日本南部的区系关系，于1986年在泰国普吉岛和罗永采集了泰国海洋动物，并对其进行了分类整理。共鉴定出鱼类300种，软体动物50种。在宋卡和罗勇采集到一些具有重要商业价值的双壳类，如文昌鱼和阿纳达拉。泰国文蛤(M.meretrix)种已被鉴定为文昌鱼(M.meretrix)、文昌鱼(M.lusoria)和文昌鱼(M.lyrata)，但原产于日本的文蛤(Meretrix Lusoria)和日本文昌鱼(M.lyrata)与泰国种有很大不同。从泰国湾采集到的海鞘类有17种，其中15种为首次报道。Polyandrocarpa(P.)Sp.a可被认为是科学上的新种。已识别的海星类有10多种。甲壳类有约150种十足目。以下是泰国首次记录的9种：Thacanophrvs halimoides，Doclea calciropa，D.jonica，Jonas Differty ta formosae，Leucosia elata，Thalamita admete，Thalamita oculea，T.tenuipes，Etisus plispldidus。

In order to clarify the faunal relationship between Thailand and southern Japan,Marine animals of Thailand were collected at Songkhla,Phuket,and Rayong in 1986.The collection has been sorted.As reqards fishes,300 species have veen recognized.Fifty species of mollusks were identified.A few commercially important bivalves,e.g.Meretrix and Anadara,were collected from Songkhla and Rayong. Thai Meretrix species have been identified as M.meretrix,M.lusoria,and M.lyrata,but Meretrix lusoria originally described from Japan and M.lyrata from Japan are much different from Thai species. Seventeen species of ascidians collected from the Gulf of Thailand have been reconized.Of these species,15 are firstly known there.Polyandrocarpa(P.)sp.A may be regarded as new to science.More than 10 species of starfishes have been recognized.As regards crustaceans,ca.150 species of decapods have been recognized.Following 9 species are firstly recorded from Thailand:Thacanophrvs halimoides,Doclea calcitropa,D.japonica,jonas distincta formosae,leucosia elata,Thalamita admete, Thalamita oculea,T.tenuipes,and Etisus splendidus.
