Telson roundish long-triangular, tip with minute excavation. Description of male [based on paratype, 2.4 mm (OMNH-Ar-12240)]. Antenna 1 (Fig. 15 M-A1), accessory flagellum longer than that of female; primary flagellum with 6 articles, article 1 very long, each articles bearing many aesthetascs. Gnathopod 2 (Fig. 15 M-G2) subequal to that of female except for oostegite, but basis without plumose setae and propodus more slender. Pereopod 3, basis with 3 plumose setae on anterior margin. Pereopod 7 (Fig. 15 M-P7), coxa anterior margin with 4 plumose setae; basis anterior margin with single plumose seta and 6 robust setae, inner surface lacking plumose setae. Uropod 1, peduncle with 12 lateral, 1 laterodistal and 4 medial robust setae. Coloration in life (based on female, size unknown; Fig. 16). Head white, eyes light red. Body and coxae light orange, with 11 violet curved lines, middle dorsal margin of each pereonites and pleonites red. Antennae white and partly red. Pereopods 3–7 also light orange. Remarks. Postodius albifacies sp. nov. can be distinguished from the other Postodius species by the coloration and the combination of the shapes of gnathopod 2 and pereopods 3, 7 (see the above key). The uropod 1 peduncle with many lateral and medial robust setae is probably distinctive, although those in the females of four species are not shown in Ariyama (2011). Habitat. Found on rocky reef with soft corals, 20 m depth. Distribution. Only Ōsezaki, Numazu City in Japan.
