2026-08-13 eng In September and October of 1969, the Smithsonian Institution sponsored an expedition to Eniwetok Atoll in the Marshall Islands, with the support of the Atomic Energy Commission through the University of Hawaii and the Smithsonian Oceanography and Limnology Program. Stomatopods were collected at nine stations. Of the eight species collected, three, Gonodactylus chiragra (Fabricius), G. falcatus (Forskal), and G. platysoma Wood-Mason, have extensive ranges in the Indo-West Pacific region; they are known from scattered localities between Oceania and the western Indian Ocean (Manning, 1968). Gonodactylus smithii Pocock has been recorded from localities between the South China Sea and Australia to the western Indian Ocean (Manning, 1968); although it was not known from the central Pacific Ocean, its occurrence there is not unexpected inasmuch as it has been found in the coral habitat throughout its range. One species, G. espinosus Borradaile, is known to occur in the central Pacific Ocean, where it has been recorded from several localities between Palmyra Island and the Tuamotu Archipelago (Manning, 1967), and another, Haptosquilla glyptocercus (Wood-Mason), is largely restricted to the Pacific Ocean; it has also been taken in the Andaman Islands (Manning, 1969). Two of the species of Gonodactylus in the collection apparently represent undescribed species. One, represented by a large series of specimens, was taken in shallow water at several stations. The other, represented by a single specimen, was taken at the deepest station, at a depth of 80-115 feet.
