- Photis longicaudata : Nagata 1965[1]: 310, fig. 35; Hirayama 1984[2]: 42, fig. 71; Kim et al. 2005[3]: 3, figs 1, 2; Ren 1992[4]: 259, fig. 28; 2000: 141, fig. 4; 2006: 398, fig. 171 [non P. longicaudata (Spence Bate & Westwood, 1862)].
Etymology
The epithet of the specific name, bronca, has its origin from the Latin word broncus. This name refers to the bearing of a quadrate tooth medially on the gnathopod 2 palmar margin in both sexes.

Remarks
Photis bronca sp. nov. has been misidentified as Photis longicaudata (Spence Bate & Westwood, 1862) in the Far East including Korea (Kim et al. 2005[3]), Japan (Nagata 1965[1]; Hirayama 1984[2]), and China (Ren 1992[4], 2000[5], 2006[6]). The authors re-examined the syntype series of P. longicaudata deposited at the Natural History Museum, London (NHMUK 1911.20899–20906; Figs 12, 13) and several specimens, which were collected from the North Sea, at the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin (ZMB 11656) to confirm the validity of P. longicaudata in Korean waters. As a result, the material formerly identified as P. longicaudata from Japan and China, as well as the Korean material, is herein described as a new species based on the following differences when compared with the newly designated P. longicaudata lectotype (NHMUK 1911.20899; Fig. 12): gnathopod 1 palmar margin has a robust defining seta medially in both sexes (absent in the P. longicaudata lectotype); gnathopod 2 palmar margin has a quadrate tooth medially in both sexes (obviously absent in the P. longicaudata lectotype); the sac-like lobe of male gnathopod 2 basis is much larger than that of P. longicaudata (slightly exceeding the ischium in the P. longicaudata lectotype); the anterior margin of male gnathopod 2 propodus is a little rounded (slightly shorter and more swollen in the P. longicaudata lectotype); the palmar margin of male gnathopod 2 propodus has more produced spines (slightly produced in the P. longicaudata lectotype); male pereopod 3 coxa has a different pattern of stridulated ridges; the male pereopod 4 coxa has stridulated ridges on the anterior half of the ventral margin (absent in the P. longicaudata lectotype); and female gnathopod 2 palmar margin is concave subrectangularly (more oblique and recessed in the P. longicaudata lectotype) (Bate and Westwood 1863[7]; Sars 1895; Nagata 1965[1]; Hirayama 1984[2]; Ren 1992[4], 2000[5], 2006[6]; Kim et al. 2005[3]; see Figs 12, 13). It is well known that both Photis aina JL Barnard, 1970 and Photis kapapa JL Barnard, 1970 from the Hawaiian Islands have affinities with P. longicaudata in that gnathopod 2 has very well-developed (sac-like) anterior lobe of the basis (JL Barnard 1970[8]). Among them, Photis bronca sp. nov. differs from P. aina, regarding the eyes being in the middle of the cephalic lobe (occupying the end of the cephalic lobe in P. aina), lacking the defining seta on the palmar margin of male gnathopod 1 (with one robust seta medially in P. aina), lacking posterioventral notches of epimera 2 and 3, and a shorter inner ramus of uropod 2 (about half length in P. aina) (Barnard 1970[8]; Myers 1985[9], 2009[10]). Photis bronca sp. nov. can be distinguished from P. kapapa by the following differences: the eyes occupying at the middle of the cephalic lobe (at the end of the cephalic lobe in P. kapapa), lacking stridulated ridges in both posterior margins of the coxae of gnathopods 1 and 2, 0.7 times as wide as long male gnathopod 2 (0.8 times in P. kapapa), the female palmar margin of gnathopod 2 with a small obtuse spine near the dactylus base (without spine in P. kapapa), the presence of one accessory cusp on pereopod 5 dactylus (two accessory cusps in P. kapapa), subacutely produced posterior margin of epimeron 3 (rounded in P. kapapa), and uropod 3 outer ramus with the length of 0.6 times as long as the peduncle (0.9 times in P. kapapa) (Barnard 1970[8]; Ren 2006[6]).
Photis bronca sp. nov. resembles Photis davei Myers, 2009 in the shapes of elongate propodus of pereopods 3 and 4 as well as the outlines of gnathopods in both sexes, but the former differs from the latter in the presence of a well-developed sac-like lateral lobe on the basis of male gnathopod 2 (present but very weak in P. davei) and not-elongate rami of uropods 1 and 2 (Myers 2009[10]).
Photis fischmanni Gurjanova, 1951 also has a similar gnathopod 2 shape in both sexes, but P. bronca sp. nov. is clearly different from this species by elongate antenna 1 and 2 (0.4 times as long as the body in P. bronca sp. nov., but less than 0.3 times in P. fischmanni), less expanded carpus and propodus of gnathopod 1, and less setose appendages than P. fischmanni (Gurjanova 1951[11], 1955[12]; Conlan 1983[13]).
This new species differs from Photis paeowai Myers, 1995 and Photis pirloti Myers, 1985 by bearing a well-developed sac-like lateral lobe on the basis of male gnathopod 2 (present but rather weak in P. paeowai and P. pirloti) and a quadrate medial tooth on the palmar margin of gnathopod 2 in both sexes (absent in P. paeowai and P. pirloti) (Myers 1985[9], 1995[14]).
