Regional Records: EASTER ISLAND - Pseudosquilla oculata. - DiSalvo et al., 1988: 458 (Easter Island, scuba dives 15-60m; det. unknown "The Stomatopod Pseudosquilla oculata (Brullé) (described as P. oxyrhyncha by Gravier 1936) was collected fro cryptic habitats"). - Pseudosquillisma oculata - Manning, 1995: 110 (ref. to Cappola & Manning, 1995) for new Pseudosquillisma genus). - Remark: it is unclear with DiSalvo et al. work if Gravier specimens of Raoulserena oxyrhyncha have been re-identified in Paris Muséum. Also, S. Ahyong made the following comment (e-mail, 02 Feb. 2001) "It (Raoulserenea oxyrhyncha) is very similar to Pseudosquillisma oculata, so the records of these species from Easter Island require verification. They could be either or even referable to two other species." - FRENCH POLYNESIA - Pseudosquilla oculata - Kemp, 1913: 102 (Society Islands). - Odhner, 1923: not seen (in Ahyong, 2002). - Müller, 1994: 76 (Syn.). - Pseudosquillisma oculata - Cappola & Manning, 1995: 285 (New combination). - Manning, 1995: 21 (List). - Poupin, 1998: 35 (Checklist). - Ahyong, 2002: 369 (Checklist). - Not Pseudosquilla oculata - Heller, 1865: 124 (see under P. ornata).
