Regional Data (French Polynesia, Pitcairn, Easter Island, Clipperton)
Distribution & Ecology: Wallis & Futuna (Futuna); Gambier (Mangareva) - Freshwater.

Regional Records: WALLIS & FUTUNA - Atyopsis pilipes - Mary et al., 2006: 33 (Futuna). - Poupin & Juncker, in preparation (Futuna). - FRENCH POLYNESIA - Atya spinipes - Nobili, 1907: 353 ("Gatavake" = Mangareva). - Seurat, 1934: 51 ("Gatavake" = Mangareva). - Atyopsis spinipes - Chace, 1983: 35, figs 20-22 (Syn.; cf. remark). - Poupin, 1998: 8 (Checklist). - Remark: Chace (1983: 40) writes "Verification is also needed of the Magareva record in Nobili (1907) and Seurat (1934) in order to eliminate the possibility of confusion between Atyopsis spinipes and Atyoida pilipes, which seems to be established on the Gambier Islands". To confirm Chace's hesitations we remark that recent prospections in the Gambier rivers (electric fishing by Marquet: 1988, 1991, 1993) have brought only Atyoida pilipes and never Atyopsis spinipes.
