First report and shooting the  Penaeus  ( Melicertus )  longistylus  from Kume Island Okinawa Japan. Penaeus  ( Melicertus )  longistylus  is similar large species  Penaeus  ( Melicertus )  latisulcatus . Color also it is very similar. I met  Penaeus  ( Melicertus )  longistylus  at night, it was on top of the coral reef. However, perhaps I think that they will live in close sand mud area to reef. Penaeus  ( Melicertus )  longistylus  has red spot of abdominal which is a feature, it is only on the trailing edge of the side surface of the third abdominal segment. Tips of uropods are blue with red hairs.
