Hallaxa fuscescens (Pease, 1871)

Hallaxa fuscescens is rare in the Marshalls, so far known from only three specimens found at Enewetak Atoll and two more at Kwajalein. All three at Enewetak, which ranged in length from 9 to 12mm, were under dead coral rocks on the lagoon reef of Enewetak Island at a depth of about 5 meters. The Kwajalein specimens came from a Halimeda patch on the lagoon slope at 9m.
