Centropages tenuiremis Thompson I.C. and Scott A., 1903 was described for the first time from the waters of Ceylon (Sri Lanka). However, the current distribution of this invasive species has been recorded from Japanese waters, Korean Peninsula, Taiwan, Andaman Sea, India and also the Arabian Gulf. Of late, C. tenuiremis has been recorded from numerous localities of Southeast Asian waters, often with no attempt at justification of identification. Centropages tenuiremis was initially discovered in mid-March 2020 in a sample taken during a long-term plankton survey along the west coast of Johor (Straits of Malacca) started. This study aimed to identify the invasive C. tenuiremis morphologically to meet the attributes for introduced species which are based on the premise of morphologic accuracy.
