Neoliomera moana, a new cavernicolous species of xanthid crab from the Marquesas Islands (Crustacea: Decapoda: Brachyura).
A new crab Liomerinae, Neoliomera moana sp. nov., is described from the Marquesas Islands, based on three specimens collected by hand at the entrance of submarine caves at depths of 6-28 m. Within the genus the new species belongs to a group of six species that have the carapace cristate on the anterolateral margins. It can be recognized by the presence of a double crest on the upper margin of ...
متن کاملThe type of the land crab Cardisoma hirtipes Dana, 1851 (Crustacea: Brachyura: Gecarcinidae).
In describing a new species of land crab, Discoplax celeste, from Christmas Island, eastern Indian Ocean, Ng & Davie (2012: 95) selected a neotype for the related Discoplax hirtipes (Dana, 1851), originally described from Fiji as a species of Cardisoma Latreille, 1828. They commented that the type material was no longer extant and a neotype was necessary to stabilise the taxonomy of the species...
متن کاملRemarks on the sexual dimorphism and taxonomy of Fabia Dana, 1851 (Crustacea, Brachyura, Pinnotheridae).
A study of the holotype of Pinnotheres hemphilli Rathbun, 1918, revealed it is an early post-hard female, not a male, of Fabia Dana, 1851. The morphology of Pinnotheres emiliai Melo, 1971 (based on a male specimen) and Fabia insularis Melo, 1971 (based on a female specimen) confirm earlier hypothesis that they belong to a sexually dimorphic species that should be known as F. emiliai (Melo, 1971...
متن کاملRevision of the genus Glyptoxanthus A. Milne-Edwards, 1879, and establishment of Glyptoxanthinae nov. subfam. (Crustacea: Decapoda: Brachyura: Xanthidae)
The xanthid genus Glyptoxanthus A. Milne-Edwards, 1879, known from the tropical eastern Pacific, western and eastern Atlantic, and the Red Sea, is revised as part of an ongoing revision of the subfamily Euxanthinae Alcock, 1898. Analysis of morphological characters shows that Glyptoxanthus must be excluded from the subfamily Euxanthinae and placed in a distinct subfamily, Glyptoxanthinae nov. s...
متن کاملMimulus Stimpson, 1860, a junior synonym of Pugettia Dana, 1851 (Decapoda: Brachyura: Majoidea: Epialtidae).
William Stimpson (1860) established Mimulus (Brachyura: Majoidea: Epialtidae), with a single species, Mfoliatus. Rathbun (1894) placed the genus in synonymy with Pugettia Dana, 18951, but subsequent authors have considered Mimulus to be a valid genus. Genetic evidence and re-examination of the morphology indicate that M. foliatus belongs to a clade of majoid crabs consisting of species of Puget...
