A New Genus and Species of Lobster (Decapoda, Nephropidae) from the Caribbean Sea A NEW GENUS AND SPECIES OF LOBSTER (DECAPODA, NEPHROPIDAE) FROM THE CARIBBEAN SEA BY RAYMOND B. MANNING Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C., U.S.A. The nephropid lobster described herein was found in the course of examining several collections of crustaceans sent to the Division of Crustacea, Smithsonian Institution for identification by Harvey R. Bullis, Jr., of the U. S. Fish and Wild- life Service. A comparison of material of this lobster with other nephropids in the collection of the Division of Crustacea showed that it represents not only an undescribed species but also a new genus. L. B. Holthuis has brought to my attention the fact that the family name for these lobsters, Nephropsidae, as used until now, is incorrectly spelled. The name is derived from the type-genus, Nephrop.r, and should be spelled Nephropidae. I would like to thank Harvey R. Bullis, Jr. for making this material available for study and L. B. Holthuis and Fenner A. Chace, Jr., for their comments and advice. Plate I was drawn by Mrs. Carolyn Gast and textfigure 1 was drawn by my wife Lilly. Nephropides new genus Definition. - Rostrum narrow, extending beyond antennular and antennal peduncles, with 2 or 3 lateral spines; eyes small, pigmented; second segment of antennular peduncle shorter than either first or third segments; antennal scale absent; carapace covered with low, blunt tubercles; longitudinal median groove of carapace well-formed, extending onto rostrum; cervical groove prominent; cara- pace lacking longitudinal branchial carinae; abdominal somites covered with flat tubercles, each somite with anterior transverse groove but lacking longitudinal median carina; pleuron of second abdominal somite subrectangular, pleura of third to sixth somites triangular; telson subrectangular, longer than broad; chelae large, slender, subequal, carinate, ornamented with numerous spinules, dactyli clothed in setae. - Type-species. Nephropide.r caribaeus new species. - Etymology. Ne phro p.r and -ides, Greek, descendant of, alluding to relation- ship to Nephrops. Gender. - Masculine. 304 - Discussion. Nephropide.r most closely resembles Nephropsis Wood-Mason, Nephrops Leach, and Eune phro p.r Smith. It agrees with Nephropsis in lacking an antennal scale, but differs in that the cornea is pigmented, the longitudinal branchial carinae of the carapace are absent, and the pleura of the second abdominal somite are rectangular rather than triangular. The shape of the pleuron of the second abdominal somite is similar in Nephro- pide.r, Nephrop.r, and Eunephrop.r, and these three genera also share the large, carinate chelae. Nephropide.r, however, differs from both in having small eyes and in lacking an antennal scale. The body sculpture of Nephropide.r, which resembles that of Neophoberu.r, is much more ornate than in any of the species of N Nephrops or Eunephrop.r. The slender toothed chelae of Neophoberus Glaessner and Thauma.rtochele.r Wood-Mason will immediately distinguish these genera from Nephropide.r. In Neophoberus the eyes are unpigmented and in T hallmastocheles the eyes are entirely absent. Nephropides caribaeus new species (text fig. 1, pl. 1) Holotype. - 1 a, 175 mm (total length); Nicaragua, 12°25'N 82ol5'W; depth 546-582 m; "Oregon" Sta. 3576; 23 May 1962; USNM 113741. .

Phil. Thesis, Division of Biology The Chinese University of Hong Kong, November 2006 Abstract The first part of this thesis aims to elucidate the phylogenetic relationship of Metanephrops based on two mitochondrial gene regions, namely, large subunit rRNA (16S rRNA) and cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) genes. Sixteen of the 17 extant species of this genus are included in this study. The results support the monophyly of the binghami group as well as japonicus group defined by morphology, but do not support the arafurensis and thomsoni groupings. The basal position of M. challengeri and M neptunus in the phylogenetic trees provides evidence to support that Metanephrops evolved near Antarctica. Phylogenetic trees show that japonicus group * is the most derived group among Metanephrops and species from this group are more related to some species in thomsoni group than to some species in arafurensis group. This result does not support that monophyletic origin of arafurensis group and does not support that arafurensis and japonicus groups are the oldest in Metanephrops as previously proposed.

  • American Lobster
    American Lobster Context While surfing this site, you will discover the American lobster and its sometimes surprising characteristics. You will learn where the lobster lives, how it grows, and what it eats. You will also discover the history of lobster fishing, and how it is managed today. Furthermore, you will learn that it is not the only species in the great lobster family. In fact, many of its relatives throughout the world are sometimes quite different from the North American lobster. Content: Nathalie Paille and Luc Bourassa | Graphics: Johanne Noël https://ogsl.ca/en 1 American Lobster What is a lobster? Lobsters living along Canadian and American coasts are generally called "American lobster". They represent a highly valued commercial species. In the classification of animal species, lobsters belong to the following: c Invertebrate group, because they don’t have a spine or internal skeleton. c Arthropod subphylum, because of their articulated legs. c Shellfish class, because of their carapace, which is their external skeleton. c Decapods order, because of their five pairs of legs (10 legs in all). c Nephropids family. c Homarus genus. The Latin name (or scientific name) for American lobster is Homarus americanus. The name americanus corresponds to the name given to the lobster species. https://ogsl.ca/en 2 American Lobster Characteristics Z Exterior anatomy Antennas Eyes Chelipeds (or claws) Pereiopods Cephalothorax Rostrum (or walking legs) Uropods Abdomen Telson Mouth Anus Swimmerets (or pleopods) https://ogsl.ca/en 3 American Lobster Antennas Lobsters have three pairs of antennas: a large pair and two small pairs. They are sensory organs.

  • Length-Weight Relationship of Spiny Lobster, Panulirus

A total of two hundred and fifty specimens were subjected to the study along southern coastal waters during the time period from January 2012 to January 2013. Growth pattern and relationships of total-length with body weight and carapace- length with body- weight of Panulirus homarus were studied for male, female and total population separately. Regression equations for total-length and body weight for male, female and total P. homarus population were W = 0.000016TL3.04, W = 0.066 TL1.41, W = 0.001318 TL2.17 respectively. Carapace length-body weight relationships for males was W = 0.02455 CL2.57 and W = 1.3580 CL1.33 for females. For the total population it was W = 0.0912 CL2.15. For female and the total P. homarus populations growth coefficient values (b) were significantly different from 03 (1.41, 2.17 respectively (p<0.05)), thus those populations exhibit negative allometric growth pattern. Since the growth coefficient value for males was not significantly different from 03 (3.04 (p>0.05)), it shows isometric growth pattern.
