  • A New Calcinus (Decapoda: Anomura: Diogenidae) from the Tropical Western Atlantic, and a Comparison with Other Species of the Genus from the Region
    20 April 1994 PROC. BIOL. SOC. WASH. 107(1), 1994, pp. 137-150 A NEW CALCINUS (DECAPODA: ANOMURA: DIOGENIDAE) FROM THE TROPICAL WESTERN ATLANTIC, AND A COMPARISON WITH OTHER SPECIES OF THE GENUS FROM THE REGION Nestor H. Campos and Rafael Lemaitre Abstract.—A new species of a diogenid hermit crab, Calcinus urabaensis, is described from the Gulf of Uraba, on the Caribbean coast of Colombia. The new species is the third in the genus described from the western Atlantic, and can be distinguished from the other two known species of the genus Calcinus in the region, C. tibicen (Herbst) and C. verrilli (Rathbun), by differences in coloration and armature of the dactyl of the left cheliped, third pereopod, and telson. A comparison of the three species is included. Resumen.—Se describe una nueva especie de cangrejo ermitano pertenecienta a la familia Diogenidae, Calcinus urabaensis, colectada en el Golfo de Uraba, Caribe sur. La nueva especie es la tercera conocida de este genero en el Atlantico occidental, y se diferencia de las otras dos especies del genero Calcinus de la region, C tibicen (Herbst) y C. verrilli (Rathbun), en la coloracion y espinas del dactilo de la quela izquierda, tercer pereopodo, y telson.

The spermatophores show similarities with those described for other members of the family Diogenidae (especially the genus Cliba­ narius), and are composed of three major regions: a sperm-filled, circular flat ampulla; a columnar stalk; and a pedestal. The morphology and size of the spermatophore of L. loxochelis, along with a distinguishable constriction or neck that penetrates almost halfway into the base of the ampulla, are characteristic of this species. The size of the spermatophore is related to hermit crab size. Direct relationships were found between the spermatophore ampulla width, total length, and peduncle length with carapace length of the hermit crab. These morphological characteristics and size of the spermatophore ofL.

Accepted 11-V-2001) Abstract: The mollusks in Manuel Antonio National Park on the central section of the Pacific coast of Costa Rica were studied along thirty-six transects done perpendicular to the shore, and by random sampling of subtidal environments, beaches and mangrove forest. Seventy-four species of mollusks belonging to three classes and 40 families were found: 63 gastropods, 9 bivalves and 2 chitons, during this study in 1995. Of these, 16 species were found only as empty shells (11) or inhabited by hermit crabs (5). Forty-eight species were found at only one locality. Half the species were found at one site, Puerto Escondido. The most diverse habitat was the low rocky intertidal zone. Nodilittorina modesta was present in 34 transects and Nerita scabricosta in 30. Nodilittorina aspera had the highest density of mollusks in the transects. Only four transects did not clustered into the four main groups. The species composition of one cluster of transects is associated with a boulder substrate, while another cluster of transects associates with site.

Abstract: Peru is an ecologically diverse country, with 84 life zones in the Holdridge system and 18 ecological regions (including two marine). 1910 molluscan species have been recorded. The highest number corresponds to the sea: 570 gastropods, 370 bivalves, 36 cephalopods, 34 polyplacoforans, 3 monoplacophorans, 3 scaphopods and 2 aplacophorans (total 1018 species). The most diverse families are Veneridae (57spp.), Muricidae (47spp.), Collumbellidae (40 spp.) and Tellinidae (37 spp.). Biogeographically, 56 % of marine species are Panamic, 11 % Peruvian and the rest occurs in both provinces; 73 marine species are endemic to Peru. Land molluscs include 763 species, 2.54 % of the global estimate and 38 % of the South American esti- mate. The most biodiverse families are Bulimulidae with 424 spp., Clausiliidae with 75 spp. and Systrophiidae with 55 spp. In contrast, only 129 freshwater species have been reported, 35 endemics (mainly hydrobiids with 14 spp. The paper includes an overview of biogeography, ecology, use, history of research efforts and conser- vation; as well as indication of areas and species that are in greater need of study.
