Typical morphological examinaton revealed the presence of two colour paterns: grey and red. Interestngly, molecular analysis based on the barcoding gene cytochrome oxidase sub unit I (COI) revealed that both grey and red colour paterns in S. vitata showed 0% sequence divergence between the specimens. This indicates a situaton of reverse cryptc behavior in this crab. Surprisingly, the evolutonary and ecological processes leading to the absence of genetc divergence and variaton in morphology (colour patern) in S. vitata complex remain to be addressed.

Over 10,500 names are treated including 6,793 valid species and subspecies (with 1,907 primary synonyms), 1,271 genera and subgenera (with 393 primary synonyms), 93 families and 38 superfamilies. Nomenclatural and taxonomic problems are reviewed in detail, and many resolved. Detailed notes and references are provided where necessary. The constitution of a large number of families and superfamilies is discussed in detail, with the positions of some taxa rearranged in an attempt to form a stable base for future taxonomic studies. This is the first time the nomenclature of any large group of decapod crustaceans has been examined in such detail.

  • First Record of Dromia Neogenica Müller, 1979 (Decapoda, Brachyura, Dromiidae) from Neogene Strata in the Southern North Sea Basin
    FIRST RECORD OF DROMIA NEOGENICA MÜLLER, 1979 (DECAPODA, BRACHYURA, DROMIIDAE) FROM NEOGENE STRATA IN THE SOUTHERN NORTH SEA BASIN BY RENÉ H.B. FRAAIJE1,4), BARRY W.M. VAN BAKEL1,2,5) and JOHN W.M. JAGT3,6) 1) Oertijdmuseum De Groene Poort, Bosscheweg 80, NL-5283 Boxtel, The Netherlands 2) Nederlands Centrum voor Biodiversiteit (Naturalis), P.O. Box 9517, NL-2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands 3) Natuurhistorisch Museum Maastricht, de Bosquetplein 6-7, NL-6211 KJ Maastricht, The Netherlands ABSTRACT The sponge crab Dromia neogenica Müller, 1979 (Dromiidae) is recorded for the first time from strata of Neogene (late Miocene-early Pliocene) age in the southern North Sea Basin, on the basis of two concretion-preserved carapaces from Bemmel (north of Nijmegen, province of Gelderland, The Netherlands). The presence of this species, which was previously known from the middle-upper Miocene of Hungary and Algeria, suggests relatively higher seawater temperatures in the North Sea during the late Miocene-early Pliocene. Morphological differences (extraorbital and anterolateral teeth, development of cervical and branchiocardiac grooves) between D. neogenica and extant D. personata (Linnaeus, 1758) are relatively minor. This observation, coupled with the absence of the former species in mid-Pliocene and younger strata, and with the robust record of the latter in the mid-Pliocene to upper Pleistocene of Italy, would indicate that D. neogenica and D. personata are closely related, and probably represent the same lineage. RÉSUMÉ La dromie éponge Dromia neogenica Müller, 1979 (Dromiidae) est signalée pour la premiére fois dans les strates du Néogène (fin du Miocène-début du Pliocène) du sud du bassin de la mer du Nord.

  • 17 the Crabs Belonging to the Grapsoidea Include a Lot Of
    17 SUPERFAMILY GRAPSOIDEA The crabs belonging to the Grapsoidea include a lot of ubiquitous species collected in the mangrove and/or along the coastline. As a result, most of the species listed here under the ‘Coastal Rock-rubble’ biotope of table 2b could be reasonably listed also with marine species. This is particularly true for the Grapsidae: Grapsus, Pachygrapsus, Pseudograpsus, and Thalassograpsus. FAMILY GECARCINIDAE Cardisoma carnifex (Herbst, 1796).
