ABSTRACT Clypeasterophilus, new genus, is erected to receive 4 species currently assigned to Dissodactylus Smith, 1870: D. rugatus Bouvier, 1917; D. juvenilis Bouvier, 1917; D. stebbingi Rathbun, 1918; and D. ususfructus Griffith, 1987. The new genus is characterized by (1) the continuous anterolateral margins of the carapace, (2) the palp of the third maxilliped slender and shorter than widest point of the ischium-merus, (3) the male telson subpentagonal, and (4) gonopods that narrow abruptly…

New record of Clypeasterophilus stebbingi (Rathbun, 1918) (Decapoda: Brachyura: Pinnotheridae) from the east coast of Nicaragua

Comparison of the material described from Florida, USA, Colombia, Colombia and Brazil to the Nicaragua specimen, however, indicates that C. stebbingi shows some variation in the shape of the third maxilliped.

Partial revision of the genus Fabia Dana, 1851 (Crustacea: Brachyura: Pinnotheridae)

The present partial revision accepts five of the eight species assigned to Fabia Dana, 1851 (type species) and recommends a future study to determine whether the Brazilian species F. emiliai, is a junior synonym of F. byssomiae.

New host for Dissodactylus crinitichelis (Decapoda, Pinnotheridae): First record of occurrence on Mellita quinquiesperforata (Echinodermata, Echinoidea) (Decapoda; Echinodermata)

This paper presents the first report on the association between Dissodactylus crinitichelis Moreira, 1901 and Mellita quinquiesperforata, 1778 based on specimens found in Brazilian waters, and suggests that the pinnotherid has a non-obligatory symbiotic association with M. qu Inquiesper forata.

REVIEW OF DURCKHEIMIA AND XANTHASIA, WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF TWO NEW GENERA (DECAPODA: BRACHYURA: PINNOTHERIDAE)

Morphological heterogeneity of the pinnotherid genera Durckheimia and Xanthasia has long been recognised, and both contain species with both types of third maxilliped palps.

Dissodactylus crinitichelis Moreira, 1901 and Leodia sexiesperforata (Leske, 1778): first record of this symbiosis in Brazil

The known hosts for D. crinitichelis are reviewed and for the first time the association between the pea crab and the sand dollar Leodia sexiesperforata is registered increasing to five the number ofknown hosts for the crab.

A new species and two new genera of pinnotherid crabs from the northeastern Pacific Ocean, with a reappraisal of the subfamily Pinnotherinae de Haan, 1833 (Crustacea: Brachyura: Pinnotheridae)

These adult and larval shared features support the monophyly of these genera and clearly diagnose the subfamily Pinnotherinae de Haan, 1833 sensu stricto.

Molecular evidence for non-monophyly of the pinnotheroid crabs (Crustacea : Brachyura : Pinnotheroidea), warranting taxonomic reappraisal

The relationships within and among some taxa are resolved to greater or lesser extent and the phylogenetic biodiversity of pinnotherid crabs is revealed.

Molecular evidence for non-monophyly of the pinnotheroid crabs (Crustacea : Brachyura : Pinnotheroidea), warranting taxonomic reappraisal

Molecular genetic markers were used to infer a phylogeny for the family Pinnotheridae De Haan, 1833 to reevaluate the phylogeny and systematics at the level of its subfamilies and genera and resolved the relationships within and among some taxa.

West African pinnotherid crabs, subfamily Pinnotherinae (Crustacea, Decapoda, Brachyura)

Fifteen species of Pinnotherinae, nine new, are recognized from localities in West Africa and are assigned to six new genera, based on features of the carapace, third maxilliped, walking legs,…

Diversity and ecological remarks of ectocommensals and ectoparasites (Annelida, Crustacea, Mollusca) of echinoids (Echinoidea: Mellitidae) in the Sea of Cortez, Mexico

The diversity of symbiotic invertebrates on intertidal and shallow water echinoids of the northwestern Gulf of California was studied and seasonal fluctuation was discovered in D. nitidus Smith (1870) and D. xanthusi Glassell (1936), which result in these species being undetectable during the winter season.
