A new species of porcellanid crab, Petrolisthes sanmartini is described.
Abstract:
This new species and a second one, currently being described elsewhere,
are additional members of the Petrolisthes galathinus complex (Werding,
1983), which is now represented by six species in the southern
Caribbean Sea. The new species is distinguished morphologically from all
other comparable species by an exceptionally slender shape of the
walking legs and the presence of five movable spines on the dactylus of
the walking legs, and can be distinguished in the field by its
colouration as well. The identity of Petrolisthes galathinus (Bosc) is
discussed in relation to the new findings.
