Abstract |
Paraglypturus calderus gen. nov., sp. nov. (Callianassidae) and Xenograpsus novaeinsularis
TAKEDA & KURATA 1977 (Grapsidae) are recorded from Esmeralda Bank, an active submarine
volcano in the Mariana Arc. The material was recovered alive in sediment from 63-114 m depth
with pore water temperatures of 50°C-78.5°C. It is suggested, however, that these animals live in
surface sediment layers at lower temperatures. |
