Abstract |
A new species of deep-sea spider crab of the genus Cyrtomaia (Brachyura: Majidae) is described from Guam and Palau.
Cyrtomaia micronesica n. sp. is differentiated from its closest congener, C. cornuta Guinot & Richer de Forges, 1988,
from New Caledonia by a different carapace armature, shorter basal antennal spines, proportionately longer chelipeds,
relatively longer male second and fourth ambulatory meri, and a different male first pleopod. |
