A molecular perspective on the systematics of the spider crab genus Libinia Leach, 1815 (Majoidea : Epialtidae)

Invertebrate Systematics, 2021
Libinia, a genus of spider crabs, encompasses 10 valid species, three from the eastern Pacific and seven from the western Atlantic. Previous phylogenetic hypotheses based on molecular and larval morphological data suggested an uncertain position of the genus Libinia within the family Epialtidae. Therefore, we investigated the evolutionary relationships

Muscular anatomy of the legs of the forward walking crab, Libinia emarginata (Decapoda, Brachyura, Majoidea)

Arthropod Structure & Development, 2009
Decapod crustaceans have been the focus of neuroethological studies for decades. With few exceptions, however, their musculature remains scarcely described. We study the neuroethology of legged locomotion in the portly spider crab, Libinia emarginata (Brachyura, Majoidea), which preferentially walks forward.

Chromatin characteristics of spermatogenesis in the spider crab Lissa chiragra (Fabricius, 1775) (Majoidea, Epialtidae)

Crustaceana, 2021
Abstract This article uses the male spider crab Lissa chiragra, collected from Ras el Tin beach on the Mediterranean Sea at Alexandria, Egypt between January and December 2017, as a model to isolate the histone variants, H2A, H2B, H3 and H4 from spermatozoal nuclei to detect the presence of their genes and the chromatin-associated proteins.

Reproduction in the spider crab Maiopsis panamensis (Decapoda: Majoidea) in the Gulf of California

Invertebrate Biology, 2021
AbstractThe spider crab Maiopsis panamensis is the largest brachyuran crab in the Gulf of California and is found mainly in deep water. This study of the spider crab reproductive cycle in Mexican coastal waters used histological and chemical methods to describe oogenesis in detail and to define a scale of maturity based on visible characteristics for ...

Molecular phylogenetics and taxonomic reanalysis of the family Mithracidae MacLeay (Decapoda : Brachyura : Majoidea)

Invertebrate Systematics, 2014
Mithracid crabs comprise a primarily subtidal reef- and rubble-dwelling group inhabiting both tropical and subtropical seas. Despite their relative ubiquity in many hard-substrate environments, there has been little consensus about their phylogenetic relationships or whether their group rank should be that of subfamily or family.

The Snow Crab, Chionoecetes opilio (Decapoda, Majoidea, Oregoniidae) in the Barents Sea

2011
The snow crab, Chionoecetes opilio (Fabricius, 1788), is recorded from the North Pacific, Arctic and Northwest Atlantic. In 1996 however, Russian fishing vessels captured five snow crabs in the Barents Sea and since then, fishing vessels operating in the area have occasionally reported this spider crab in the by-catch.

First record of two rare spider crabs (Crustacea: Decapoda: Brachyura: Majoidea) from Brazil

Zootaxa, 2019
In this paper we report the first occurrence of two rare spider crabs (Majoidea) from Brazil, with additional morphological information based on material collected in the upper continental slope of the Potiguar Basin, northeast of Brazil. Lepteces ornatus Rathbun, 1893 (Epialtidae), originally described from the Gulf of Mexico and also reported from ...

Mimulus Stimpson, 1860, a junior synonym of Pugettia Dana, 1851 (Decapoda: Brachyura: Majoidea: Epialtidae)

Zootaxa, 2013
William Stimpson (1860) established Mimulus (Brachyura: Majoidea: Epialtidae), with a single species, M. foliatus. Rathbun (1894) placed the genus in synonymy with Pugettia Dana, 18951, but subsequent authors have considered Mimulus to be a valid genus. Genetic evidence and re-examination of the morphology indicate that M.

A New Species of Loxorhynchus Stimpson (decapoda, Majoidea, Pisidae) from the Pacific Coast of Mexico

Crustaceana, 2003
[A new species of Majoidea belonging to the family Pisidae is described from the Pacific coast of Mexico. The species is assigned to the genus Loxorhynchus Stimpson, endemic to the east Pacific and known from two species only. It is distinguished from L. grandis Stimpson, 1857, the type species, and from L.

Molecular phylogeny of the brachyuran crab superfamily Majoidea indicates close congruence with trees based on larval morphology

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2008
In this study, we constructed the first molecular phylogeny of the diverse crab superfamily Majoidea (Decapoda: Pleocyemata: Brachyura), using three loci (16S, COI, and 28S) from 37 majoid species. We used this molecular phylogeny to evaluate evidence for phylogenetic hypotheses based on larval and adult morphology.
