Toxins extracted from Australian specimens of the crab, Eriphia sebana (Xanthidae)
Toxicon, 1989Aqueous extracts of 75 specimens of the xanthid crab, Eriphia sebana, collected from coral reefs in the Capricorn Group, Great Barrier Reef, Australia, were assayed for toxicity to mice. Thirty-five extracts contained detectable toxicity. Toxicity was quantified by i.p.

Eocene origin of anemone-carrying behaviour in polydectine crabs (Brachyura: Xanthidae)
Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2023Abstract The crabs in the subfamily Polydectinae (family Xanthidae) have adapted a defence behaviour in which living invertebrates are used as protection from predators. The polydectine crabs carry a living invertebrate, a sea anemone or nudibranch, in each claw, which is positioned in front of the body and waved to scare off attackers ...

Allometric Growth of the Carapace in Trapezia (Brachyura, Xanthidae)
Journal of Crustacean Biology, 1985ABSTRACT Relative growth of the carapace was studied in three species of xanthid crabs of the genus Trapezia to determine if the species can be separated by their patterns of relative growth. Adult crabs were collected in Panama and Hawaii. Carapace width (cw), carapace length (cl), and the width between the orbits, or ocular width (ow), were measured ...

Brachyuran crabs (Xanthoidea: Xanthidae, Pilumnidae, Menippidae and Trapeziidae) of southern Oman [PDF]
Tropical Zoology, 1994 Thirty-eight species of xanthoid crab are recorded for the first time from Dhofar Province, southern Oman. The geographical range of three species [Nanocassiope alcocki (Rathbun 1902), Actumnus digitalis (Rathbun 1907), and Macromedaeus crassimanus (A. Milne Edwards 1867)] is substantially extended.

On two new brachyuran records (Decapoda, Dromiidae and Xanthidae) from Taiwan
Crustaceana, 2006[Two brachyuran crabs, Cryptodromia tuberculata Stimpson, 1858 (Dromiidae) and Leptodius nigromaculatus Serene, 1962 (Xanthidae) are recorded for the first time from the coasts of the main island of Taiwan. The taxonomy of C. tuberculata and L. nigromaculatus is discussed, and local distribution patterns of other species of Leptodius are compared. Deux

The Larval Development of Heteropanope Glabra Stimpson, 1858 (Decapoda, Xanthidae) in the Laboratory
Crustaceana, 1984Les quatre stades zoe et la megalope de Heteropanope glabra Stimpson, 1858 sont decrits pour la premiere fois. Ils ont ete eleves a la temperature de 21 ± 1°C, avec une salinite de 31 ± 1°/oo. La duree minimale de tous les stades zoe etait de deux jours et la duree moyenne du stade megalope de 12,7 jours.

Estuaries, 1979
Investigations into zonation of estuarine invertebrates often indicate that animals living higher in the intertidal region have greater tolerance to effects of aerial exposure. Desiccation tolerances ofEurypanopeus depressus, a xanthid mud crab, were measured in the laboratory for both intertidal and subtidal populations to determine whether intertidal

PRESENCE OF MICROCASSIOPE-MINOR (DANA) (CRUSTACEA, DECAPODA, XANTHIDAE) IN THE WESTERN MEDITERRANEAN
1992The collect of a male specimen of Microcassiope minor (Dana) from the southeast of Spain represents the first record of the species for the West Mediterranean Sea. The recent studies of the decapod fauna of the Alboran Sea show that West African Atlantic species are colonizing this Mediterranean area.
