Gutu (2009)

dct:abstract

Genus Vestigiramus n. g., from the Caribbean Sea, the waters of the Martinique Island, is described; it is characterized by the presence of a vestigial exopodite, uniarticulated and devoid of setae, at the cheliped level. The new genus (classified in the subfamily Chondropodinae Gutu, 2008) included two species: V. antillensis n. sp. and V codreanui (Gutu, 1996), comb. nov. At the same time, it is recorded the presence of an unknown morphological component on the female chelipeds of the new genus and some amendments are mentioned for the description of the species V codreanui, comb. nov. (from the Brazilian waters of the Atlantic Ocean) and for the diagnosis of the subfamily Chondropodinae. From Martinique (Caribbean Sea) and Reunion Islands (Indian Ocean), Apseudomorpha martinicana n. sp. and Pseudoapseudomorpha curtisetosa n. sp., respectively, are described, and the identification keys of the genera Apseudomorpha and Pseudoapseudomorpha species are presented. Also, from the waters of the Hispaniola Island (Dominican Republic), Pseudoapseudomorpha gomezi Gutu & Ortiz, 2009 is recorded.
