A New Genus and Species of Lobster (Decapoda, Nephropidae) From the Caribbean Sea

A New Genus and Species of Lobster (Decapoda, Nephropidae) From the Caribbean Sea A NEW GENUS AND SPECIES OF LOBSTER (DECAPODA, NEPHROPIDAE) FROM THE CARIBBEAN SEA BY RAYMOND B.

Abstract

A NEW GENUS AND SPECIES OF LOBSTER (DECAPODA, NEPHROPIDAE) FROM THE CARIBBEAN SEA BY RAYMOND B. MANNING Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C., U.S.A. The nephropid lobster described herein was found in the course of examining several collections of crustaceans sent to the Division of Crustacea, Smithsonian Institution for identification by Harvey R.

A comparison of material of this lobster with other nephropids in the collection of the Division of Crustacea showed that it represents not only an undescribed species but also a new genus. L. B. Holthuis has brought to my attention the fact that the family name for these lobsters, Nephropsidae, as used until now, is incorrectly spelled. The name is derived from the type-genus, Nephrop.r, and should be spelled Nephropidae. I would like to thank Harvey R. Bullis, Jr. for making this material available for study and L. B.
