EVOLUTION IN THE PHYLLOSOMA AND PUERULUS PHASES OF THE SPINY LOBSTER GENUS PANULIRUS WHITE

EVOLUTION IN THE PHYLLOSOMA AND PUERULUS PHASES OF THE SPINY LOBSTER GENUS PANULIRUS WHITE The shallow-water genus Panulirus is re- garded as the most advanced of the Palin- uridae (spiny lobsters) and contains the greatest number of species, many resulting from post-Pliocene radiations into equato- rial regions (George and Main, 1967; George, 1974).

Abstract

The shallow-water genus Panulirus is re- garded as the most advanced of the Palin- uridae (spiny lobsters) and contains the greatest number of species, many resulting from post-Pliocene radiations into equato- rial regions (George and Main, 1967; George, 1974). George and Main (1967) established an evolutionary sequence of four species-groups for the 19 extant species of the genus Pan- ulirus. The four groups are shown in Table 1 which is the correct version of the adult species-groups of Table 3 of George and Main (1967). Due to a misprint in publi- cation, Panulirus gracilis Streets and P. in- flatus (Bouvier) appeared in Group IV in- stead of Group III. This correction was con- firmed by personal communication with Dr. Ray George (60 Lucy Victoria Avenue, Australind, Western Australia 6230, Aus- tralia). The species-groups of Panulirus of George and Main (1967) were based on the com- parative morphology of the second and third maxillipeds, which have fully developed ex- opods in all other palinurid genera. Within the genus Panulirus, species with the most reduced exopods (Group IV) are regarded as the most recently evolved.
