Thalassinideans (Decapoda) new to the fauna of Bermuda and the Cape Verde Islands

Neocallichirus rathbunae, a thalassinidean common in the western Atlantic, is first recorded for Bermuda from two subtidal habitats. Corallianassa intesi comb.n. and Axiopsis serratifrons are recorded for the first time from inter-and subtidal sediments of the Cape Verde Islands. Based on morphologi...

Description
Summary:Neocallichirus rathbunae, a thalassinidean common in the western Atlantic, is first recorded for Bermuda from two subtidal habitats. Corallianassa intesi comb.n. and Axiopsis serratifrons are recorded for the first time from inter-and subtidal sediments of the Cape Verde Islands. Based on morphological and ecological traits, Corallianassa intesi is transferred from its former genus Glypturus Stimpson, 1866 to the genus Corallianassa Manning, 1987. Drei Maulwurfskrebs-Arten wurden auf Atlantischen Inseln erstmals gefangen: Neocallichirus rathbunae in zwei Lebensräumen Bermudas, Corallianassa intesi comb.n. und Axiopsis serratifrons auf verschiedenen eu-und sublitoralen Sandböden der Kap Verde Inseln. Aufgrund von morphologischen und ökologischen Merkmalen wird vorgeschlagen Corallianassa intesi aus der Gattung Glypturus Stimpson, 1866 in die Gattung Corallianassa Manning, 1987 zu stellen.
