Nephropides caribaeus is a species of lobster , the only species in the genus Nephropides . It is found in western parts of the Caribbean Sea , from Belize to Colombia . It grows to a total length of around 170 mm (6.7 in ), and is covered in conspicuous tubercles .
Description
[ edit ]
Nephropides caribaeus is a narrow lobster, resembling Nephropsis or Nephrops . Adults of N. caribaeus are typically 155–170 millimetres (6.1–6.7 in ) in total length, or 51–58 mm (2.0–2.3 in ) in carapace length.[2] It differs from Nephropsis in that the eyes contain pigment, which is lacking in Nephropsis .[2] The rostrum has 2–3 lateral spines , but no spines on the lower edge.[2] The whole body is covered in large tubercles , including the first pereiopods with their large chelae , and the other, smaller pereiopods.[2]
Distribution and ecology
[ edit ]
Nephropides caribaeus is found in the western Caribbean Sea , and has been recorded from Belize to Colombia .[1] It is a deep-water species, living on muddy bottoms at depths of 455–728 metres (1,493–2,388 ft ).[1]
Taxonomic history
[ edit ]
The genus Nephropides and the species N. caribaeus were both erected in 1969 by Raymond B. Manning . A second species later described in the genus has since been transferred to Thymops as Thymops birsteini .[3] The Food and Agriculture Organization has assigned the species an English name of "mitten lobsterette".[4] The type locality is at 12°25′N 82°15′W / 12.417°N 82.250°W / 12.417; -82.250 , off the coast of Nicaragua , at a depth of 546–582 metres (1,791–1,909 ft ).[4] The generic name Nephropides alludes to a close relationship with the genus Nephrops , while the specific epithet caribaeus is a reference to the Caribbean Sea.[2]
