Abstract
A new species of crab belonging to the genus Lyphira Galil, 2009 of the family Leucosiidae Samouelle, 1819, is described from Gujarat state, India. Lyphira georgei n. sp. is distinguished from the related species L. perplexa Galil, 2009, in the shape of main shaft and apical lobe of male first gonopod, shape and size of the male telson as well as size and shape of somite 2 of male abdomen. The details of morphological differences are presented in the report. http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:8DC6CACE-4BF9-45F4-B151-CFB2BAF4D82B
期刊介绍:
Tropical Zoology is an international zoological journal publishing original papers in the field of systematics, biogeography, phylogeny, ecology and conservation of all terrestrial and aquatic animal Phyla from tropical and subtropical areas.
Only papers with new information, high quality and broad interest are considered. Single species description and checklists are not normally accepted. Review papers are welcome. The journal is owned by the Istituto di Ricerca sugli Ecosistemi Terrestri of the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Florence, Italy (CNR-IRET) who performs research into the structure and functioning of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, focusing in particular on anthropogenic pressure and global change. The knowledge amassed forms the scientific basis for identifying the most appropriate protective and corrective interventions, and provides support for the bodies entrusted with formulating policies for environmental protection and recovery.
