New genera, new species and new records of Indo-West Pacific spider crabs (Crustacea: Brachyura: Epialtidae: Majoidea)

Abstract: Three new genera and five new species of epialtid majoid crabs are described from deep water in the western Pacific. Two new species of Oxypleurodon Miers, 1886: O. sanctaeclausi n. sp. and O. annulatum n. sp. are described from the Philippines. New specimens of the rare Oxypleurodon carbunculum (Rathbun, 1906) from the Hawaiian Islands are also recorded. Three new genera are established: Garthinia n. gen. for G. disica n. sp. from the Solomon Islands; Guinotinia n. gen. for G. cordis n. sp. from New Caledonia… Show more

“…Adding to this complexity, the pace at which new species and genera are being described is quite high (e.g. Forges & Ng ; Tavares & Santana ; Ng & De Forges , ). Despite these recent advancements, it is surprising that very few molecular studies have addressed the phylogenetic relationships of Epialtidae below the genus level (see Gomes ).…”

“…Além disso, espécies novas e já conhecidas foram adicionadas a Oxypleurodon (principalmente transferidas para ele de Sphenocarcinus s.l.) (por exemplo, Richer de Forges, 1995;Webber & Richer de Forges, 1995;Richer de Forges & Ng, 2009a, 2009bLee et al, 2015Lee et al, , 2017.…”

“…A caracterização inadequada do gênero (ainda hoje mal caracterizado) resultou em uma série de problemas taxonômicos que se somavam à medida que novas espécies eram descritas (ou transferidas) em Rochinia. Consequentemente, o gênero Rochinia sofreu várias reestruturações na sua definição e composição taxonômica Garth, 1958;Griffin & Tranter, 1986;Webber & Richer de Forges, 1995;Richer de Forges & Ng, 2009a).…”
