Keywords: | Crustacea;Hermit crab,;cryptic species;colour pattern | Issue Date: | 2012 | Publisher: | Magnolia Press | Journal Volume: | 3367 | Journal Issue: | 1 | Start page/Pages: | 165-175 | Source: | Zootaxa | Abstract: | A new species of Calcinus is described from western Pacific material, including specimens previously identified as Cal-cinus anani Poupin & McLaughlin, 1998. The new species C. fuscus n. sp. differs from C. anani in the colouration in life,and their specific distinction is genetically supported by the barcoding gene cytochrome oxidase I (COI). The two speciesalso have different geographic distributions, with C. fuscus n. sp. ranging from Japan to the Philippines, Papua New Guin-ea, and New Caledonia, while C. anani is restricted to French Polynesia. Moreover C. fuscus n. sp. is found at shallower depths than its sister species C. anani. |
