A review of the Dardanus sinistripes (Stimpson, 1859) (Decapoda, Anomura, Diogenidae) species complexwith the description of five new species from the Mexican Pacific

摘要

An exhaustive revision of material identified as Dardanus sinistripes (Stimpson, 1859) in collections in Mexico and the USA, and of new material ofDardanus collected in several localities in the Eastern Pacific revealed the existence of five undescribed species closely related to D. sinistripes. Detailed study of this material allows us to redescribe D. sinistripes based on a neotype selected from a locality in Panama, and to describe D. nudus n. sp., D. stimpsoni n. sp., D. janethaigae n. sp., D. pilosus n. sp. and D. magdalenensis n. sp. The six species of the genus Dardanus in the Eastern Pacific are fully illustrated and compared.
