A New Sponge Associated Shrimp of the Genus Periclimenaeus Borradaile, 1915 (Decapoda, Palaemonidae) from the Tropical Eastern Atlantic, Cabo Verde Islands.
Year: 2022
Type: article
Abstract: , the new species can be distinguished, among other features, by the shorter rostrum armed with lower number of dorsal teeth, the relative length of the scaphocerite to the antennular peduncle, and by the slender distal articles of the third maxilliped. The new species is also reported to excavate its own burrows for living inside its sponge host, a behaviour previously unknown in species of the genus.
