While there have reports of the ''C. maculatus'' as being poisonous, biochemical testing has revealed that they lack any paralytic shellfish toxins. Description It is the most prominent of the genus ''Carpilius'', due to its ability to be easily identified by the presence of eleven bright red spots located on its cream-colored carapace.Raju B, Raheem P, Anil M, Saleela K. 2015.

Carpilius Convexus
''Carpilius convexus'' is a species of crab that lives in the Indo-Pacific, from Hawaii to the Red Sea and South Africa. It was first described by Peter Forsskål in 1775 as "''Cancer convexus''", and has sometimes been treated as a variety of the larger species ''Carpilius maculatus ''Carpilius maculatus'' common names seven-eleven crab, spotted reef crab, dark-finger coral crab, and large spotted crab, is a species of crab in the family Family (from la, familia) is a group of people related either by consanguinity ...''. The biology of the genus ''Carpilius'' is poorly known. A Carpilius convexus coloration is a yellow-brown or red, with patches that are mainly brown, growing up to 25 cm.

Crab
Crabs are decapod crustaceans of the infraorder Brachyura, which typically have a very short projecting " tail" ( abdomen) ( el, βραχύς , translit=brachys = short, / = tail), usually hidden entirely under the thorax. They live in all the world's oceans, in freshwater, and on land, are generally covered with a thick exoskeleton, and have a single pair of pincers. They first appeared during the Jurassic Period. Description Crabs are generally covered with a thick exoskeleton, composed primarily of highly mineralized chitin, and armed with a pair of chelae (claws). Crabs vary in size from the pea crab, a few millimeters wide, to the Japanese spider crab, with a leg span up to . Several other groups of crustaceans with similar appearances – such as king crabs and porcelain crabs – are not true crabs, but have evolved features similar to true crabs through a process known as carcinisation. Environment Crabs are found in all of the world's oceans, as well as i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Anselme Gaëtan Desmarest
Anselme Gaëtan Desmarest (6 March 1784 – 4 June 1838) was a French zoologist and author. He was the son of Nicolas Desmarest and father of Eugène Anselme Sébastien Léon Desmarest. Desmarest was a disciple of Georges Cuvier and Alexandre Brongniart, and in 1815, he succeeded Pierre André Latreille to the professorship of zoology at the '. He was elected to the American Philosophical Society in 1819 and to the Académie Nationale de Médecine in 1820. Desmarest published ' (1805), ' (1825), ' (1820) and ' (1816–30, with André Marie Constant Duméril). The brown algae ''Desmarestia'' is named in honour of Desmarest, as well as the family (Desmarestiaceae) — and in turn, the order (Desmarestiales) — of which the genus is the type species In zoological nomenclature, a type species (''species typica'') is the species name with which the name of a genus or subgenus is considered to be permanently taxonomically associated, i.e., the species that contains the biological ...

World Register Of Marine Species
The World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) is a taxonomic database that aims to provide an authoritative and comprehensive list of names of marine organisms. Content The content of the registry is edited and maintained by scientific specialists on each group of organism. These taxonomists control the quality of the information, which is gathered from the primary scientific literature as well as from some external regional and taxon-specific databases. WoRMS maintains valid names of all marine organisms, but also provides information on synonyms and invalid names. It is an ongoing task to maintain the registry, since new species are constantly being discovered and described by scientists; in addition, the nomenclature and taxonomy of existing species is often corrected or changed as new research is constantly being published. Subsets of WoRMS content are made available, and can have separate badging and their own home/launch pages, as "subregisters", such as the ''World List ...

Atergatis Subdentatus
''Atergatis subdentatus'', also known as the red reef crab, dark-finger coral crab or eyed coral crab, is a species of crab in the family Xanthidae. Description ''Atergatis subdentatus'' has a compact shape, and may appear either uniform crimson in colour, or may have an irregularly mottled yellow on a crimson background. It has a broadly subquadrilateral carapace which grows to about wide, and has finely punctulated by the anterior and antero-lateral borders. It normally has an orange spot in the centre of the carapace, often with two small, white 'eyes' within. The arms have a flattish inner surface with two, inward-pointing teeth. Beside the teeth are brush-like hairs grouped together in four or five bundles. Distribution The type locality for this species is Japan Japan ( ja, 日本, or , and formally , ''Nihonkoku'') is an island country in East Asia. It is situated in the northwest Pacific Ocean, and is bordered on the west by the Sea of Japan, while extendin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
