Loxothylacus Panopaei
''Loxothylacus panopaei'' is a species of barnacle in the family Sacculinidae. It is native to the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. It is a parasitic castrator of small mud crabs in the family Panopeidae, mostly in the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean Sea and the eastern Atlantic Ocean. Taxonomy ''L. panopaei'' was first described by the American zoologist Charles F. Gissler in 1884; it was parasitizing the mud crab '' Panopeus lacustris'' and was collected at Tampa, Florida. The barnacle infects a number of species of mud crab and it seems likely that it is a species complex. Further taxonomic studies should clarify the position. Description The parasitic adult ''L. panopaei'' consists of an externa, a yellowish-orange mass of soft tissue, attached by a stalk to a host crab's abdomen; the stalk branches internally into tubes which surround the crab's gut. Distribution ''L. panopaei'' is native to the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean Sea, the Atlantic coasts from Cape C ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
