Living animals are sand-coloured. No special pigmentation of the gut. Body circular (Figs 1D, 2C, 3A,B), segmentation lines not visible (Figs 1D, 2C, 3 C-E), dorsodistal spination absent. Ocular tubercle relatively flat, deprived of apical protrusion; four strongly pigmented eyes and two lateral sense organs present (Figs 1D, 4A,E).</p><p>Short abdomen orientated upwards (Figs 1D, 2C, 4A), inserted directly between walking legs 4 and having distally two laterodorsal short spines (Fig. 4A). Proboscis oval, with pointed tip (Fig. 4D).</p><p>Chelifores composed of a long article and chelae that are well developed in juveniles (Figs 1B,G) but deformed in adults (Figs 2C, 4A,B).</p><p>Palps with 8 articles in adults (Figs 2F, 4F) and 6 in juveniles (Fig. 1F). Ovigera with 10 articles in both sexes, articles 8-10 equipped with serrated spines (Fig. 4 G-I). Male ovigera with spines on all articles. In specimen examined eggs were carried between 5th and 2nd ovigera article (Fig. 4G).</p><p>Coxa 1 of all legs with 3 distal spines inserted on protrusions. In juveniles (Fig. 1E) these are less pronounced than in adults (Figs 3D, 4C). Coxa 2 equipped with 2 spines, 2× length of coxa 1; coxa 3 with bristles ventrodistally, same length as coxa 1. Length of femur 3× coxa 1. Adult male with strong protrusion (cement gland) at the dorsodistal edge of the article. Femur of ovigerous female swollen and filled with eggs (Fig. 2B). Tibia 1 0.2× as long as tibia 2. Both tibiae rather thin. Tarsus as long as wide, with several spines, ventrally with setae and distally with a single spine (Fig. 4K). Propodus slightly curved (Figs 1H, 2H, 3G, 4K), heel absent. Sole consists of a row of 6-9 thin short spines (Figs 3G, 4K), dorsomedially with 3-5 long thin spines (Figs 3G, 4K). Distal tip of propodus with curved main claw and two accessory claws at its dorsal side. Length of accessory claws 0.75× main claw (Figs 2H, 3G, 4K).</p><p>Remarks. Achelia saaeayai is a small species.Its colour can be explained as an adaptation to the habitat, i.e. infralittoral stones with algae. Due to variability of the spination and the presence of a very similar species, Achelia gracilis Verrill, 1900, the determination of A. saaeayai is not trivial. However, the number of spines on coxae 1 of legs 1 and 2 (3 in A. saaeayai and 4 in A. gracilis) turned out to be a good distinctive feature.</p><p>This species is distributed along the Atlantic coast from Georgia (USA) to Brazil and Bahamas Is. In addition, in the Atlantic and Indian Ocean, samples have been reported from West Africa, Cape Verde Is. and Madagascar (Child 1979). In the Pacific, the species is known from Fiji (Müller 1990a), and French Polynesia (Müller 1989, 1990b).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/CE051E592032FFC01C7EFA6189D8FA02	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Two or 3 hairy spines dorsally on propodus. Length of main claw 0.6× as long as propodus. Length of accessory claws 0.5× as long as main claw.</p><p>Remarks. Ammothella exornata is a small and robust species. It was collected mainly at dim-light habitats under stones. Adults of this species can easily be determined by the dorsal protuberances and the fusion of segments 3 and 4. The cuticular gland pores are either found at the tips of small protrusions or surrounded by a ring, and neighboured by a branched hair. Ammothella exornata is commonly found in the Caribbean Sea, e.g. St. Martin and Bonaire (Stock 1975), Panama (Child 1979), Belize (Child 1982), Martinique (Müller 1990) and Colombia (Müller 1990).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/CE051E592030FFCB1D8EFA528B69FAC9	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Body slender, with very long walking legs (Fig. 8A). Segmentation lines between all body segments (Figs 9B, 11C). On the dorsal side of the 2nd body segment, in some specimens also on the 1st, several long setae are inserted (Figs 8G,H). In juveniles, these have the shape of short protrusions (Fig. 8G). Each body segment with 2 lateral spines of medium length (Figs 8C, 9B,D, 11C).</p><p>Eye tubercle 2× as long as wide, with one apical sense organ on its pointed tip and two lateral sense organs (Figs 9C, 10C, 11L). Eye pigmentation in some specimens rather weak.</p><p>Abdomen slightly curved and 2× as long as eye tubercle (Figs 10D, 11J), slightly flattened on the dorsal side; dorsally and laterally setae and spines of varying size, shape and number are inserted (Fig. 11J). Segmentation line between segment 4 and abdomen (Fig. 11J).</p><p>Chelifores composed of 3 articles. 1 st article slightly shorter than 2 nd. Juveniles with developed, but not very strong chelae (Fig. 8E). Chelae rudimentary in adults (Fig. 9C).</p><p>Palps composed of 9 articles (Figs 8E, 9C, 11B); 2nd and 4th articles the longest, followed by articles 5, 6 and 9. Articles 1, 7 and 8 the shortest, equal in length. Ovigera with 10 articles (Figs 9G, 11 F-H); on the 3 distalmost of these several serrated spines are inserted (Figs 9G,H, 11G). 7 th and 8 th article each with 2 large, proximal spines (Fig. 11F). Coxa 1 with 2-4 long dorsal setae (Figs 8C, 9D, 11D) having a rounded tip with cuticular gland pore (Fig. 11E). 2 nd coxa 2× as long as 1 st coxa, and in females distally wider than in males. Coxa 3 of same length as coxa 1 (Figs 8I, 10A). Femur 2× as long as wide, distally armed with small spines (Fig. 10A). Male femur with dorsal cement gland protuberance at 0.2× to 0.21× the length of the femur. Spination in females less pronounced than in males. Adult ovigerous females may have 50- 100 eggs in femora (Fig. 9F). Tibiae of approx. same length, of a slender shape and equipped with several dorsal and lateral spines. Tibia 1 with 2 proximal long setae and 2 long spines. Both tibiae distally have two long and slender spines inserted at the tip of protuberances (Figs 8I, 10A). Tarsus as long as wide, with strong spine and several thin spines ventrally (Figs 8J, 10B, 11H). Dorsally with a single thin spine on protuberance. Propodus curved, with 3 strong, pointed basal spines ventrally in adults (Figs 10B, 11H), and 2 in juveniles, respectively (Fig. 8J). Sole composed of several small spines plus 1 pair of distal spines in adults. In addition there are 3 to 5 long, thin spines dorsomedially (Figs 10B, 11H), and several thin spines distal to the accessory claws. Main claw 0.5× as long as the propodus, only slightly curved, as accessory claws. Accessory claws 0.75× as long as main claw (Figs 10B, 11H).</p><p>Remarks. A rather reliable feature to determine A. spinifera seems to be the presence of a pair of dorsal spines near the posterior margin of the second trunk segment. Müller (1992) reported on specimens from Barbados, lacking any spines at the posterior margin of the second trunk segment. Remarkably in A. spinifera we observed a pair of spines distally on the sole, as in A. exornata . Child (1979) characterizes A. spinifera as highly variable species recorded for the Pacific coast from California to Panama, the Colombian coast, Barbados and Martinique (see also Müller 1990).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/CE051E59203AFFCE1E65FF85895EFBA3	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The latter distally with one short and one thin spine (Fig. 13G). Coxa 3 1.5× as long as of coxa 1 and 2. Femur the longest leg article, followed by tibiae 1 and 2. Terminal tubercles more pronounced on femora and tibiae than on other leg articles, as well as spines which are longer and thicker (Fig. 13H). At the right and at the left, a smaller and thinner spine is found on these leg articles.</p><p>Propodus robust und curved (Fig. 13F). Tarsus wider than long and equipped with 2 ventral spines. In addition a dorsal protuberance is found (Fig. 13F). Dorsal side of propodus with median row of 3 regularly arranged medium-length-spines. On both sides of this row a short spine is inserted at ¼ of the length of the propodus. Heel at proximoventral side of propodus with 1 spine. In addition on heel 2 thin bristles are inserted medially, and 1 thin spine at the base (Fig. 13I).</p><p>Lamella located distally at} of the propodus’ length. 2 small bristles each inserted at its base and tip (Fig. 13F). Main claw 0.6× as long as propodus. 2 very small accessory claws at the base (Fig. 13F). Absence of ovigera and segmentation indicates juvenile stage of the studied pycnogonid.</p><p>Remarks. Anoplodactylus micros is a rather small, thin species. The studied individual was found near the shore under a stone, close to Millepora corals. The shape of the propodus and of the spine at its base are distinctive features of A. micros . We note absence of a segmentation line between segments 2 and 3 compared to the 2 individuals described in Müller (1990) and Müller &amp; Krapp (in press) that have this border. To date, reports of A. micros are restricted to the Caribbean (Müller 1990).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/CE051E59203EFFCD1F8DFE4B8BC6FDB5	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Accessory claws very short and rudimentary (Fig. 15F,H).</p><p>Remarks. Our Colombian individuals of Anoplodactylus monotrema are well characterized by propodus characters and the absence of coxal spines. The heel spines described here are missing in earlier descriptions. Most remarkable are the spade-shaped spines of the sole that are of different form than those of the heel. Ovigera composed of 5 articles found in males of this species seem to be fully developed late in ontogeny, as our subadult male had only 2 to 3 articles that were hard to distinguish. This species has often been mixed with Anoplodactylus robustus (Dohrn 1881) .A good differential character, however, is the toothed finger of the chelae.</p><p>A. monotrema is distributed in the Western Atlantic Ocean from Florida to Brazil, and the first record for Colombia is that of Müller (1990).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/CE051E59203CFFCD1DAFFD4A8E7DFBE2	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Coxa 2 1.5× as long as coxa 1 (Fig. 16F). Ventrodistally with median genital porus in the form of a small thickening. Coxa 3 of same length as coxa 1. Femur 4× as long as coxa 3. Femur more robust than other leg articles, with distal protrusion equipped with long slender spine (Fig. 16F). Tibiae of equal length. As with femur, a distal thin spine is inserted on tibia 1. Similar spine at} of the length of tibia 2. Tarsus as long as wide, with several ventral bristles and small spine (Fig. 16G). Propodus 4× as long as wide. Heel with 2 spines (Fig. 16G,H). Anterior spine comb-shaped and stronger than posterior spine (Fig. 16H,I)). Sole made of numerous small, slightly curved spines (Fig. 16H). Main claw not very robust, deprived of accessory claws (Fig. 16G).</p><p>Remarks. Anoplodactylus pectinus is a slender species that can be unequivocally determined using the comb-shaped spine on the heel (Child 1979). It seems closely related to the A. tenuicorpus -complex (Arango &amp; Krapp 2007, Bartolino &amp; Krapp 2007) from the Indo-Pacific. The species in this complex are much more slender and delicate than A. pectinus, do not have a heel and are also characterized by the multiple cup or pore shaped cement glands; A. pectinus has a single cribriform cement gland.</p><p>A. pectinus is distributed in the Atlantic Ocean from Mexiko to Panama (Child 1979) and from Madagascar and Batan Island in the Pacific (Child 1988). The first record from Colombia is that of Müller (1990 &amp; in press), who found it at depths between 1 and 5 m, while the specimen studied here are from 20 m.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/CE051E59203CFFD31F92FB9788BDFE50	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Adult ♂ (ZSM-A- 20071607); Bahia Concha, Parque Nacional Tayrona, Santa Marta; from Sargassum cymosum, close to coelenterate colonies, on a stone with various algae on top, 20 m, 26.10.2004 .</p><p>Description (Fig. 18)</p><p>Living animal of light red colour. Body robust, slender (Fig. 18A). Segmentation of body well visible (Fig. 18A,B). Laterodistal parts of trunk deprived of spines (Fig. 18B). Legs separated from each other ½ of their diameter, very long and slender (Fig. 18B). Eye tubercle small, flat, equipped with 2 lateral sense organs (Fig. 18B). Abdomen short, on both sides armed with a spine (Fig. 18B).</p><p>Chelifore with 2 articles, together with the cylindrical proboscis separated from trunk by a short neck. Posterior setae on 1 st article. Chelae dorsally curved, fingers distally with several setae (Fig. 18C), a row of several roundish, blunt teeth on inner side. Chelae located directly in front of mouth. The latter made of 3 lips with numerous hairs (Fig. 18D). Palps absent in this genus.</p><p>Ovigera with 10 articles, and medium number of bristles (Fig. 18E,F). 5 th article with distal protrusion and a thin spine on top. This article is the longest, followed by the 4 th. Other ovigera articles of same length. Distalmost 4 articles each with 5-7 serrated spines on ventral sides (Fig. 18E,F). On the figure only 2 of them are visible.</p><p>Coxa 1 of all legs with some thin setae distally (Fig. 18B,G). Coxa 2, 2.5× as long as coxa 1; also with some setae distally. Coxa 3, 0.6× as long as coxa 1, also with distal setae (Fig. 18G). Femur slightly wider than following leg articles, but of approx. same length. Tibia 2 slightly longer. All leg articles with several small setae dorsally and dorsodistally (Fig. 18G). Tarsus as long as wide, with ventral spine and several small setae (Fig. 18H). Propodus curved, 4 long alternating spines on the proximal part (Fig. 18H). Sole with median row of strong small spines and 2 lateral setae of medium length. Further setae on the dorsal and lateral parts of the propodus (Fig. 18H). Main claw 0.3× as long as propodus. Accessory claws 0.75× as long as main claws. Auxiliaries with tiny denticles at base (circle in Fig. 18H).</p><p>Remarks. Callipallene breoirostris is a rather large pycnogonid. Our specimen was the only pycnogonid we found directly on algae, where it sat well hidden due to its colour. The flat eye tubercle and the segmentation of the last segment are distinctive features with respect to Callipallene longicoxa, a very similar species. Müller (1990), Müller &amp; Krapp (in press) report this species close to the shore, while our specimen is from a SCUBA sample from a depth of 20 m. C. breoirostris is common in the Mediterranean and Northern Atlantic (Stock 1987), previously reported from Colombian coasts in Müller (1990 &amp; in press).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/CE051E592024FFD51DB7FCCE8898FA98	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
