Material examined

MARTINIQUE • 1 juv.; Pointe de la Baleine; 14°31.1ʹ N, 61°05.9ʹ W; depth 24 m; 30 Sep. 2016; st. AR413; MNHN-IU-2016-1221/ MK411083 View Materials GoogleMaps .

Remarks

Despite the specimen being a juvenile, it can easily be identified as Parapallene bermudensis thanks to the characteristic pectinated spines on tibia 2 and the ventrodistal extremity of the tarsus, and on the propodal sole ( Child 1982a). This is the first record of this species in Martinique, at Pointe Baleine (Caribbean coast).

Distribution

Caribbean ( Belize, Martinique), Bermuda, Gulf of Mexico (off West Florida).

Depth range

16.8– 54 m.
