Notes

Reported from Peru (Sample NA064-022-01-01-A). Genetics could not provide idenfication beyond genus. The images were taken too far away to see features of the teeth on the rostrum or the relative length of the rostrum to the carapace and so neither Fig. 27 nor Fig. 28 can be identified beyond Nematocarcinus . Furthermore, it cannot be determined whether they are the same species or not. Species of Nematocarcinus have elongate, thread-like legs, barely visible in Fig. 28 .
