William Stimpson
William Stimpson (February 14, 1832 – May 26, 1872) was a noted American scientist. He was interested particularly in marine biology. Stimpson became an important early contributor to the work of the Smithsonian Institution and later, director of the Chicago Academy of Sciences. Biography Stimpson was born in Boston, Massachusetts to Herbert Hathorne Stimpson and Mary Ann Devereau Brewer. The Stimpsons were of the colonial stock of Massachusetts, the earliest known member of the family being James Stimpson, who was married in 1661, in Milton. His mother died at an early age. William Stimpson's father was an ingenious inventor, and a leading merchant of Boston in the mid decades of the nineteenth century, trading as "H. & F. Stimpson, stoves and furnaces, corner of Congress and Water Streets. It was he who invented the "Stimpson range", the first sheet-iron cooking stove, famous in its day throughout New England. He also made improvements in rifles, and suggested the placin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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 in fresh w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pseudothelphusidae
Pseudothelphusidae is a family of freshwater crabs found chiefly in mountain streams in the Neotropics. They are believed to have originated in the Greater Antilles and then crossed to Central America via a Pliocene land bridge. Parasitology Pseudothelpshusids are of significance to humans because many species are secondary hosts for lung flukes of the genus ''Paragonimus''. Predators of pseuthelphusid crabs include the yellow-spotted river turtle and the tufted capuchin. Taxonomy Forty genera are recognised: *'' Allacanthos'' Smalley, 1964 *'' Achlidon'' Smalley, 1964 *'' Brasiliothelphusa'' Magalhães & Türkay, 1986 *'' Camptophallus'' Smalley, 1965 *''Chaceus'' Pretzmann, 1965 *''Disparithelphusa'' Smalley & Adkinson, 1984 *'' Ehecatusa'' Ng & Low, 2010 *''Eidocamptophallus'' Rodríguez & Hobbs, 1989 *''Elsalvadoria'' Bott, 1967 *''Epilobocera'' Stimpson, 1860 *''Eudaniela'' Pretzmann, 1971 *''Fredius'' Pretzmann, 1967 *''Guinotia ''Guinotia'' is a genus of crabs in ...

Epilobocera Gertraudae
''Neoepilobocera gertraudae'' is a species of cave-dwelling crab from Cuba. Classification The species was first described by Gerhard Pretzmann as ''Epilobocera gertraudae'' in 1965. ''N. gertraudae'' is classified in the family Pseudothelphusidae, and is the only species in the genus ''Neoepilobocera''. It is considered by some authorities to be synonymous with the widespread ''Epilobocera cubensis''. Distribution It is only found in karstic caves in Viñales and nearby parts of Pinar del Río Province, Cuba. Description ''Neoepilobocera gertraudae'' differs from the other freshwater crabs of Cuba, all in the genus ''Epilobocera'', by its longer legs and paler coloration, both of which are adaptations to living in caves. It is smaller than ''Epilobocera'', reaching a carapace A carapace is a Dorsum (biology), dorsal (upper) section of the exoskeleton or shell in a number of animal groups, including arthropods, such as crustaceans and arachnids, as well as vertebrates, such ...
