Neoglyphea
''Neoglyphea inopinata'' is a species of glypheoid lobster, a group thought long extinct before ''Neoglyphea'' was discovered. It is a lobster-like animal, up to around in length, although without claws. It is only known from 17 specimens, caught at two sites – one at the entrance to Manila Bay in the Philippines, and one in the Timor Sea, north of Australia. Due to the small number of specimens available, little is known about the species, but it appears to live up to five years, with a short larval phase. A second species, previously included in ''Neoglyphea'', is now placed in a separate genus, ''Laurentaeglyphea''. Taxonomy ''Neoglyphea inopinata'' was named in 1975 by Jacques Forest and Michèle de Saint Laurent of the ' in Paris. It was based on a single damaged specimen that had been caught by the USFC ''Albatross'' in the Philippines in 1908, and deposited in the United States National Museum. De Saint Laurent examined the unidentified specimen while working on ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Laurentaeglyphea
''Laurentaeglyphea neocaledonica'' is a species of Glypheoidea, glypheoid lobster, and the only species in the genus ''Laurentaeglyphea''. It is known from a single specimen collected on a guyot in the Coral Sea between Australia and New Caledonia. It is thought to be an active predator with color vision, colour vision, unlike its nearest living relative, ''Neoglyphea inopinata''. Description ''Laurentaeglyphea'' is known from a single adult female specimen, with a carapace in size. In life, the animal is whitish and marked with red patches, especially on the abdomen and the distal segments of the first pereiopods; the markings are much fainter on the carapace. ''Laurantaeglyphea'' has large :wikt:reniform, reniform (kidney-shaped) eyes, more developed in the lower half than the upper. The epistome, behind the two pairs of antenna (biology), antennae on the ventral side, is large, but considerably shorter than that of ''Neoglyphea''. ''Laurantaeglyphea'' has five pairs of perei ...

Glypheidae
The Glypheoidea (containing the glypheoid lobsters), is a group of lobster-like decapod crustaceans which forms an important part of fossil faunas, such as the Solnhofen limestone. These fossils included taxa such as ''Glyphea'' (from which the group takes its name), and ''Mecochirus'', mostly with elongated (often semichelate) chelipeds. This group of decapods is a good example of a living fossil, or a lazarus taxon, since until their discovery in the 1970s, the group was considered to have become extinct in the Eocene. The superfamily Glypheoidea comprises five families. The two extant species, ''Neoglyphea inopinata'' and ''Laurentaeglyphea neocaledonica'', are both in the Glypheidae. Prehistoric abundance The first animals attributable to the Glypheoidea appeared in the Permo-Triassic. They were abundant in the Jurassic, but declined from the Cretaceous to the Eocene. Extant taxa The Glypheoidea was originally considered to be a purely fossil group. That opinion had to b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Michèle De Saint Laurent
Michèle de Saint Laurent (December 9, 1926 – July 11, 2003) was a French carcinologist. She spent most of her career at the ' in Paris, working on the systematics of decapod crustaceans; her major contributions were to hermit crabs and Thalassinidea, and she also co-described ''Neoglyphea'', a living fossil discovered in 1975. Biography Michèle de Saint Laurent was born on December 9, 1926 at Fontainebleau, near Paris.Obituary by Jacques Forest, originally published in French as Forest (2004a), and later published in translation by Gary C. B. Poore as Forest (2004b). Her father, an army officer, retired on grounds of ill health in 1938 and moved with his family to Plestin-les-Grèves in Brittany; he died in 1939. During the Second World War, Michèle's mother concealed British airmen from the Nazi regime, for which she was convicted in 1942 by a military tribunal and sent to Ravensbrück concentration camp, where she died in 1944. Michèle married in 1950, taking the n ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Jacques Forest
Jacques Forest (14 June 1920 – 16 February 2012) was a French carcinologist. Biography Born in Créteil on 14 June 1920, Jacques Forest grew up in Maubeuge. He served in the army for a year during the Second World War, and went on to study at the University of Lille after demobilisation. After graduating, he worked for several years for the ' ("scientific and technical office for marine fisheries"; now part of IFREMER); his early publications concerned a variety of fish species. In 1949, he joined the ' in Paris, where he would remain for the rest of his career. In association with Jean-Louis Fage, Forest began working on hermit crabs, and rapidly became an expert; he described over 70 new species in the family Diogenidae, for example. He also published on other Decapoda, including crabs and, most significantly, ''Neoglyphea inopinata'', a living species of a group previously considered long-since extinct. Forest was also an enthusiastic field biologist, and took part in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Specific Name (zoology)
In zoological nomenclature, the specific name (also specific epithet or species epithet) is the second part (the second name) within the scientific name of a species (a binomen). The first part of the name of a species is the name of the genus or the generic name. The rules and regulations governing the giving of a new species name are explained in the article species description. For example, the scientific name for humans is ''Homo sapiens'', which is the species name, consisting of two names: ''Homo'' is the " generic name" (the name of the genus) and ''sapiens'' is the "specific name". Historically, ''specific name'' referred to the combination of what are now called the generic and specific names. Carl Linnaeus, who formalized binomial nomenclature, made explicit distinctions between specific, generic, and trivial names. The generic name was that of the genus, the first in the binomial, the trivial name was the second name in the binomial, and the specific the proper term fo ...
