Sesarmidae
The Sesarmidae are a family of crabs, previously included in the Grapsidae by many authors. Several species, namely in '' Geosesarma'', '' Metopaulias'', and '' Sesarma'', are true terrestrial crabs. They do not need to return to the sea even for breeding. Genera The family contains these genera: *''Aratus'' *'' Armases'' *'' Bresedium'' *'' Chiromantes'' *'' Clistocoeloma'' *'' Contusarma'' *'' Cristarma'' *'' Danarma'' *'' Episesarma'' *'' Fasciarma'' *'' Geosesarma'' *'' Guinearma'' *'' Haberma'' *'' Karstarma'' *'' Labuanium'' *'' Leptarma'' *'' Manarma'' *'' Metagrapsus'' *'' Metasesarma'' *'' Metopaulias'' *'' Miersarma'' *'' Migmarma'' *'' Muradium'' *'' Namlacium'' *'' Nanosesarma'' *'' Neosarmatium'' *'' Neosesarma'' *'' Orisarma'' *'' Parasesarma'' *'' Perisesarma'' *'' Platychirarma'' *'' Pseudosesarma'' *'' Sarmatium'' *'' Scandarma'' *''Selatium Description Selatium, or mangrove crabs, grow to around 2cm - 2.5cm in size, and hav ...

Karstarma
''Karstarma'' is a genus of karst-dwelling crabs formerly included in '' Sesarmoides''. Description ''Karstarma'' is distinguished from the closely related '' Sesarmoides'' by the lack of a stridulatory structure on the cheliped which is present in the latter genus. Ecology & biogeography All species in the genus ''Karstarma'' are typically found in anchialine pools across the Indo-Pacific. Taxonomy The genus name ''Karstarma'' is derived from the word ''karst'', in arbitrary combination with the genus name '' Sesarma''. It has been frequently misspelt ''Karstama'', including in the original description. In the original description of the genus, 12 species were included. Three species have since been added. A new species, ''K. vulcan'', was also described from Réunion Réunion (; french: La Réunion, ; previously ''Île Bourbon''; rcf, label= Reunionese Creole, La Rényon) is an island in the Indian Ocean that is an overseas department and region of France. It is loca ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Haberma
''Haberma'' is genus of small mangrove or terrestrial crabs, typically less than across the carapace.

Most recently, '' Haberma tingkok'' was discovered in Hong Kong Hong Kong ( (US) or (UK); , ), officially the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China (abbr.

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 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Metopaulias
''Metopaulias'' is a monotypic genus of fully terrestrial land crabs which do not need to go back to the sea to spawn. ''Metopaulias depressus'' is a reddish-brown crab about wide which lives in the pools of water that form in the leaves of bromeliads in Jamaica. The female lays about 90 eggs, then tends to her offspring, removing dead leaves that would deoxygenate the water and adding snail shells to the pool to provide high levels of calcium that they require, catching cockroaches and millipedes to feed them, and killing larvae of the damselfly Damselflies are flying insects of the suborder Zygoptera in the order Odonata. They are similar to dragonflies, which constitute the other odonatan suborder, Anisoptera, but are smaller and have slimmer bodies. Most species fold the wings along ...

Sesarma
''Sesarma'' is a genus of terrestrial crabs endemic to the Americas. Many species within this genus live in mangroves. They have evolved to be fully terrestrial, which means they do not have to return to the sea even to spawn. Several species initially placed here are now placed in other genera of the Sesarmidae, and in some cases even elsewhere in the Grapsoidea. ''Sesarma'' contains the following extant species: *'' Sesarma abeokuta'' Schubart & Santl, 2014 *'' Sesarma aequatoriale'' Ortmann, 1894 *'' Sesarma ayatum'' Reimer & Diesel, 1998 *'' Sesarma bidentatum'' Benedict, 1892 *'' Sesarma cookei'' Hartnoll, 1971 *'' Sesarma crassipes'' Cano, 1889 *'' Sesarma curacaoense'' De Man, 1892 *'' Sesarma dolphinum'' Schubart & Diesel, 1998 *'' Sesarma fossarum'' Reimer, Diesel & Türkay, 1997 *'' Sesarma jarvisi'' Rathbun, 1913 *'' Sesarma meridies'' Schubart & Koller, 2005 *'' Sesarma rectum'' Randall, 1840 *''Sesarma reticulatum ''Sesarma reticulatum'', the purple marsh cra ...

Johannes Govertus De Man
Johannes Govertus de Man (2 May 1850 in Middelburg – 9 January 1930 in Middelburg), was a Dutch biologist. He was assistant curator at the (Dutch for ''national natural history museum'') in Leiden, where he specialised in free-living nematodes and decapod crustaceans, although he also wrote papers on flatworms, sipunculids and, in his dissertation only, vertebrates. His change away from vertebrates disappointed the director of the museum, and de Man left his job there after eleven years. For the rest of his life, de Man worked at his parents' house in Middelburg and later at a house near the shore at Yerseke in the Oosterschelde estuary, relying on his family's private income. Taxa named after de Man *'' Anachis demani'' De Jong & Coomans, 1988 *'' Anchistus demani'' Kemp, 1922 *'' Araeolaimus demani'' (Schuurmans-Stekhoven, 1950) Wieser, 1956 *'' Axonolaimus demani'' De Coninck & Stekhoven, 1933 *'' Caridina demani'' J.

James Dwight Dana
James Dwight Dana FRS FRSE (February 12, 1813 – April 14, 1895) was an American geologist, mineralogist, volcanologist, and zoologist. He made pioneering studies of mountain-building, volcanic activity, and the origin and structure of continents and oceans around the world. His zoological author abbreviation is Dana. Early life and career Dana was born February 12, 1813, in Utica, New York. His father was merchant James Dana (1780–1860) and his mother was Harriet Dwight (1792–1870). Through his mother he was related to the Dwight New England family of missionaries and educators including uncle Harrison Gray Otis Dwight and first cousin Henry Otis Dwight. He showed an early interest in science, which had been fostered by Fay Edgerton, a teacher in the Utica high school, and in 1830 he entered Yale College in order to study under Benjamin Silliman the elder. Graduating in 1833, for the next two years he was teacher of mathematics to midshipmen in the Navy, and sailed to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
