Stenopodidae
Stenopodidae is a family of decapods in the order Decapoda, sometimes known as boxer shrimp. There are about 6 genera and more than 30 described species in Stenopodidae. The oldest record of the family dates to the Devonian. Genera These six genera belong to the family Stenopodidae: * ''Juxtastenopus'' Goy, 2010 * ''Odontozona'' Holthuis, 1946 * ''Richardina'' A. Milne Edwards, 1881 * ''Sthenopus (boxer shrimp), Sthenopus'' Latreille, 1819 * † ''Devonostenopus'' Jones et al., 2014 * † ''Phoenice (crustacean), Phoenice'' Garassino, 2000 References Further reading * * * * Stenopodidea {{decapod-stub ...

Juxtastenopus
''Juxtastenopus spinulatus'' is a species of Stenopodidea, stenopodidean shrimp. It lives in the Red Sea, and across the Indian Ocean as far east as the Philippines. It is red or pink, up to long, with enlarged third pereiopods. Originally described in the genus ''Engystenopus'', it is now placed in the monotypic genus ''Juxtastenopus'', in the family Stenopodidae. Description ''Juxtastenopus'' grows to a total body length of long (carapace length: ). In life, the animals are red or pinkish, but with white tips to the chela (organ), chelae (claws) on the enlarged third pereiopods (walking legs). Females are reproductive at lengths around , and carry between 27 and 132 eggs, each initially in diameter. Distribution Most specimens of ''J. spinulatus'' have been collected from the Red Sea at depths of , where the water is warm. That warm water mass drops to a depth of on passing through the Bab-el-Mandeb strait into the Gulf of Aden, and ''J. spinulatus'' has also been collected ...

Stenopus Hispidus
''Stenopus hispidus'' is a shrimp-like decapod crustacean belonging to the infraorder Stenopodidea. Common names include coral banded shrimp and banded cleaner shrimp. Distribution ''Stenopus hispidus'' has a pan-tropical distribution, extending into some temperate areas. It is found in the western Atlantic Ocean from Canada to Brazil, including the Gulf of Mexico. In Australia, it is found as far south as Sydney and it also occurs around New Zealand. Description ''Stenopus hispidus'' reaches a total length of , and has striking colouration. The ground colour is transparent, but the carapace, abdomen and the large third pereiopod are all banded red and white. The antennae and other pereiopods are white. The abdomen, carapace and third pereiopods are covered in spines. ''Stenopus hispidus'' has the ability to detect individuals of its species. This trait is uncommon in invertebrates and is most likely explained through chemical signals. Ecology ''Stenopus hispidus'' lives be ...

Decapoda
The Decapoda or decapods, from Ancient Greek δεκάς (''dekás''), meaning "ten", and πούς (''poús''), meaning "foot", is a large order of crustaceans within the class Malacostraca, and includes crabs, lobsters, crayfish, shrimp, and prawns. Most decapods are scavengers. The order is estimated to contain nearly 15,000 extant species in around 2,700 genera, with around 3,300 fossil species. Nearly half of these species are crabs, with the shrimp (about 3,000 species) and Anomura including hermit crabs, king crabs, porcelain crabs, squat lobsters (about 2500 species) making up the bulk of the remainder. The earliest fossils of the group date to the Devonian. Anatomy Decapods can have as many as 38 appendages, arranged in one pair per body segment. As the name Decapoda (from the Greek , ', "ten", and , '' -pod'', "foot") implies, ten of these appendages are considered legs. They are the pereiopods, found on the last five thoracic segments. In many decapods, one ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Devonian
The Devonian ( ) is a period (geology), geologic period and system (stratigraphy), system of the Paleozoic era (geology), era during the Phanerozoic eon (geology), eon, spanning 60.3 million years from the end of the preceding Silurian period at million years ago (Megaannum, Ma), to the beginning of the succeeding Carboniferous period at Ma. It is the fourth period of both the Paleozoic and the Phanerozoic. It is named after Devon, South West England, where rocks from this period were first studied. The first significant evolutionary radiation of history of life#Colonization of land, life on land occurred during the Devonian, as free-spore, sporing land plants (pteridophytes) began to spread across dry land, forming extensive coal forests which covered the continents. By the middle of the Devonian, several groups of vascular plants had evolved leaf, leaves and true roots, and by the end of the period the first seed-bearing plants (Pteridospermatophyta, pteridospermatophyt ...

Phoenice (crustacean)
Phoenice or Phoenike () was an ancient Greek city in Epirus and capital of the Chaonians.: "To the north the Chaonians had expelled the Corcyraeans from their holdings on the mainland and built fortifications at Buthrotum, Kalivo and Kara-Ali-Bey; and they had a citadel at their political centre, Phoenice.". It is located high on an almost impregnable hill commanding the fertile valley below and near the modern town of the same name, Finiq, in southern Albania. It was the wealthiest city in Epirus and had the strongest walls until the Roman conquest.. It was the location of the Treaty of Phoenice which ended the First Macedonian War. The city is part of an archaeological park. Toponym The toponym is ultimately of non-Indo-European origin, as with all names with an -īk suffix in IE languages. There were at least 16 toponyms throughout the Ancient Greek world sharing the root ''Phoinik-''; from Epirus to Lycia. In ancient Greek, φοῖνιξ (''phoenix'') may have acquired dif ...
