Short description Morphology
This species can be distinguished from its congeners by a very short rostrum (often not exceeding half of the cornea) and absence of setae on the pterygostomial angle of the caparace. Coloration: Body semi-translucent, with brownish to orange chromatophores which are irregularyly and sparsely distributed on carapace and arranged in narrow transverse bands on the abdomen. Telson and uropods with bluish pigmentation towards distal end; antennal and antennular flagella and pereiopods pale bluish; eyes reddish to pink; eggs brownish (Ref. 129123).
Found in intertidal mangrove flat, in mud burrows, near the roots of the red mangrove tree, Rhizophora mangle. Also found in burrows of the ucidid crab Ucides cordatus and burrows of Alpheus pontederiae. Salinities recorded at the collection site were 21 and 24 (Ref. 129123).
