Title

Redescription of Paguristes aztatlanensis Glassell, 1937 and description of a new species of the genus Paguristes Dana, 1851 (Anomura, Paguroidea, Diogenidae) from western Mexico

Abstract

A redescription of Paguristes aztatlanensis Glassell, 1937 is presented together with the description of Paguristes turkayi n. sp. from the Mexican Pacific. Paguristes turkayi n. sp. is close to P. digueti and P. sanguinimanus, but can be separated from these two species by the following: P. turkayi features a slender rostrum; the ocular peduncles are proportionally larger relative to the shield in P. turkayi n. sp. than in P. digueti, but proportionally shorter than in P. sanguinimanus; the anterodorsal plates of the carapace are unarmed in Paguristes turkayi n. sp. and P. sanguinimanus (versus armed with small teeth in P. digueti); in P. turkayi n. sp., the palm and carpus of the chelipeds bear fewer but larger spines and tufts of very long setae, while in P. digueti and P. sanguinimanus the chelipeds are armed with many small spines and very short setae.
