Remarks

Anoplodactylus justi has not been found since original description and is known from only one male specimen from Barbados. According to Müller (1992a), the best criterion for identification of A. justi relies on the shape and position of the cement gland tubes, but these are only present in males. Other characters correspond to Müller’s description.

Distribution

West Indies. Apart from the present record, known only from the type locality in Barbados.

Depth range

Anoplodactylus justi is known to live at a depth of 54 m. The present collection was made at 70 m.
