Petrolisthes lindae Gore & Abele, 1974 View in CoL

Petrolisthes lindae Gore & Abele 1974: 564 View in CoL , figs. 2, 3D, G; Gore 1982: 16; Abele & Kim 1989: 21.

Material examined. None.

Previous records from Panama. Gore & Abele (1974, 1976); Gore (1982); Abele & Kim (1989).

Distribution. East Pacific: Panama ( Panama Canal area, Ciudad de Panamá) ( Gore 1982).

Ecology. Largely intertidal; within or on the fringe of red mangrove swamps, apparently able to tolerate very low salinities ( Gore & Abele 1974).

Remarks. Petrolisthes lindae is largely sympatric with the closely related P. armatus , P. nobilii Haig, 1960 (see below) and P. robsonae Glassell, 1945 (see below). However, P. lindae has just one tooth and a lobe on the P1 carpus (vs. two or three teeth, as in the other species); the epibranchial tooth is either vestigial or absent (vs. distinct in the other species); and the granulation of the carapace slightly from each of the other three species ( Gore & Abele 1974, 1976). The closeness of P. lindae to these three species led Gore & Abele (1974, 1976) question whether a hybridisation between two of the above species may have occurred in the past, resulting in P. lindae . Adults of P. lindae and P. robsonae , as well as juveniles of P. lindae , P. armatus and P. robsonae , are particularly difficult to tell apart ( Abele & Kim 1989).
