Studies On The Crustacea Of The Turks And Caicos Islands, British West Indies I. Four New Marine Isopod Crustaceans From The Vicinity Of Pine Cay, Brian Kensley, Richard W. Heard
Gulf and Caribbean Research
Four undescribed species of shallow-water marine isopods were recently collected in the vicinity of Pine Cay in the western Caicos Islands. These are described and include the anthurid Licranthura tuberculata, possessing a tuberculate third article of the antenna and a rounded distolateral angle of the uropodal exopod; the anthurid Mesanthura spongicoia, which has a distinctive color pattern, distinctly attenuated body, and 5-7 spines on the third article of the mandibular palp; The paranthurid Califanthura minuta, a tiny (1.6 mm) species having a reduced, triangular uropodal exopod; and the stenetriid asellote Stenetrium caicosensis, which has a pronounced …

Gulf and Caribbean Research
Between April 1987 and April 1990, 45 species of marine isopods were collected from intertidal and subtidal habitats in the vicinity of Pine Cay, Turks and Caicos, British West Indies. Five species, Licranthura tuberculata, Mesanthura spongicola, Califanthura minuta, Stenetrium caicoensis, and Armadilloniscus stepus, are known currently only from the northeastern Turks and Caicos Islands. The Turks and Caicos collections represent considerable range extensions for many of the species collected. Four species, Apanthura cracenta, Mesanthura punctillata, Carpias triton, and Munna petronastes, known previously from the east coast of Central America (Belize), are …

Gulf and Caribbean Research
Armadilloniscus steptus, n. sp., the second species of this genus from the Caribbean Sea, is described and distinguished from the other five species from the New World. The new species, collected from the upper intertidal zone on Pine Cay, Turks and Caicos Islands, differs from A. coronacapitalis, A. ellipticus, A. holmesi, A. lindahli, and A. ninae by the greater degree of tuberculation of the integument, smaller size at maturity, and sexual dimorphism in the structure of the pleon.
