Milne-Edwards & Bouvier, 1892, superficially resemble each other in having the upper margin of the right chela smooth, and grooved P3 propodus, but can be easily disguished in that the dorsal margin of the P3 propodus is distinctly angulous in C. tibicen, whereas in C. talismani it is rounded (Poupin 2003). Mandai et al (2018a) considered the differences of color pattern among northeastern and southeastern Brazilian specimens of C. tibicen a case of polymorphism and, without further explanation, suggested that it "might be related to the kind of nutrition as well different ecological and evolutionary predation characteristics." Later on, however, Mandai et al (2018b), based on two mitochondrial markers, found that northwestern Atlantic specimens differed from northeastern and southeastern Brazilian coast specimens, despite the lack of morphological evidences to support each genetic group.…”

Trindade and Martin Vaz (TMV) is a highly isolated, oceanic volcanic archipelago located some 1200 km off the Brazilian coast and about 4200 km away from the nearest African coast. For almost 100 years Calcinus tibicen (Herbst, 1791) was the only hermit crab species known from TMV. From 2012 to 2018, 263 daytime SCUBA diving and intertidal samplings conducted at TMV yielded 1075 paguroid specimens in 10 species, three of which are established herein as new species: Iridopagurus martinvaz sp. nov., Nematopagurus micheleae sp. nov., and Pagurus carmineus sp. nov. Iridopagurus margaritensis García-Gómez, 1983, and Phimochirus leurocarpus McLaughlin, 1981, both only known from the northern hemisphere, are recorded for the first time from the southwestern Atlantic. Opportunity was taken herein to include hitherto unreported or little known specimens from along the Vitória-Trindade Seamount Chain, namely, Dardanus venosus H. Milne Edwards, 1848, Nematopaguroides pusillus Forest & de Saint Laurent, 1968, Pagurus provenzanoi Forest & de Saint Laurent, 1968, and Phimochirus holthuisi (Provenzano, 1961). The lectotype of Pagurus venosus H. Milne Edwards, 1848 is designated as the neotype for the obscure Pagurus arrosor divergens Moreira, 1905, which thus becomes an objective junior synonym of the former. A list of all paguroid species known from the tropical southern-central Atlantic oceanic archipelagoes and islands (Ascension, Cape Verde, Fernando de Noronha, Gulf of Guinea, Rocas Atoll, Saint Helena, Trindade and Martin Vaz) with their gross distribution in the Atlantic Ocean is provided. Investigation on the existence of patterns of geographic distribution for the paguroid fauna of the tropical southern-central Atlantic oceanic islands showed that 70% percent of the paguroids from TMV are western Atlantic in origin and 30% endemic. No amphi-Atlantic paguroid species are known from TMV. Conversely, the affinity of Ascension’s (33%) and Saint Helena’s (50%) paguroids is with the eastern Atlantic; no western Atlantic paguroids have been reported from these two islands so far. Exploration on the existence of trends of correlation between islands area and species richness through the Spearman’s coefficient of correlation showed that the patterns in the number of paguroid species cannot be explained by variation in island area alone (rs = 0.4728; p = 0.28571).

“…Despite the attention that this biological trait has received in some crustaceans (e.g. Bauer 2004, Martin andZimmerman 2007), the available literature addressing colour descriptions on hermit crabs has focused mainly on genera involving very striking species such as Calcinus (Pessani and Tirelli 2006, Malay and Paulay 2010, Mandai et al 2018, Ciliopagurus Lemaitre 2003, Poupin andMalay 2009), Clibanarius (Negri et al 2014), Paguropsis (Lemaitre et al 2018) and Cancellus (Felder and Lemaitre 2020), all of them with a greater number of species in tropical latitudes.…”

“…Although colour patterns do not always reflect genetic differences (Mandai et al 2018), they can reveal an ongoing evolutionary process through which two or more species diverged from a common ancestor, the colour sometimes being the only discernible difference between them (Udekem d'Acoz 1995, Poupin and Malay 2009). An example among the species found in our study area is the case of Clibanarius aequabilis (Dana, 1851), found in the Macaronesian islands and genetically different from Clibanarius erythropus (Latreille, 1818), which is present in waters off the Iberian Peninsula (Almón et al in prep.).…”

The unique colour patterns of the hermit crab species inhabiting the Iberian Peninsula and geographically close areas are studied based on colour patterns observed in live specimens either in the field or live in the laboratory. Live colour patterns are shown to be useful for differentiating species in the Paguroidea from Iberian waters. Colour information has not been frequently documented in previous studies, mainly because of difficulties in accessing live specimens. Up to 51 species are currently recorded within the study area, 45 of which are included in the present work, focusing on the distinctive colour traits for each species that can be observed in the field. A complete key for identifying the species within the study area based on colour patterns is included. This study is the first attempt to put in place this type of tool oriented to field work. Further studies will be required to complete and update this information, especially for species which are scarce or difficult to observe alive.

“…Key literature (Provenzano 1959;McLaughlin & Provenzano 1974;Strasser & Price 1999), and extensive photographic evidence compiled by us document variation in color among individuals otherwise assignable by current definition as P. tortugae. Although these differences have long been observed, they have historically been regarded as ecomorphic variations of the phenotype closely tied to habitat substrate color (McLaughlin & Provenzano 1974), which could indeed apply to some paguroid taxa (Mandai et al 2018).…”

Molecular phylogenetic analysis of the Paguristes tortugae Schmitt, 1933 complex and selected other Paguroidea (Crustacea: Decapoda: Anomura)

Morphological characters, as presently applied to describe members of the Paguristes tortugae Schmitt, 1933 species complex, appear to be of limited value in inferring phylogenetic relationships within the genus, and may have similarly misinformed understanding of relationships between members of this complex and those presently assigned to the related genera Areopaguristes Rahayu & McLaughlin, 2010 and Pseudopaguristes McLaughlin, 2002. Previously undocumented observations of similarities and differences in color patterns among populations additionally suggest genetic divergences within some species, or alternatively seem to support phylogenetic groupings of some species. In the present study, a Maximum Likelihood (ML) phylogenetic analysis was undertaken based on the H3, 12S mtDNA, and 16S mtDNA sequences of 148 individuals, primarily representatives of paguroid species from the western Atlantic. This molecular analysis supported a polyphyletic Diogenidae Ortmann, 1892, although incomplete taxonomic sampling among the genera of Diogenidae limits the utility of this finding for resolving family level relationships. Several hypotheses regarding the evolutionary relationships among hermit crab genera were refuted by the Kishino-Hasegawa (KH). Shimodaira-Hasegawa (SH) and Approximately Unbiased (AU) tree topology tests, among them the hypothesis that Areopaguristes is monophyletic. A lack of support for the monophyly of Areopaguristes calls into question the phylogenetic validity of gill number for the differentiation of Paguristes, Areopaguristes, and Pseudopaguristes. The study was inconclusive with regard to the relationships among these three genera, but previously unknown diversity within both Paguristes and Areopaguristes was demonstrated. Existence of an undescribed species confounded under the name Paguristes tortugae Schmitt, 1933 was supported by genetics, morphology, and coloration. A second undescribed species with remarkable similarity to Areopaguristes hummi Wass, 1955 was discovered based on genetics and coloration.
