TABLE 3. Comparative measurements between Dromia gouveai Melo & Campos Junior, 1999 and Dromia erythropus (Edwards in Catesby, 1771). cl, carapace maximum length. cw, carapace maximum width. d3–4, distance from the third anterolateral tooth of the carapace (exorbital tooth included) to the fourth tooth (right side teeth/left side teeth) on the right and left sides of the carapace, respectively. d3–2, distance from the third anterolateral tooth to the second tooth on the right and left sides of the carapace, respectively. P5 m, maximum length of right P5 merus (measured along dorsal margin). P5 p+c, maximum length of right P5 propodus and carpus together (measured along dorsal margin). Ur/6Plw, ratio uropod width/sixth pleonal somite width (measured across the suture between pleonal somite 6 and telson, uropod excluded). Measurements given in millimeters.
