Description

Laleonectes vocans (A. Milne-Edwards, 1878)

(Fig. 17C)

Neptunus vocans A. Milne-Edwards, 1878: 225 [type-locality: Cape Verde Islands; type in MNHN]; Monod 1956: 194, figs. 222, 223.

Portunus (Portunus) vocans. — Rathbun, 1930: 60, pl. 25, figs. 8, 9; Collins & Morris 1976: 124; Manning & Holthuis 1981: 107; Abele & Kim: 1986: 54.

Laleonectes vocans. — Manning & Chace 1990: 50, figs. 32, 33; Melo 1996: 322, unnumbered fig.; Coelho et al. 2008: 29; Ng et al. 2008: 151; Mantelatto et al. 2009: 557, tab. 1; Araújo & Wirtz 2015: 214; Poupin & Corbari 2016: 87; Tavares & Mendonça 2022: 54.

Distribution. Laleonectes vocans is an Amphi-Atlantic species. Western Atlantic: Mexico, Cuba, Jamaica, Guadeloupe, Barbados, Venezuela, Brazil, Trinidade; Eastern Atlantic: Madeira, Cape Verde Islands, Saint Thomas, and Annobon. Central Atlantic; Ascension Islands (Manning & Chace 1990; Poupin 2018; Tavares & Mendonça 2022).

Material examined. Barbados, Schooner Bay, St. Peter, subtidal, 13°14’40.82”N, 59°38’41.97”W, 1 Ô CW: 20.0 mm (MZUSP 40913).

Remarks. The single specimen of Laleonectes vocans was caught in crab traps placed on sandy bottoms (~ 4m deep) on the west coast of Barbados. Laleonectes vocans is very rare in Barbados and only one specimen was collected during this study. It was first reported as Portunus (Portunus) vocans by Collins & Morris (1976: 124) who collected a right chela fossil of Laleonectes vocans from Pleistocene coral rock at Highgate, St. Michael, Barbados.

Genus Portunus Weber, 1795
