Description

Macrocoeloma nodipes (Desbonne in Desbonne & Schramm, 1867)

(Fig. 8A)

Macrocoeloma nodipes Desbonne in Desbonne & Schramm, 1867: 15, pl. 5, fig. 13 [type-locality: Guadeloupe; type lost]; Abele 1970: 108; Coelho et al. 2008: 21; Ng et al. 2008: 119; Alves et al. 2012: 54; Carmona-Suárez & Poupin 2016: 359, fig. 5F; Poupin 2018: 185, fig. 200.

Macrocoeloma trispinosum nodipes.— Rathbun, 1925: 468; 1937: 87; Wass 1955: 168; Williams 1965: 264; 1984: 328, fig. 264, 275l; Powers 1977: 53; Keith 1985: 256, fig. 4A; Abele & Kim 1986: 46, fig. 517d; Nizinski 2003: 130.

Macrocoeloma trispinosum variety.— Rathbun 1925: 468, pl. 168, fig. 1; 1933: 36; Powers 1977: 53; Abele & Kim 1986: 46, fig. 517c; Williams 1984: 328.

Distribution. Western Atlantic: USA (North Carolina to Florida Keys), Bermuda, Gulf of Mexico, St. Thomas, Antigua, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Barbados, Bonaire, Curaçao, and Brazil (Carmona-Suárez & Poupin 2016; Poupin 2018; present study).

Material examined: Barbados, Carlisle Bay, St. Michael, subtidal, 13°05’07.15”N, 59°36’36.90”W, 1 Ô CW: 29.6 mm (BLSZ 020). Idem, 2 Ô, 1 ♀ CW: 10.5, 10.0, 10.3 mm (MZUSP 40886, 40887).

Remarks. This is the first record of Macrocoeloma nodipes for Barbados. Caught in crab traps on rocky bottom (~ 4m deep) on the south coast of Barbados. Rathbun (1921, 1925) reported two species from the genus Macrocoeloma that were not collected during the present study, these are Macrocoeloma eutheca (Stimpson, 1871) and Macrocoeloma intermedium Rathbun, 1901. Specimens of Macrocoeloma eutheca (one female, USNM 72901; one female, USNM 58010) were collected at depths of 0–126 m (0–70 fathoms). Additionally, one female specimen (USNM 72261) of Macrocoeloma intermedium was collected from Pelican Island at a depth of 36 m (20 fathoms).
