Spider crabs (Decapoda: Brachyura: Majoidea) from the colombian Caribbean

Abstract (en):

En Colombia y específicamente en el Caribe colombiano se han hecho algunos trabajos donde se registran especies de Majidos, entre los más completos encontramos el de Vélez (1977) y Lemaitre (1981) sin embargo hay bastante información dispersa. Este artículo por lo tanto pretende recopilar la información de esta superfamilia en el Caribe colombiano a manera de listado de especies teniendo en cuenta la clasificación actual. Con este fin se revisó la literatura disponible al igual que las colecciones del MHNMC y la MHN-ICN, también se tuvo en cuenta información obtenida del material colombiano depositado en otras colecciones. De esta revisión se concluyó que hay 58 especies registradas hasta el momento para el Caribe colombiano distribuidas en las siete familias así: Majidae 1; Inachidae 8; Inachoididae 8; Epialtidae 4; Mithracidae 27; Pisidae 6; Tychidae 4.
