Acanthosquilla derijardi is a species of stomatopod crustacean. Its distribution is widespread throughout the Indo-West Pacific. The species was initially described by the American carcinologist Raymond B. Manning in 1970. Its junior synonym, A. sirindhorn, was named in 1995 in honor of Princess Sirindhorn of Thailand.

Taxonomic history

The American carcinologist Raymond B. Manning first named and described A. derijardi in 1970.^[5] Manning named the specific epithet after Raoul R. Derijard, who had assembled the collection of specimens while he was working at the Station Marine de Tuléar. The three paratypes were deposited in the United States National Museum.^[1] Manning's species description also reclassified a specimen from British North Borneo as being A. derijardi;^[1] Michael Tweedie illustrated this specimen in 1949, initially identifying it as Lysiosquilla multifasciata .^[6]

The junior synonym A. sirindhorn was named by Phaibul Naiyanetr in 1995 based on specimens from southern Thailand; its specific epithet honors Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn of Thailand due to her interest in the natural history of Thailand and because she wrote a children's book^{[lower-alpha 1]} where a mantis shrimp similar to the described species plays an important role.^[4] The type specimen was deposited in the Nationaal Natuurhistorisch Museum in Leiden.^[7]^[4] The Australian carcinologist Shane T. Ahyong synonymized A. sirindhorn with A. derijardi in 2001.^[3]

In 1995, Manning suggested A. multispinosa and A. manningi could be junior synonyms of A. derijardi writing he could "find no characters to separate" them; he included them in his synonymy list prefixed with a question mark.^[8] The Indonesian marine biologist Mohammad Kassim Moosa also listed these two species as question mark–tagged synonyms in a 2000 checklist.^[9] In 2001, Ahyong included these two as well as A. sirindhorn as junior synonyms of A. derijardi without using any question mark.^[3] However, subsequent research has conformed the taxonomic validity of both A. manningi and A. multispinosa as distinct species.^[10]^[11]^[12] Ahyong later included some specimens he had previously identified as A. derijardi as in fact belonging to a new, separate species: A. melissae .^[11]

Distribution

A. derijardi is found throughout the Indo-West Pacific:^[13] its range extends from Madagascar and the Red Sea to Australia, New Caledonia and Taiwan.^[14] The type locality for A. derijardi is Grand Récif of Toliara, in southwestern Madagascar; the three other specimens in the type series came from Tinakta Island, Tawi-Tawi Group, Sulu Archipelago, in the southwestern Philippines.^[1] The type locality for the junior synonym A. sirindhorn was a fishing harbor near Pattani in southern Thailand.^[4]

The Dutch carcinologist Lipke Holthuis recorded a specimen of A. derijardi collected from the Gulf of Eilat at the northern tip of the Red Sea in 1975 marking one of the extremes of the species's range.^[15] Ayhong has documented this species on Big Sister's Island in Singapore,^[14] and Tweedie's misidentified specimen was from Sandakan, now in Malaysia.^[6] Within Indonesia, Moosa has also noted specimens in Jakarta Bay ^[16] on Kai Dulah Island, Kai Islands, Maluku Islands,^[17] and in the Java Sea.^[18] It has also been found in Taiwan, specifically Donggang fishing port in Pingtung County.^[12] Ayhong also included A. derijardi in a checklist of Japanese stomatopods.^[19]

Specimens have also been found in New Caledonia.^[20]^[13] and the Chesterfield Islands.^[21] The United States National Museum has a specimen from Jokaj Island, Pohnpei, in the Caroline Islands; which Holthuis identifies as being A. derijardi.^[15] Ahyong has also recorded specimens from Little Trunk Reef, off Queensland, Australia.^[3]^[11] A specimen tentatively identified as A. derijardi was collected in the Seychelles.^[22]

They are found in the intertidal zone up to a depth of 35 metres (115 ft).^[14]^[16]

Description

The telson's dorsal row of spines has one median spine, three submedian spines, and six lateral spines.^[14] The dactylus of the raptorial claw has a large distal lobe on the outer proximal margin, which can extend distally to the fifth occlusal tooth. The rostral plate consists of a long proximal trapezoidal section and a rostral spine whose length is less than a quarter of the total rostral length.^[11] Males can have a total length of 66 mm (2.6 in); females can have a total length of 31 mm (1.2 in).^[20] Their body is light in color but dark bands span across it transversely. The telson and uropod both have dark, diffuse colloration; the distal segment on the uropodal exopod is dark on its inner half.^[12]

Mantis shrimp are carnivorous marine crustaceans of the order Stomatopoda. Stomatopods branched off from other members of the class Malacostraca around 340 million years ago. Mantis shrimp typically grow to around 10 cm (3.9 in) in length, while a few can reach up to 38 cm (15 in). A mantis shrimp's carapace covers only the rear part of the head and the first four segments of the thorax. Varieties range in colour from shades of brown to vivid colours, with more than 520 species of mantis shrimp known. They are among the most important predators in many shallow, tropical and subtropical marine habitats. However, despite being common, they are poorly understood, as many species spend most of their lives sheltering in burrows and holes.

The Lysiosquillidae or banded mantis shrimps are a family of mantis shrimp, comprising some of the largest known mantis shrimp species. The most common and best known species is Lysiosquillina maculata, the zebra mantis shrimp.

Squillidae is a family of mantis shrimp, the only family in the superfamily Squilloidea. The type genus is Squilla. It is the stomatopod family with the most genera, as follows:

Eurysquillidae is a family of mantis shrimp. Formerly placed in the superfamily Gonodactyloidea, it has since been recognised that eurysquillids are closer to families in the Squilloidea, and so Eurysquillidae has been placed in its own superfamily, Eurysquilloidea. The family was first described in 1977 by Raymond Manning.

Platysquilla eusebia is a species of mantis shrimp in the family Nannosquillidae, from the Mediterranean Sea and north-eastern Atlantic Ocean. It is a spearer, and grows up to 7 cm (2.8 in) long.

Aeschronectida is an extinct order of mantis shrimp-like crustaceans which lived in the Mississippian subperiod in what is now Montana. They exclusively lived in the Carboniferous, or the age of amphibians. They have been found mostly in the U.S. and in the British Isles, in 1979 species were found in the Madera Formation in New Mexico. Aeschronectida was first identified appearing in Continental Europe in around 2014. While sharing similar characteristics to Stomatopoda, they lack certain physical characteristics of that taxon. The first species of Aeschronectida is accredited to Frederick R. Schram. They diverge substantially from typical hoplocaridan morphology by having more unmodified thoracopods. It's theorized that these thoracopods evolved to become more specialized, making them potential ancestors to Stomatopoda.

<i>Tyrannophontes</i> Extinct genus of mantis shrimp

Tyrannophontes is an extinct genus of mantis shrimp that lived during the late Carboniferous period in what is now the Mazon Creek fossil beds of Illinois. It is the only genus in the family Tyrannophontidae. The type species, T. theridion, was described in 1969 by Frederick Schram. A second, much larger species, T. gigantion, was also named by Schram in 2007. Two other species were formerly assigned to the genus, but have since been reclassified.

Daidal is an extinct genus of mantis shrimp that lived during the Carboniferous period. It is the only genus in the family Daidalidae. Three species are currently placed within the genus. Fossils of the type species, D. acanthocercus, have been found in the Bear Gulch Limestone of Montana. A second species, D. pattoni, is known from the Lower Limestone Formation of Scotland, and the third species, D. schoellmanni, was discovered in Westphalia, Germany. The genus has been proposed to be polyphyletic, with D. pattoni possibly being an earlier diverging lineage, though more specimens and research are needed to confirm this.

Gorgonophontes is an extinct genus of mantis shrimp that lived during the late Carboniferous period in what is now the United States and Belgium. It contains two named species. The type species, G. peleron, was described in 1984 by Frederick Schram based on 100 specimens found in Nebraska and Iowa. A second species, G. fraiponti, was first named from multiple specimens found near Liège in 1922 and later reassigned to the genus.

Ursquilla is an extinct genus of mantis shrimp that lived in Israel and Jordan during the Campanian stage of the Late Cretaceous period. It contains a single species, Ursquilla yehoachi.
