Isaea montaguiMilne-Edwards, 1830 Contents | |
Isaea is a small genus of amphipod crustaceans that live commensally on the mouthparts of other crustaceans.
I. montagui was named in 1830 by Henri Milne-Edwards in honour of George Montagu. [1] It lives on the mouthparts of the spider crab Maja squinado , and is found from the West of Ireland to the Mediterranean Sea. [2]
I. elmhirsti was named in 1909 by Alexander Patience in honour of Richard Elmhirst, who was the director at that time of the University Marine Biological Station at Millport. [3] It lives on the mouthparts of the European lobster, Homarus gammarus, and is found from Ireland to the Bay of Biscay. [2]
Félix Édouard Guérin-Méneville, also known as F. E. Guerin, was a French entomologist.
Anselme Gaëtan Desmarest was a French zoologist and author. He was the son of Nicolas Desmarest and father of Eugène Anselme Sébastien Léon Desmarest. Desmarest was a disciple of Georges Cuvier and Alexandre Brongniart, and in 1815, he succeeded Pierre André Latreille to the professorship of zoology at the École nationale vétérinaire d'Alfort. He was elected to the American Philosophical Society in 1819 and to the Académie Nationale de Médecine in 1820.
Heinrich Balss was a German zoologist, specialising in Crustacea, especially decapods. He was chief conservator at the Zoologische Staatssammlung at the University of Munich, and wrote the sections on decapods and stomatopods in Heinrich Georg Bronn's seminal work Klassen und Ordnungen des Tierreichs.
Amphionides reynaudii is a species of caridean shrimp, whose identity and position in the crustacean system remained enigmatic for a long time. It is a small planktonic crustacean found throughout the world's tropical oceans, which until 2015 was considered the sole representative of the order Amphionidacea, due to unusual morphological features. Molecular data however confirm it as a member of the caridean family Pandalidae, and the confusion of morphology is because only larval phases have so far been studied.
Charles Spence Bate, was a British zoologist and dentist.
Eugène Louis Bouvier was a French entomologist and carcinologist. Bouvier was a professor at the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle.
Camill Heller was a zoologist and anatomist.
Callinectes rathbunae is a species of swimming crab. It occurs in warm coastal waters of Mexico. The species is not used as food, but is kept in laboratories for research. Young crabs can range from 17–64 millimetres (0.67–2.52 in) in size. The specific epithet rathbunae commemorates Mary J. Rathbun.
Stygotantulus is a genus of crustacean with the sole species Stygotantulus stocki. It lives as an ectoparasite on harpacticoid copepods of the families Tisbidae and Canuellidae. It is the smallest arthropod in the world, at a length of less than 0.1 millimetres (0.004 in). The specific name stocki commemorates Jan Hendrik Stock, a Dutch carcinologist. Another contender for the world's smallest arthropod is Tantulacus dieteri, with a total body length of only 85 micrometres (0.0033 in).
Edward John Miers FZS FLS was a British zoologist and curator of the crustacean collection at the Natural History Museum in London. He contributed to the scientific reports from the Challenger expedition of 1872–1876, and described 32 new genera and at least 260 new species and subspecies of decapod crustaceans, along with four genera and 72 new species in other orders.
Crassispira chacei is a species of marine gastropod in the family Pseudomelatomidae.
Biffarius is a genus of ghost shrimp in the family Callianassidae, containing species formerly included in the genus Callianassa. Its members are small and generally live in the intertidal zone. In April 2020, a new species was described from the northeastern Brazilian coast. Biffarius was named in honour of Thomas A. Biffar, and includes the following species:
Periclimenes batei is a species of shrimp found in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. It was first named by L. A. Borradaile in 1888, in commemoration of Charles Spence Bate who wrote the section on shrimp in the reports of the Challenger expedition.
Janua pagenstecheri is a species of marine polychaete. It is widely distributed around the British Isles and across north-western Europe, and has been described as "probably the commonest spirorbid in the world".
Professor Friedrich Kiefer was a German zoologist, specialising in freshwater copepods. For over 60 years, he was "the preeminent morphological taxonomist of continental free-living copepods".
Birulia kishinouyei is a shrimp species in the genus Birulia. Its specific epithet is a tribute to the Japanese fisheries biologist Kamakichi Kishinouye.
Metapenaeopsis kishinouyei is a species of prawn in the genus Metapenaeopsis, the velvet shrimps. The specific epithet is a tribute to the Japanese fisheries biologist Kamakichi Kishinouye.
Forestia is a genus of crabs in the family Xanthidae, containing the following species:
Jonas Axel Boeck was a Norwegian marine biologist.
Lancelot Alexander Borradaile was an English zoologist, noted for his work on crustaceans and his books The Invertebrata and Manual of Elementary Zoology.
