The Collection of Decapod and Stomatopod Crustaceans from the Cádiz Oceanographic Centre (CCDE-IEOCD) comprises a number of lithodid crabs from Spanish surveys carried out in African waters. The revision of this material allowed the confirmation of new records of Lithodesferox Filhol, 1885 in Guinea-Bissau and Mauritania, Lithodes mamillifer Macpherson, 1988 in Mozambique, Neolithodes asperrimus Barnard, 1947, Neolithodes grimaldii (A. Milne Edwards & Bouvier, 1894) and Paralomis erinacea Macpherson, 1988 in Mauritania, Paralomis africana Macpherson, 1982 in Namibia and Paralomis cristulata Macpherson, 1988 in Guinea-Bissau. Some of these records contribute to extent the geographical and/or bathymetrical range of the species. One new species of the genus Paralomis from Namibia is described and illustrated. This species shows close affinity with its congener Paralomis pectinata Macpherson, 1988, from Venezuela. The morphological differences between the two species are included.
加的斯海洋学中心(CCDE - IEOCD)的十足目和口足目甲壳动物标本集包含一些在非洲海域进行的西班牙调查中采集的石蟹。对这些标本的整理确认了1885年的费氏石蟹(Lithodes ferox Filhol)在几内亚比绍和毛里塔尼亚的新记录、1988年的乳头石蟹(Lithodes mamillifer Macpherson)在莫桑比克的新记录、1947年的粗糙新石蟹(Neolithodes asperrimus Barnard)、1988年的格里马尔迪新石蟹(Neolithodes grimaldii (A. Milne Edwards & Bouvier, 1894))和棘刺拟石蟹(Paralomis erinacea Macpherson)在毛里塔尼亚的新记录、1982年的非洲拟石蟹(Paralomis africana Macpherson)在纳米比亚的新记录以及1988年的小嵴拟石蟹(Paralomis cristulata Macpherson)在几内亚比绍的新记录。其中一些记录扩展了这些物种的地理分布范围和/或水深分布范围。描述并图示了一种来自纳米比亚的拟石蟹属新物种。该物种与其同属的来自委内瑞拉的1988年的栉状拟石蟹(Paralomis pectinata Macpherson)亲缘关系密切。文中还列出了这两个物种之间的形态差异。
