Remarks.
Specimens of
Williamstimpsonia denticulatus
were collected by hand at low tide in nearshore rubble, under rubble rock and caught in crab traps placed on rocky bottom (~
4m
deep) on the west and south coasts of
Barbados
. Ovigerous females were collected in
August 2019
,
November 2019
, and
June 2021
.
Williamstimpsonia denticulatus
is very abundant in
Barbados
in both nearshore rubble and nearshore subtidal habitats. Previously reported for
Barbados
as
Cycloxanthops denticulatus
by
Rathbun (1921: 69)
on specimens (
one juvenile
, USNM 76271;
one male
, USNM 76255;
one male
,
one female
, USNM 69030;
one juvenile
, USNM 57994) collected by the Barbados-Antigua Expedition in 1918.
