.
Distribution
. East Pacific:
Panama
(Río Mar, Las Perlas Is.) (
Ferreira
et al.
2020
).
Ecology
. Intertidal and shallow subtidal, known depth range:
0–1.5 m
; under large rocks on sand-rock bottoms (
Ferreira
et al
. 2020
).
Remarks
.
Petrolisthes lazarus
is a recently described species, presently known only from two localities on the Pacific coast of
Panama
(
Ferreira
et al.
2020
). It seems to be most closely related to
P. crenulatus
Lockington, 1878
, which is distributed further north in the tropical eastern Pacific, from the Gulf of California to
Oaxaca
,
Mexico
, but can be easily distinguished by the presence of a dense field of setae on the outer (lateral) surface of the P1 palm (
Fig. 60
).
