Previous records from
Panama
.
Hiller & Werding (2007)
.
Distribution
. East Pacific:
Mexico
,
Costa Rica
,
Panama
(Coiba Is., Secas Is., Punta Mala,
Ciudad de Panamá
, Taboga Is., Las Perlas Is., Bahía Piña in
Darién
),
Colombia
and
Ecuador
(
Hiller & Werding 2007
; present study).
Ecology
. Intertidal and subtidal, known depth range
0–30 m
; on rocky and mixed rock-rubble-sand bottoms, typically under large rocks or in crevices of coral rubble and dead corals, sometimes among sponges or under sea urchins (
Hiller & Werding 2007
; present study).
Remarks
. According to
Hiller & Werding (2007)
, the main morphological differences between
P. donadio
and the closely related
P. edwardsii
are: (1) the presence of a supraocular spine (absent in
P. edwardsii
); (2) the distomesial margin of the basal antennular article armed with prominent sharp teeth (
vs.
with much smaller teeth, further diminishing in size distomesially, in
P. edwardsii
); (3) the lateral margin of the P1 propodus less convex; (4) the P1 somewhat slenderer than in
P. edwardsii
; and (5) the P2–P4 propodi significantly longer than in
P. edwardsii
. Additionally, the two species differ by their colour patterns, especially by the colouration of the dorsal surface of the P2–P4 propodi, which are pink to red-orange bordered by two bluish bands in
P. donadio
(
Fig. 42A
)
vs
. banded or mottled with dark violet-purple in
P. edwardsii
(
Figs. 43A
,
44A
). Additional colour pattern differences can be observed in the colouration of the antennular peduncle and distal articles of Mxp3 (
Fig. 45
).
Remarkably, the P2–P4 propodi of the specimens reported and illustrated by García-Madrigal & Andréu- Sánchez (2009: fig. 5B, C) under the name
P. sanfelipensis
Glassell, 1936
have the characteristic colour pattern (“blue-red-blue socks”) of
P. donadio
.
Glassell (1936)
described the colour of
P. sanfelipensis
as “a faint pinkish tint, … when freshly preserved in alcohol is beautifully colored with rich reds and purple”, which hardly matches the colour pattern of the specimens of
García-Madrigal & Andréu-Sánchez (2009)
, which also differ from
P. donadio
in displaying a row of three conspicuous white spots along the dorsal side of the cutting edge of the P1 pollex. Both of these colour characteristics are present in the specimens recently collected in
Nayarit
,
Mexico
, which are currently being studied by the authors.
