Previous records from
Panama
.
Nobili (1901)
; Haig (1957, 1960, 1968);
Gore (1982)
.
Distribution
. East Pacific:
El Salvador
,
Costa Rica
,
Panama
(Bahía Honda in
Veraguas
,
Isla
Venao, Amador Causeway near Ciudad de Panamá, Las Perlas Is.),
Colombia
and
Ecuador
(Haig 1957, 1960, 1968;
Gore 1982
; present study).
Ecology
. Largely intertidal, possible depth range:
0–2 m
; under rocks and in rock crevices (
Haig 1960
,
1968
;
Gore 1982
; present study).
Remarks
.
Petrolisthes holotrichus
appears to be uncommon in
Panama
and was known, prior to Haig’s (1957, 1960) records, only from the
type
material of
Nobili (1901)
. The species is easily recognisable by its squarish format and “fuzzy” appearance, due to the densely pilose carapace and P1–4 (
Fig. 58
).
