Remarks
.
Typton carneus
appears to be most closely related to another western Atlantic species,
T. distinctus
Chace, 1972
(
Figure 17
). The latter species is known from two other Brazilian states, Pernambuco and Rio de Janeiro (
Pachelle
et al.
2015
), but has not yet been found in Ceará. The distinguishing characters between the two species involve the shape of the rostrum and second pereiopod carpus, as well as the orientation of the
major
cheliped dactylus (
Chace 1972
;
Pachelle
et al.
2015
). These differences, discussed in
Pachelle
et al.
(2015)
, are illustrated in
Fig. 16
(
T. carneus
) and
Fig. 17
(
T. distinctus
) to enable an easier identification of the Brazilian material.
