Remarks: The genus Wingstrandarctus contains five known species ( Jørgensen et al. 2014 ) that have alae without caesti. Unlike W. unsculptus Jørgensen, Boesgaard, Møebjerg & Kristensen, 2014 , the Bahamian specimens do have a sculptured cuticle. Unlike W. stinae Jørgensen, Boesgaard, Møbjerg & Kristensen, 2014 , they do not have constricted primary clavae, and the shape of the alae differs as well. The caudal alae of our specimens are much smaller than those of W. intermedius Renaud-Mornant, 1967 , and the internal claws have accessory points unlike W. crypticus Renaud-Mornant, 1989 . The Bahamian specimens do match W. corallinus in all traits. Wingstrandarctus corallinus is an intertidal and shallow subtidal species. The type locality is Australia , but it has been recorded in the Western Atlantic in Florida , USA (Kristensen 1984) and many other areas (Kaczmarek et al. 2015, Bartels et al . 2015b ).
