Key to the species of
Sargassocarcinus
Ward, 1936
1. Wing-like lateral expansion of carapace less pronounced, separated by more or less symmetrical concavity, with anterior and posterior teeth subequal in structure (
Fig. 3
A–C). Pararostral teeth elongated, reaching beyond level of distal ends of preorbital lobes (
Fig. 7A
).......................................................................
S. foliatus
Ward, 1936
-. Wing-like lateral expansion of carapace more pronounced, separated by asymmetrical concavity, with anterior lobes wider than posterior one. Pararostral teeth short, not reaching level of distal ends of preorbital lobes........................ 2
2. Concavity of lateral expansion of carapace relatively deep; anterior, posterior lobes of lateral expansion triangular.......................................................................................
