Carapace weakly convex, ovoid to weakly subhexagonal in outline, length about 0.75 greatest width (including anterolateral teeth), fronto-orbital width about 0.6 carapace width; front with single margin, not bimarginate, with distinct median V-shaped notch, lateral corner forming lobiform tooth; dorsal regions weakly defined, sparsely setose, transverse rows of granules marking most raised surfaces; five anterolateral teeth, angular first and lobiform second teeth distinctly separated by shallow sinus, fifth tooth small but distinct, acute to subacute; lower posterolateral margin and posteroventral branchiostegite with cover of elongate, feathery, plumose setae. Third maxilliped merus distal margin sinuous, produced mesially to form distinctly raised prominence near articulation with carpus. Cheliped merus without enlarged marginal teeth or spines; carpus superior and lateral surfaces covered by rounded to subacute granules, some forming rows or surmounting elevations, supero-external surface with distinctly depressed distal groove parallel to distal margin, groove proximally bordered by two tuberculiform elevations and less prominent granular ridges of supero-external surface, carpus with proximal internal angle low, rounded, distal angle forming blunt, distally directed tooth. Major chela propodus mostly smooth, superior longitudinal crest bordered by broadly depressed supero-external furrow and weak internal furrow defined by longitudinal row of slight depressions in fine granulation, upper external surface of palm with few rows of granules arranged in short diagonal to vertical lines below supero-external furrow. Ambulatory pereopods 24 relatively short, merus length about 0.5 carapace length; all ambulatory pereopods with merus superior margin lined by conspicuous elongate plumose setae; propodus superior margin with cover of short plumose setae forming dense pubescence, most developed on posteriormost pereopods, dactylar-propodal locking mechanism not developed; dactyl inferior margin lacking subterminal, prehensile tooth, inferior and superior margins densely covered by short plumose setae forming broad tract of thick pubescence, setal cover of dactylus least in pereopod 2, most in pereopod 5. Male thoracic sternum length from apex to suture between fourth and fifth sternites (measured at edge of pleon) 0.700.74 times greatest width of fourth sternite (including episternites), eighth sternite exposed only as narrow gap between lateral margin of flexed second pleonite and condyle of fifth pereopod coxa. Pleon of male with third through fifth somites fused, telson subtriangularly rounded, widest in proximal third. Male first gonopod tip obscurely trifid, trunk distal half with longitudinal row of very heavy, broad, subacute teeth on sternomesial side, row ending short of acute distal process forming bladelike subterminal tooth. Male second gonopod less than one-third length of first gonopod. Female gonopore (including opening and surrounding lips or vulva) centered on anterior half of sixth sternite, opening broadly crescentic. Applicable GenBank sequence accession numbers from

The species name is assigned in recognition of Frank M. Truesdale for his many contributions to crustacean biology through his personal research and training of students, but also in gratitude for many years of supportive assistance and collaborations with DLF and his students. In addition to his renowned compilations on the history of carcinological research, his special expertise in the rearing of decapod larvae has contributed substantially to understanding of decapod crustacean life histories, including those of panopeid crabs.

) it may seem remarkable that this species has gone unreported to date, which thus suggests it could possibly represent a recent introduction. While we cannot exclude this possibility, the species has clearly been established in south Texas for over four decades, and has over that time period remained a minor but persistent component of the assemblage of small brachyurans that populates fouled shoreline hard substrates of anthropogenic origin. More probable than an introduction, we suspect the species colonized south Texas rock jetties that were maintained over the last century to buttress margins of inlets along what are otherwise uninterrupted sandy beaches that line almost all of the Texas shoreline.As the species also occurs further to the south on natural rocky ledges at Playa de la Mancha,
