First georeferenced record of Spinolambrus macrochelos (Herbst, 1790) (Arthropoda, Parthenopidae) from the type locality (Genoa, Italy), with reference to the neotype designation

<i>Spinolambrus macrochelos</i> (Herbst, 1790) is a Mediterranean parthenopid crab whose original type material has been lost. A male specimen from Genoa (Italy) was designated as neotype by Tan & Low (2014), establishing the species' type locality. Despite this taxonomic clarification, no georeferenced records from the type locality are currently available in global biodiversity aggregators (GBIF, OBIS). We report a new occurrence of <i>S. macrochelos</i> from the same area as the neotype, providing morphological documentation, georeferenced metadata and openly available occurrence data. This constitutes the first publicly accessible record for the species from its type locality.

Abstract

<i>Spinolambrus macrochelos</i> (Herbst, 1790) is a Mediterranean parthenopid crab whose original type material has been lost. A male specimen from Genoa (Italy) was designated as neotype by Tan & Low (2014), establishing the species' type locality. Despite this taxonomic clarification, no georeferenced records from the type locality are currently available in global biodiversity aggregators (GBIF, OBIS). We report a new occurrence of <i>S. macrochelos</i> from the same area as the neotype, providing morphological documentation, georeferenced metadata and openly available occurrence data. This constitutes the first publicly accessible record for the species from its type locality.
