Long time no see - 117 years after its first and only record Praebebalia extensiva Rathbun 1911 (Decapoda, Leucosiidae) was collected from Saya de Malha
Bella Galil
Abstract
The leucosiid crab Praebebalia extensiva Rathbun 1911 was formerly known from six specimens collected off Saya de Malha, Providence Island and Seychelles by the Sealark Expedition in 1905. More than a century later the Monaco Expedition in the Indian Ocean recovered 17 additional specimens. The species is redescribed and a colour photo provided.
