- Abstract
A late-stage phyllosoma larva of the genus Panulirus was caught in the central Atlantic in October 2000. Nucleotide sequence analysis of mitochondrial 16S rDNA identified this larva as Panulirus echinatus, which has been undescribed to date. Morphological examination indicated that this eighth stage larva belonged to phyllosoma species group 2, distinguishable from the other Atlantic species of the genus but closely related to an Indo-Pacific species, P. penicillatus, which is in accordance with the results of a molecular phylogenetic analysis.
