Two new genera, Manningis and Leptochryseus (Decapoda: Camptandriinae), and descriptions of the first zoea of six brachyurans from the Arabian Gulf

Journal of Crustacean Biology, 16(4):797-813.

New generic diagnoses are given for Paracleistostoma arabicum and Cleistostoma kuwaitense, crabs from the Arabian Gulf belonging to the Camptandriinae. A modified key based on Manning and Holthuis (1981) is constructed to separate these new genera from other members of the subfamily. In addition, descriptions are provided for the first zoeal stage of 6 intertidal brachyurans from Qatar.
