thermosbaenacean crustacean from the Jameos del Agua marine lava cave, Lanzarote, Canary
Islands. Stygologia 2:84-89.
Halosbaena
fortunata, the first marine thermosbaenacean, is reported from the
Jameos del Agua marine lava cave, Lanzarote, Canary Islands. It is compared
with its only congener, Halosbaena acanthura, from Curacao, West
Indies, and the Tethyan origin of the genus is discussed.
