Mayotte data
Banareia parvula (Krauss, 1843)
Material Examined — Mayotte KUW 2009, st. 6, Déversoir Badamiers, Petite Terre, intertidal, 1 M 9.2 x 12.3 mm, MNHN-IU-2009-2678, det. September 2011, photos labo.
Geographic and depth ranges — IWP, Mayotte (this work), South Africa to Hawaii, French Polynesia, Easter Island; intertidal, subtidal — Remarks - Mayotte specimen as a male pleopod typical of the species of Banareia and is attributed to B. parvula based on dorsal aspect of its carapace as described and figured in Serène (1984: 37, pl. IIIC). In particular region 3M is entire and region 2M is divided. The outer face of its chela is totally granulated which make it distinct from B. armata (present in Mayotte) but with outer face of palm smooth on ventral half.
