King crab King crab King crabs are a taxon of crab-like decapod crustaceans chiefly found in cold seas. Because of their large size and the taste of their meat, many species are widely caught and sold as food, the most common being the red king crab ("Paralithodes camtschaticus"). King crabs are generally thought to be derived from hermit crab-like ancestors, which may explain the asymmetry still found in the adult forms. This ancestry is supported by several anatomical peculiarities which are present only in king crabs and hermit crabs. Although some doubt still exists about this theory, king crabs are the most
Great-billed hermit of eastern Brazil is sometimes considered a separate species: Margaretta's Hermit ("P. margarettae"). Great-billed hermit The great-billed hermit ("Phaethornis malaris") is a species of hummingbird in the family Trochilidae. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest. The taxonomy of this species and the long-tailed hermit is confusing. Most taxa previously consider subspecies of the latter ("insolitus", "moorei", "ochraceiventris", "bolivianus" and "margarettae") are now considered subspecies of the former. A satisfactory taxonomic treatment of the entire "P. longirostris/P. superciliosus/P. malaris" group is still lacking
