''Anatolikos'' is a genus of two species of crabs in the family Cancridae. They are recorded from Japan〔Schweitzer, C. E. and R. M. Feldmann. (2000). (Re-evaluation of the Cancridae Latreille, 1802 (Decapoda: Brachyura) including three new genera and three new species. ) ''Contributions to Zoology'' 69(4), 223-50.〕 and Taiwan.〔Tavares, M. and R. Cleva. (2010). (Trichopeltariidae (Crustacea, Decapoda, Brachyura), a new family and superfamily of eubrachyuran crabs with description of one new genus and five new species. ) ''Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia (São Paulo)'' 50(9), 97-157.〕 Two fossil species are known, one from Japan〔 and one from Mexico.〔Schweitzer, C. E., et al. (2006). (New Decapoda (Anomura, Brachyura) from the Eocene Bateque and Tepetate Formations, Baja California Sur, México. ) ''Bulletin of the Mizunami Fossil Museum'' 33(2006), 1-14.〕 These crabs were classified in the genus ''Cancer'' until 2000, when it was split into several new genera.〔 ''Anatolikos'' species have a carapace that is wider than long and granular in texture. It is edged with several spines separated by fissures. Five of the spines coalesce to form a front that extends past the eyes, a character unique to the genus. The orbital rims are thickened; the genus ''Anisospinos'' has a similar feature, but can be distinguished by its sharp, curving spines.〔 The genus name is from the Greek ''anatolikos'' ("eastern"), a reference to its range in Japan.〔 Species include: *Extant * *''Anatolikos japonicus'' * *''Anatolikos tumifrons'' *Fossil * *''Anatolikos itoigawai'' * *''Anatolikos undecimspinosus''〔 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anatolikos」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
