Image of Krygier spiny-tailed shrimp

Description:

The three characteristic carinae which run nearly to the posterior end of the carapace can be seen in this side view. Dorsally there is a carina which runs from the rostrum (left) to near the posterior end of the carapace on the right. A small, sinuous carina runs from near the eye along the mid-side of the carapace. In this photo a number of bubbles are adhered to it. A sharp carina lines the ventral margin of the carapace. In this preserved specimen the ventral carina has retained much of its red color while the rest of the carapace has faded to yellow.
