GENUS GERYON KRØYER, 1837 View in CoL
Remarks: MacDonald et al. (1989: 241) mentioned crabs that they attributed to this genus from still photographs and video footage taken of ‘common slope fauna’ in the vicinity of a hydrocarbon seep (Bush Hill site) off Louisiana in the northern Gulf of Mexico. We are not aware of any other mention of the genus in connection with vents or seeps. P. Chevaldonné (pers. comm.) informs us that this might be the same species reported by MacAvoy et al. (2002) as Chaceon quinquedens . Geryon is a common deep-sea crab genus, and it is often confused with Chaceon and other geryonid genera.
