Arhodeoporus arenarius Newell, 1947

Records associated with decapod crustaceans – This species was found associated with spider crab Libinia emarginata (Arthropoda, Crustacea, Malacostraca, Decapoda ) from Rhode Island, USA ( Bartsch 1979a).

Other records – This species was reported from intertidal and subtidal sediments from North America: Woods Hole, Massachussetts, New Haven County, Connecticut, Beaufort , North Carolina ( Newell 1947) .

Remarks – Newell (1947) commented that this is a subtidal form, appears consistently and often in appreciable numbers in the intertidal, especially in the low tide zone and it can be considered a truly arenicolous species rather than a psammoxene form.
