Key to species View in CoL
Redefinition of the generic boundaries in the Arenopontiidae ( Sak et al. 2008) View in CoL and addition of new species have outdated the keys by Lang (1965), Bodiou & Colomines (1986), Karanovic (2000) and Wells (2007). Neoleptastacus accraensis View in CoL and N. secundus View in CoL (both species inquirendae) are included in Table 2 View TABLE 2 but not in the updated key below. Identifications made with this key must be confirmed by reference to the original descriptions in the literature.
