| Description |
This genus is distributed in the Atlantic, American Pacific and Indo-West Pacific. The American species of Metapenaeopsis were investigated by Burkenroad (1934) who redefined the taxon and reduced it to a subgenus of the genus Penaeopsis. Isabel Perez Farfante (1971) treated Metapenaeopsis as a separate genus rather than as a subgenus of Penaeopsis following Kubo (1949) who concluded that these shrimps possess a number of characters of generic rank. The asymmetrical petasma is unique and undoubtedly the most outstanding generic character. |
