Phoxichilidium [Phoxichilidium]

Description

Phoxichilidium represents a genus of sea spiders that are relatively small in size, with a slender body and long, thin legs. The genus is characterized by the presence of a reduced abdomen and specialized feeding appendages, which allow them to extract nutrients from cnidarians and other soft-bodied invertebrates. These sea spiders are found in various marine habitats around the world, from the intertidal zone to deeper waters. They are of interest for studies on the diversity and adaptability of marine arthropods.
