Genus of crustaceans From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Neogonodactylus is a genus of mantis shrimp. The genus was first described in 1995 by Raymond Manning.[1][2] Neogonodactylus species are well known for having sophisticated visual systems that allow them to detect UV light; this ability is essential to their communication and foraging strategies in their dynamic coral reef environments. (Ultraviolet vision in Larval Neogonodactylus oerstedii, n.d.).[3]
