Thoe Bell, 1836 is a type of amphiamerican small spider crab with cryptic habits, which has rare records in the literature and carcinological collections. The taxonomy of the known species in the genus has been revised, and a phylogenetic reconstruction based on mitochondrial markers supports the monophyletic status of Thoe and suggests a radiation of the genus from the western Atlantic to the eastern Pacific.
Thoe Bell, 1836 is amphi-American in distribution and includes small spider crabs with cryptic habits and rare records in the literature and carcinological collections. The taxonomy of the three recent and two fossil species currently known in the genus has been revised. A phylogenetic reconstruction conducted here based on the mitochondrial markers COI and 16S rRNA supports the monophyletic status of Thoe. The resulting phylogeny suggests a western Atlantic to eastern Pacific radiation of the genus.
