Stridentes

Spotted spiny lobster Panulirus guttatus, copyright Jarek Tuszynski.

Belongs within: Achelata.

The Stridentes are a clade of spiny lobsters possessing a stridulatory organ at the base of the antenna. During reproduction, males spread a hardened or gelatinous speramtophoric mass across the posterior sternal segments of the female, from which sperm are released by actions of the latter (George 2005a, b).
