About this species
Pentapycnon geayi is a species of sea spider (class Pycnogonida) in the family Pycnogonidae. As the genus name Pentapycnon suggests, the sea spider P. geayi is among the seven species of sea spiders with five pairs of legs in adults rather than the usual four leg pairs. The species P. geayi is found in the Caribbean Sea, the tropical Atlantic Ocean, and the Mediterranean Sea. This species is one of only two species of polymerous (i.e., extra-legged) sea spiders found outside the Southern Ocean.
