The Lysiosquillidae or banded mantis shrimps are a family of mantis shrimp, comprising some of the largest known mantis shrimp species.[1][2] The most common and best known species is Lysiosquillina maculata, the zebra mantis shrimp.[3]
Natural history
Like all mantis shrimps, banded mantis shrimps dig burrows in the sea floor.[2] Banded mantis shrimp burrows are relatively deep, descending vertically into soft substrate.[1] Unlike other clades, however, they rarely leave their burrows, preferring to ambush their prey from the safety of their homes.[2][1]
Genera
- Lysiosquilla Dana, 1852
- Lysiosquillina Manning, 1995
- Lysiosquilloides Manning, 1977
Interactions with humans
If banded mantis shrimp leave their burrows, they may be at risk to be caught by artisnal fishers, trawls, or night lights.[2]
