Depth range Littoral (0 to 30 m), intertidal to 22 m. [details]

Habitat Marine. According to Lowry & Fenwick (1983) Parapherusa crassipes occurs “intertidally among algae, coralline algae, sponges encrusting barnacles, hydroids, fine gravel and in Duruillaea antarctica holdfasts; subtidally among algae, in Lessonia variegata holdfasts, on fine shelly sand and among bryozoans”. [details]

Remark Parapherus crassipes has an extraordinary disjunct distribution: Tristan da Cunha in the South Atlantic Ocean; eastern Australia; and all of New Zealand. Although it was originally described from eastern Australia, Australian material has never been well illustrated. J.L. Barnard (1972b) compared the New Zealand and Tristan da Cunha populations and considered them to be morphologically the same. He considered that Parapherusa was most similar to taxa like Elasmopus and Ceradocus. According to Barnard & Barnard (1983) the short rami of uropod 3 (ampithoid-like) distinguish this group. [details]
