Depth range Eulittoral. [details]
Distribution Pacific Ocean: coast of Peru. [details]
Etymology Not stated. The specific epitet uncinata (masculine: uncinatus) is a Latin adjective meaning 'bearing hooks' or 'barbered', and refers presumably to the presence of two types of hooks in all neuropodia, one of the distinguish features of the new species and type of the new genus. [details]
Habitat Amongst intertidal brown algae below the balanid zone. [details]
Taxonomic remark Specimens from Mar del Plata, Argentina, identified as Protoariciella uncinata Hartmann-Schröder, 1962 by Elias et al. (2000) were found by Bleidorn et al. (2009) to have the same genetic structure as Leodamas tribulosus (Ehlers, 1897) from Chile. These authors concluded that the Argentinian specimens were juveniles of L. tribulosus. [details]
