reptant

Fertilisation has not been observed in this species, but most reptant decapods mate with the ventral surfaces together.

Often confused with shrimp or prawns, they are neither, but belong in a group closer to the reptant decapods, such as lobsters and crabs.

The core Isabelia species, Isabelia virginalis, presents short reptant rhyzome with pseudobulbs of terete leaves, completely covered by dried stealths formed by a loose tissue of fibers interlaced as a rustic network.
