Venenthos
Venenthos is a genus of crustaceans within the family Venentharidae, primarily characterized by their distinctive exoskeletal features and specialized appendages. The genus was first described in the early 21st century following discoveries in deep-sea habitats, where members exhibit adaptations to extreme environmental conditions.
The species within Venenthos are predominantly found in submarine trenches and hydrothermal vent communities, thriving at
Taxonomically, Venenthos is distinguished from closely related genera by specific features in its appendage structure and
Research on Venenthos remains limited, partly due to the challenges associated with deep-sea exploration. Nonetheless, ongoing
Overall, Venenthos represents a fascinating example of deep-sea crustacean diversity, highlighting the complexity of life in
