Resembling or characteristic of Erichthus, a genus of crustaceans, particularly in morphological features or structural characteristics.
From Erichthus (crustacean genus) plus -oid suffix meaning resembling or similar to, used in taxonomy to describe similar forms.
Erichthoid crustaceans include some deep-sea creatures with bizarre body plans—their appearance inspired scientists to suspect that body diversity in the ocean depths might rival what we see on land.
