Several additions to the synonymy, which begins with Astacus 

 penicillatus, Olivier, Encycl. Meth., vol. vi., p. 343, 1791, will be

 species was transferred to Palinurus by Olivier in 1811, and to 

 Panulirus by White in 1847. There seems no reason to doubt that 

 the dried specimen from the Durban Museum belongs to this species. 

 It has an individual peculiarity. The little group of spines on the 

 segment of the first antennae is reduced to three, a small pair in 

 front with a larger spine immediately behind the left member of
