GECARCINUS LAGOSTOMA, Milne-Edwards. 



1837. Gecarcinus lagostoma, Milne-Edwards, Hist. Nat. Crust. 



vol. ii., p. 27. 

 1886. Geocarcinus I. (?), Miers, Challenger Brachyura, vol. xvii., 



p. 218, pi. 18, fig. 2. 



Miers says that this species has apparently a very extensive 

 range, including the Cape of Good Hope. From a footnote on 

 p. 219 it appears that the authority for this locality depends 

 on a specimen in the British Museum " designated as from 

 the Cape of Good Hope." Dr. Caiman, Proc. Zool. Soc., 

 London, 1909, p. 710, incidentally remarks that the history 

 of this specimen cannot be traced.

FAMILY OCYPODID^. 



1894. Ocypodidce, Ortmann, Zool. Jahrb., vol. vii., pp. 700, 741. 

 1900. 0., Alcock, Journ. Asiat. Soc. Bengal, vol. Ixix., pt. 2, pp. 283, 



290, 294, 342. 

 1905. 0., Stebbing, S.A. Crustacea, pt. 3, p. 39. 



GEN. OCYPODE, Fabricius. 



1798. Ocypode, J. C. Fabricius, Suppl. Ent. Syst., p. 347. 



1803. Ocypode, Latreille, Hist. Nat. Crust, et Ins., vol. vi., pp. 27, 35. 

 On p. 27 Ocypoda, though an obvious misprint, has been 

 accepted by many authors as the original name of the genus, 

 with Fabricius quoted as the authority for it. Milne-Edwards, 

 Hist. Nat. Crust., vol. ii., p. 41, adopts Ocypoda, though citing 

 Fabricius and Latreille's p. 27 for Ocypode.
