1) This species is regarded by C. M. Selbie (The Decapoda Reptantia of the Coasts of Ireland, London 1914, p. 23) as a 

 synonym of Polycheles granulatus Fax. 



2) With this species Polycheles Beaumontii (Alcock) 1894 from off Colombo is no doubt identical. It is the opinion of Miss 

 Rathbun (The Brachyura and Macrura of the Hawaiian Islands, Wash. 1906, p. 899), of Mr. C. M. Selbie (1. c. 1914, p. 23) and of the 

 Rev. Stebbing (South African Crustacea, Part VII, 1914, p. 11). while Mr. Faxon is "inclined to regard P. beaumontii as, at most, but a 

 geographical race of P. granulatus". 



A species, however, from the Cape of Good Hope, of which a male and a female were referred by the Rev. Stebbing in 1908 

 with some doubt to P. Beaumontii (South African Crustacea, Part IV, p. 25), is regarded by Selbie (1. c.) as a different form; I am of 

 the same opinion which is corroborated by the fact that the Rev. Stebbing in: South African Crustacea, Part VII, 1914, p. 11, does not 

 quote here his description of 1908.
