FISHERY BULLETIN; VOL. 72. NO. 3 



propodus, that of the smaller specimen showing 

 obsolescent granules; in both, the merus and 

 carpus are smooth, with a very blunt outer spine 

 on the carpus. The small specimen has a missing 

 right third pereopod. In both, the first gonopods 

 reach slightly beyond the telson. 



Two male specimens labelled ''CaUinectes 

 cayennensis A. M. Edw., Cayenne, Coll. Melinon" 

 are possibly the types of C. cayennensis. 

 Identification, locality, sex, and collector agree 

 with Milne Edwards's description. Both dark in 

 color, the specimens are obviously C. bocourti. The 

 larger has only seven anterolateral teeth on the 

 right side, the first tooth being enlarged. Both 

 specimens have two apparent minor chelae, the 

 larger of each smooth dorsally. and the smaller 

 with obscurely granulate obsolescent ridges. 



Finally, a dry male specimen labelled 

 "CaUinectes bocourti A. M. Edw., TYPE?, Hon- 

 duras, Belize (Crust. Mexique, p. 226, 1881, 

 Bocourt) A. Milne Edwards 1903" has a badly 

 cracked carapace and bears the word "Belize" 

 written obscurely in ink on the right mesobran- 

 chial eminence. The specimen, as shown by 

 carapacic and pleopodal characters, is not C. 

 bocourti, but rather C. danae, and was undoubt- 

 edly mislabelled subsequent to Milne Edwards's 

 death in 1900, according to J. Forest. The broken 

 abdomen exposes the tip of an intact first pleopod 

 with tip turned ventrolateral ly at the two-thirds 

 level of sternite VI bearing a subterminal hair on 

 the sternal aspect. 



In the ANSP collection is a dry male specimen of 

 C. bocourti (No. 2808 labelled Lupa dicantha) 

 that is badly shrunken and distorted bearing the 

 label "North America," but no date of collection 

 nor indication of collector. The name and speci- 

 men suggest a collection made over a century ago 

 representing a possible third record of the species 

 from somewhere in the United States. 



North American records may be explained by 

 drift from the Caribbean, possible routes being 

 suggested by drift bottle returns (Brucks, 1971). 



Bott (1955) listed the species from the west 

 rather than the east coast of Middle America by 

 mistake.
