opment from smaller more numerous eggs in 

 Homarus species (Kado et al., 1994). 



Acknowledgments 



Our conclusions converged independently from two 

 viewpoints. A. B. W. and other carcinologists have 

 long understood grounds for generic separation of the 

 Cape lobster from Homarus on the basis of morphol- 

 ogy. I. K. and R. S. S. concluded this on the basis of 

 genetic divergence and were well into their analysis 

 before forces were joined. A. B. W. drafted the sys- 

 tematic section and assembled the jointly produced 

 text. Keiko Hiratsuka Moore rendered drawings of 

 the pleopods. G. C. Steyskal provided advice on the 

 choice of a new generic name. The manuscript was 

 critically reviewed by W. Glanz, R. B. Manning, and 

 T. A. Munroe. We are indebted especially to colleagues 

 at the Sea Fisheries Institute, Cape Town, South 

 Africa, who helped us in this study; Roy Melville- 

 Smith provided materials and information, and Rob- 

 ert Tarr photographed the living specimen of Cape 

 lobster. George M. Branch, University of Cape Town, 

 provided logistic support and aided in specimen ac- 

 quisition. Yan Kit Tarn and Alex Parker provided 

 sequence data. R. S. S. was supported by grants from 

 the South African Foundation of Research Develop- 

 ment, the Visiting Scholar Fund, and the Student 

 Fund for Visiting Scholars of the University of Cape 

 Town. Molecular work was supported by NOAA Sea 

 Grant (NA90AAD-SG499) and NSF (EHR-9108766 

 and OCE-9203342).
