Remarks: The four adult specimens agree with western Atlantic 

 material with which they have been compared and disagree with 

 specimens of D. personata (Linnaeus, 1758) [=D. vulgaris H. MUne' 

 Edwards, 1837, see Holthuis and Gottlieb, 1958, p. 78] in the morsi 

 evenly convex carapace and the more prominent suborbital tooth 

 mentioned by Milne Edwards. The two adult males and one of thei 

 adidt females differ from aU western Atlantic adults at my disposal, 

 however, in having the thu'd anterolateral tooth (not counting the;

 denuded carapace of male from off James- ' 

 town. 



orbital angle) placed so close to the second tooth as to form almost a 

 single bifid tooth (compare fig. 6 with Rathbun 1937, fig. 1 1) . Evalua- 

 tion of the systematic importance of this character must await the 

 examination of additional specimens. The immature specimen lacks 

 the third anterolateral tooth entirely, but it differs little in this respect 

 from western Atlantic specimens of D. erythropus of comparable size. 

 Distribution: Florida to Brazil; Bermuda; St. Helena. Sublittoral 

 to 360 meters.
