160 GRAPSODES NOTATUS HELLER. 



1879, seems to be identical with Pyxidognathus granulo- 

 sus^ described without a figure by Mr. Alph. Milne Ed- 

 wards as a new genus and species of crustaceans in : Bul- 

 letin de la Société philomathique de Paris , of its session of 

 18 Dec. 1878'). I suppose this, having had the occasion 

 of comparing with our specimen the original drawing of 

 Pjixid. granulosus , which Mr. Alph. Milne Edwards kindly 

 presented me. When these two forms would be identical , 

 then the name of Pyxidognathus granulosus must have the 

 priority , being published two or three months before mine. — 

 The specimen of the French carcinologist was found at the 

 island of Ovalau in fresh or sligthly brackish water , the 

 specimen of Hypsilograpsus Deldeni being collected near Me- 

 uado at the island of Celebes. 



17. Grapsodes notatus Heller. 

 Heller, Novara-Reise , 1865, p. 58, 59. Taf. V, fig. 2. 



A single fine male specimen is in the Museum Collection 

 found on the shores of the island of Morotai by Mr. Bern- 

 stein, It is of a somewhat larger size than the individual 

 of the Novara Expedition , that was collected at the Nico- 

 bare islands , but agrees for the rest wholly with it. The 

 anterior part of the carapace is much declivous and convex, 

 and some very small tubercles follow immediately behind 



1) This note of Mr. Alph. Milne Edwards, entitled: «Description de 

 quelques Crustacés nouveaux," has not yet been announced in the Zoolo- 

 gical Record, neither for 1878, or 1879, nor 1880, and it may therefore 

 be allowed to direct the attention of carcinologists to it by quoting the new 

 forms described: Goniothorax ruber, no v. genus, no v. spec, from Madagascar, 

 allied to Epialtus, Acanthonyx and PeUinia; Eumedoii pentagonus nov. sp. 

 from the Mauritius, Flalyxmithas crenulaius and Paiagonicus novae spec, 

 from Patagonia; Rhabdotwtus pictus nov. gen. nov. spec, from Cochinchina, 

 allied to Trapezia and Cymo ; Fyxidognathus granulosus nov. gen. nov. spec, 

 from Ovalau , allied to Gnachograpsus ; Axia acantha nov. spec, from New- 

 Caledonia , Callianassa Filholi nov. spec, from Stewart island ; finally some 

 remarks on fossil forms: Palaeoplax , new genus for Gonoplax incertay 

 description of Macrophtkalmus aquensis Marion, Lithophylax Trigeri nov. gen. 

 nov. spec, from Maine, allied to Gonoplax,
