Eurycarcinus natalensis (Krauss). 



1843. Galene natalensis, Krauss, Siidafrik. Crust., p. 31, pi. 1, tig. 4. 



" Under stones and in holes of the rocks at the mouth of 



the Umlaas Eiver in Natal." 



Under Pseudozius, Dana, Miers, Challenger Brachyura, p. 141, 



expresses the opinion that that genus is very nearly allied to 



Menippe, de Haan, and on the following page says : " Eurycarcinus, 



A. Milne-Edwards, is also very nearly allied to this genus, and 



should, perhaps, not be separated from it." The typical species, 



Eurycarcinus grandidieri, from Zanzibar, is, he thinks, identical 



with Galene natalensis, Krauss. The latter view is endorsed by 



Ortmann, 1893, Zool. Jahrb., vol. vii., p. 434, and by Nobili, 1907, 



Ann. Sci. Nat., Ser. 9, vol. iv., p. 289. But Alcock, 1898, J. A. S. B., 



vol. Ixvii., p. 211, describes E. grandidieri, without taking notice of 



E. natalensis.
