General Catalogue of SoutJi African Crustacea. 303 



Eriphia smithii, INPLeay. 



1838. Eriphia smitJiii, M°Leay, Aanulosa of S. Africa, p. 60, with 



E. fordii, M<=Leay, ibid. 

 1843. E. s., Krauss, Siidafrik. Crust., p. 36, pi. 2, fig. 3, a~e. 



"On the Natal coast and especially at Natal Point, where 



they keep in holes and crannies of the rocks, but often their 



holes are so small that they have only just room in them, and 



not enough for turning round." 



1898. E. Uevimana, var. Siiiiiliii, Alcock, J. A. S. B., vol. Ixvii., 



p. 216. 

 1907. E. I., var. Smithi, Nobili, Ann. Sci. Nat., Ser. 9, vol. iv., 



p. 291. 

 1907. Eriphia sebancc smithii, Eathbun, Smithson. Misc. Coll., vol. 

 xlix., p. 72 footnote, correction of E. smithii, Stimpson. 

 Miss Eathbun, ibid., gives Eriphia sehana (Shaw) as correc- 

 tion of Eriphia levimana, Latreille, so named by Stimpson, 

 though his references show that the name E. IcBvimana should 

 be attributed to Guerin, not Latreille. 



Eriphia scabricula, Dana. 



1843. Eriphia gonagra, Krauss, Siidafrik. Crust., p. 36. 



" In the rock crannies at the mouth of the Umlaas Eiver in 

 Natal." 



The specific name used by Krauss, though earlier than 



Dana's, is rejected, because the species is not, as Krauss 



supposed, identical with that so named by Milne-Edwards, 



and founded on the Cancer gonagra of Fabricius. 



1852. E. scabricula, Dana, U.S. Expl. Exp., vol. xiii., p. 247, pi. 14, 



figs. 5, a, b. 

 1898. E. scabricula, Alcock, J. A. S. B., vol. Ixvii., p. 216. 



Gen. TEAPEZIA, Latreille. 

 1825. Trapezia, Latreille, Encycl. M6th., vol. 10, p. 695. 



Only the French form, Trapezie, of this name is given by 

 Latreille in his Fam. Nat. du E6gne Animal, p. 269, 1825. 

 1838. Grapsillus, M'=Leay, Annulosa of S. Africa, p. 67. 

 1843. Trapezia, Krauss, Siidafrik. Crust., p. 35. 



1897. Grapsillus, Eathbun, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, vol. xi., 

 p. 165. 

 The preference is given to M^Leay's generic name on 

 the ground that Trapezia was preoccupied by Trapezium,
