Gecarcinus lagostoma, Milne-Edwards. 



1837. Gecarcinus lagostoyna, Milne-Edwards, Hist. Nat. Crust. 



vol. ii., p. 27. 

 1886. Geocarcinus I. (?), Miers, Challenger Brachyura, vol. xvii., 

 p. 218, pi. 18, fig. 2. 

 Miers says that this species has apparently a very extensive 

 range, including the Cape of Good Hope. From a footnote on 

 p. 219 it appears that the authority for this locality depends 

 on a specimen in the British Museum " designated as from 

 the Cape of Good Hope." Dr. Caiman, Proc. Zool. Soc, 

 London, 1909, p. 710, incidentally remarks that the history 

 of this specimen cannot be traced. 



Gen. CARDISOMA, Latreille.

Family OCYPODID^. 



1894. OcypodidcB, Ortmann, Zool. Jahrb., vol. vii., pp. 700, 741. 

 1900. 0., Alcock, Journ. Asiat. Soc. Bengal, vol. Ixix., pt. 2, pp. '283, 



290, 294, 342. 

 1905. 0., Stebbing, S.A. Crustacea, pt. 3, p. 39. 



Gen. OCYPODE, Fabricius. 



1798. Ocijpode, J. C. Fabricius, Suppl. Ent. Syst., p. 347. 



1803. Ocypode, Latreille, Hist. Nat. Crust, et Ins., vol. vi., pp. 27, 35. 

 On p. 27 Ocypoda, though an obvious misprint, has been 

 accepted by many authors as the original name of the genus, 

 with Fabricius quoted as the authority for it. Milne-Edwards, 

 Hist. Nat. Crust., vol. ii., p. 41, adopts Ocypoda, though citing 

 Fabricius and Latreille's p. 27 for Ocypode.
