1843. G. c, Krauss, Sudafrik. Crust., p. 40. 



Krauss says : " I do not know this species ; but to judge by 

 Guerin's figure it appears to stand very near the preceding 

 species." 

 1891. G. c, de Man., Notes from the Leyden Museum, vol. xiii., 



p. 41. 

 1907. G. c. (?), Ortmann, Zool. Jahrb., vol. x., p. 354. 



Ortmann argues that any identification of this species is so 

 doubtful that its title should be rejected as nomen imdwn. 

 Certainly M°Leay and Krauss give no help towards guarantee- 

 ing its claim to be a South African species.

 1897. Uca inversa, Ortmann, Zool. Jahrb., vol. x., p. 351. 



De Man and Ortmann agree that the species named 

 Gelasimus chlorophthalmus by Hilgendorf (in 1869 and 1878) 

 is not the species so named by Milne-Edwards, but is identical 

 with Hoffmann's Uca inversa.

Cleistostoma edwaedsii (M^Leay). 



1838. Gleistotoma echvardsii, M'^Leay, Annulosa of S. Africa, p. 64. 

 M'^Leay says : " This species comes very near to the Glei- 

 stotoma Leachii of Milne-Edwards, but differs from it in the 

 surface being altogether smooth. The length is four lines."
