Based on published descriptions there are few, if any, valid 
differences distinguishing this species from the Mediterranean 
C. dentipes of the same author.t. The entire National Museum 
collection of Alpheids is in the hands of Dr. Coutiére, Ecole 
Supérieure de Pharmacie, Paris, so it is not possible to add 
much regarding either species at this time. Coutiére seems to 
have considered the Tortugas specimen he referred to C. candet, 
as quite distinct from C. denttpes, as he does not even mention 
the latter in his redescription of the former (loc. cit.). 
The only possible difference that I am able to detect at the 
present time, in view of our limited knowledge of C. candet, is 
in the shape of the movable finger of the larger hand. Coutiére 
figures this (loc. cit., fig. 1 b, b') as gradually tapering toward 
the more or less acuminate tip, which is much more slender, 
not as wide or thick as the finger is at the middle of its length; 
in C. dentipes it seems that the movable finger has a more or 
less swollen, blunt, or truncated end, the finger being at least 
as thick or thicker terminally than at the middle of its length. 
However this may be, Verrill appears to have had both types 
of hands represented among his Bermuda candei. His plate
