females, 27-36 mm.; juv., 20 mm.; Sacculina infected male, 37 mm. 
Remarxks.—The third maxilliped shows slight iridescence on the 
last three segments of the endopodite and also on the forwardly 
directed portion of the fourth. This feature, presumably of some 
specific importance, has not been noted previously. 
DistripuTion.—Madagascar and East Africa to Japan, Philip- 
pines, and Australia. 
The Portunus longispinosus Complex 
Crosnier (1962) has suggested that two and possibly three different 
species have been given the name longispimosus by Rathbun (1906), 
by Sakai (1939), and by Stephenson and Campbell (1959), respec- 
tively. He also notes that Amphitrite vigilans Dana 1852, which 
has been synonymized with A. longispinosa Dana 1852, is probably 
a distinct species and is possibly identical with his own P. dranjae. 
In the opinion of the present authors, it will prove impossible to 
relate specimens to one or another of Dana’s species unless the types 
can be discovered. The differences in anterolateral teeth lie within 
the range of a single species, and neither of Dana’s figures of carapace 
ornamentation conform exactly to those of known species. 
Apart from the above species (ie., P. longispinosa (Dana), P. 
vigilans (Dana), and P. iranjae Crosnier, the remaining closely
