The original description given in 1775 by Forskål runs: 



Cancer sedentarius; macrourus; articularis; manibus adactylis. 



Descr. Color vitreiis, flavescens. Caput fere conicutn, perpendiculare, ante paululum pla- 

 natum, juxta verticem emai-ginatum. Ori utrinqiie sphrerula oculiformis adjacet; supra quamque 

 liarum, cylinder perpendicularis erigitur, oculum referens; sintne ergo huic animali duo oculorum 

 paria, affirraare non sustineo. Antennce setaceas longitudine cylindrorum, lateri eorum anteriori 

 affixa3. Thorax ovato-lanceolatus, septem-articulatus. Cauda lineari-attenuata, corapressa, antice 

 articulis 3 rotundatis, pone truncatis, utrinque unispinosis. Articuli duo angustiores apicem caudffi 

 constituunt, cui insistunt spini sex, vel setas lineares, apice bifida;, acuta;. Pedes utrinque decem: 

 paria enim septem, thoracis septem articulis adhasrent; omnia adactyla, prakter quinti ordinis par, 

 cajteris inulto crassius, lougius, femorihus compressis, a2)ice uni-spinosis, carpis clavatis, cheli.s obo- 

 vatis, ventricosis; digitis adeo curvatis, forficatis, introrsum dente instructis. Priora 4 paria 

 plantis gaudent setaceis, curvatis & longitudine superantibus plantas posteriorum pedum thora- 

 cicorum, quorum paria retrorsum majora majoraque: & niembrana subtus acuta utrinque triplici, 

 ovata, natatoria. ') Articulis Caudas tribus, totidem pedum paria, versus apicem caudaj gradatim 

 minora aflfiguntur, brevia, femoribus obovatis, membranaceis; tibiis recurvatis, concavis. 



In Mari mediterraneo. Mirum in suo genere Animal Oculorum forma, & Pedum numero. 

 Singularis architecturas inhabitat domum, cubico-ventricosam, rugosam, gelatinosam, rigidam, ut- 

 roque extreme patulam. Hic residet incurvum, Sfepe situm mutans: bis cunis ova deponit pul- 

 losque excludit.» 



In 1796 Herbst ti-anslated in German the diagnosis given by Forskål thereby 

 committing some mistakes as Pagenstecher pointed out in 1861. 



') Pagenstecker considers (in 1861) this passage to be corrupted and proposos the following emendation : 

 » — — majora majoraque. Et adest membrana subtus acuta utrinque triplex, ovata natatoria».
