The original description given in 1775 by Forskal runs: 



Cancer sedentarius; macrourus; articularis; manibus adactylis. 



Descr. Color vitreus, flavescens. Caput fere conicum, perpendiculare, ante paululum pla- 

 natum, juxta verticem emarginatum. Ori utrinque spha?rula oculiformis adjacet; supra quamque 

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

 paria, affirmare non sustineo. Antennce setacea? longitudine cylindrorum, lateri eorum anteriori 

 affixa?. Thorax ovato-lanceolatus, septem-articulatus. Cauda lineari-attenuata, compressa, antice 

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

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

 paria enim septem, thoracis septem articulis adherent; omnia adactyla, praeter quinti ordinis par, 

 caeteris inulto crassius, longius, femoribus compressis, apice uni-spinosis, carpis clavatis, chelis 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: & membrana subtus acuta utrinque tiuplici, 

 ovata, natatoria. l ) Articulis Cauda? tribus, totidem pedum paria, versus apicem Cauda? gradatim 

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



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

 Singulai'is architectura? inhabitat domum, cubico-ventricosam, rugosam, gelatinosam, rigidam, ut- 

 roque extremo patulam. Bic residet incurvum, sa?pe situm mutans: his cunis ova deponit pul- 

 losque excludit.» 



In 1796 Herbst translated in German the diagnosis given by Forskal thereby 

 committing some mistakes as Pagenstecher pointed out ,in 1861. 



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

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