Neptunus liastatus, A. Milne Edwards, Archiv. Mus. Hist. Nat., vol. x. p. 327, 1861, et 
synonyma. 
Four young males obtained off Teneriffe or Gomera, in 75 or 78 fathoms, are referred 
to this species. 2 
These specimens are very prettily mottled with purple on a yellowish ground ; the 
frontal teeth are less prominent and acute than in adult examples of Neptunus hastatus. 
In the smallest example, length only about 2^ lines (5 mm.), the full number of 
antero-lateral marginal teeth are developed. 
The largest specimen measures as follows : — 
<3 . Lines. Millims. 
Length of carapace, about . . . . . . 4|- 9‘5 
Breadth of carapace to base of lateral epibranchial spine, . . 7\ 15 '5 
Neptunus ( Amphitrite ) hastatoides (Fabricius). 
Portunus hastatoides, Fabricius, Entom. Syst. Suppl., p. 368, 1798. 
Portunus ( Amphitrite ) hastatoides, de Haan, Crust, in v. Siebold, Fauna Japonica, pp. 9, 39, 
pi. i. fig. 3 1833. 
Neptunus hastatoides, A. Milne Edwards, Archiv. Mus. Hist. Nat., vol. x. p. 332, 1861. 
South of New Guinea, lat. 9° 59' 0" S., long. 139° 42' 0" E., in 28 fathoms (Station 
188), four males and one female; Hong Kong, 10 fathoms (a good series); Kobe, 
Japan, 8 to 50 fathoms (an adult male) ; Japanese Seas, lat. 34° 18' 0" N., long. 
133° 35' 0" E. (Station 233b), 15 fathoms (three adult males). 
1 The Portunus ponticus of Fabricius (Entom. Syst. Suppl., p. 369, 1798) as described and figured by Herbst, is 
apparently a species of this subgenus. It is referred to by H. Milne Edwards (Hist. Nat. Crust., vol. i. p. 457, 1837). 
2 There is some discrepancy between the label on the outside of the bottle and the written parchment note of the 
locality placed within it with the specimens. In the same bottle was an example of the common Nautilograpsus 
minutus, which generally occurs on the floating gulf-weed, perhaps, therefore, the depth is inaccurately noted.
