Wien, xii. p. 520 (1862); id. ' Novara' Crust, p. 27, pi. iii. fig. 2 (1868); Alcock, Journ. As. Soc. Beng. lxviii. 2, i. p. 26 (1899). Funafuti; one male. Subfamily PORTUNINA'. Genus NEPTUNUS de Haan, 1833. Neptunus, de Haan, Faun. Japon., Crust, p. 7 (1833) ; Alcock, Journ. As. Soc. Beng. lxviii. 2, i. p. 28 (1899); Ortmann, Bronn's 4 Thier-reicb,' v. 2, p. 1171 (1899). Portunus, Bathbun, Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash. xi. pp. 155 & 160 (1897) ; id. Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. xxii. p. 289 (1900). I am unable to agree with the alteration of the name of this genus proposed by Miss Bathbun. On the subject of Latreille's " types " I am in full agreement with the position taken up by Stebbing (Nat. Sci. xii. p. 239). 16. NEPTUNUS (ACHELOUS) GRANULATUS (H. M.-Edw.), 1834. Lupea granulata, H. M.-Edwards, H. N. Crust, i. p. 454 (1834). Amphitrite speciosa, Dana, Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. Philad. 1852, p. 84 ; id. U.S. Expl. Exped., Crust, i. p. 276, pi. xvii. fig. 1 (1852). Achelous granulatus, A. M.-Edwards, Arch. Mus. x. p. 344 (1861). Neptunus (Achelous) granulatus. Miers, ' Challenger ' Brachyura, p. 180 (1886) ; Alcock, Journ. As. Soc. Beng. lxviii. 2, i. p. 45 (1899). Funafuti; four males. Subfamily THALAMITIN^E. Genus THALAMITA Latr., 1829. 17. THALAMITA PRYMNA (Herbst), 1803. Cancer prymna, Herbst, Naturges. Krabb. u. Krebse, iii. 3, p. 41, pi. lvii. fig. 2 (1803). Thalamita prymna, H. M.-Edwards, H. N. Crust, i. p. 461 (1834) ; Alcock, Journ. As. Soc. Beng. lxviii. 2, i. pp. 76, 78. Alcock supports Kossman's view that all the forms of Thalamita with an eight-lobed front and a very broad basal joint to the antenna are but varieties of one species (T. prymna). The present collection contains no examples of the type, but three varieties are represented. |
