A Redescription of Acanthonyx Petiverii H. Milne Edwards, 1834, and Designation of a Neotype for Acanthonyx Simplex Dana, 1852 (Brachyura, Majidae) A REDESCRIPTION OF ACANTHONYX PETIVERII H. MILNE EDWARDS, 1834, AND DESIGNATION OF A NEOTYPE FOR ACANTHONYX SIMPLEX DANA, 1852 (BRACHYURA, MAJIDAE) BY ESTEBAN J. M. EMPARANZA1,3), GUILLERMO L. GUZMÁN1) and PETER K. L. NG2) 1) Museo del Mar, Departamento de Ciencias del Mar, Universidad Arturo Prat, Casilla 121, Iquique, Chile 2) Department of Biological Sciences, National University of Singapore, Kent Ridge, Singapore 119260, Republic of Singapore ABSTRACT The identity of the problematic spider crab species, Acanthonyx simplex Dana, 1852, originally described from Hawaii and never reported since, is resolved. It is here shown to be identical to Acanthonyx petiverii H. Milne Edwards, 1834, a species that is widely distributed on both sides of the American continent. The supposed type locality of Acanthonyx simplex is almost certainly wrong. Acanthonyx petiverii, nevertheless, is a highly variable species and, as such, is redescribed in detail. To ensure a stable taxonomy for these species and the genus, a neotype for A. simplex is designated. RESUMEN La problemática identidad de la especie de cangrejo araña Acanthonyx simplex Dana, 1852, originalmente descrita para las costas de Hawai y nunca estudiada desde entonces, ha sido determinada. Aquí se demuestra que es idéntica a Acanthonyx petiverii Milne Edwards, 1834, especie que se distribuye en ambas costas del continente Americano. La supuesta localidad tipo de Acanthonyx simplex es, casi con certeza, un dato erróneo. Acanthonyx petiverii, no obstante, es una especie altamente variable morfológicamente y, en consecuencia, se redescribe en detalle. Para estabilizar la taxonomía, se designa un neotipo para la especie A. simplex. INTRODUCTION The majid genus Acanthonyx Latreille, 1828 currently contains 17 species (table I), most of which occur in the Atlantic and Indian Ocean.

Milne Edwards, 1834, and E. brasiliensis Dana, 1852. Specimens of both genera from different carcinological collections were studied by comparing morphological characters. We provide new data that extends the geographical distributions of E. bituberculatus to the coast of the states of Paraná and Santa Catarina (Brazil), and offer new records from Belize and Costa Rica. Epialtus brasiliensis is recorded for the first time in the state of Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil), and A. dissimulatus is reported from Quintana Roo, Mexico. The distribution of A. dissimulatus, previously known as endemic to Brazil, has a gap between the states of Espírito Santo and Rio de Janeiro. However, this restricted southern distribution is herein amplified by the Mexican specimens. Key words: Geographic distribution, majoid, new records, spider crabs. Introduction (Melo, 1996).

Over 10,500 names are treated including 6,793 valid species and subspecies (with 1,907 primary synonyms), 1,271 genera and subgenera (with 393 primary synonyms), 93 families and 38 superfamilies. Nomenclatural and taxonomic problems are reviewed in detail, and many resolved. Detailed notes and references are provided where necessary. The constitution of a large number of families and superfamilies is discussed in detail, with the positions of some taxa rearranged in an attempt to form a stable base for future taxonomic studies. This is the first time the nomenclature of any large group of decapod crustaceans has been examined in such detail.

    •59 Decapoda (Crustacea) of the Gulf of Mexico, with Comments on the Amphionidacea Darryl L. Felder, Fernando Álvarez, Joseph W. Goy, and Rafael Lemaitre The decapod crustaceans are primarily marine in terms of abundance and diversity, although they include a variety of well- known freshwater and even some semiterrestrial forms. Some species move between marine and freshwater environments, and large populations thrive in oligohaline estuaries of the Gulf of Mexico (GMx). Yet the group also ranges in abundance onto continental shelves, slopes, and even the deepest basin floors in this and other ocean envi- ronments. Especially diverse are the decapod crustacean assemblages of tropical shallow waters, including those of seagrass beds, shell or rubble substrates, and hard sub- strates such as coral reefs. They may live burrowed within varied substrates, wander over the surfaces, or live in some Decapoda. After Faxon 1895. special association with diverse bottom features and host biota.

Kazmi Marine Reference Collection and Resource Centre, University of Karachi, Karachi-75270, Pakistan. ABSTRACT: The present report deals with the history of work done on northern Arabian Sea majids, their zoogeographical consideration and recognition of present status of certain genera which are established by recent workers. I have nothing of substance to add to previous treatment by Griffin & Tranter (1986). Emphasis is given to species inhabiting coastal waters of Pakistan. The occurrence of the genus Pleistacantha in the Arabian Sea and its adjacent gulfs is discussed in detail due to presence of a unique female which was taken by Fridtj of Nansen Cruise in 1977. This seems to be an undescribed species. At the moment the female is just given as Pleistacantha spl till more specimens obtained determine its position. Some interesting features of Doc/ea muricata are also considered. KEYWORDS: Spider majid crabs, northern Arabian Sea, Pakistan, undescribed Pleistacantha. HISTORY OF WORK DONE The area under study (Map) has been investigated for the crabs earlier by Alcock (1895), during the Indian RIMSS Investigator cruises - a study which still stands amongst the most notable contributions made to the Indian Ocean carcinology.

Les pinces sont très mobiles sur leur base et rarement plus longues que les pattes ambulatoires ; elles sont comprimées latéralement, et moins robustes chez les jeunes et les femelles que chez les mâles. Le corps est nu mais il existe quelques poils forts et dilatés ou en crochet sur le rostre et sur la carapace ainsi qu’au bout du dernier article des pédoncules antennaires. L’abdomen comporte 6 segments. Cette espèce effectue de faibles migrations : algues photophiles proches de la surface en été, un peu plus profond en hiver. La mue de puberté entraîne un certain polymorphisme caractéristique des mâles ; c’est un facteur dominant influençant le cycle biologique et la structure de la population.
