fi. DOUGLAS LAURIE—BRACHYURA. 407 REPORTS on the MARINE BIOLOGY of the SUDANESE RED SEA.—XXI. On the BEACHYURA. By R. DOUGLAS LAURIE, M.A. (Oxon.), Lecturer in Embryology and Senior Demonstrator in Zoology in the University of Liverpool. (Communicated by Prof. W. A. HERDMAK, F.R.S., F.L.S.) (PLATES 42-45 and 5 Text-figures.) [Read 18th June, 1914.] THE collection comprises 65 species, of which 1, Chlorodopsis arabica, is new to science and 8 are new to the Red Sea. The latter are Cryptodromia gilesii (Ale), Notopus dorsipes (Fabr.), two varieties of Lambrus (Aulaco- lambrus) hoplonotus, Ad. & Wh., Chlorodopsis arabica, Laurie, n. sp., Actwmnus setifer (de Haan), var. tomentosus, Dana, Litocheira Integra (Miers), Macrophthalmus graefei, A. M.-Edw., and Palicus whitei (Miers). In addition, the very decided variety cytherea of Chlorodiella niger (Forsk.) is new to the Red Sea, and should perhaps be reinstated in the specific rank originally given to it by Dana. Of the genera named above, 2 are new to the Red Sea fauna, namely, Litocheira and Notopus, and the latter is the first recorded Red Sea representative of the family Raninidse. The material in the collection helps in the elucidation of the following, in addition to other points of interest :— Thalamka cJiaptalii and T. poissonii, both of Audouin and Savigny, 1826, are easily separable species. Lambrus (Aulacolambrus) hoplonotus, Ad. & Wh., will, I think, be found to comprise at least two species. Macrophtlialmus biennis, A. M.-Edw., is, I believe, incorrectly considered by Alcock to be a synonym of M. convexus, Stm. See note under M. grai-fei, A. M.-Edw. Ophthalmias curvirostris (A. M.-Edw.) is, I believe, quite a good species, easily distinguishable from 0. cervicomis (Herbst). In addition to a series of other points of difference, I call attention to the figures which I give of the external maxillipedes in the two forms. There is in my mind a doubt as to the correctness of the single record of 0. cervicornu from the Red Sea. My specimens confirm Nobili's suggestion that Dotilla afinis, Ale, 1900, is a synonym of D. sulcata (Forsk., 1775). I find that the supposed distinction was in part based upon a sex-difference. Chlorodopsis wood-masoni, Ale, 1898, is a doubtful synonym of C. spinipes (Hell., 1861). 4m MAHINE BIOLOGY OF THE SUDANESE RED SEA. The possible identity of Actcea polyaeantha (Hell., 1861) with A. peronii (H. M.-Edw:, 1834) is a point requiring investigation. A study of certain growth-changes has been made in the 40 specimens of the common species Chlorodiella niger (Forsk.), as also in Trapezia cymodoce (Herbst), and less fully in Phymodius sculptus (A. M.-Edw.) and some others. Lupa alcochi (Nob., 1905), Herbstia corniculata, Klunz., 1906, and Macrophthahnus graeffei, A. M.-Edw., 1873, have hitherto been known only by their type-specimens, and of each of the two latter species the present collection contains the first recorded male example. Caphyra monticellii, Nob., and Lupa alcochi (Nob.), are here figured for the first time. Other interesting forms in the collection include Nucia pulchella (A. M.- Edw.), Cyphocarcinus minutus, A. M.-Edw., and Thalamita (Tlialamato'idei) tridens, var. spinigera (Nob.). "Workers on Red Sea Brachyura will find two publications indispensable as a starting-point, namely, Alcock's ' Materials for a Carcinological Fauna of India' and Nobili's ' Faune Oarcinologique de la Mer Rouge.' Nobili records all species known from the Red Sea at the time of his writing in 1906. Klunzinger the same year published his ' Spitz- und Spitz- mundkrabben des Roten Meeres,' seen by Nobili when the latter had •completed the body of his work, and reviewed briefly by him in an appendix. Klunzinger gives some useful descriptions and translations of some of Paulson's Russian descriptions. He considers Acanthonyx conso- brinus of Paulson as a synonym of A. elongalus, Miers, so that A'. consobnnusy A. M.-Edw., is to be deleted from Nobili's.enumeration, and he adds the following 7 species to the Red Sea fauna, namely, Simocarcinus camelus, Klunz., Herbstia corniculata, Klunz., Herbstia contiguicornis, Klunz., Heterocrypta petrosa, Klunz., Parthenope acuta Klunz., Eumedonus concictor, Bouv. et Seu., and Hyastenus brockii, de Man, of which the first five were new to science. Including the 8 species added by the present paper, the revised list in Table I. shows a total of 260 species recorded from the Red Sea. The Red Sea Brachyuran fauna forms an integral part of the Brachyuran fauna of the Indo-Pacific region. To emphasize this, I have associated with the following complete list of Red Sea species a table showing to what extent they have been recorded in certain representative districts within the region. It will be noted from the headings of the columns that the records are exhaustive for some districts, while for others they refer to a single important collection from the district named. R.

    Notopus Dorsipes (Linnaeus) in Singapore: First Record of the Brachyuran Superfamily Raninoidea (Crustacea: Decapoda) on the Sunda Shelf

    NATURE IN SINGAPORE 2012 5: 19–25 Date of Publication: 27 January 2012 © National University of Singapore NOTOPUS DORSIPES (LINNAEUS) IN SINGAPORE: FIRST RECORD OF THE BRACHYURAN SUPERFAMILY RANINOIDEA (CRUSTACEA: DECAPODA) ON THE SUNDA SHELF Martyn E. Y. Low1* and S. K. Tan2 1Department of Marine and Environmental Sciences, Graduate School of Engineering and Science University of the Ryukyus, 1 Senbaru, Nishihara, Okinawa 903-0213, Japan 2Raffles Museum of Biodiversity Research, National University of Singapore 6 Science Drive 2, Singapore 117546, Republic of Singapore (*Corresponding author: [email protected]) INTRODUCTION Recently, a brachyuran crab identified as Notopus dorsipes (Linnaeus, 1758), was found at Changi (north-east Singapore). This represents the first record of the superfamily Raninoidea de Haan, 1839, in Singapore and on the Sunda Shelf (Figs. 1, 2). The superfamily Raninoidea has a worldwide distribution and its members inhabit marine habitats from the intertidal zone to over 300 m deep (reviewed in Ahyong et al., 2009; see also Dawson & Yaldwyn, 1994). Fifty species of raninoids are currently assigned to 12 genera in six subfamilies (Ng et al., 2008). Notopus dorsipes belongs to a monotypic genus currently assigned to the subfamily Notopodinae Serène & Umali, 1972 (see Ng et al., 2008). Originally described as Cancer dorsipes by Linnaeus (1758), this species has had a confused nomenclatural history (see Holthuis, 1962). In order to stabilise the name Cancer dorsipes Linnaeus, Holthuis (1962: 55) designated a figure in Rumphius (1705: pl. 10: Fig. 3) as the lectotype of Notopus dorsipes (reproduced as Fig. 3). De Haan (1841) established the genus Notopus for Cancer dorsipes Linnaeus, the type species by monotypy.

New taxa for the area are represented by Karasawaia markgrafi new combination, Panopeus veintensis new species, and Tehuacana schweitzerae new species from the Lower Eocene of the El Bosque Formation. A review of previously reported species from these localities result in reclassification and identification of Neocallichirus sp. cf. N. rhinos, Raninoides treldenaesensis, Notopoides exiguus, and Orbitoplax nandachare. Ranina berglundi, Petrochirus sp. and Santeella lillyae are reported for the first time in southern Mexico. Occurrence of Calappilia hondoensis, Verrucoides stenohedra, and Viapinnixa alvarezi is confirmed with new specimens. Due to its poor preservation and incompleteness, specimens of Callianassidae, Diogenidae, Petrochirus sp., Portunidae, and Xaiva? sp. are only referred to high taxonomic levels.

Scale bars: 5mm. In Raninoidea (with the exception of Notopodinae, see below) the basal articles of the antennules and antennae are expanded and form the floor of the orbital cavities. The shape of the antennae and antennules matches and coin- cides with each other; their inner (medial) surfaces are excavated and together they form a passage for the exhalant waterflow. As such they form an extension of the oxystomian mouth (see below), bridging the distance between the tip of the oxystomian mouth and the sediment surface when buried.

Reklasifikacija kratkorepih rakova (Crustacea: Decapoda: Brachyura) odnosi se na preispitivanje cjelokupnog njihovog sustava, uklju~uju}i preispitivanje sistematskog statusa i polo`aja sviju recentnih i izumrlih svojti iznad razine roda kao i njihove ponovne opise. Uspostavljeno je mnogo novih vi{ih svojti, a ve}ini je izmijenjen sistematski status i polo`aj. Klju~ne rije~i: kratkorepi raci, Crustacea, Decapoda, Brachyura, sistematika, revizija, reklasi- fikacija INTRODUCTION Brachyuran crabs (Crustacea: Decapoda: Brachyura) are one of the most diverse animal groups at the infra-order level. They exhibit an outstanding diversity in the numbers of extant and extinct taxa at all categorical levels. Recently, especially dur- ing the past several decades, judging from the number of publications and new taxa described, the knowledge of their systematics has increased rapidly.

Other occurrences include previously described caridean shrimp, axiids, pagurids, and raninids. Mesostylus, a callia- nassid, is described for the first time from Danian deposits, all other occurrences being Late Cretaceous. The Oligocene decapod fauna from Gulf Coastal North America, including localities in Alabama and Mississippi, is most like that of Pacific Coastal Baja California and most different from Pacific coastal localities from Oregon northward.

BBiologie 1, Institut für Zoologie, Universität Regensburg, D-93040 Regensburg, Germany. CCorresponding author. Email: [email protected] Abstract. The enigmatic gall crab family Cryptochiridae has been proposed to be phylogenetically derived from within the Grapsidae (subsection Thoracotremata), based on the analysis of 16S mtDNA of one cryptochirid, Hapalocarcinus marsupialis, among a wide array of thoracotremes, including 12 species of the family Grapsidae. Here, we test the monophyly and phylogenetic position of Cryptochiridae using the same gene, but with an extended representation of cryptochirids spanning nine species in eight of 21 genera, in addition to further thoracotreme representatives. The results show that gall crabs form a highly supported monophyletic clade within the Thoracotremata, which evolved independently of grapsid crabs. Therefore, the Cryptochiridae should not be considered as highly modified Grapsidae, but as an independent lineage of Thoracotremata, deserving its current family rank. Further molecular and morphological studies are needed to elucidate the precise placement of the cryptochirids within the Eubrachyura.

TWEEDIE, « - — I V \ Reprint from the Bulletin of the Raffles Museum, Singapore, No. 22, April, 1950 The Fauna of the Cocos-Keeling Islands, Brachyura and Stomatopoda By M. W. F. TWEEDIE, M.A., C.M.Z.S. In collecting the reef fauna of the Cocos-Keeling islands Mr. Gibson-Hill paid particular attention to the crabs and stomatopods and presented to the Raffles Museum a very large, well preserved and well documented collection. The material was obtained without recourse to dredging or diving and is probably almost completely representative of the littoral and terrestrial fauna. The very valuable field and colour notes have been incor- porated in the accounts of species, placed in quotation marks. In these notes "seaward reef" indicates the reef on the outer side of the atoll, facing the ocean; "barrier" refers to the areas of reef between the islands which are partly uncovered at low tide and which form a barrier between the ocean and the lagoon. Unusually long series of some of the species were taken and this has enabled me to make some interesting observations which are appended at the end of the paper. As well as to the collector my thanks are due to Miss I. Gordon and Miss A. M. Buitendijk of the British Museum and the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie at Leiden for assistance in identifying some of the species. The abbreviations cb, acb, mcb (carapace breadth, anterior carapace breadth and maximum carapace breadth) have been used.
