CURRENT TAXONOMIC STATUS. — Junior subjective synonym of Grapsus grapsus (Linnaeus, 1758, pro parte) (H. Milne Edwards 1853: 133 [167]; A. Milne-Edwards & Bouvier 1900: 111; Alcock 1900: 392; Manning & Chace 1990: 64).

PARALECTOTYPE. — MNHN-IU-2000-1102 (= MNHN-B3414), 1 ♂ 29.2 × 32.7 mm, same data as lectotype.

REMARKS

The origin of the species is the Antilles. The original sample MNHN-B3414 with two dry specimens (2 males) from Haiti is presumed to belong to the type series, the collector Ricord being known to have collected material in this region and sent to the MNHN. In the CAA, Ricord (see Appendix) is listed as a collector of material from Cuba with two entries in 1833.
