102 Lawrence W. Powers Rico; St. Thomas, Virgin Islands; Antigua; Barbados; Pernambuco to Sao Paulo, Brazil. Depth: low tide mark and shallow waters. Habitat: on rocks and coral reefs. Remarks: Color and habitat in Brazil were described by Fausto Filho (1974). Panopeus herbstii H. Milne Edwards, 1834 (Hist. Nat. Crust., vol. 1, p. 403) Common Name: Common Mud Crab Hay & Shore, 1918, p. 437, pi. 34, fig. 9; Rathbun, 1930, p. 335, text-figs. 52-53, pis. 156-157; Chace, 1940, p. 34; Ryan, 1956, p. 147, text-figs. 4B, 5B, 9A, pi. IC; Edmondson, 1962, p. 277; Williams, 1965, p. 196, figs. 180, 183M; Chace & Hobbs, 1969, p. 154, figs. 46c, 47; Felder, 1973a, p. 69, pi. 9, fig. 21. Range: Bermuda; Bahamas; Massachusetts to south Florida; Florida Keys and Dry Tortugas; west coast of Florida to Veracruz, Mexico; north and south coasts of Cuba; Jamaica; Haiti; Puerto Rico; Virgin Islands; Antigua to Barbados; Ti'inidad; Islas Los Roques; Netherlands Antilles; Belize; Caribbean coast of Panama to Venezuela; Rio Parahyba do Norte, Brazil to Uruguay; in Pacific— Hawaiian Islands. Depth: intertidal to 22m (12 fm). Habitat: muddy bottoms of bays and estuaries; shell, rock, and stone bottoms; oyster beds; among mangroves and in banks of tidal streams; burrows in mud banks and under stones or shells; on coral and rock reefs; brackish tide pools; sandy beaches with rocks. Remarks: Larval development has been described by Costlow and Bookhout (1961a) and Costlow, Bookhout and Monroe (1962). Sulkin (1973) reported on larval depth regulation and Sandifer (1973) gathered data on larval ecology in Chesapeake Bight. Schwartz and Cargo (1960) recorded this crab in Virginia and Maryland. Life history studies include those of Ryan (1956) in Chesapeake Bay and Warner (1969) in Jamaica. Rathbun (1930) listed three forms, in addition to the typical form, of this species and provided distribution records for each. Furtado-Ogawa (1972) noted individual variations and habitat differences for this species in Brazil. Williams (1965) provided a summary of the many studies on this crab. Relationships with oysters and role as a molluscan predator are included in reports by McDermott and Flower (1953), Ryan (1956), Menzel and Nichy (1958) and McDermott (1960). Perkins (1975) describes the fine structure of a haplosporid parasite of this crab and Humes (1941a) noted the presence of a parasitic barnacle. Forward (1977) studied shadow responses of the larv'^ae. Physiological studies include reports on antennule chemosensitivity (Hazlett, 1971), coagulation (Morrison and Morrison, 1952), thoracic neurosection (Maynard, 1961a, 1961b; Maynard and Maynard, 1962), gill area (Gray, 1957), respiration in relation to habitat (Ayres, 1938; Teal, 1959), amino acid metabolism (Boone and Claybrook, 1977), and respiration and metabolism (Leffler, 1973). Regional lists include Florida (Wass, 1955; Dragovich and Kelly, 1964; Abele, 1970; Menzel, 1971; Subrahmanyam et al, 1976), Mississippi (Richmond, 1968; Christmas and Langley, 1973), Louisiana (Behre, 1950; Hoese and Valentine, 1972), Texas (Leary, 1967), and the northwestern Gulf of Mexico (Fotheringham and Brunenmeister, 1975).
Crabs of the Gulf oj Mexico 103 Panopeus occidentalis Saussure, 1857 (Rev. Mag. Zool., ser. 2, vol. 9: 502) Rathbun, 1930, p. 348, text-fig. 55, pi. 161; Rathbun, 1933, p. 61; Williams, 1965, p. 198, figs. 181,183N. Range: Bermuda; Bahamas; North Carolina to southeast Florida; Florida Keys and Dry Tortugas; west coast of Florida; north coast of Cuba; Jamaica; Hispaniola; Puerto Rico; Virgin Islands; Guadeloupe; Old Providence Island (Carib.); Curasao; Trinidad; Colon, Panama to Santa Catarina, Brazil. Depth: intertidalto 18 m (to 10 fm). Habitat: sand, shell, rock, and gravel bottoms; among ascidians, sponges, and seaweed; on mangrove roots; under rocks; on pilings and piers. Remarks: Although both of the environmental forms listed by Rathbun (1930) were recorded from Louisiana by Behre (1950), Felder (1973a) doubts the validity of the Grand Isle records and believes that they may represent P. herbstii. Williams (1965) provided a good summary of data on this crab. Listed from Florida by Tabb and Manning (1961) and by Lyons et al. (1971). De Oliveira (1940) described specimens from Brazil and provided notes on life history; Furtado-Ogawa (1972) noted individual variations and habitat differences in Brazil. Panopeus rugosus A. Milne Edwards, 1880 (Crust. Reg. Mex., p. 314) Rathbun, 1930, p. 353, pis. 162-163. Range: Florida Keys and Dry Tortugas; west and northwest coasts of Florida; north coast of Cuba; Haiti; Virgin Islands; Puerto Rico; Honduras to Nicaragua; ^ Curagao; Bahia to Santa Catarina, Brazil. ^ • Depth: low tide mark to 51 m (to 28 fm). '] Habitat: sand, shell, rock, and coral bottoms; coral reefs; on pilings. I Remarks: listed from northwest Florida by Wass (1955) * \^ Panopeus turgidus Rathbun, 1930 (Bull. U.S. Nat. Mus. 152: 364) - _ Rathbun, 1930, p.364,pl. 166;Felder, 1973a,p. 68,pl.9, fig. 18. Range: northwest coast of Florida to Texas. [. Depth: near shore, shallow waters. K Habitat: bay and near-marine waters; found on or among rocks, shells, debris, p- and vegetation. f. Remarks: Listed from northwest Florida by Wass (1955) and from Louisiana j^ by Behre (1950). Abele (1970) collected a specimen from northwest Florida I and Fenner Chace, Jr. of the USNM confirmed its identity by comparison with the type, suggesting it was similar to the genus Eurypanopeus. Abele (1970) listed it in his thesis as Eurypanopeus turgidus and this was repeated in the list by Menzel (1971). As indicated under this latter name, this present listing will continue to use Panopeus turgidus until a definitive study or revision is available. Paractaea Guinot, 1969 Paractaea rujopunctala nodosa (Simpson, 1860) (Ann. Lye. Nat. Hist. New York 7: 203) As Aclaea rufopunctata nodosa—Ralhbun, 1930, p. 257, pi. 105, figs. 1-2;
