8 Lawrence W. Powers descriptive references, geographical and bathymetric distributions, habitats, and bibliography with annotations and comments. Species are arranged alphabetically vi^ithin genera and subgenera, as are genera within subfamilies. Geographical ranges are based on published sources. If the identification of a species or locality is doubtful, the localitj^ is preceded by a question mark. Place names are listed from north to south and east to west; eastern Atlantic localities follow western Atlantic; eastern Pacific and Indo-Pacific localities are cited last. The presence of a species is not assumed in the absence of collection records from large gaps in otherwise continuous distributions. For example, many species are listed for the Carolinas and the east coast of Florida, without indicating presence in Georgian waters. Bathymetric ranges are presented in meters and in fathoms, in order to facilitate comparisons wth new data as they appear in the literature. Depths are omitted for semiterrestrial and terrestrial crabs. Habitat descriptions include substrate types, terrain features (land crabs), associations with other organisms (commensals, parasites), type of water (marine, brackish), and general biotope (estuarine, marsh, rocky intertidal, offshore benthic, etc.). Terrestrial habitats are usually described in greater detail than aquatic habitats. Remarks include literature citations on all aspects of the biolog}^ of the species. In many cases, the available literatvire may consist only of one or a few published descriptions or citations of the species. Regional lists include faunal surveys in the Gulf of Mexico area. These lists may include data on the habitats, seasonal occurrence, and biology of the crabs, or they may list only the species names. Species identifications were usually verified by a specialist; most of the lists were published. Other remarks include discussions of taxonomic revisions, identification problems, comparisons with other related species, records of ovigerous females, and ecological notes. CLASSIFICATION A review of attempts to classify decapod crustaceans, including arrangements of brachyuran families, was presented by Glaessner (1969) in Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology. The scheme adopted for the Treatise, a compromise of paleontological and zoological considerations, is used in the present catalogue. Table I presents an outline of the extant families of Brachyura as recognized by Glaessner (1969) and modified for the present work. The family Hapalocarcinidae is not included in Glaessner (1969) and the Palicidae is listed within the Brachyrhyncha as Superfamily Uncertain. Fenner Chace, in a review of a preliminary'- manuscript of this catalogue, suggested the placement of the hapalocarcinids as a separate section, although Verrill (1908, p. 426) proposed the inclusion of these crabs as "a peculiar superfamily group," apparently among the Oxystomata. Chace also suggested the inclusion of the Palicidae among the Xanthoidea as a matter of convenience. The freshwater family of crabs, Potamidae, has been revised by Bott (1955b) and separated into two families, the Pseudothelphusidae and the Trichodactylidae. The Prosopidae
