West African Brachyuran Crabs (Crustacea: Decapoda) Introduction Raymond B. Manning and L. B. Holthuis This report is based primarily on collections made in the Gulf of Guinea in 1964 and 1965 during two cruises of the University of Miami Research Vessel John Elliott Pilhbury. Material from the Pillsbury collections has been supplemented by other brachyuran crabs from West Africa in the collections of the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden, and the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. Our original intent was to prepare a list of the Brachyura obtained during the two Pillsbury cruises, a job that we anticipated would be quite simple, as the West African Brachyuran fauna has been investigated in detail in the last 30 years. In 1951, A. Capart published a beautifully illustrated volume on the West African crabs collected by the Belgian Oceanographic Expedition, 1948- 1949, aboard the Noordende III. Capart's study was overshadowed by the publication in 1956 by Th. Monod of a review of West African crabs. Monod's work, a monumental compilation of information on West African Brachyura, was illustrated with almost 900 figures. It remains the basic tool in the study of West African crabs. Raymond B. Manning, Department of Invertebrate Zoology, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560. L. B. Holthuis, Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Postbus 9517, 2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands. These reports were soon followed by others based on smaller collections, those by M. Rossignol (1957 and 1962) on decapods from the Congo region and by D. Guinot and A. Ribeiro (1962) on collections from the Cape Verde Islands and Angola, as well as several other smaller reports. Material collected by the Calypso in 1956 from West African localities between Spanish Sahara and Gabon on the mainland, as well as from the offshore islands of the Gulf of Guinea, Principe, Sao Tome, and Annobon, formed the basis of an important report by J. Forest and D. Guinot in 1966. Realizing that the West African tropical brachyuran fauna was one of the best known in the world, we anticipated few difficulties in preparing a report on the materials collected by the Pillsbury. As our study progressed, however, we continually encountered problems that demonstrated that our original optimism was largely unfounded. Whenever comparative study material was available in our collections, we compared specimens from West African localities with those from other areas. Several of the common species in the Gulf of Guinea have in the past been identified with European-Mediterranean species. Thus Ethusa mascarone, Inachus dorsettensis, Macropodia rostrata, and Parthenope macrochelos, among others, all have been included in the tropical fauna by Monod (1956), as well as other authors.
