CURRENT TAXONOMIC STATUS. — Junior subjective synonym of Geograpsus lividus (H. Milne Edwards, 1837) (see Kingsley 1880: 195).

LECTOTYPE (by present designation). — MNHN-IU-2000-10978 (= MNHN-B10978), ♂ 28.5 × 36.0 mm, patria ignota. — Original label: “ Graspsus brevipes M. Edw. ”.

REMARKS

The description did not mention how many specimens were examined to diagnose the species. Only one specimen was found in the MNHN collection but, as there is no assumption it is a holotype (i.e., fixed by monotypy), it is designated here as lectotype (Code, Recommendation 73F).
