Genus Cronius Stimpson, 1860 View in CoL View at ENA
Type species. Portunus ruber Lamarck, 1818 View in CoL [Type locality: Brazil] .
Remarks. Cronius currently encompass two species, the amphi-Atlantic C. ruber ( Lamarck, 1818) and C. edwardsii ( Lockington, 1877) (EP) . This later species has been resurrected by Mantelatto et al. (2009) for specimens from the Panamanian Pacific coast. The genus had a third species, C. tumidulus , reassigned to its genus of origin, Achelous , by Mantelatto et al. (2009) (see above under Achelous tumidulus ). Cronius also includes one fossil species, C. obscurus Rathbun, 1945 (claw only) from the Miocene of Fiji ( Rathbun 1945).
