Family Sesarmidae Dana, 1851 View in CoL

Genus Armases Abele, 1992

(*) Armases rubripes Rathbun, 1897

Sesarma trapezium Dana, 1852b: 354, 1577 View in CoL , pl. 22, fig. 8 [type locality: “Sandwich Is.;” type material presumed lost].

Additional Hawaiian Is. records:

Sesarma (Holometopus) trapezium Dana, 1852 View in CoL — Rathbun 1906: 841 [Dana’s record], Edmondson 1946: 307 [Dana’s record].

Metasesarma trapezium (Dana, 1852) — Edmondson 1959: 186, fig. 18 [Dana’s record].

Remarks. Sesarma trapezium was described from the Hawaiian Is. but not reported from the archipelago or elsewhere since, while Armases rubripes Rathbun, 1897 , is a western Atlantic species. It is thus possible that the Hawaiian Is. locality of the type material is erroneous. The name Sesarma rubripes Rathbun, 1897 , was given priority over the name Sesarma trapezium Dana, 1852 , by the ICZ (see Ng et al. 2008: 220, 223, note 2).
