Family Ocypodidae Rafinesque, 1815 View in CoL

Genus Ocypode Weber, 1795

Ocypode gaudichaudii H. Milne Edwards & Lucas, 1843 View in CoL , a Tropical Eastern Pacific species, appears to have been erroneously recorded from the Hawaiian Is. by Cano (1879b), with Rathbun (1906: 834) pointing out that Cano’s record “needs verification.” (also see Edmondson, 1962b).

Edmondson (1949) suggested that one of four megalops he described from the Hawaiian Is., “ Megalops beta,” was “allied” to megalops originally described as Monolepis orientalis ( Dana 1852b: 492, pl. 31, fig. 5a–g) and M. inermis View in CoL ( Dana 1852b: 492, pl. 31, fig. 6), Monolepis View in CoL being a junior synonym of Ocypode View in CoL . Edmondson’s larvae have indeed been identified as possibly belonging to a species of Ocypode View in CoL (J.A. Cuesta, personal communication).
