Two species, Uca minor ( Owen, 1839) and U. tetragonon (Herbst, 1790) , were each listed once from the Hawaiian Is. (respectively by Owen 1839, as Gelasimus minor Owen, 1839 , and Kinsley 1880a, as Gelasimus tetragonon Herbst, 1790 ) but never recorded since (see Rathbun 1906; Edmondson 1925, 1962b; Crane 1975). The type of U. minor , with the type locality given as “Oahu, Sandwich Isles” ( Owen 1839: 79, pl. 24, fig. 2, 2 a) was destroyed (see Crane 1975: 323).
