SUPERFAMILY MAJOIDEA Samouelle, 1819

Family Epialtidae MacLeay, 1838 View in CoL

Subfamily Epialtinae MacLeay, 1838 View in CoL

Edmondson (1949) described four megalops from the Hawaiian Is. and suggested that one, “ Megalops alpha,” belonged to Xenocarcinus White, 1847 View in CoL ( Epialtidae View in CoL , Epialtinae), a genus that has never been recorded from the Hawaiian Is. Not enough information was given but the megalop may belong to Ocypode View in CoL (J.A. Cuesta, personal communication).
