Milne Edwards, 1834 Panopeus herbstii H. Milne Edwards, 1834: 403 . Material examined. None. Distribution. Western Atlantic—USA (Massachusetts to Florida), Gulf of Mexico, Antilles, Caribbean Sea, north of South America, and Brazil ( Paraíba , Pernambuco , Bahia , Rio de Janeiro , São Paulo , Paraná , Santa Catarina) ( Rathbun 1930 ; Coelho & Ramos 1972 ; Powers 1977 ; Williams 1983 , 1984 ). Remarks. Previous records on the coast of São Paulo include “Piassaguera, Santos” as forma obesa ( Rathbun 1930 ), probably a spelling mistake of Piaçaguera, a locality close to Cubatão. Initially, Panopeus herbstii was recognized as four forms, being herbstii the typical form; another occurrence on the Brazilian coast included forma crassa , not the typical one ( Rathbun 1930 ). Posteriorly, these taxa were elevated to full species status and only P. lacustris and P. austrobesus , which included crassa and obesa varieties, occur in Brazil ( Williams 1983 ). It seems that the relationship among species attributed to the genus Panopeus is unclear ( Thoma et al . 2014 ). Thus, we conjecture that the occurrence of this species in São Paulo , or even in Brazil , was confused with the other forms or varieties.
