PARALECTOTYPES . — MNHN-IU-2000-1100 (= MNHN-B3426), 1 ♀ 13.7 × 15.8 mm , same data as lectotype . — MNHN-IU-2000-3427 (= MNHN-B3427), 1 ovig. ♀ 14.7 × 15.8 mm , 1 ♀ 13.0 × 16.9 mm , same data as lectotype . PRESERVATION OF THE PARALECTOTYPES . — Dry. REMARKS Henri Milne Edwards (1837) indicated that the species was from the Antilles. His description mentioning at least two colour morphs (yellow with red marks; and almost entirely red) reveals that he has examined several specimens. The material collected by Plée in Martinique , his country of birth, most likely belongs to the type series according to the entry date “1826” of Plée’s material mentioned in the CAA (see also Bauchot et al. 1990: 117 ; Appendix). The specimen of “14 lignes” (1 ligne = 0.2255 cm ), thus measuring 31.5 mm carapace length, cited by H. Milne Edwards (1837: 85) is no longer present in the MNHN collection, and all the MNHN specimens are smaller. The only male in the Plée material was selected as lectotype .
