            <p> Portunus sayi (Gibbes, 1850)</p>
            <p>(Fig. 4C)</p>
            <p>Diagnosis. Carapace nearly twice wider than long, somewhat tumid, smooth and polished to naked eye, finely granulate under magnification. Frontal region with six teeth; median teeth small but about equally advanced with submedian teeth, lateral frontal teeth 1 rounded and larger than median teeth and submedian teeth. Posterior anterolateral tooth acute, strong, about as long as space occupied by 2 preceding teeth and directed outwards. Chelipeds of moderate length, somewhat larger in males than in females; merus with three to four stout, curved spines in front, none spine behind; carpus with two spines, a strong one at inner angle of carpus and a smaller spine near distal end of outer margin; a noticeable ridge above lateral margin. Swimming legs unarmed (modified from Rathbun, 1930 and Williams, 1984).</p>
            <p>Measurements. Male, cl 31, cw 61; ovigerous female, cl 31, cw 64 (Williams, 1984). Male, cl 29, cw 55.6, width at anterior base of lateral spine 47.7; female, cl 37.1, cw 76.1, width at anterior base of lateral spine 62.7 (Rathbun, 1930).</p>
            <p>Color. Chocolate brown or purplish with cloudings of olive green or light brown and irregular white or flesh-colored spots; orange margins on spines of chelipeds (Williams, 1984).</p>
            <p> Geographic distribution.   Western Atlantic: Canada (Nova Scotia, 43°N) to USA (North Carolina, South Carolina), Gulf of Mexico (USA, Florida to Mexico,  Cancun ), Guyana, Bermuda, Brazil (Paraíba) (Melo and Veloso, 2005)  . </p>
            <p> Habitat. Normally this is a pelagic form living among floating  Sargassum , but it is occasionally carried into coastal areas by currents (Williams, 1984). </p>
            <p> Type locality. South Carolina, USA . </p>

            <p> Portunus ventralis (A. Milne-Edwards, 1879)</p>
            <p>(Fig. 4D)</p>
            <p>Material examined. Sald #1655, 1 male (cw 1.7; cl</p>
            <p>1.1), DOUFPE 7215.</p>
            <p>Diagnosis. Carapace short pubescent and with coarse granulation. Frontal region with six teeth; median teeth smaller than submedian teeth; median teeth almost semicircular or with arcuate edge; lateral frontal teeth 1 blunt and considerably shorter than submedian teeth. Posterior anterolateral tooth broad at base, as long as the space occupied by the three adjacent teeth, and curved a little forward. Chelipeds of moderate length; merus with four spines, two on distal half of the inner margin and much longer and stronger than the pair of spines on the proximal half; at the distal end of the outer margin there is no spine; carpus with two spines, one at the inner angle and one on the outer side, the first longer and stronger then the last one. Merus of swimming leg unarmed (modified from Rathbun, 1930).</p>
            <p>Measurements. Female, cl 14.2, cw 27.4, width at base of lateral spine 22.2 (Rathbun, 1930).</p>
            <p>Color. On the carapace a large postero-lateral area and a postorbital triangle are slate-color, as are also the greater part of the upper surface of the merus of the cheliped, the infero-proximal two-thirds of outer face of manus and the basal half of fingers; rest of surface a sort of ecru drab and buff pink; fingers distally almost salmon buff with extreme tips nearly white. The ambulatory legs have areas of gray on the middle portion of merus, carpus and propodus, these patches being much less extensive on the third ambulatory, where there is also a small patch of maroon on the same three articles; a maroon spot on merus and propodus of swimming leg; remainder of this propodus as well as the whole of the dactylus transparent (modified from Rathbun, 1930).</p>
            <p>Geographic distribution. Western Atlantic: USA (Georgia, Florida), Gulf of Mexico (USA, Florida to Mexico, Cancun), Antilles, Venezuela, Brazil (Rocas Atoll, Rio Grande do Norte to Rio de Janeiro) (Melo, 1996; Coelho-Filho, 2006).</p>
            <p>Habitat. From intertidal zone to depths of 25 m. On sand bottom on sandy beaches. Also in tide pools (Melo, 1996).</p>
            <p>  Type locality. Guadeloupe,  Caribbean Sea . </p>
