Geosesarma De Man, 1892

Castro, Peter, 2011, Catalog of the anomuran and brachyuran crabs (Crustacea: Decapoda: Anomura, Brachyura) of the Hawaiian Islands 2947, Zootaxa 2947 (1), pp. 1-154 : 120

Genus “ Geosesarma De Man, 1892 ”

The occurrence in the Hawaiian Is. of Geosesarma angustifrons (A. Milne-Edwards, 1869) [not in Geosesarma , possibly in its own genus (P.K.L. Ng, personal communication)], a fresh-water crab known from the southeastern Pacific islands, is questionable. It was described (as Sesarma angustifrons ) from material supposedly collected in the Hawaiian Is. (A. Milne-Edwards 1869b: 26). An additional specimen “probably” from the Hawaiian Is. ( Rathbun 1906: 840) could not be located by Edmondson (1959: 183). No other specimens have ever been collected from the archipelago. The species was nevertheless listed as occurring in the Hawaiian Is. by McLaughlin et al. (2005).
