Grapsus thukuhar Owen, 1839: 80 View in CoL , pl. 24, figs. 3, 3 a [type locality: O‘ahu; type material: destroyed ( Crane 1975: 324)].

Additional Hawaiian Is. records:

Pachygrapsus parallelus Randall, 1840: 127 View in CoL (part?) [type locality: “mouth of the Columbia River and Sandwich Is.; ” holotype, apparent paratypes: ANSP CA3545 ].

Metopograpsus thukuhar ( Owen, 1839) View in CoL — H. Milne Edwards 1853: 165 [O‘ahu]. — Stimpson 1858b: 101 [Hawai‘i]; 1907: 114 [H.I.]. — Streets 1877: 114 [H.I.]. — Lenz 1901: 470 [O‘ahu]. — Edmondson 1959: 166, figs. 6b, 7b [O‘ahu, H.I.]. — Banerjee 1960: 186, fig. 6 f, g [Hawai‘i, H.I.]. — Forest & Guinot 1961: 155, figs. 162, 167 [holotype of M. eydouxi H.

Metopograpsus messor ( Forskål, 1775) View in CoL — Edmondson 1959: 166, figs. 6b, 7b [O‘ahu [H.I.].

Remarks. Hawaiian Is. records of Metopograpsus messor ( Forskål, 1775) most probably represent M. thukuhar

(see above).
