Genus Pachygrapsus Randall, 1840 View in CoL

The description of Pachygrapsus crassipes Randall, 1840 , gives the Hawaiian Is. as the type locality, but this species, only known from the northwestern and northeastern Pacific and from the Tropical Eastern Pacific region, has never been recorded from the archipelago. The type locality is therefore erroneous, the type material being probably from California (see Rathbun 1906: 840; Edmonson 1959: 169; Poupin et al. 2005: 11).
