Subfamily Thalamitinae View in CoL Paul'son, 1875

Genus Charybdis De Haan, 1833

Subgenus Charybdis (Charybdis) De Haan, 1833

Charybdis (Charybdis) japonica (A. Milne-Edwards, 1861) View in CoL was recorded from two specimens by Rathbun (1906: 872, as Charybdis japonica View in CoL ) but possibly as an error (see Edmondson 1954, Sakai 1976). It was nevertheless listed by McLaughlin et al. (2005) as occurring in the Hawaiian Is. It has been introduced to Australia and New Zealand ( Ahyong & Wilkens 2011).
