Cancer teatae Curtiss, 1938 [óura pape]
Palaemon lar Fabricius, 1798: 402 View in CoL .
Cancer teatae Curtiss, 1938: 162 .
While several species of Macrobrachium View in CoL are known from French Polynesia ( Marquet 1991; Keith & Vigneux 2002; Poupin & Juncker 2010), the description of the Tahiti river prawn (the size was recorded as “five inches long” ( Curtiss 1938: 161) with the second pereiopods just as long, makes it clear that Cancer teatae is Macrobrachium lar ( Fabricius, 1798) (Palaemonidae) View in CoL . Holthuis (1980: 96) had already listed C. teatae as a junior synonym of M. lar View in CoL . This identification is further substantiated with Curtiss’s Tahitian name, óura pape, being reported in Keith et al. (2002)
