03E098223F002072FF37FABBFE6BFDDB.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Grapsus marmoratus is reported by White (1847: 39) and he records specimens from Malta, Marseilles, Nice and Naples. For G. marmoratus, however, White does not insert the suffix n. s. after the species name; he did not regard it as new. Furthermore, specimens from Malta, Marseilles, Nice and Naples (White 1847: 39) do not possess registrations numbers. But in White’s handwritten “ Catalogue of Crustacea 349 – 694 ”, under registration number 352 the following is noted: -	en	Clark, Paul F.

03E098223F002072FF37FABBFE6BFDDB.taxon	materials_examined	In White (1847: 39), the Nice and Marseilles material of Dr Leach is listed under Grapsus marmoratus. The species description for H. marmoratus H. Milne Edwards ends with locality data “ — Amérique septentrionale ” translated to mean Northern America. Due to its Mediterranean records, G. marmoratus White (1847: 39) should not be synonymised with H. marmoratus. The Marseilles specimen in the dry collection is extent, was examined, is a male with a carapace width of 35.1 mm and is indeed Pachygrapsus marmoratus (Fabricius, 1787). Annls Sci. nat. 20 (4): 193 cites “ Grapsus marmoratus White, Catal. du Mus. Britann., Crust., p. 41 (1847). ” This reference by H. Milne Edwards to White (1847) is probably Cyclogapsus marmoratus, n. s. on page 41, a male specimen from North America (Sitka), e. g., Alaska. For Cyclogapsus marmoratus, Ng et al. (2008: 227) just lists it as a nomen nudum. According to Rathbun (1918: 268), Hemigrapsus nudus (Dana, 1851) has a distribution from Sitka, Alaska to Gulf of California. Consequently, Cyclogapsus marmoratus, n. n. White (1847: 41) is now also synonymised under H. nudus.	en	Clark, Paul F.
