Remark

This crab is very common in the Lesser Antilles ( Poupin 2018) but still unreported from Brazil. Its record from French Guiana is from a unique specimen examined by Rathbun (1918) in MNHN collection. A label error is possible and, in the future, it will be interesting to confirm the presence of this land crab in sGuianas.
