Remarks. Coelho Filho & Coelho (1998) described 3 new species of Chasmocarcinus Rathbun, 1898 from the Brazilian coast: C. hirsutipes , C. meloi , and C. arcuatus . The two latter have been reported from Bahia. Material of C. arcuatus from this state was collected in 1962 during the Calypso Expedition, at two stations (1823 and 1826) around Abrolhos, southern Bahia. These specimens were discovered in lots of the material analyzed by Rodrigues da Costa (1968) when describing another species, C. peresi (see Coelho Filho & Coelho 1998).
