and Abele and Efford (1971) and Efford (1971) recognized 17 species of sand crabs, genus Lepidopa, from both coasts of the Americas and adjacent islands, including six species from the western Atlantic. Lepidopa benedicti Schmitt, 1935, and L. websteri Benedict, 1903, are the only western Atlantic species known from the nearshore waters of the southeastern United States (Efford, 1971). In the Gulf of Mexico, these species are sympatric at least from Grand Isle, Louisiana, to Petit Bois Island, Mississippi (Efford, 1971; Felder, 1973). In the Atlantic, L. benedicti is reported only as far north as central eastern Florida (Gore and Van Dover, 1980) and L. websteri only as far south as Sapelo Island, Georgia (Kurata, 1970; Williams, 1984). The four other western Atlantic species, L. dexterae Abele and Efford, 1971, L. distincta Gomes, 1968, L. richmondi Benedict, 1903, and L. venusta Stimpson, 1860, are known as adults only from the Caribbean coast of Panama, the eastern Antilles, and the eastern coast of South America (Abele and Efford, 1971; Efford, 1971; Gore and Van Dover, 1980). Information on the larval development of species of Lepidopa is scanty. Johnson and Lewis (1942) described zoea I, and Knight (1970) the entire
