The shallow-water genus Panulirus is re- garded as the most advanced of the Palin- uridae (spiny lobsters) and contains the greatest number of species, many resulting from post-Pliocene radiations into equato- rial regions (George and Main, 1967; George, 1974). George and Main (1967) established an evolutionary sequence of four species-groups for the 19 extant species of the genus Pan- ulirus. The four groups are shown in Table 1 which is the correct version of the adult species-groups of Table 3 of George and Main (1967). Due to a misprint in publi- cation, Panulirus gracilis Streets and P. in- flatus (Bouvier) appeared in Group IV in- stead of Group III. This correction was con- firmed by personal communication with Dr. Ray George (60 Lucy Victoria Avenue, Australind, Western Australia 6230, Aus- tralia). The species-groups of Panulirus of George and Main (1967) were based on the com- parative morphology of the second and third maxillipeds, which have fully developed ex- opods in all other palinurid genera. Within the genus Panulirus, species with the most reduced exopods (Group IV) are regarded as the most recently evolved. George and Main's (1967) theories on the chronology and sequence of speciation in Panulirus have
