TY - JOUR AU1 - Abele, Lawrence G. AB - THE IDENTITY OF SESARMA HANSENI RATHBUN, 1897, A SUPPOSEDLY WEST INDIAN SPECIES, WITH S. DEHAANI H. MILNE EDWARDS, 1853, FROM THE WEST PACIFIC (DECAPODA, GRAPSIDAE) BY LAWRENCE G. ABELE Florida State University, Department of Biological Science, Tallahassee, Florida, 32306, U.S.A. INTRODUCTION The status of several species of Sesarma from the western Atlantic has recently been reviewed. Chace & Hobbs (1969) presented diagnoses and illustrations of the West Indian species and showed that Se.rarma americanum De Saussure, 1853 is a senior synonym of S. tampicense Rathbun, 1914, rather than a junior synonym of S. angu.rtipe.r Dana, 1852 as suggested by Rathbun (1918). Abele (1972) reviewed the status of five nominal species of Sesarminae from the western Atlan- tic. He concluded that S. ang1£JtipeJ Dana, 1852 is a senior synonym of S. mier.rii iheringi Ra?thbun, 1918, rather than a senior synonym of S. roberti H. Milne Ed- wards, 1853 as suggested by Hartnoll (1965). The present report examines the status of Se.rarma han.reni Rathbun, 1897. Rathbun (1897) described the new species S. han.reni based on a single male specimen in the Copenhagen Museum. The only data accompanying the specimen . indicate it came from "Vestindien".
