Brachyuran Crabs collected at Curaçao

In 1920 a report ¹) on Dr. BOEKE’S collection of crabs and shrimps from Curaçao and other Dutch West Indian Islands was published. Dr. VAN DER HORST’S collection forms an important addition to the fauna of Curaçao, especially as to the Xanthids and Majids, or spider crabs. Four new species were discovered among the small forms, and have already been briefly described ²). They are more fully described and figured below.
