Treatment

Gecarcinus lateralis Fréminville View in CoL in Guérin, 1832

Gecarcinus lateralis View in CoL – Rathbun 1918: 358, French Guiana [“ Guiana specimen” in Paris Museum]. — Tricart & Foubert 2000: tab. 1, French Guiana [list].

Distribution/Habitat

WA (? French Guiana as southern limit); terrestrial.

Remark

This crab is very common in the Lesser Antilles ( Poupin 2018) but still unreported from Brazil. Its record from French Guiana is from a unique specimen examined by Rathbun (1918) in MNHN collection. A label error is possible and, in the future, it will be interesting to confirm the presence of this land crab in sGuianas.
