Hypocolpus diverticulatus (Strahl, 1861)

Fig. 76

Material examined

MAURITIUS • 1 unsexed (41.1× 30.4. dry specimen); appears in the 1910 catalogue, so its collection date is earlier; MNCN20.04/00163 .

Remarks

Sex of the specimens could not be determined. The cheliped that accompanies this specimen obviously does not belong to it, being a typical Ocypodidae male chela.

For identification, see also Serène (1984).
