Dactyl of left cheliped black on inner and outer faces, margins bright red; dactyl of right cheliped uniformly bright red; tip and cutting edges of fingers white. Ambulatory legs uniformly bright red; claws of dactyls black. Abdomen cream to white.</p> <p>REMARKS</p> <p>Calcinus californiensis is morphologically close to C. mclaughlinae n. sp. and, although this still must be proved by examination of living coloration,specimens of C. californiensis from west coast of Baja California (Haig et al. 1970; Ball &amp; Haig 1974) and Socorro I. (Hernández Aguilera 2002) could belong in fact to C. mclaughlinae n. sp. Differences between the two are discussed under the latter species. The former is also morphologically close to C. explorator Boone, 1930 but the two can be easily separated by differences in coloration (Figs 1; 3). In C. californiensis, the distal white ring on the ocular peduncle is larger than in C. explorator; the chelipeds are black with bright red margins; the P2 and P3 are red. In C. explorator, the chelipeds are totally black, including the margins; the P2 and P3 meri, carpi, propodi are black; the dactyls are orange with a large black median ring, and a narrow black proximal ring. In the absence of coloration, the two species can usually be separated by the armature of the ocular acicles, with several spines in C. californiensis, whereas there is one in C. explorator; the P3 propodus with an upper margin less angled and the upper half of the outer face less concave in C. explorator. However, because of intraspecific variations, identification of preserved museum specimens based exclusively on morphology is not always possible. For this reason, a few specimens (marked with an asterisk under Other material examined) are herein only tentatively attributed to C. californiensis.</p> <p>Calcinus chilensis (H. Milne Edwards, 1836) (Fig. 2)</p> <p>Pagurus chilensis H.

Callao, 2 ♂♂ 7.5-7.6 mm (USNM 1024522).</p> <p>DISTRIBUTION. — Chile (unknown locality),? Peru.</p> <p>HABITAT. — Not known, probably intertidal.</p> <p>DIAGNOSIS</p> <p>Ocular acicle terminating in spine. Anterodorsal plate of branchiostegite smooth, with one or two spinules subproximally. Upper margin of right chela smooth. Outer face of left chela excavated on lower half, convex on upper half (Fig. 2B). Left P3 unknown. Ventrodistal pilosity of right P2 and P3 similar, sparse (Fig. 2D). Propodus of right P3 with upper margin and upper half of outer face rounded; dactyl 0.75 times length of propodus, with eight spines on ventral margin. Telson with posterior lobes each with single terminal spine.</p> <p>Coloration</p> <p>In life, unknown. The coloration illustrated by H. Milne Edwards (1837: pl. 22, fig. 9), herein reproduced (Fig. 2A), is probably based on a preserved specimen.</p> <p>REMARKS</p> <p>Calcinus chilensis is known only by the incomplete, poorly preserved type specimen (MNHN-Pg 635), for which the exact locality where it was collected is unknown. Haig (1955) was the last to mention this taxon for the Chilean fauna, and suggested that type locality, “ Chile ”, is possibly a labeling error. The taxon has not been listed in more recent reports of Chilean fauna (Retamal 1981; Retamal &amp; Jara 2002).</p> <p>Calcinus chilensis can be distinguished from all other eastern Pacific species by the shape of the left chela, which is elongated and excavated on the lower half of the outer face (Fig. 2B). Unfortunately, with only one specimen, it is impossible to evaluate the variability, if any, of this character. In other morphological characters, C. chilensis is similar to C. explorator. These two could possibly be conspecific, but without live coloration data this is impossible to determine.</p> <p>Two discoloured specimens from Peru are herein tentatively attributed to C. chilensis because of the similar left chela (see Fig. 2E), the presence of only one spine on the ocular acicle, and collection locality (Callao, 12°S). A number of sibling species have been recognized in Calcinus recently, raising the possibility of the existence of new color variants along the eastern Pacific, especially in latitudes ranging from 10° to 25°S where scarce collections or observations have been made (Fig. 7). Such is needed to make comparisons of any new variants with C. chilensis.</p> <p>Calcinus explorator Boone, 1930 (Fig. 3)</p> <p>Calcinus explorator Boone, 1930: 28, pl. 3 [type locality: Española I.

The species is also reported from Colombia by Snyder-Conn (1980: 278, undefined place) but it must have been confused here with C. obscurus.</p> <p>HABITAT. — Collected at low tide in coral rubble; common in upper and median part of intertidal area, occasionally in lower part up to depth of few meters.</p> <p>DIAGNOSIS</p> <p>Ocular acicle terminating in one or rarely two spines, on one side only. Anterodorsal plate of branchiostegite smooth with one or two spinules subproximally. Upper margin of right chela smooth (Fig. 3D). Outer face of left chela regularly convex (Fig. 3C). Dactyls of P2 and P3 with similar setation consisting of sparse, widely-spaced tufts of setae (Fig. 3E). Propodus of P3 with dorsolateral margin rounded or weakly angled; upper half of outer face evenly convex or slightly depressed. Dactyl of P3 0.7-0.8 times length of propodus, with five to seven spines on ventral margin. Telson with posterior lobes each with single terminal spine.</p> <p>Coloration (Fig. 3)</p> <p>In life, shield black, paler on proximal half, fading quickly to orange after few days in preservative. Ocular acicles white on distal half, black at bases. Ocular peduncles black, with narrow white band close to corneas. Antennular peduncles black with distal half of terminal segments and flagella orange. Antennal peduncles black on first, to third segments, and orange on fourth and fifth segments, flagella, and antennal acicles. Chelipeds black on meri, carpi, and chelae, with white on cutting margins and tip of fingers (Fig. 3D). Ambulatory legs uniformly black on meri, carpi and propodi. Dactyls bright orange with large black median ring, and narrow black proximal ring (sometimes unclear); terminal claws black. Abdomen cream to white. Eggs red.</p> <p>REMARKS</p> <p>The type series of Calcinus explorator is defined by Boone (1932: 22) as: “The type, an adult male specimen and four additional specimens, one ovigerous”. This material was checked for us in AMNH collections by C. B. Boyko (pers. comm.). According to place of collection, one male (AMNH 12244) labelled as “ Paratype ” must be the holotype. The paratypes are in AMNH 12245 but this lot includes eight specimens instead of four cited by Boone. Five others AMNH lots are labeled as “ Paratypes ”: Galápagos, Eden I., 6.IV.1923, 4 specimens (AMNH 12582); Genovesa I. (= Tower I.), C. Hay leg., 15.IV.1930, 15 specimens (AMNH 6312); Cocos I., J. Chapin leg., 17.IV.1930, 1 specimen (AMNH 6309), 2 specimens (AMNH 6313); 31.III-2.IV.1925, 8 specimens (AMNH 12577). AMNH collection includes two additional uncataloged lots from the Vanderbilt Museum labeled as “ Pagurus explorator ”, probably those cited by Boone (1930: 28): Galápagos, Genovesa I. (= Tower I.), Darwin Bay, 13.III.1926; Española I. (= Hood I.), 5.II.1928.</p> <p>The black coloration of Calcinus explorator is very similar to that of C. obscurus. Some authors have discussed their possible synonymy (Chace 1962: 626; Hendrickx &amp; Harvey 1999: 368). The two species, however, can be separated by the armature of the ocular acicles, one spine in C. explorator, and two to four spines in C. obscurus; and by subtle colour differences. The chelae are totally black in C. explorator, whereas there are orange tints on the margins in C. obscurus (Figs 3B; 5A); the dactyls of P2 and P3 are orange with a large median black ring and narrow proximal black ring in C. explorator, whereas this color pattern is variable in C. obscurus (Fig. 6); the distal white band on the ocular peduncles is narrower in C. explorator than in C. obscurus. Calcinus explorator is also morphologically close to C. mclaughlinae n. sp. The two can be distinguished based on coloration (Figs 3; 4), if still present on specimens. The specimens from Clarión I., Cocos I., and Galápagos, marked by an asterisk in Material examined, had lost coloration, and thus are</p> <p>A</p> <p>E assigned to C. explorator based on the morphological differences cited by Chace (1962: 628). The distal margin of palm of left chela is oblique and almost continuous with the upper margin of fixed finger in C. explorator, whereas the distal margin of the palm is nearly transverse and makes an angle with the upper margin of fixed finger in C. mclaughlinae n. sp. (see Chace 1962: figs 4, 6). The upper part of the outer surface of the propodus of P3 is less flattened and concave in C. explorator than in C. mclaughlinae n. sp. However, due to intraspecific variation these two characters are often difficult to use reliably.</p> <p>Calcinus explorator has been frequently reported from eastern Pacific Oceanic Islands such as Revillagigedo, Clipperton, Cocos, and Galápagos. Snyder-Conn (1980: 278), based on J. Haig unpublished identifications (M. Hendrickx pers. comm.), listed other localities where C. explorator co-occurs with C. californiensis, such as Gulf of California (Cabo Pulmo), Mexican continental islands (Tres Maria Is., Isabel I.), and Mexican coast (Bay Tenacatita). The presence of C. explorator in the Gulf of California has been confirmed by Rodríguez Almaraz et al. 2002 (Carmen I.), and along the Mexican coast by Hernández Aguilera et al. 1986 (Tres Maria Is., Chamela Bay), and Hendrickx &amp; Harvey 1999 (Punta Mita). Cooccurrence of Calcinus explorator and C. californiensis along the Mexican mainland is confirmed in this study. Both species were positively identified based on morphology and color, in material examined from Nayarit, Isabel I. (coll. Glassell, 2.VII.1938, USNM).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/9B1687F8FFDC25003288FC53FEDFFA98	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.

These have proved to be C. mclaughlinae n. sp. At that time Chace did not have available coloured specimens from the Mexican mainland for comparison. During the present study, specimens of C. californiensis were collected at Acapulco after the sojourn at Clipperton, and careful comparison of fresh specimens were made from both localities. Calcinus mclaughlinae n. sp. is clearly distinct from C. californiensis by evenly bright red fingers on left chela (Fig. 4 A-C), and the dactyls of P2 and P3 which are bright red proximally, and orange distally (Fig. 4E). All living specimens of C. californiensis collected at Acapulco have the fingers of the left chela black with bright red margins (Fig. 1C), and the dactyls of P2 and P3 are evenly bright red (Fig. 1E). In the absence of coloration the two species can still be separated by the ocular acicle, with one or rarely two or three spines in C. mclaughlinae n. sp., whereas there are usually two to four spines in C. californiensis. However, as already noted by Chace (1962: 630), this character alone can sometimes be useless because of intraspecific variation.</p> <p>The coloration of Calcinus mclaughlinae n. sp. is distinct from that of C. explorator (Figs 3; 4). However, uncoloured specimens of the two species can be confused because of same aspect of ocular acicle (one terminal spine). The few uncoloured specimens examined herein from the Revillagigedo (Clarión I.) and Cocos I. are very similar to C. mclaughlinae n. sp. by their overall morphology although tentatively assigned to C. explorator (see Remarks under C. explorator). For the time being, C. mclaughlinae n. sp. can be considered as endemic to Clipperton Island, although it is potentially an “insular endemic” sensu Garth (1960, 1991, 1992) i.e. distributed at least in the Revillagigedo and possibly also in the west coast of Baja California Sur (Punta Cala, Roca de la Vela, Punta Tosca, Magdalena Bay). Calcinus californiensis has previously been reported from these insular localities but has not been compared with live material from Clipperton (Haig et al. 1970; Ball &amp; Haig 1974; Hernández Aguilera 2002). During the present study, a lot with 37 preserved specimens (USNM 42550) lacking colour were examined from Baja Magdalena, and are tentatively attributed to C. mclaughlinae n. sp. based on the presence of one spine on the ocular acicles. Two to four spines were observed in all specimens of C. californiensis from the Gulf and Mexican mainland.</p> <p>Calcinus obscurus Stimpson, 1859 (Figs 5; 6)</p> <p>Calcinus obscurus Stimpson, 1859: 83 [type locality: Panama]. — Nobili 1901: 26. — Holthuis 1954: 20, figs 5, 6. — Ball &amp; Haig 1974: 101. — Prahl et al. 1979: 63. — Moran 1984: 74, fig. 6. — Lemaitre &amp; Alvarez-León 1992: 46. — Moran &amp; Dittel 1993: 611. — Hendrickx 1995: 550. — Hendrickx &amp; Harvey 1999: 368. — Boschi 2000: 71.</p> <p>Non Calcinus obscurus – Schmitt 1924: 170; 1939: 11, 25, 26 = C. explorator Boone, 1930.</p> <p>TYPE MATERIAL. — Not seen; probably not extant.

Holthuis (1954: 22) reported a doubtful record (reference not indicated) from South California, probably based on C. californiensis. Lemaitre &amp; Alvarez-León (1992: 46) listed “California” in the distribution of C. obscurus, based on Holthuis’ reference. As suggested by Hendrickx &amp; Harvey (1999: 368), this obscure record must be considered erroneous, and the northern limit of C. obscurus more confidently is La Libertad (13°29’N).</p> <p>HABITAT. — Lower intertidal, among rocks, rubble, or algae; commonly found in large numbers (Stimpson 1859; Ball &amp; Haig 1974).</p> <p>DIAGNOSIS</p> <p>Ocular acicle terminating in two to four spines, or rarely one. Anterodorsal plate of branchiostegite smooth, with one or two spinules subproximally. Upper margin of right chela smooth (Fig. 5C). Outer face of left chela regularly convex (Fig. 5B). Dactyls of P2-P3 with similar setation consisting of sparse, widely-spaced tufts of setae (Fig. 5D). Propodus of P3 with dorsolateral margin weakly angled, upper half of outer face weakly concave. Dactyl of P3 0.5-0.7 times length of propodus, with 6-8 spines on ventral margin.Telson with posterior lobes each with single terminal spine.</p> <p>Coloration (Fig. 5A)</p> <p>In life, shield black, posterior shield gray; ocular acicles orange with broad black band at bases. Ocular peduncles black, with narrow orange band proximally and narrow white band close to cornea. Antennular peduncles black with distal half of terminal segments and flagella orange. Antennal peduncles, antennal acicles, and flagella orange. Chelipeds with meri and carpi black, bordered with orange on upper and anterior margins; chelae black with orange on upper margins of palms and dactyls, tip of dactyls pale orange to white, cutting edges of fingers white. Ambulatory legs uniformly black on meri, carpi and propodi. Dactyls black with bright orange rings varying as follows: with single, narrow ring distally (Fig. 6A), or with submedian and distal rings (Fig. 6D), or with distal orange ring and variably developed intermediate submedian ring (Fig. 6B, C). Abdomen tan with orange hues, sixth abdominal tergite and telson gray, white at margins, uropods white. In preservative, coloration of shield, ocular peduncles and chelae fading quickly to orange. However, coloration of ambulatory legs is still visible after 36 years in some specimens, and color pattern of dactyls is still visible after 100 years in the case of specimens collected during a cruise of the USFC Albatross (USNM 40545).</p> <p>REMARKS</p> <p>Calcinus obscurus is closely allied, and easily confused with C. explorator. The differences between the two species are reported under the latter species. The easiest way to separate the two is by the armature of the ocular acicles, with two to four spines in C. obscurus instead of usually one spine in C. explorator. However, 3% of C. obscurus specimens examined have only one terminal spine on the ocular acicle, and thus this character should be used with caution to separate the two species. Coloration is overall black and very similar in C. obscurus and C. explorator, differing in minor details of the ocular peduncles, chelae, and dactyls of ambulatory legs (see Remarks under C. explorator). The most obvious color difference is the presence of orange margins on chelae in C. obscurus only (Figs 5A; 3C). The geographic distributions of the two are also different, with C. obscurus known from the mainland only from 13°29’N (La Libertad, El Salvador) to 4°07’S (Máncora, Peru), whereas C. explorator is insular (Cocos, Galápagos, Clipperton, Revillagigedo), and has been recorded at higher latitudes on the mainland between 25°55’N (Carmen I., Gulf of California) to 19°16’N (Tenacatita, Mexico).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/9B1687F8FFD72519328DFAEFFE63F93C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
