Dorippe frascone View in CoL — Blackmore and Rainbow 2000: app. 1 [not Cancer frascone Herbst, 1785 ].

Taxonomy: Holthuis and Manning (1990).

Type: Syntype ñ RMNH D 43031 ( Fransen et al. 1997); and syntypes in NHMD ( Zimsen 1964; Holthuis and Manning 1990).

Type locality: “ India orientali”: Tharangambadi (= Tranquebar), India ( Holthuis and Manning 1990).

Distribution: Western Indian Ocean to West Pacific: from Madagascar, southeastern Africa, Red Sea, Persian/Arabian Gulf, India, to Southeast and East Asia, and Australia ( Holthuis and Manning 1990).

Habitat: Subtidal; substrates muddy or sandy; depths 12 to 50 m ( Chen and Sun 2002).

Remarks: Cancer dorsipes Linnaeus, 1764 had been shown to be a preoccupied name of C. dorsipes Linnaeus, 1758 , the older name is actually a raninid crab, now as Notopus dorsipes ( Linnaeus, 1758) , and the next available name is C. quadridens Fabricius, 1793 ( Holthuis and Manning 1990). Older records of “ D. frascone ” reported from the Philippines and Indonesia, and reports from outside that range, including those in East Asia, are either D. quadridens or D. sinica ( Holthuis and Manning 1990) . The record of D. frascone presented by Blackmore and Rainbow (2000) was probably identified based on regional works such as Chen (1980), Dai et al. (1986), or Dai and Yang (1991). They are here treated as D. quadridens as well (cf. Chen and Sun 2002).
