Comment:
McLaughlin et al. (2005) note: "Calcinus gaimardii. D. L. Rahayu and J. Forest, 1999, Zoosystema 21(2):462-468, divided C. gaimardii into two species, C. gaimardii (H. Milne Edwards, 1848) sensu stricto, and C. morgani Rahayu and Forest, 1999, based primarily on differences in color patterns. These authors were unable to precisely establish geographic boundaries for the two species, and indicated (op. cit., Figure 3) that both species questionably occurred in the Hawaiian Islands. Because it is impossible to tell from the existing literature which taxon is being reported, Calcinus gaimardii in the broad sense of the taxon is included in the present list."
