Panopeus hartii - Guadeloupe, Karubenthos 2012, det. D. Felder October 2013, 1 female juv. 8.8 x 12.5 mm, MNHN-IU-2013-14549, st. GB35, 2 m, JL1526 (carpus is rugose), pre-det. Poupin as Acantholobulus ?bermudenis, corrected by D. Felder, based on photos, mail 28/10/2013: I do not think this is a juvenile of A. bermudensis, far too large for a juvenile, but quite possibly an example of Panopeus harteii; it is a pretty close match to some I have from Belize.
