Perhaps not Speocarcinus carolinensis Stimpson, 1859 but Speocarcinus dentatus according to Brandão, Coelho-Filho & Tavares (2012: 14) comment "Fausto-Filho and Sampaio Neto (1976) identified one male from Amapá as S. carolinensis. Although we have not been able to examine the specimen, we believe that it should be tentatively referred to S. dentatus n. sp."
