Male Euphylax dovi (above) taken in a sardine net in Monterey Bay, California on 18 December 1943. Male E. dovi (below) captured under Fisherman's Wharf, Monterey, California on 6 December 1943. Photograph by Lloyd Ullberg. The Hopkins Marine Station specimens, preserved in 75% ETOH, are a macu- lated reddish-brown with lighter yellowish appendages. The Mission Beach specimen is rose-pink with cream shadings and with gray to black maculations in the epibranchial and hepatic region. All three crabs possess an opalaceous sheen. These colors are, in part, artifacts of the denaturization of caroteno- proteins. Life colors are red-purple and blue (Nichols and Murphy 1944; Garth 1948), and they suggest, together with the flattened dactyli and propodi on all four legs, a pelagic existence for at least part of the species' life. Cyclic warm water periods, resulting in an intrusion of tropical fauna into California waters, have been documented by Hubbs (1948). They are associated with shoreward movement of the Davidson current and periods of little or no upwelling. Reportedly, these phenomena occur from December through Febru- ary, and have been postulated as the cause of sporadic beaching of pelagic invertebrates such as the pelagic red crab, Pleuroucodes planipes, as far north as Monterey Bay (Glynn 1961). The Mission Beach and Monterey Bay specimens, as well as those reported by Word (1976), establish £ dovi s^s a transient member of the California Brachyuran Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original California.
