Basal segments of walking legs gray to brown with dark brown longitudinal stripes and variable pattern of light spots. Material examined.—The Dominican collections contain 13 males (carapace lengths mm), 14 females (cl mm), and 12 juveniles (cl mm). In the smallest identifiable male, the pleopods are very short and vestigial, but no pleopods were detectable in one slightly larger specimen. Egg membranes were still attached to the pleopods of the largest female, collected in March. Ecological notes.—Neither the habits nor habitat of Ocypode quadrata on Dominica differ from those observed elsewhere in its range. The members of this species seem to be confined to sandy.
