N2 - Pachycheles laevidactylus Ortmann, 1892, previously considered a synonym of the eastern Pacific P. grossimanus (Guérin-Méneville, 1835), has been found to be a distinct species. Examination of type and non-type specimens of P. laevidactylus, P. grossimanus, and the western Atlantic P. haigae Rodrigues da Costa, 1960 also demonstrated that P. haigae is a junior synonym of P. laevidactylus.
