A redescription of Diogenes senex Heller, 1865, sensu stricto (Decapoda: Anomura: Paguridea: Diogenidae)

Diogenes senex Heller, 1865 sensu stricto is redescribed from specimens collected in Australia, particularly in and around the type locality of Sydney. A neotype has been designated. Comparisons of this material with other specimens identified as D. senex by a number of authors has shown that at present only the Australian material truly represents Heller's taxon.

This first note deals with Diogenes of Group II (cf. Forest, 1952, p. 11). This group contains a number of highly variable species which are, in some cases, poorly characterized due to the vagueness of the original descriptions. Diogenes from Nhatrang belong to four different species but only one of them was identified with a species already described: Diogenes avarus Heller. The other three described and figured in this paper, are probably Diogenes Goniochirus, and D. leptocerus, D. serenei sp. nov.
