This drawing is from
Herbst (1790)
. It is the image accompanying the type description of
Gelasimus tetragonon
. This species was, unusually for fiddler crabs, described from a female specimen (which at the time they did not realize were different than males, so no association was made between this specimen and the names associated with fiddlers).
