<jats:p>The Reverend Thomas Roscoe Rede Stebbing (b. 6 February 1835, d. 8 July 1926) is best known for his work on amphipod systematics (see Calman 1926, 1927; Mills 1976). Stebbing, however, also contributed significantly to the study of decapod crustaceans of South Africa in the 12-part South African Crustacea for the Marine Investigations in South Africa (Table 1). In 15 publications (Stebbing 1902, 1904, 1905a, b, 1908, 1910, 1914a, 1917b, 1918, 1920a, b, 1921a, b, 1923, 1924), Stebbing established seven genus- (four currently considered to be valid) and 29 (18 currently considered to be valid) species-group names for Brachyura (Table 2). The two family-group names proposed by Stebbing (1902, 1905a) are now junior synonyms. Three names: Dotilla clepsydra Stebbing, 1917 (= Dotilla fenestrata Hilgendorf, 1869, Dotillidae), Epialtus vetchi Stebbing, 1920 (= Elamena mathoei (Desmarest, 1823), Hymenosomatidae), and Mamaia queketti Stebbing, 1908 (= Maja capensis Ortmann, 1894, Majidae), were not treated in the world brachyuran checklist of Ng et al. (2008) (see notes accompanying Table 2).</jats:p>
