Remarks. – This is one of the most common euxanthine species to be collected from the Bohol Sea. The live colouration of the juvenile form is noted here: the carapace is basically rosy pink, with splotches of red or purple; the chelipeds are similarly hued but lighter and more mottled, the inner surface of the palm and carpus is white, and the fingers are a light brown, becoming even lighter at the tips; the ambulatory legs are a mottled brown and white. Many of the specimens collected are juveniles, and these were collected by coral brushing or vacuum suctioning. All of the adults were collected by tangle net. Hypocolpus haanii has been reported previously from Japan and Thailand (Guinot- Dumortier, 1960).
