Remarks. The species of Liocarcinus are in urgent need of revision ( Davie, 2002, p459).The detailed synonymy presented here is limited to Australasia, thereby including and verifying all the records therefrom. The only species liable to be confused with L. corrugatus is Nectocarcinus antarcticus . The main differences between them are: frontal carapace margin with 3 evenly rounded lobes (4 small sub-acute teeth in N. antarcticus ), anterolateral carapace margin cut into 5 prominent teeth (margin cut into 4 small teeth), and tips of dactyli on swimming legs (P5) pointed (tips bluntly rounded). However these features refer to adults and smaller specimens have anterolateral teeth that are relatively larger (see below for ontogenetic changes).

Distribution. Supposedly includes the Atlantic Ocean and the Indo-West Pacific region. Known from Australia and New Zealand. The record from the Chatham Rise extends the southern limit to 42°43’ S. Depth range is 0–137 m (being a swimming crab this does not mean intertidal).
