Hosts. All specimens were collected from Pinctada radiata (Leach) , Pinctada sp., or large oysters (Bivalvia, Mollusca).
Regional records. Aden: Gold Mohur Bay (Bruce, 1978); Oman: Mirbar, Dhofar ( Holthuis, 1986); Maldive Islands: Minicoy; Malé Atoll ( Borradaile, 1917).
General distribution. Type locality: Ibo, Moçambique. Widespread throughout most tropical IndoPacific waters where pearl oysters occur, from the Red Sea to the Hawaiian Islands.
Remarks. The specimens of this well known species present no special features. The fingers of the second pereiopod chela of this species are illustrated by Fransen (1994, figure 21). In the fingers of some of the present specimens ( Figure 1 View FIGURE 1 A) the dactylus is more slender and the teeth on the cutting edge ( Figure 1 View FIGURE 1 B) are more developed. The dactylar tooth is compressed and finely denticulate: on the fixed finger, the proximal tooth is not compressed and is densely covered with minute acute tubercles, the distal tooth is compressed, with a denticulate edge,
