Remarks.
Yap-Chiongco (1938)
noted that
Cl. antillensis
was only previously known from the West Atlantic, yet reported collecting
150 specimens
of this species from Mindoro and
Palawan
provinces. It is reasonable to assume that his collections probably were comprised of another, abundant hermit crab species, however the identity of the species is not known and Yap-Chiongco’s collections are no longer extant (
Estampador, 1959
). It is possible that
Cl. antillensis sensu
Yap-Chiongco (1938)
is
Cl. ransoni
Forest, 1953
judging from the white stripe on the ambulatory legs, also from the fact that dactyls of ambulatory legs are shorter than propodi with carina on lateral surfaces of both segments. However,
Cl. ransoni
has not yet been reported from the
Philippines
.
