Remarks
. Bamber
et al
., (2012) recorded this species off
Brunei
in a depth range of
0 to 8 m
depth, and figured the female cheliped for the first time. The present samples confirm its presence in the shallower waters (only) off this coastline, extending its depth range here down to
12.7 m
. No specimens were found at the numerous stations sampled from
20 to 90 m
depth.
The only other records of
Pagurapseudopsis gracilipes
are the
types
collected by Shiino (1963) off South
Vietnam
, in depths of
8 to 14 m
, on mud.
