Habitat.
Intertidal, in estuarine river habitats, mangroves and nipa palms.
Remarks.
Although the colour of the specimen in this study (
Fig. 2B
) is dark brown, much darker than the specimens studied by
Osawa & Fujita (2008)
and
Rahayu & Setyadi (2009)
, the morphological characters agree well with the description of the species. This is the first report of this species from the
Philippines
.
