M07, Stn. 62, 174m , ♂ 25.5× 17mm ; ♀ 31.1×21, ♀ 24,1× 16.9mm (IEO-CD-MZ07/1909). Habitat and distribution. Japan , Chine , Philippines , Indonesia , east coast of Australia , New Caledonia , Vanuatu , Fiji , Tonga and Futuna in a depth range of 80–405m , Madagascar at 235–455m depth, and east coast of South Africa . Results and remarks. These two specimens were collected in M07, at the same station at 174m depth . They agree well with the description and figures in Crosnier (2002) , being the first record of P. orientalis off Mozambique . Colouration observed. The carapace was bright orange, with some more reddish areas and white anterolateral sides. The legs were bright orange with narrow white bands in the proximal zones of merus and carpus and in the proximal and distal areas of propodus. Dactyli of P5 were transparent. DNA barcodes. The specimen was preserved in formalin and therefore, it was not possible to get DNA sequences.
