Remarks.
Rahayu (2015) gave a short diagnosis and a description of the colouration in life on the basis of the material from
Johor
Strait. The specimens examined in this study are smaller than those examined by Rahayu (2015), however because of the following specific characters, the identification is justified: the possession of a long antennal acicle that is overreaching the base of the fourth antennal peduncular segment; the relatively small corneas; the convex outer surface of the palm of the left cheliped that is covered with spinulose tubercles and with a strong median ridge; and the presence of a longitudinal brown stripe on the dorsal surface of the ocular peduncle.
