Remarks.
The NHM female agrees well with what has been redescribed by
Shahdadi & Schubart (2017)
. Smaller adult specimens tend to have the carapace relatively slightly wider and the lateral teeth more pronounced (e.g., ZRC 1999.0568), as is the case for the present specimen in NHM.
Fasciarma fasciatum
, common in back mangroves, was described from
Singapore
but has since been reported from Peninsular
Malaysia
, eastern
Thailand
, northern Borneo (Labuan), southern
China
and
Hong Kong
(cf.,
Shahdadi & Schubart, 2017: 541
). As discussed under the remarks for
Sayamia
(see above), the provenance of the present specimen is uncertain and its supposed origins,
Thailand
, must be treated with doubt.
