Remarks . Herbst (1804 : 9) described this species from material from somewhere in the "East Indies" and as far as is known, the type is lost ( Sakai 1999 ). This is the type species of Rhinolambrus A. Milne-Edwards, 1878. The species has a wide Indo-West Pacific distribution (see Flipse 1930 ; Sakai 1976 ); and in India has been reported from various parts of Tamil Nadu and Andamans ( Henderson 1893 ; Jeyabaskaran et al. 2000 ; Kathirvel and Gokul 2010 ; Dev Roy and Nandi 2012 ; Vidhya et al. 2017 ). The present materials are all juveniles, with none of the gonopod structures of the males developed even though the chelipeds are elongated. The pronounced "neck-like" constriction in adults of this species has still not developed (Fig. 6B).
