, are summarized in Table 2. It shows that some features, e.g., the length of the carpocerite, the shape of the merus and the chela of the major cheliped, and the slenderness of the minor cheliped, may indeed be sexually dimorphic and/or age-dependent. However, more material with information on colour patterns and ecology is needed to conclude about the taxonomic status of
