Material examined. Norfolk Ridge: NMNZ, 6 males (13.3–20.5 mm), 7 females (15.4–24.4 mm), 26°25.94’S, 167°10.87’E, 750–774 m, TAN0308/043 #59, 18 May 2003; NIWA 28055, 1 male (20.7 mm), 1 ovigerous female (18.9 mm), 26°25.94’S, 167°10.87’E, 750–774 m, TAN0308/043 #59, 18 May 2003.

Colour in life. Base colour translucent white. Carapace pale, diffuse orange with orange-red spines. Chelipeds with pale, diffuse orange bands across articulations and orange-red spines. Walking legs with pale, diffuse orange meri and propodi; dactyli red distally; spines orange-red.

Remarks. Variation in carapace spination in the present series resembles that reported by Ahyong & Poore (2004): one cardiac spine and two branchiocardiac spines are usually present, except in two specimens, in which the posterior branchiocardiac spine was incipient.

Distribution. The Philippines, Indonesia, eastern Australia, New Caledonia, Loyalty Islands, Wallis and Futuna Islands; 564–1051 m ( Baba 2005).
