Calcinus vachoni Forest, 1958

Calcinus vachoni Forest, 1958: 285 , Figs. 2 , 3 , 9 , 10, 15, 19 (Nha Trang, Vietnam, type locality); Morgan, 1991: 905–907, Figs. 60–62; Malay & Paulay, 2010: Fig. 6 , Appendix S1.

Habitat. Subtidal, reef slopes, on coral, rubble, and rocky substrates.

Remarks. Calcinus vachoni is an uncommon species in the Philippines and it was not collected during the PANGLAO 2004 expeditions, however it was previously collected from the NW coast of Luzon ( Malay & Paulay, 2010, Appendix S1). Calcinus vachoni appears to be a species complex, with undescribed cryptic taxa in the western Indian Ocean (Mascarenes) and the central Pacific ( Cook Islands) ( Malay & Paulay, 2010).
